Utilities for formatting and printing `String`s. +//! +//! This module contains the runtime support for the [`format!`] syntax extension. +//! This macro is implemented in the compiler to emit calls to this module in +//! order to format arguments at runtime into strings. +//! +//! # Usage +//! +//! The [`format!`] macro is intended to be familiar to those coming from C's +//! `printf`/`fprintf` functions or Python's `str.format` function. +//! +//! Some examples of the [`format!`] extension are: +//! +//! ``` +//! format!("Hello"); // => "Hello" +//! format!("Hello, {}!", "world"); // => "Hello, world!" +//! format!("The number is {}", 1); // => "The number is 1" +//! format!("{:?}", (3, 4)); // => "(3, 4)" +//! format!("{value}", value=4); // => "4" +//! let people = "Rustaceans"; +//! format!("Hello {people}!"); // => "Hello Rustaceans!" +//! format!("{} {}", 1, 2); // => "1 2" +//! format!("{:04}", 42); // => "0042" with leading zeros +//! format!("{:#?}", (100, 200)); // => "( +//! // 100, +//! // 200, +//! // )" +//! ``` +//! +//! From these, you can see that the first argument is a format string. It is +//! required by the compiler for this to be a string literal; it cannot be a +//! variable passed in (in order to perform validity checking). The compiler +//! will then parse the format string and determine if the list of arguments +//! provided is suitable to pass to this format string. +//! +//! To convert a single value to a string, use the [`to_string`] method. This +//! will use the [`Display`] formatting trait. +//! +//! ## Positional parameters +//! +//! Each formatting argument is allowed to specify which value argument it's +//! referencing, and if omitted it is assumed to be "the next argument". For +//! example, the format string `{} {} {}` would take three parameters, and they +//! would be formatted in the same order as they're given. The format string +//! `{2} {1} {0}`, however, would format arguments in reverse order. +//! +//! Things can get a little tricky once you start intermingling the two types of +//! positional specifiers. The "next argument" specifier can be thought of as an +//! iterator over the argument. Each time a "next argument" specifier is seen, +//! the iterator advances. This leads to behavior like this: +//! +//! ``` +//! format!("{1} {} {0} {}", 1, 2); // => "2 1 1 2" +//! ``` +//! +//! The internal iterator over the argument has not been advanced by the time +//! the first `{}` is seen, so it prints the first argument. Then upon reaching +//! the second `{}`, the iterator has advanced forward to the second argument. +//! Essentially, parameters that explicitly name their argument do not affect +//! parameters that do not name an argument in terms of positional specifiers. +//! +//! A format string is required to use all of its arguments, otherwise it is a +//! compile-time error. You may refer to the same argument more than once in the +//! format string. +//! +//! ## Named parameters +//! +//! Rust itself does not have a Python-like equivalent of named parameters to a +//! function, but the [`format!`] macro is a syntax extension that allows it to +//! leverage named parameters. Named parameters are listed at the end of the +//! argument list and have the syntax: +//! +//! ```text +//! identifier '=' expression +//! ``` +//! +//! For example, the following [`format!`] expressions all use named arguments: +//! +//! ``` +//! format!("{argument}", argument = "test"); // => "test" +//! format!("{name} {}", 1, name = 2); // => "2 1" +//! format!("{a} {c} {b}", a="a", b='b', c=3); // => "a 3 b" +//! ``` +//! +//! If a named parameter does not appear in the argument list, `format!` will +//! reference a variable with that name in the current scope. +//! +//! ``` +//! let argument = 2 + 2; +//! format!("{argument}"); // => "4" +//! +//! fn make_string(a: u32, b: &str) -> String { +//! format!("{b} {a}") +//! } +//! make_string(927, "label"); // => "label 927" +//! ``` +//! +//! It is not valid to put positional parameters (those without names) after +//! arguments that have names. Like with positional parameters, it is not +//! valid to provide named parameters that are unused by the format string. +//! +//! # Formatting Parameters +//! +//! Each argument being formatted can be transformed by a number of formatting +//! parameters (corresponding to `format_spec` in [the syntax](#syntax)). These +//! parameters affect the string representation of what's being formatted. +//! +//! ## Width +//! +//! ``` +//! // All of these print "Hello x !" +//! println!("Hello {:5}!", "x"); +//! println!("Hello {:1$}!", "x", 5); +//! println!("Hello {1:0$}!", 5, "x"); +//! println!("Hello {:width$}!", "x", width = 5); +//! let width = 5; +//! println!("Hello {:width$}!", "x"); +//! ``` +//! +//! This is a parameter for the "minimum width" that the format should take up. +//! If the value's string does not fill up this many characters, then the +//! padding specified by fill/alignment will be used to take up the required +//! space (see below). +//! +//! The value for the width can also be provided as a [`usize`] in the list of +//! parameters by adding a postfix `$`, indicating that the second argument is +//! a [`usize`] specifying the width. +//! +//! Referring to an argument with the dollar syntax does not affect the "next +//! argument" counter, so it's usually a good idea to refer to arguments by +//! position, or use named arguments. +//! +//! ## Fill/Alignment +//! +//! ``` +//! assert_eq!(format!("Hello {:<5}!", "x"), "Hello x !"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("Hello {:-<5}!", "x"), "Hello x----!"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("Hello {:^5}!", "x"), "Hello x !"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("Hello {:>5}!", "x"), "Hello x!"); +//! ``` +//! +//! The optional fill character and alignment is provided normally in conjunction with the +//! [`width`](#width) parameter. It must be defined before `width`, right after the `:`. +//! This indicates that if the value being formatted is smaller than +//! `width` some extra characters will be printed around it. +//! Filling comes in the following variants for different alignments: +//! +//! * `[fill]<` - the argument is left-aligned in `width` columns +//! * `[fill]^` - the argument is center-aligned in `width` columns +//! * `[fill]>` - the argument is right-aligned in `width` columns +//! +//! The default [fill/alignment](#fillalignment) for non-numerics is a space and +//! left-aligned. The +//! default for numeric formatters is also a space character but with right-alignment. If +//! the `0` flag (see below) is specified for numerics, then the implicit fill character is +//! `0`. +//! +//! Note that alignment might not be implemented by some types. In particular, it +//! is not generally implemented for the `Debug` trait. A good way to ensure +//! padding is applied is to format your input, then pad this resulting string +//! to obtain your output: +//! +//! ``` +//! println!("Hello {:^15}!", format!("{:?}", Some("hi"))); // => "Hello Some("hi") !" +//! ``` +//! +//! ## Sign/`#`/`0` +//! +//! ``` +//! assert_eq!(format!("Hello {:+}!", 5), "Hello +5!"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("{:#x}!", 27), "0x1b!"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("Hello {:05}!", 5), "Hello 00005!"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("Hello {:05}!", -5), "Hello -0005!"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("{:#010x}!", 27), "0x0000001b!"); +//! ``` +//! +//! These are all flags altering the behavior of the formatter. +//! +//! * `+` - This is intended for numeric types and indicates that the sign +//! should always be printed. Positive signs are never printed by +//! default, and the negative sign is only printed by default for signed values. +//! This flag indicates that the correct sign (`+` or `-`) should always be printed. +//! * `-` - Currently not used +//! * `#` - This flag indicates that the "alternate" form of printing should +//! be used. The alternate forms are: +//! * `#?` - pretty-print the [`Debug`] formatting (adds linebreaks and indentation) +//! * `#x` - precedes the argument with a `0x` +//! * `#X` - precedes the argument with a `0x` +//! * `#b` - precedes the argument with a `0b` +//! * `#o` - precedes the argument with a `0o` +//! * `0` - This is used to indicate for integer formats that the padding to `width` should +//! both be done with a `0` character as well as be sign-aware. A format +//! like `{:08}` would yield `00000001` for the integer `1`, while the +//! same format would yield `-0000001` for the integer `-1`. Notice that +//! the negative version has one fewer zero than the positive version. +//! Note that padding zeros are always placed after the sign (if any) +//! and before the digits. When used together with the `#` flag, a similar +//! rule applies: padding zeros are inserted after the prefix but before +//! the digits. The prefix is included in the total width. +//! +//! ## Precision +//! +//! For non-numeric types, this can be considered a "maximum width". If the resulting string is +//! longer than this width, then it is truncated down to this many characters and that truncated +//! value is emitted with proper `fill`, `alignment` and `width` if those parameters are set. +//! +//! For integral types, this is ignored. +//! +//! For floating-point types, this indicates how many digits after the decimal point should be +//! printed. +//! +//! There are three possible ways to specify the desired `precision`: +//! +//! 1. An integer `.N`: +//! +//! the integer `N` itself is the precision. +//! +//! 2. An integer or name followed by dollar sign `.N$`: +//! +//! use format *argument* `N` (which must be a `usize`) as the precision. +//! +//! 3. An asterisk `.*`: +//! +//! `.*` means that this `{...}` is associated with *two* format inputs rather than one: +//! - If a format string in the fashion of `{:<spec>.*}` is used, then the first input holds +//! the `usize` precision, and the second holds the value to print. +//! - If a format string in the fashion of `{<arg>:<spec>.*}` is used, then the `<arg>` part +//! refers to the value to print, and the `precision` is taken like it was specified with an +//! omitted positional parameter (`{}` instead of `{<arg>:}`). +//! +//! For example, the following calls all print the same thing `Hello x is 0.01000`: +//! +//! ``` +//! // Hello {arg 0 ("x")} is {arg 1 (0.01) with precision specified inline (5)} +//! println!("Hello {0} is {1:.5}", "x", 0.01); +//! +//! // Hello {arg 1 ("x")} is {arg 2 (0.01) with precision specified in arg 0 (5)} +//! println!("Hello {1} is {2:.0$}", 5, "x", 0.01); +//! +//! // Hello {arg 0 ("x")} is {arg 2 (0.01) with precision specified in arg 1 (5)} +//! println!("Hello {0} is {2:.1$}", "x", 5, 0.01); +//! +//! // Hello {next arg -> arg 0 ("x")} is {second of next two args -> arg 2 (0.01) with precision +//! // specified in first of next two args -> arg 1 (5)} +//! println!("Hello {} is {:.*}", "x", 5, 0.01); +//! +//! // Hello {arg 1 ("x")} is {arg 2 (0.01) with precision +//! // specified in next arg -> arg 0 (5)} +//! println!("Hello {1} is {2:.*}", 5, "x", 0.01); +//! +//! // Hello {next arg -> arg 0 ("x")} is {arg 2 (0.01) with precision +//! // specified in next arg -> arg 1 (5)} +//! println!("Hello {} is {2:.*}", "x", 5, 0.01); +//! +//! // Hello {next arg -> arg 0 ("x")} is {arg "number" (0.01) with precision specified +//! // in arg "prec" (5)} +//! println!("Hello {} is {number:.prec$}", "x", prec = 5, number = 0.01); +//! ``` +//! +//! While these: +//! +//! ``` +//! println!("{}, `{name:.*}` has 3 fractional digits", "Hello", 3, name=1234.56); +//! println!("{}, `{name:.*}` has 3 characters", "Hello", 3, name="1234.56"); +//! println!("{}, `{name:>8.*}` has 3 right-aligned characters", "Hello", 3, name="1234.56"); +//! ``` +//! +//! print three significantly different things: +//! +//! ```text +//! Hello, `1234.560` has 3 fractional digits +//! Hello, `123` has 3 characters +//! Hello, ` 123` has 3 right-aligned characters +//! ``` +//! +//! ## Localization +//! +//! In some programming languages, the behavior of string formatting functions +//! depends on the operating system's locale setting. The format functions +//! provided by Rust's standard library do not have any concept of locale and +//! will produce the same results on all systems regardless of user +//! configuration. +//! +//! For example, the following code will always print `1.5` even if the system +//! locale uses a decimal separator other than a dot. +//! +//! ``` +//! println!("The value is {}", 1.5); +//! ``` +//! +//! # Escaping +//! +//! The literal characters `{` and `}` may be included in a string by preceding +//! them with the same character. For example, the `{` character is escaped with +//! `{{` and the `}` character is escaped with `}}`. +//! +//! ``` +//! assert_eq!(format!("Hello {{}}"), "Hello {}"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("{{ Hello"), "{ Hello"); +//! ``` +//! +//! # Syntax +//! +//! To summarize, here you can find the full grammar of format strings. +//! The syntax for the formatting language used is drawn from other languages, +//! so it should not be too alien. Arguments are formatted with Python-like +//! syntax, meaning that arguments are surrounded by `{}` instead of the C-like +//! `%`. The actual grammar for the formatting syntax is: +//! +//! ```text +//! format_string := text [ maybe_format text ] * +//! maybe_format := '{' '{' | '}' '}' | format +//! format := '{' [ argument ] [ ':' format_spec ] [ ws ] * '}' +//! argument := integer | identifier +//! +//! format_spec := [[fill]align][sign]['#']['0'][width]['.' precision]type +//! fill := character +//! align := '<' | '^' | '>' +//! sign := '+' | '-' +//! width := count +//! precision := count | '*' +//! type := '' | '?' | 'x?' | 'X?' | identifier +//! count := parameter | integer +//! parameter := argument '$' +//! ``` +//! In the above grammar, +//! - `text` must not contain any `'{'` or `'}'` characters, +//! - `ws` is any character for which [`char::is_whitespace`] returns `true`, has no semantic +//! meaning and is completely optional, +//! - `integer` is a decimal integer that may contain leading zeroes and +//! - `identifier` is an `IDENTIFIER_OR_KEYWORD` (not an `IDENTIFIER`) as defined by the [Rust language reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/identifiers.html). +//! +//! # Formatting traits +//! +//! When requesting that an argument be formatted with a particular type, you +//! are actually requesting that an argument ascribes to a particular trait. +//! This allows multiple actual types to be formatted via `{:x}` (like [`i8`] as +//! well as [`isize`]). The current mapping of types to traits is: +//! +//! * *nothing* ⇒ [`Display`] +//! * `?` ⇒ [`Debug`] +//! * `x?` ⇒ [`Debug`] with lower-case hexadecimal integers +//! * `X?` ⇒ [`Debug`] with upper-case hexadecimal integers +//! * `o` ⇒ [`Octal`] +//! * `x` ⇒ [`LowerHex`] +//! * `X` ⇒ [`UpperHex`] +//! * `p` ⇒ [`Pointer`] +//! * `b` ⇒ [`Binary`] +//! * `e` ⇒ [`LowerExp`] +//! * `E` ⇒ [`UpperExp`] +//! +//! What this means is that any type of argument which implements the +//! [`fmt::Binary`][`Binary`] trait can then be formatted with `{:b}`. Implementations +//! are provided for these traits for a number of primitive types by the +//! standard library as well. If no format is specified (as in `{}` or `{:6}`), +//! then the format trait used is the [`Display`] trait. +//! +//! When implementing a format trait for your own type, you will have to +//! implement a method of the signature: +//! +//! ``` +//! # #![allow(dead_code)] +//! # use std::fmt; +//! # struct Foo; // our custom type +//! # impl fmt::Display for Foo { +//! fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { +//! # write!(f, "testing, testing") +//! # } } +//! ``` +//! +//! Your type will be passed as `self` by-reference, and then the function +//! should emit output into the Formatter `f` which implements `fmt::Write`. It is up to each +//! format trait implementation to correctly adhere to the requested formatting parameters. +//! The values of these parameters can be accessed with methods of the +//! [`Formatter`] struct. In order to help with this, the [`Formatter`] struct also +//! provides some helper methods. +//! +//! Additionally, the return value of this function is [`fmt::Result`] which is a +//! type alias of <code>[Result]<(), [std::fmt::Error]></code>. Formatting implementations +//! should ensure that they propagate errors from the [`Formatter`] (e.g., when +//! calling [`write!`]). However, they should never return errors spuriously. That +//! is, a formatting implementation must and may only return an error if the +//! passed-in [`Formatter`] returns an error. This is because, contrary to what +//! the function signature might suggest, string formatting is an infallible +//! operation. This function only returns a result because writing to the +//! underlying stream might fail and it must provide a way to propagate the fact +//! that an error has occurred back up the stack. +//! +//! An example of implementing the formatting traits would look +//! like: +//! +//! ``` +//! use std::fmt; +//! +//! #[derive(Debug)] +//! struct Vector2D { +//! x: isize, +//! y: isize, +//! } +//! +//! impl fmt::Display for Vector2D { +//! fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { +//! // The `f` value implements the `Write` trait, which is what the +//! // write! macro is expecting. Note that this formatting ignores the +//! // various flags provided to format strings. +//! write!(f, "({}, {})", self.x, self.y) +//! } +//! } +//! +//! // Different traits allow different forms of output of a type. The meaning +//! // of this format is to print the magnitude of a vector. +//! impl fmt::Binary for Vector2D { +//! fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { +//! let magnitude = (self.x * self.x + self.y * self.y) as f64; +//! let magnitude = magnitude.sqrt(); +//! +//! // Respect the formatting flags by using the helper method +//! // `pad_integral` on the Formatter object. See the method +//! // documentation for details, and the function `pad` can be used +//! // to pad strings. +//! let decimals = f.precision().unwrap_or(3); +//! let string = format!("{:.*}", decimals, magnitude); +//! f.pad_integral(true, "", &string) +//! } +//! } +//! +//! fn main() { +//! let myvector = Vector2D { x: 3, y: 4 }; +//! +//! println!("{myvector}"); // => "(3, 4)" +//! println!("{myvector:?}"); // => "Vector2D {x: 3, y:4}" +//! println!("{myvector:10.3b}"); // => " 5.000" +//! } +//! ``` +//! +//! ### `fmt::Display` vs `fmt::Debug` +//! +//! These two formatting traits have distinct purposes: +//! +//! - [`fmt::Display`][`Display`] implementations assert that the type can be faithfully +//! represented as a UTF-8 string at all times. It is **not** expected that +//! all types implement the [`Display`] trait. +//! - [`fmt::Debug`][`Debug`] implementations should be implemented for **all** public types. +//! Output will typically represent the internal state as faithfully as possible. +//! The purpose of the [`Debug`] trait is to facilitate debugging Rust code. In +//! most cases, using `#[derive(Debug)]` is sufficient and recommended. +//! +//! Some examples of the output from both traits: +//! +//! ``` +//! assert_eq!(format!("{} {:?}", 3, 4), "3 4"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("{} {:?}", 'a', 'b'), "a 'b'"); +//! assert_eq!(format!("{} {:?}", "foo\n", "bar\n"), "foo\n \"bar\\n\""); +//! ``` +//! +//! # Related macros +//! +//! There are a number of related macros in the [`format!`] family. The ones that +//! are currently implemented are: +//! +//! ```ignore (only-for-syntax-highlight) +//! format! // described above +//! write! // first argument is either a &mut io::Write or a &mut fmt::Write, the destination +//! writeln! // same as write but appends a newline +//! print! // the format string is printed to the standard output +//! println! // same as print but appends a newline +//! eprint! // the format string is printed to the standard error +//! eprintln! // same as eprint but appends a newline +//! format_args! // described below. +//! ``` +//! +//! ### `write!` +//! +//! [`write!`] and [`writeln!`] are two macros which are used to emit the format string +//! to a specified stream. This is used to prevent intermediate allocations of +//! format strings and instead directly write the output. Under the hood, this +//! function is actually invoking the [`write_fmt`] function defined on the +//! [`std::io::Write`] and the [`std::fmt::Write`] trait. Example usage is: +//! +//! ``` +//! # #![allow(unused_must_use)] +//! use std::io::Write; +//! let mut w = Vec::new(); +//! write!(&mut w, "Hello {}!", "world"); +//! ``` +//! +//! ### `print!` +//! +//! This and [`println!`] emit their output to stdout. Similarly to the [`write!`] +//! macro, the goal of these macros is to avoid intermediate allocations when +//! printing output. Example usage is: +//! +//! ``` +//! print!("Hello {}!", "world"); +//! println!("I have a newline {}", "character at the end"); +//! ``` +//! ### `eprint!` +//! +//! The [`eprint!`] and [`eprintln!`] macros are identical to +//! [`print!`] and [`println!`], respectively, except they emit their +//! output to stderr. +//! +//! ### `format_args!` +//! +//! [`format_args!`] is a curious macro used to safely pass around +//! an opaque object describing the format string. This object +//! does not require any heap allocations to create, and it only +//! references information on the stack. Under the hood, all of +//! the related macros are implemented in terms of this. First +//! off, some example usage is: +//! +//! ``` +//! # #![allow(unused_must_use)] +//! use std::fmt; +//! use std::io::{self, Write}; +//! +//! let mut some_writer = io::stdout(); +//! write!(&mut some_writer, "{}", format_args!("print with a {}", "macro")); +//! +//! fn my_fmt_fn(args: fmt::Arguments) { +//! write!(&mut io::stdout(), "{}", args); +//! } +//! my_fmt_fn(format_args!(", or a {} too", "function")); +//! ``` +//! +//! The result of the [`format_args!`] macro is a value of type [`fmt::Arguments`]. +//! This structure can then be passed to the [`write`] and [`format`] functions +//! inside this module in order to process the format string. +//! The goal of this macro is to even further prevent intermediate allocations +//! when dealing with formatting strings. +//! +//! For example, a logging library could use the standard formatting syntax, but +//! it would internally pass around this structure until it has been determined +//! where output should go to. +//! +//!
