Struct syn::Macro

source · []
pub struct Macro {
    pub path: Path,
    pub bang_token: Bang,
    pub delimiter: MacroDelimiter,
    pub tokens: TokenStream,
}
Expand description

A macro invocation: println!("{}", mac).

This type is available only if Syn is built with the "derive" or "full" feature.

Fields

path: Pathbang_token: Bangdelimiter: MacroDelimitertokens: TokenStream

Implementations

Parse the tokens within the macro invocation’s delimiters into a syntax tree.

This is equivalent to syn::parse2::<T>(mac.tokens) except that it produces a more useful span when tokens is empty.

Example
use syn::{parse_quote, Expr, ExprLit, Ident, Lit, LitStr, Macro, Token};
use syn::ext::IdentExt;
use syn::parse::{Error, Parse, ParseStream, Result};
use syn::punctuated::Punctuated;

// The arguments expected by libcore's format_args macro, and as a
// result most other formatting and printing macros like println.
//
//     println!("{} is {number:.prec$}", "x", prec=5, number=0.01)
struct FormatArgs {
    format_string: Expr,
    positional_args: Vec<Expr>,
    named_args: Vec<(Ident, Expr)>,
}

impl Parse for FormatArgs {
    fn parse(input: ParseStream) -> Result<Self> {
        let format_string: Expr;
        let mut positional_args = Vec::new();
        let mut named_args = Vec::new();

        format_string = input.parse()?;
        while !input.is_empty() {
            input.parse::<Token![,]>()?;
            if input.is_empty() {
                break;
            }
            if input.peek(Ident::peek_any) && input.peek2(Token![=]) {
                while !input.is_empty() {
                    let name: Ident = input.call(Ident::parse_any)?;
                    input.parse::<Token![=]>()?;

                    input.parse::<Token![,]>()?;
                }
                break;

            positional_args,
            named_args,
        })
    }
}

// Extract the first argument, the format string literal, from an
// invocation of a formatting or printing macro.
fn get_format_string(m: &Macro) -> Result<LitStr> {
    let args: FormatArgs = m.parse_body()?;
    match args.format_string {
        Expr::Lit(ExprLit { lit: Lit::Str(lit), .. }) => Ok(lit),
        other => {
            // First argument was not a string literal expression.
            // Maybe something like: println!(concat!(...), ...)
            Err(Error::new_spanned(other, "format string must be a string literal"))
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    let invocation = parse_quote! {
        println!("{:?}", Instant::now())
    };
