Struct stack_graphs::graph::Symbol

#[repr(C)]
pub struct Symbol { /* fields omitted */ }

A name that we are trying to resolve using stack graphs.

This typically represents a portion of an identifier as it appears in the source language. It can also represent some other “operation” that can occur in source code, and which needs to be modeled in a stack graph — for instance, many languages will use a “fake” symbol named . to represent member access.

We deduplicate Symbol instances in a StackGraph — that is, we ensure that there are never multiple Symbol instances with the same content. That means that you can compare handles to symbols using simple equality, without having to dereference into the StackGraph arena.

Trait Implementations

impl PartialEq<&'_ str> for Symbol

fn eq(&self, other: &&str) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=.
