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.

impl Macro

source

pub fn parse_body<T: Parse>(&self) -> Result<T>

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)

        format_string = input.parse()?;
