Expand description
A Rust expression.
This type is available only if Syn is built with the "derive"
or "full"
feature, but most of the variants are not available unless “full” is enabled.
Syntax tree enums
This type is a syntax tree enum. In Syn this and other syntax tree enums are designed to be traversed using the following rebinding idiom.
let expr: Expr = /* ... */;
match expr {
Expr::MethodCall(expr) => {
/* ... */
}
Expr::Cast(expr) => {
/* ... */
}
Expr::If(expr) => {
/* ... */
}
/* ... */
We begin with a variable expr
of type Expr
that has no fields
(because it is an enum), and by matching on it and rebinding a variable
with the same name expr
we effectively imbue our variable with all of
the data fields provided by the variant that it turned out to be. So for
example above if we ended up in the MethodCall
case then we get to use
expr.receiver
, expr.args
etc; if we ended up in the If
case we get
to use expr.cond
, expr.then_branch
, expr.else_branch
.
This approach avoids repeating the variant names twice on every line.
// Repetitive; recommend not doing this.
match expr {
Expr::MethodCall(ExprMethodCall { method, args, .. }) => {
In general, the name to which a syntax tree enum variant is bound should be a suitable name for the complete syntax tree enum type.
// Binding is called `base` which is the name I would use if I were
// assigning `*discriminant.base` without an `if let`.
if let Expr::Tuple(base) = *discriminant.base {
A sign that you may not be choosing the right variable names is if you
see names getting repeated in your code, like accessing
receiver.receiver
or pat.pat
or cond.cond
.

Implementations
sourceimpl Expr
impl Expr
sourcepub fn parse_without_eager_brace(input: ParseStream<'_>) -> Result<Expr>
pub fn parse_without_eager_brace(input: ParseStream<'_>) -> Result<Expr>
An alternative to the primary Expr::parse
parser (from the
Parse
trait) for ambiguous syntactic positions in which a
trailing brace should not be taken as part of the expression.
Rust grammar has an ambiguity where braces sometimes turn a path
expression into a struct initialization and sometimes do not. In the
following code, the expression S {}
is one expression. Presumably
there is an empty struct struct S {}
defined somewhere which it is
instantiating.
let _ = *S {};
// parsed by rustc as: `*(S {})`
We would want to parse the above using Expr::parse
after the =
token.
But in the following, S {}
is not a struct init expression.
if *S {} {}
// parsed by rustc as:
//
// if (*S) {
// /* empty block */
// }
// {
// /* another empty block */
// }
For that reason we would want to parse if-conditions using
Expr::parse_without_eager_brace
after the if
token. Same for
similar syntactic positions such as the condition expr after a
while
token or the expr at the top of a match
.
The Rust grammar’s choices around which way this ambiguity is resolved at various syntactic positions is fairly arbitrary. Really either parse behavior could work in most positions, and language designers just decide each case based on which is more likely to be what the programmer had in mind most of the time.
if return S {} {}
// parsed by rustc as:
//
// if (return (S {})) {
// }
//
// but could equally well have been this other arbitrary choice:
//
// if (return S) {
// }
// {}
Note the grammar ambiguity on trailing braces is distinct from
precedence and is not captured by assigning a precedence level to
the braced struct init expr in relation to other operators. This can
be illustrated by return 0..S {}
vs match 0..S {}
. The former
parses as return (0..(S {}))
implying tighter precedence for
struct init than ..
, while the latter parses as match (0..S) {}
implying tighter precedence for ..
than struct init, a
contradiction.
