proc-macro2

A small shim over the proc_macro crate in the compiler intended to multiplex the stable interface as of 1.15.0 and the interface as of 1.30.0.

New features added in Rust 1.30.0 include:

• Span information on tokens
• No need to go in/out through strings
• Structured input/output

Libraries ported to proc_macro2 can retain support for older compilers while continuing to get all the nice benefits of using a 1.30.0+ compiler.

Usage

This crate compiles on all 1.15.0+ stable compilers and usage looks like:

toml [dependencies] proc-macro2 = "0.4"

followed by

```rust extern crate procmacro; extern crate procmacro2;

[procmacroderive(MyDerive)]

pub fn myderive(input: procmacro::TokenStream) -> procmacro::TokenStream { let input: procmacro2::TokenStream = input.into();

let output: proc_macro2::TokenStream = {
    /* transform input */
};

output.into()

} ```

The 1.30.0 compiler is automatically detected and its interfaces are used when available.

Unstable Features

proc-macro2 supports exporting some methods from proc_macro which are currently highly unstable, and are not stabilized in the first pass of proc_macro stabilizations. These features are not exported by default. Minor versions of proc-macro2 may make breaking changes to them at any time.

To enable these features, the procmacro2_semver_exempt config flag must be passed to rustc.

RUSTFLAGS='--cfg procmacro2_semver_exempt' cargo build

Note that this must not only be done for your crate, but for any crate that depends on your crate. This infectious nature is intentional, as it serves as a reminder that you are outside of the normal semver guarantees.
