Struct rhai::AST

pub struct AST(_, _);

Compiled AST (abstract syntax tree) of a Rhai script.

Currently, AST is neither Send nor Sync. Turn on the sync feature to make it Send + Sync.

Implementations

impl AST

pub fn new(statements: Vec<Stmt>, lib: Module) -> Self

Create a new AST.

pub fn statements(&self) -> &[Stmt]

👎 Deprecated:

this method is volatile and may change

[INTERNALS] Get the statements. Exported under the internals feature only.

pub fn lib(&self) -> &Module

👎 Deprecated:

this method is volatile and may change

[INTERNALS] Get the internal Module containing all script-defined functions. Exported under the internals feature only.

pub fn clone_functions_only(&self) -> Self

Clone the AST’s functions into a new AST. No statements are cloned.

This operation is cheap because functions are shared.

pub fn clone_functions_only_filtered(
    &self,
    filter: impl FnMut(FnAccess, &str, usize) -> bool
) -> Self

Clone the AST’s functions into a new AST based on a filter predicate. No statements are cloned.

This operation is cheap because functions are shared.

pub fn clone_statements_only(&self) -> Self

Clone the AST’s script statements into a new AST. No functions are cloned.

pub fn merge(&self, other: &Self) -> Self

Merge two AST into one. Both AST’s are untouched and a new, merged, version is returned.

Statements in the second AST are simply appended to the end of the first without any processing. Thus, the return value of the first AST (if using expression-statement syntax) is buried. Of course, if the first AST uses a return statement at the end, then the second AST will essentially be dead code.

All script-defined functions in the second AST overwrite similarly-named functions in the first AST with the same number of parameters.

Example

use rhai::Engine;

let engine = Engine::new();

let ast1 = engine.compile(r#"
                fn foo(x) { 42 + x }
                foo(1)
            "#)?;

let ast2 = engine.compile(r#"
                fn foo(n) { "hello" + n }
                foo("!")
            "#)?;

let ast = ast1.merge(&ast2);    // Merge 'ast2' into 'ast1'

// Notice that using the '+' operator also works:
// let ast = &ast1 + &ast2;

// 'ast' is essentially:
//
//    fn foo(n) { "hello" + n } // <- definition of first 'foo' is overwritten
//    foo(1)                    // <- notice this will be "hello1" instead of 43,
//                              //    but it is no longer the return value
//    foo("!")                  // returns "hello!"

// Evaluate it
assert_eq!(engine.eval_ast::<String>(&ast)?, "hello!");

pub fn combine(&mut self, other: Self) -> &mut Self

Combine one AST with another. The second AST is consumed.

Statements in the second AST are simply appended to the end of the first without any processing. Thus, the return value of the first AST (if using expression-statement syntax) is buried. Of course, if the first AST uses a return statement at the end, then the second AST will essentially be dead code.

All script-defined functions in the second AST overwrite similarly-named functions in the first AST with the same number of parameters.

Example

use rhai::Engine;

let engine = Engine::new();

let mut ast1 = engine.compile(r#"
                    fn foo(x) { 42 + x }
                    foo(1)
                "#)?;

let ast2 = engine.compile(r#"
                fn foo(n) { "hello" + n }
                foo("!")
            "#)?;

ast1.combine(ast2);    // Combine 'ast2' into 'ast1'

// Notice that using the '+=' operator also works:
// ast1 += ast2;

// 'ast1' is essentially:
//
//    fn foo(n) { "hello" + n } // <- definition of first 'foo' is overwritten
//    foo(1)                    // <- notice this will be "hello1" instead of 43,
//                              //    but it is no longer the return value
//    foo("!")                  // returns "hello!"

// Evaluate it
assert_eq!(engine.eval_ast::<String>(&ast1)?, "hello!");

pub fn merge_filtered(
    &self,
    other: &Self,
    filter: impl FnMut(FnAccess, &str, usize) -> bool
) -> Self

Merge two AST into one. Both AST’s are untouched and a new, merged, version is returned.

Statements in the second AST are simply appended to the end of the first without any processing. Thus, the return value of the first AST (if using expression-statement syntax) is buried. Of course, if the first AST uses a return statement at the end, then the second AST will essentially be dead code.

All script-defined functions in the second AST are first selected based on a filter predicate, then overwrite similarly-named functions in the first AST with the same number of parameters.

Example

use rhai::Engine;

let engine = Engine::new();

let ast1 = engine.compile(r#"
                fn foo(x) { 42 + x }
                foo(1)
            "#)?;

let ast2 = engine.compile(r#"
                fn foo(n) { "hello" + n }
                fn error() { 0 }
                foo("!")
            "#)?;

// Merge 'ast2', picking only 'error()' but not 'foo(_)', into 'ast1'
let ast = ast1.merge_filtered(&ast2, |_, name, params| name == "error" && params == 0);

// 'ast' is essentially:
//
//    fn foo(n) { 42 + n }      // <- definition of 'ast1::foo' is not overwritten
//                              //    because 'ast2::foo' is filtered away
//    foo(1)                    // <- notice this will be 43 instead of "hello1",
//                              //    but it is no longer the return value
//    fn error() { 0 }          // <- this function passes the filter and is merged
//    foo("!")                  // <- returns "42!"

// Evaluate it
assert_eq!(engine.eval_ast::<String>(&ast)?, "42!");

pub fn combine_filtered(

assert_eq!(engine.eval_ast::<String>(&ast1)?, "42!");

pub fn retain_functions(
    &mut self,
    filter: impl FnMut(FnAccess, &str, usize) -> bool
)

Filter out the functions, retaining only some based on a filter predicate.

Example

use rhai::Engine;

let engine = Engine::new();

let mut ast = engine.compile(r#"
                        fn foo(n) { n + 1 }
                        fn bar() { print("hello"); }
                    "#)?;

// Remove all functions except 'foo(_)'
ast.retain_functions(|_, name, params| name == "foo" && params == 1);

pub fn iter_functions<'a>(
    &'a self
) -> impl Iterator<Item = (FnAccess, &str, usize, Rc<ScriptFnDef>)> + 'a

Iterate through all functions

pub fn clear_functions(&mut self)

Clear all function definitions in the AST.

pub fn clear_statements(&mut self)
