1//! # proc-macro-error
2//!
3//! This crate aims to make error reporting in proc-macros simple and easy to use.
4//! Migrate from `panic!`-based errors for as little effort as possible!
5//!
6//! (Also, you can explicitly [append a dummy token stream](dummy/index.html) to your errors).
7//!
8//! To achieve his, this crate serves as a tiny shim around `proc_macro::Diagnostic` and
9//! `compile_error!`. It detects the best way of emitting available based on compiler's version.
10//! When the underlying diagnostic type is finally stabilized, this crate will simply be
11//! delegating to it requiring no changes in your code!
12//!
13//! So you can just use this crate and have *both* some of `proc_macro::Diagnostic` functionality
14//! available on stable ahead of time *and* your error-reporting code future-proof.
15//!
16//! ## Cargo features
17//!
18//! This crate provides *enabled by default* `syn-error` feature that gates
19//! `impl From<syn::Error> for Diagnostic` conversion. If you don't use `syn` and want
20//! to cut off some of compilation time, you can disable it via
21//!
22//! ```toml
23//! [dependencies]
24//! proc-macro-error = { version = "1", default-features = false }
25//! ```
26//!
27//! ***Please note that disabling this feature makes sense only if you don't depend on `syn`
28//! directly or indirectly, and you very likely do.**
29//!
30//! ## Real world examples
31//!
32//! * [`structopt-derive`](https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/tree/master/structopt-derive)
33//! (abort-like usage)
34//! * [`auto-impl`](https://github.com/auto-impl-rs/auto_impl/) (emit-like usage)
35//!
36//! ## Limitations
37//!
38//! - Warnings are emitted only on nightly, they are ignored on stable.
39//! - "help" suggestions can't have their own span info on stable,
40//! (essentially inheriting the parent span).
41//! - If a panic occurs somewhere in your macro no errors will be displayed. This is not a
42//! technical limitation but rather intentional design. `panic` is not for error reporting.
43//!
44//! ### `#[proc_macro_error]` attribute
45//!
46//! **This attribute MUST be present on the top level of your macro** (the function
47//! annotated with any of `#[proc_macro]`, `#[proc_macro_derive]`, `#[proc_macro_attribute]`).
48//!
49//! This attribute performs the setup and cleanup necessary to make things work.
50//!
51//! In most cases you'll need the simple `#[proc_macro_error]` form without any
52//! additional settings. Feel free to [skip the "Syntax" section](#macros).
53//!
54//! #### Syntax
55//!
56//! `#[proc_macro_error]` or `#[proc_macro_error(settings...)]`, where `settings...`
57//! is a comma-separated list of:
58//!
59//! - `proc_macro_hack`:
60//!
61//! In order to correctly cooperate with `#[proc_macro_hack]`, `#[proc_macro_error]`
62//! attribute must be placed *before* (above) it, like this:
63//!
64//! ```no_run
65//! # use proc_macro2::TokenStream;
66//! # const IGNORE: &str = "
67//! #[proc_macro_error]
68//! #[proc_macro_hack]
69//! #[proc_macro]
70//! # ";
71//! fn my_macro(input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream {
72//! unimplemented!()
73//! }
74//! ```
75//!
76//! If, for some reason, you can't place it like that you can use
77//! `#[proc_macro_error(proc_macro_hack)]` instead.
78//!
79//! # Note
80//!
81//! If `proc-macro-hack` was detected (by any means) `allow_not_macro`
82//! and `assert_unwind_safe` will be applied automatically.
83//!
84//! - `allow_not_macro`:
85//!
86//! By default, the attribute checks that it's applied to a proc-macro.
87//! If none of `#[proc_macro]`, `#[proc_macro_derive]` nor `#[proc_macro_attribute]` are
88//! present it will panic. It's the intention - this crate is supposed to be used only with
89//! proc-macros.
90//!
91//! This setting is made to bypass the check, useful in certain circumstances.
92//!
93//! Pay attention: the function this attribute is applied to must return
94//! `proc_macro::TokenStream`.
95//!
96//! This setting is implied if `proc-macro-hack` was detected.
97//!
98//! - `assert_unwind_safe`:
99//!
100//! By default, your code must be [unwind safe]. If your code is not unwind safe,
101//! but you believe it's correct, you can use this setting to bypass the check.
102//! You would need this for code that uses `lazy_static` or `thread_local` with
103//! `Cell/RefCell` inside (and the like).
104//!
105//! This setting is implied if `#[proc_macro_error]` is applied to a function
106//! marked as `#[proc_macro]`, `#[proc_macro_derive]` or `#[proc_macro_attribute]`.
107//!
108//! This setting is also implied if `proc-macro-hack` was detected.
109//!
110//! ## Macros
111//!
112//! Most of the time you want to use the macros. Syntax is described in the next section below.
113//!
114//! You'll need to decide how you want to emit errors:
115//!
116//! * Emit the error and abort. Very much panic-like usage. Served by [`abort!`] and
117//! [`abort_call_site!`].
118//! * Emit the error but do not abort right away, looking for other errors to report.
119//! Served by [`emit_error!`] and [`emit_call_site_error!`].
120//!
121//! You **can** mix these usages.
122//!
123//! `abort` and `emit_error` take a "source span" as the first argument. This source
124//! will be used to highlight the place the error originates from. It must be one of:
125//!
126//! * *Something* that implements [`ToTokens`] (most types in `syn` and `proc-macro2` do).
127//! This source is the preferable one since it doesn't lose span information on multi-token
128//! spans, see [this issue](https://gitlab.com/CreepySkeleton/proc-macro-error/-/issues/6)
129//! for details.
130//! * [`proc_macro::Span`]
131//! * [`proc-macro2::Span`]
132//!
133//! The rest is your message in format-like style.
134//!
135//! See [the next section](#syntax-1) for detailed syntax.
136//!
137//! - [`abort!`]:
138//!
139//! Very much panic-like usage - abort right away and show the error.
140//! Expands to [`!`] (never type).
141//!
142//! - [`abort_call_site!`]:
143//!
144//! Shortcut for `abort!(Span::call_site(), ...)`. Expands to [`!`] (never type).
145//!
146//! - [`emit_error!`]:
147//!
148//! [`proc_macro::Diagnostic`]-like usage - emit the error but keep going,
149//! looking for other errors to report.
150//! The compilation will fail nonetheless. Expands to [`()`] (unit type).
151//!
152//! - [`emit_call_site_error!`]:
153//!
154//! Shortcut for `emit_error!(Span::call_site(), ...)`. Expands to [`()`] (unit type).
155//!
156//! - [`emit_warning!`]:
157//!
158//! Like `emit_error!` but emit a warning instead of error. The compilation won't fail
159//! because of warnings.
160//! Expands to [`()`] (unit type).
161//!
162//! **Beware**: warnings are nightly only, they are completely ignored on stable.
163//!
164//! - [`emit_call_site_warning!`]:
165//!
166//! Shortcut for `emit_warning!(Span::call_site(), ...)`. Expands to [`()`] (unit type).
167//!
168//! - [`diagnostic`]:
169//!
170//! Build an instance of `Diagnostic` in format-like style.
171//!
172//! #### Syntax
173//!
174//! All the macros have pretty much the same syntax:
175//!
176//! 1. ```ignore
177//! abort!(single_expr)
178//! ```
179//! Shortcut for `Diagnostic::from(expr).abort()`.
180//!
181//! 2. ```ignore
182//! abort!(span, message)
183//! ```
184//! The first argument is an expression the span info should be taken from.
185//!
186//! The second argument is the error message, it must implement [`ToString`].
187//!
188//! 3. ```ignore
189//! abort!(span, format_literal, format_args...)
190//! ```
191//!
192//! This form is pretty much the same as 2, except `format!(format_literal, format_args...)`
193//! will be used to for the message instead of [`ToString`].
194//!
195//! That's it. `abort!`, `emit_warning`, `emit_error` share this exact syntax.
196//!
197//! `abort_call_site!`, `emit_call_site_warning`, `emit_call_site_error` lack 1 form
198//! and do not take span in 2'th and 3'th forms. Those are essentially shortcuts for
199//! `macro!(Span::call_site(), args...)`.
200//!
201//! `diagnostic!` requires a [`Level`] instance between `span` and second argument
202//! (1'th form is the same).
203//!
204//! > **Important!**
205//! >
206//! > If you have some type from `proc_macro` or `syn` to point to, do not call `.span()`
207//! > on it but rather use it directly:
208//! > ```no_run
209//! > # use proc_macro_error::abort;
210//! > # let input = proc_macro2::TokenStream::new();
211//! > let ty: syn::Type = syn::parse2(input).unwrap();
212//! > abort!(ty, "BOOM");
213//! > // ^^ <-- avoid .span()
214//! > ```
215//! >
216//! > `.span()` calls work too, but you may experience regressions in message quality.
217//!
218//! #### Note attachments
219//!
220//! 3. Every macro can have "note" attachments (only 2 and 3 form).
221//! ```ignore
222//! let opt_help = if have_some_info { Some("did you mean `this`?") } else { None };
223//!
224//! abort!(
225//! span, message; // <--- attachments start with `;` (semicolon)
226//!
227//! help = "format {} {}", "arg1", "arg2"; // <--- every attachment ends with `;`,
228//! // maybe except the last one
229//!
230//! note = "to_string"; // <--- one arg uses `.to_string()` instead of `format!()`
231//!
232//! yay = "I see what {} did here", "you"; // <--- "help =" and "hint =" are mapped
233//! // to Diagnostic::help,
234//! // anything else is Diagnostic::note
235//!
236//! wow = note_span => "custom span"; // <--- attachments can have their own span
237//! // it takes effect only on nightly though
238//!
239//! hint =? opt_help; // <-- "optional" attachment, get displayed only if `Some`
240//! // must be single `Option` expression
241//!
242//! note =? note_span => opt_help // <-- optional attachments can have custom spans too
243//! );
244//! ```
245//!
246
247//! ### Diagnostic type
248//!
249//! [`Diagnostic`] type is intentionally designed to be API compatible with [`proc_macro::Diagnostic`].
250//! Not all API is implemented, only the part that can be reasonably implemented on stable.
