Struct Literal

pub struct Literal { /* private fields */ }

A literal string ("hello"), byte string (b"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.

pub fn f64_unsuffixed(f: f64) -> Literal

Creates a new unsuffixed floating-point literal.

This constructor is similar to those like Literal::i8_unsuffixed where the float’s value is emitted directly into the token but no suffix is used, so it may be inferred to be a f64 later in the compiler.

Panics

This function requires that the specified float is finite, for example if it is infinity or NaN this function will panic.

Creates a new suffixed floating-point literal.

This constructor will create a literal like 1.0f64 where the value specified is the preceding part of the token and f64 is the suffix of the token. This token will always be inferred to be an f64 in the compiler. Literals created from negative numbers may not survive round-trips through TokenStream or strings and may be broken into two tokens (- and positive literal).

Panics

This function requires that the specified float is finite, for example if it is infinity or NaN this function will panic.

pub fn span(&self) -> Span

Returns the span encompassing this literal.

pub fn set_span(&mut self, span: Span)

Configures the span associated for this literal.

pub fn subspan<R>(&self, range: R) -> Option<Span>

where R: RangeBounds<usize>,

Returns a Span that is a subset of self.span() containing only the source bytes in range range. Returns None if the would-be trimmed span is outside the bounds of self.

Warning: the underlying proc_macro::Literal::subspan method is nightly-only. When called from within a procedural macro not using a nightly compiler, this method will always return None.
