Enum syntax::tokenstream::TokenTree

pub enum TokenTree {
    Token(Span, Token),
    Delimited(Span, Delimited),
}

When the main rust parser encounters a syntax-extension invocation, it parses the arguments to the invocation as a token-tree. This is a very loose structure, such that all sorts of different AST-fragments can be passed to syntax extensions using a uniform type.

If the syntax extension is an MBE macro, it will attempt to match its LHS token tree against the provided token tree, and if it finds a match, will transcribe the RHS token tree, splicing in any captured macro_parser::matched_nonterminals into the SubstNts it finds.

The RHS of an MBE macro is the only place SubstNts are substituted. Nothing special happens to misnamed or misplaced SubstNts.

Variants

Token(Span, Token)

A single token

Delimited(Span, Delimited)

A delimited sequence of token trees

Methods

impl TokenTree

pub fn parse(     cx: &ExtCtxt,     mtch: &[TokenTree],     tts: TokenStream ) -> NamedParseResult

Use this token tree as a matcher to parse given tts.

pub fn eq_unspanned(&self, other: &TokenTree) -> bool

Check if this TokenTree is equal to the other, regardless of span information.

pub fn probably_equal_for_proc_macro(&self, other: &TokenTree) -> bool

pub fn span(&self) -> Span

Retrieve the TokenTree's span.

pub fn set_span(&mut self, span: Span)

Modify the TokenTree's span inplace.

pub fn eq_token(&self, t: Token) -> bool

Indicates if the stream is a token that is equal to the provided token.

pub fn joint(self) -> TokenStream
