Crate proc_macro2 [−] [src]
A "shim crate" intended to multiplex the proc_macro API on to stable Rust.
Procedural macros in Rust operate over the upstream
proc_macro::TokenStream type. This type currently is quite conservative
and exposed no internal implementation details. Nightly compilers, however,
contain a much richer interface. This richer interface allows fine-grained
inspection of the token stream which avoids stringification/re-lexing and
also preserves span information.
The upcoming APIs added to proc_macro upstream are the foundation for
productive procedural macros in the ecosystem. To help prepare the ecosystem
for using them this crate serves to both compile on stable and nightly and
mirrors the API-to-be. The intention is that procedural macros which switch
to use this crate will be trivially able to switch to the upstream
proc_macro crate once its API stabilizes.
In the meantime this crate also has a nightly Cargo feature which
enables it to reimplement itself with the unstable API of proc_macro.
This'll allow immediate usage of the beneficial upstream API, particularly
around preserving span information.
