Expand description

Generate escape functions from a token stream template

This function takes a token stream representing character mappings and generates the corresponding escape function implementations. It returns both the generated code and metadata about the escape mappings.

§Arguments

  • tokens - A token stream containing the character mappings in the format new!(char -> "escape", ...)
  • crate_name - The name of the crate where the generated code will be used

§Returns

Returns a tuple containing:

  • The generated code as a TokenStream
  • A tuple of (escapes, escaped) where escapes is a string of characters to escape and escaped is the concatenated escape sequences

§Errors

Returns a syn::Error if the token stream cannot be parsed or if the character mappings are invalid.
