Network document formats used with the Tor protocols.
Documentation
//! Machinery for defining multiple varieties of network status document.
//!
//! This module handles re-using the same source code to define
//!  * Votes, and parts thereof
//!  * Consensuses, and parts thereof
//!  * Microdescriptor consensuses, and parts thereof
//!
//! We call these three kinds of document "variety".
//! So a variety is either "vote", or a consensus flavour.
//!
//! # Overwview
//!
//! Network status documents, including consensuses (of various flavours) and votes,
//! have a lot of similarity.
//! But they also have a lot of fiddly ad-hoc differences.
//!
//! To deal with this similarity, and to avoid repeating too much code,
//! while still handling the variation, we do as follows:
//!
//!  * Types which are simply the same for all varieties,
//!    are defined in shared modules like
//!    `tor_netdoc::doc::netstatus` (whole network status documents) and
//!    `tor_netdoc::doc::netstatus::rs` (router status entries).
// We would like to linkify ^ these but that involves decorating many things pub(crate)
// only in #[cfg(doc)] which is quite annoying.  These are just examples, anyway.
//!
//!  * Types which are completely different between varieties
//!    are defined in ordinary variety-specific modules like
//!    `tor_netdoc::doc::netstatus::rs::md`
//!    (router status entries in microdescriptor consensus).
//!
//!  * Types which are *similar* across varieties, but not identical,
//!    are handled via a per-variety macro-and-multiple-inclusion scheme.
//!    That scheme is implemented in this module.
//!
//!  * Types which are *similar* across consensus *flavours*, but not defined for *votes*,
//!    are handled via a per-*flavour* macro-and-multiple-inclusion scheme.
//!
//! # Each-variety/flavour macro and multiple inclusion scheme
//!
//! This module contains macros that will be used to define
//! similar-but-not-identical  types
//! for each document variety ("vote", "md", and "plain").
//!
//! The definition of such type is in an `each_variety.rs` file,
//! which will be included once for each variety.
//!
//! Types which are only implemented for votes are defined in `each_flavor.rs`.
//! which will be included once for each *flavour* (so not for votes).
//!
//! Within `each_variety.rs` and `each_flavor.rs` macros are available
//! (provided by the machinery here in `ns_variety_definition_macros`)
//! which can be used to define individual fields, or code fragments,
//! which vary between varieties.
//!
//! Inclusion of the `each_variety.rs` and `each_flavor.rs` files,
//! as adapted for the particular variety,
//! is done by calling `ns_do_variety_VARIETY`
//! in the (handwritten) specifies-specific module.
//!
//! For example, the call to `ns_do_variety_md!()`
//! in `tor-netdoc/src/doc/netstatus/rs/md.rs`
//! imports all of the contents of
//! `tor-netdoc/src/doc/netstatus/rs/each_variety.rs`
//! into the module `doc::netstatus::rs::md`.
//! And, for example, within `rs/each_variety.rs`,
//! `ns_const_name!(FOO)` expands to `MD_FOO`.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Create and include (with `mod`) normal module files:
//!  * `vote.rs`
//!  * `md.rs`
//!  * `plain
//!
//! These contain variety-specific definitions.
//!
//! Alongside these files, create:
//!  * `each_flavor.rs`
//!  * `each_variety.rs`
//!
//! Do not write a `mod` line for it.
//! Instead, in each of `vote.rs`, `plain.rs` and `md.rs`,
//! call [`ns_do_variety_vote`], [`ns_do_variety_plain`], or [`ns_do_variety_md`].
//!
//! The `each_variety.rs` file will be included three times, once each as a submodule
//! of the variety-specific file.
//! So there will be `...:vote::each_variety::`, etc.,
//! all of which will automatically be re-imported into the parent `vote`.
//! Likewise `each_flavor.rs` file will be included two times.
//!
//! Within `each_variety.rs` (`each_flavor.rs`),
//! all items you define will be triplicated (duplicated).
//! Give them unqualified names.
//! Re-export them in the overall parent module,
//! using `ns_export_each_variety`.
//!
//! # Module scope for `..::VARIETY` and `..::VARIETY::each_variety`/`::each_flavor`
//!
//! Whether to put a particular item in `each_variety.rs`/`each_flavor.rs`, or `VARIETY.rs`,
//! depends just on how similar the source code is for the different varieties.
//!
//! Accordingly there is no real principled distinction between
//! the namespace of each of the (per-variety) `each_variety`/`each_flavor` modules,
//! and their (also per-variety) parents.
//!
//! So `each_variety.rs` and `each_flavor.rs` should `use super::*`.
//! Whenever convenient, fields or private items can be `pub(super)`.
//! `VARIETY.rs` can contain impl blocks for types in `each_variety.rs` and vice versa.
//!
//! `VARIETY.rs` can and should use variety-agnostic names for internal types.
//!
//! Whether an item appears in `each_variety.rs` or `each_flavor.rs`
//! depends (only) on whether it is to be defined for votes, or just for flavours.
//!
//! # Macros for across-variety-variation
//!
//! Within `each_variety.rs`,
//! the following macros are defined for use in `each_variety.rs`/`each_flavor.rs`
//! for variety-dependent elements:
//!
//! * **`ns_ty_name!( BaseTypeName )`**:
//!
//!   Expands to `PlainBaseTypeName`, `MdBaseTypeName`, or `VoteBaseTypeName`.
//!
//!   Cannot be used to *define* a type.
//!   (Define the type with an unqualified name, and
//!   re-export it with the qualified name, using `ns_export_each_variety`.)
//!
//! * **`ns_const_name!( BASE_CONST_NAME )`**:
//!
//!   Expands to `PLAIN_BASE_CONST_NAME`, `MD_BASE_CONST_NAME`, or `VOTE_BASE_CONST_NAME`.
//!
//! * **`ns_type!( TypeForPlainConsensus, TypeForMdConsensus, [TypeForVote] )`**:
//!
//!   Expands to the appropriate one of the two or three specified types.
//!   `TypeForVote` may be omitted in `each_flavor.rs`; it is an error in `each_variety.rs`.
//!
//! * **`ns_expr!( value_for_plain_consensus, value_for_md_consensus, [value_for_vote] )`**:
//!
//!   Expands to the appropriate one of the two or three specified expressions.
//!
//! * **`ns_choose!( ( FOR PLAIN CONSENSUS.. )( FOR MD CONSENSUS.. )[( FOR VOTE.. )] )`**:
//!
//!   Expands to the appropriate one of the two or three specified token streams.
//!   (The `( )` surrounding each argument are discarded.)
//!
//!   When defining whole items, prefer to put the variety-specific items directly
//!   in each of the variety-specific modules.
//!
//! * **`ns_use_this_variety! { use [LHS]::?::{RHS}; }`**:
//!
//!   For importing names from variety-specific sibling modules.
//!
//!   In the `use` statement, literal `[ ]` are needed around LHS, and are removed.
//!   `?` is replaced with the variety abbreviation (`plain`, `md` or `vote).
//!
//!   Multiple `use` within the same `ns_use_this_variety!` are allowed.
//!   Visibility (`pub use` etc.) is supported.
//!
//!   Attributes are not currently supported.
//!   Unfortunately, only the form with RHS inside `{ }` is permitted.
//!
//! * **`ns_if_vote!{ ( FOR VOTES.. )( FOR CONSENSUSES.. ) }`**:
//!
//!   Expands to `FOR VOTES` or `FOR CONSENSUSES` as applicable,
//!   similarly to `ns_choose!`, writing the `FOR CONSENSUSES` part only once.
//!   (The `( )` surrounding each argument are discarded.)
//
// Other ways we could have done this:
//
//  * Generics: `NetworkStatus<Variety>`.
//
//    The generics get everywhere, and they seriously mess up the
//    ad-hoc specialisation used for type-based multiplicity dispatch
//    (see tor-netdoc/src/parse2/multiplicity.rs).
//    We used this scheme for consensuses vs microdescriptor consensuses,
//    but it's not workable for votes, so we are switching.
//
//  * tt-munching macro_rules macro that filters its input body,
//    replacing pseudo-macro invocations with their expansions.
//
//    This does work, but it involves radically increasing
//    the compiler recursion limit to many thousands.
//
//  * custom proc macro(s).
//
//    These would probably have to be bespoke to the application.
//
//  * build.rs, ad-hoc templating.  But this wouldn't be Rust syntax.

/// Includes items from `each_variety.rs` for a particular variety.
///
/// **Internal to `ns_variety_definition_macros.rs`, do not use directly!**
///
///  * `$abbrev` is one of `vote`, `plain`, or `md` as applicable.
///
///  * `: $plain $md $vote $d` is always `: plain md vote $`.
///    `$d` is needed because it's not possible to write a literal `$`
///    in the expansion part of a proc macro, except at the end of a group (!)
///    (`$$` can do that but is is not stable.)
///    `$vote` etc. are needed to match the identifier hygiene of `$abbrev`.
