Module rustc_ap_rustc_ast::mut_visit[][src]

Expand description

A MutVisitor represents an AST modification; it accepts an AST piece and and mutates it in place. So, for instance, macro expansion is a MutVisitor that walks over an AST and modifies it.

Note: using a MutVisitor (other than the MacroExpander MutVisitor) on an AST before macro expansion is probably a bad idea. For instance, a MutVisitor renaming item names in a module will miss all of those that are created by the expansion of a macro.

Traits

Functions

Use a map-style function (FnOnce(T) -> T) to overwrite a &mut T. Useful when using a flat_map_* or filter_map_* method within a visit_ method. Abort the program if the closure panics.

Applies the visitor to elements of interpolated nodes.
