Expand description

A syntax-level representation of an attribute.

## Fields§

§`kind: AttrKind`§`id: AttrId`§`style: AttrStyle`

Denotes if the attribute decorates the following construct (outer) or the construct this attribute is contained within (inner).

§`span: Span`

## Implementations§

Source§

### impl Attribute

Source

#### pub fn get_normal_item(&self) -> &AttrItem

Source

#### pub fn replace_args(&mut self, new_args: AttrItemKind)

Replaces the arguments of this attribute with new arguments `AttrItemKind`. This is useful for making this attribute into a trace attribute, and should otherwise be avoided.

## Trait Implementations§

Source§

### impl AttributeExt for Attribute

Source§

#### fn is_doc_comment(&self) -> Option<Span>

Returns `true` if it is a sugared doc comment (`///` or `//!` for example). So `#[doc = "doc"]` (which is a doc comment) and `#[doc(...)]` (which is not a doc comment) will return `false`.

Source§

#### fn name(&self) -> Option<Symbol>

For a single-segment attribute, returns its name; otherwise, returns `None`.

Source§

#### fn meta_item_list(&self) -> Option<ThinVec<MetaItemInner>>

Returns a list of meta items if the attribute is delimited with parenthesis:

    #[attr(a, b = "c")] // Returns `Some()`.
    #[attr = ""] // Returns `None`.
    #[attr] // Returns `None`.

Source§

#### fn value_str(&self) -> Option<Symbol>

Returns the string value in:

    #[attribute = "value"]
                  ^^^^^^^

It returns `None` in any other cases, including doc comments if they are not under the form `#[doc = "..."]`.

It also returns `None` for:

    #[attr("value")]

Source§

#### fn doc_str_and_fragment_kind(&self) -> Option<(Symbol, DocFragmentKind)>

Returns the documentation and its kind if this is a doc comment or a sugared doc comment.

- `///doc` returns `Some(("doc", DocFragmentKind::Sugared(CommentKind::Line)))`.
- `/** doc */` returns `Some(("doc", DocFragmentKind::Sugared(CommentKind::Block)))`.
- `#[doc = "doc"]` returns `Some(("doc", DocFragmentKind::Raw))`.
- `#[doc(...)]` returns `None`.

Source§

#### fn doc_str(&self) -> Option<Symbol>

Returns the documentation if this is a doc comment or a sugared doc comment.

- `///doc` returns `Some("doc")`.
- `#[doc = "doc"]` returns `Some("doc")`.
- `#[doc(...)]` returns `None`.

Source§

## 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.
