Struct Highlighter 

pub struct Highlighter {
    prev_was_special: bool,
    len_accum: usize,
}

A syntax highlighter for Rust code It is used by the rustc --explain command.

Fields

prev_was_special: bool

Used to track if the previous token was a token that warrants the next token to be colored differently

For example, the keyword fn requires the next token (the function name) to be colored differently.

len_accum: usize

Used to track the length of tokens that have been written so far. This is used to find the original lexeme for a token from the code string.

pub fn new() -> Self

pub fn highlight_rustc_lexer( &mut self, code: &str, buf: &mut Vec<u8>, ) -> Result<()>

Layout

Note: Most layout information is completely unstable and may even differ between compilations. The only exception is types with certain repr(...) attributes. Please see the Rust Reference's “Type Layout” chapter for details on type layout guarantees.
