Struct Literal

pub struct Literal(/* private fields */);

A literal string ("hello"), byte string (b"hello"), C string (c"hello"), character ('a'), byte character (b'a'), an integer or floating point number with or without a suffix (1, 1u8, 2.3, 2.3f32). Boolean literals like true and false do not belong here, they are Idents.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (proc_macro_span #54725)

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Literal

fn clone(&self) -> Literal

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Literal

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Literal

Prints the literal as a string that should be losslessly convertible back into the same literal (except for possible rounding for floating point literals).

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<Literal> for TokenTree

fn from(g: Literal) -> TokenTree

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl FromStr for Literal

Parse a single literal from its stringified representation.

In order to parse successfully, the input string must not contain anything but the literal token. Specifically, it must not contain whitespace or comments in addition to the literal.

The resulting literal token will have a Span::call_site() span.

NOTE: some errors may cause panics instead of returning LexError. We reserve the right to change these errors into LexErrors later.

type Err = LexError

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

fn from_str(src: &str) -> Result<Self, LexError>

Parses a string s to return a value of this type.
