Struct rustc_ap_rustc_span::Span

pub struct Span { /* fields omitted */ }

A compressed span.

Whereas SpanData is 12 bytes, which is a bit too big to stick everywhere, Span is a form that only takes up 8 bytes, with less space for the length and context. The vast majority (99.9%+) of SpanData instances will fit within those 8 bytes; any SpanData whose fields don't fit into a Span are stored in a separate interner table, and the Span will index into that table. Interning is rare enough that the cost is low, but common enough that the code is exercised regularly.

An earlier version of this code used only 4 bytes for Span, but that was slower because only 80--90% of spans could be stored inline (even less in very large crates) and so the interner was used a lot more.

Inline (compressed) format:

• span.base_or_index == span_data.lo
• span.len_or_tag == len == span_data.hi - span_data.lo (must be <= MAX_LEN)
• span.ctxt == span_data.ctxt (must be <= MAX_CTXT)

Interned format:

• span.base_or_index == index (indexes into the interner table)
• span.len_or_tag == LEN_TAG (high bit set, all other bits are zero)
• span.ctxt == 0

The inline form uses 0 for the tag value (rather than 1) so that we don't need to mask out the tag bit when getting the length, and so that the dummy span can be all zeroes.

Notes about the choice of field sizes:

• base is 32 bits in both Span and SpanData, which means that base values never cause interning. The number of bits needed for base depends on the crate size. 32 bits allows up to 4 GiB of code in a crate.
• len is 15 bits in Span (a u16, minus 1 bit for the tag) and 32 bits in SpanData, which means that large len values will cause interning. The number of bits needed for len does not depend on the crate size. The most common numbers of bits for len are from 0 to 7, with a peak usually at 3 or 4, and then it drops off quickly from 8 onwards. 15 bits is enough for 99.99%+ of cases, but larger values (sometimes 20+ bits) might occur dozens of times in a typical crate.
• ctxt is 16 bits in Span and 32 bits in SpanData, which means that large ctxt values will cause interning. The number of bits needed for ctxt values depend partly on the crate size and partly on the form of the code. No crates in rustc-perf need more than 15 bits for ctxt, but larger crates might need more than 16 bits.

Implementations

impl Span

pub fn fresh_expansion(self, expn_data: ExpnData) -> Span

Creates a fresh expansion with given properties. Expansions are normally created by macros, but in some cases expansions are created for other compiler-generated code to set per-span properties like allowed unstable features. The returned span belongs to the created expansion and has the new properties, but its location is inherited from the current span.

pub fn fresh_expansion_with_transparency(
    self,
    expn_data: ExpnData,
    transparency: Transparency
) -> Span

pub fn mark_with_reason(
    self,
    allow_internal_unstable: Option<Lrc<[Symbol]>>,
    reason: DesugaringKind,
    edition: Edition
) -> Span

Reuses the span but adds information like the kind of the desugaring and features that are allowed inside this span.

pub fn from_expansion(self) -> bool

Returns true if this span comes from a macro or desugaring.

pub fn in_derive_expansion(self) -> bool

Returns true if span originates in a derive-macro's expansion.

pub fn with_root_ctxt(lo: BytePos, hi: BytePos) -> Span

pub fn shrink_to_lo(self) -> Span

Returns a new span representing an empty span at the beginning of this span.

pub fn shrink_to_hi(self) -> Span

Returns a new span representing an empty span at the end of this span.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

pub fn overlaps(self, other: Span) -> bool

Returns true if self touches other.

pub fn source_equal(&self, other: &Span) -> bool

Returns true if the spans are equal with regards to the source text.

Use this instead of == when either span could be generated code, and you only care that they point to the same bytes of source text.

pub fn trim_start(self, other: Span) -> Option<Span>

Returns Some(span), where the start is trimmed by the end of other.

pub fn source_callsite(self) -> Span

Returns the source span -- this is either the supplied span, or the span for the macro callsite that expanded to it.

pub fn parent(self) -> Option<Span>

The Span for the tokens in the previous macro expansion from which self was generated, if any.

pub fn edition(self) -> Edition

Edition of the crate from which this span came.

pub fn rust_2021(&self) -> bool

pub fn source_callee(self) -> Option<ExpnData>

Returns the source callee.

Returns None if the supplied span has no expansion trace, else returns the ExpnData for the macro definition corresponding to the source callsite.

pub fn allows_unstable(&self, feature: Symbol) -> bool

Checks if a span is "internal" to a macro in which #[unstable] items can be used (that is, a macro marked with #[allow_internal_unstable]).

pub fn is_desugaring(&self, kind: DesugaringKind) -> bool

Checks if this span arises from a compiler desugaring of kind kind.

pub fn desugaring_kind(&self) -> Option<DesugaringKind>

Returns the compiler desugaring that created this span, or None if this span is not from a desugaring.

pub fn allows_unsafe(&self) -> bool

Checks if a span is "internal" to a macro in which unsafe can be used without triggering the unsafe_code lint.

pub fn macro_backtrace(self) -> impl Iterator<Item = ExpnData>

pub fn to(self, end: Span) -> Span

Returns a Span that would enclose both self and end.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

pub fn between(self, end: Span) -> Span

Returns a Span between the end of self to the beginning of end.

    self lorem ipsum end
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Returns a Span from the beginning of self until the beginning of end.

    self,
    expn_id: ExpnId,
    transparency: Transparency
) -> Span

Produces a span with the same location as self and context produced by a macro with the given ID and transparency, assuming that macro was defined directly and not produced by some other macro (which is the case for built-in and procedural macros).

    H: Hasher,

impl<CTX> HashStable<CTX> for Span where
    CTX: HashStableContext, 

fn hash_stable(&self, ctx: &mut CTX, hasher: &mut StableHasher)

Hashes a span in a stable way. We can't directly hash the span's BytePos fields (that would be similar to hashing pointers, since those are just offsets into the SourceMap). Instead, we hash the (file name, line, column) triple, which stays the same even if the containing SourceFile has moved within the SourceMap.

Also note that we are hashing byte offsets for the column, not unicode codepoint offsets. For the purpose of the hash that's sufficient. Also, hashing filenames is expensive so we avoid doing it twice when the span starts and ends in the same file, which is almost always the case.
