Implementations

impl SymbolKind

pub fn from_u8(value: u8) -> Self

Convert a u8 value to SymbolKind

This is used for deserializing symbol kind from compact storage formats.

pub fn from_str(s: &str) -> Option<Self>

Convert a string representation to SymbolKind

Accepts both the enum variant names (e.g., “Function”, “Method”) and normalized keys (e.g., “fn”, “method”).

impl SymbolKind

pub fn normalized_key(&self) -> &'static str

Return the normalized string key for this symbol kind (used for CLI/JSON)

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SymbolKind

fn clone(&self) -> SymbolKind

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SymbolKind

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for SymbolKind

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for SymbolKind

fn eq(&self, other: &SymbolKind) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for SymbolKind

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Eq for SymbolKind

impl StructuralPartialEq for SymbolKind
