Module tokenstream

Token Streams

TokenStreams represent syntactic objects before they are converted into ASTs. A TokenStream is, roughly speaking, a sequence of TokenTrees, which are themselves a single Token or a Delimited subsequence of tokens.

Ownership

TokenStreams are persistent data structures constructed as ropes with reference counted-children. In general, this means that calling an operation on a TokenStream (such as slice) produces an entirely new TokenStream from the borrowed reference to the original. This essentially coerces TokenStreams into “views” of their subparts, and a borrowed TokenStream is sufficient to build an owned TokenStream without taking ownership of the original.

Structs

AttrTokenStream

An AttrTokenStream is similar to a TokenStream, but with extra information about the tokens for attribute targets. This is used during expansion to perform early cfg-expansion, and to process attributes during proc-macro invocations.

AttrsTarget

Stores the tokens for an attribute target, along with its attributes.

DelimSpacing

DelimSpan

LazyAttrTokenStream

A lazy version of TokenStream, which defers creation of an actual TokenStream until it is needed. Box is here only to reduce the structure size.

TokenStream

A TokenStream is an abstract sequence of tokens, organized into TokenTrees.

TokenStreamIter

Enums

AttrTokenTree

Like TokenTree, but for AttrTokenStream.

Spacing

Indicates whether a token can join with the following token to form a compound token. Used for conversions to proc_macro::Spacing. Also used to guide pretty-printing, which is where the JointHidden value (which isn’t part of proc_macro::Spacing) comes in useful.

TokenTree

Part of a TokenStream.
