Search Results for "derive"

This is a Rust crate that provides a convenient derive macro (#[derive(Error)]) for implementing std::error::Error on your custom error types (structs or enums). The goal is to enable library authors to build expressive, typed error types, with readable Display implementations (via #[error("...")] annotations) as well as From conversions (#[from]), source tracking (#[source]), and optionally backtraces.

This is a workshop/repository by the Rust developer David Tolnay (dtolnay) intended to teach how to write Rust procedural macros (derive macros, function-like macros, attribute macros). The repo contains multiple toy/realistic macro projects drawn from real use-cases: e.g., derive(Builder), derive(CustomDebug), seq!, #[sorted], #[bitfield]. The README indicates the focus is on learning: parsing token streams, generating code, handling generics, attribute arguments, etc. ...

Parser for Rust source code is a major Rust crate for parsing Rust source code (token streams) into a syntax tree (AST) that procedural macros can inspect or transform. The primary target is macro authors: you can parse TokenStreams into syn::File, syn::Item, syn::Expr, syn::Type, etc. It offers rich data structures, fine-grained parsing, span tracking (for error reporting), traversal and mutation APIs (visit, fold, visit_mut), printing back to tokens, and strong feature-gating so you only...
