Crate rustc_span
source ·Expand description
Source positions and related helper functions.
Important concepts in this module include:
- the span, represented by
SpanData
and related types; - source code as represented by a
SourceMap
; and - interned strings, represented by
Symbol
s, with some common symbols available statically in thesym
module.
Unlike most compilers, the span contains not only the position in the source code, but also various other metadata,
such as the edition and macro hygiene. This metadata is stored in SyntaxContext
and ExpnData
.
Note
This API is completely unstable and subject to change.

Modules
- Edit distances.
- Machinery for hygienic macros.
- Types for tracking pieces of source code within a crate.
- An “interner” is a data structure that associates values with usize tags and allows bidirectional lookup; i.e., given a value, one can easily find the type, and vice versa.
Macros
- impl_pos 🔒
Structs
- A byte offset.
- A character offset.
- Useful type to use with
Result<>
indicate that an error has already been reported to the user, so no need to continue checking. - Range inside of a
Span
used for diagnostics when we only have access to relative positions. - A source code location used for error reporting.
- Identifies an offset of a multi-byte character in a
SourceFile
. - Identifies an offset of a character that was normalized away from
SourceFile
. - A byte offset relative to file beginning.
- Per-session global variables: this struct is stored in thread-local storage in such a way that it is accessible without any kind of handle to all threads within the compilation session, but is not accessible outside the session.
- A single source in the
SourceMap
. - The source file lines in difference list form. This matches the form used within metadata, which saves space by exploiting the fact that the lines list is sorted and individual lines are usually not that long.
- The hash of the on-disk source file used for debug info.
- A compressed span.
- Represents a span.
Enums
- The state of the lazy external source loading mechanism of a
SourceFile
. - Differentiates between real files and common virtual files.
- Identifies an offset of a non-narrow character in a
SourceFile
.
Constants
- The dummy span has zero position, length, and context, and no parent.
Statics
Traits
- Requirements for a
StableHashingContext
to be used in this crate.
Functions
- Replaces
\r\n
with\n
in-place insrc
. - Normalizes the source code and records the normalizations.
- Removes UTF-8 BOM, if any.
- Insert
source_map
into the session globals for the duration of the closure’s execution.
