Expand description

mbe (short for Macro By Example) crate contains code for handling macro_rules macros. It uses TokenTree (from tt package) as the interface, although it contains some code to bridge SyntaxNodes and TokenTrees as well!

The tes for this functionality live in another crate: hir_def::macro_expansion_tests::mbe.

Structs

This struct contains AST for a single macro_rules definition. What might be very confusing is that AST has almost exactly the same shape as tt::TokenTree, but there’s a crucial difference: in macro rules, $ident and $()* have special meaning (see Var and Repeat data structures)

Maps tt::TokenId to the relative range of the original token.

Enums

Parse the whole of the input as a given syntactic construct.

Functions

Split token tree with separate expr: $($e:expr)SEP*

Convert a string to a TokenTree

Convert the syntax node to a TokenTree (what macro will consume).

Convert the syntax node to a TokenTree (what macro will consume) with the censored range excluded.
