Crate proc_macro1.15.0 [] [src]

A support library for macro authors when defining new macros.

This library, provided by the standard distribution, provides the types consumed in the interfaces of procedurally defined macro definitions. Currently the primary use of this crate is to provide the ability to define new custom derive modes through #[proc_macro_derive].

Note that this crate is intentionally very bare-bones currently. The main type, TokenStream, only supports fmt::Display and FromStr implementations, indicating that it can only go to and come from a string. This functionality is intended to be expanded over time as more surface area for macro authors is stabilized.

See the book for more.
