Struct SymbolRef 

pub struct SymbolRef {
    pub name: String,
    pub kind: SymbolKind,
    pub span: Span,
}

A lightweight, stable reference to a code symbol for API responses

Prefer this over (String, SymbolKind, Span) tuples — tuples serialize as positional JSON arrays, making any field addition a breaking change. Named fields here are additive-safe: new optional fields can be added without shifting positions or bumping the version.

Fields

name: String

Symbol name (e.g., function name, class name)

kind: SymbolKind

Symbol kind (function, class, struct, etc.)

span: Span

Location span in source file

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SymbolRef

fn clone(&self) -> SymbolRef

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SymbolRef

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for SymbolRef

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

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for SymbolRef

fn eq(&self, other: &SymbolRef) -> 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 SymbolRef

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 SymbolRef
