1.29.0[][src]Struct proc_macro::Ident

pub struct Ident(_);

An identifier (ident).

Methods

impl Ident[src]

pub fn new(string: &str, span: Span) -> Ident[src]

Creates a new Ident with the given string as well as the specified span. The string argument must be a valid identifier permitted by the language, otherwise the function will panic.

Note that span, currently in rustc, configures the hygiene information for this identifier.

As of this time Span::call_site() explicitly opts-in to "call-site" hygiene meaning that identifiers created with this span will be resolved as if they were written directly at the location of the macro call, and other code at the macro call site will be able to refer to them as well.

Later spans like Span::def_site() will allow to opt-in to "definition-site" hygiene meaning that identifiers created with this span will be resolved at the location of the macro definition and other code at the macro call site will not be able to refer to them.

Due to the current importance of hygiene this constructor, unlike other tokens, requires a Span to be specified at construction.

pub fn new_raw(string: &str, span: Span) -> Ident[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (proc_macro_raw_ident #54723)

Same as Ident::new, but creates a raw identifier (r#ident).

pub fn span(&self) -> Span[src]

Returns the span of this Ident, encompassing the entire string returned by as_str.

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

Configures the span of this Ident, possibly changing its hygiene context.
