//! //! ##### An attribute macro to make trait methods callable without the trait in scope. //! //! # Example //! //! ```rust //! mod types { //! use inherent::inherent; //! //! trait Trait { //! fn f(self); //! } //! //! pub struct Struct; //! //! #[inherent] //! impl Trait for Struct { //! pub fn f(self) {} //! } //! } //! //! fn main() { //! // types::Trait is not in scope, but method can be called. //! types::Struct.f(); //! } //! ``` //! //! Without the `inherent` macro on the trait impl, this would have failed with the //! following error: //! //! ```console //! error[E0599]: no method named `f` found for type `types::Struct` in the current scope //! --> src/main.rs:18:19 //! | //! 8 | pub struct Struct; //! | ------------------ method `f` not found for this //! ... //! 18 | types::Struct.f(); //! | ^ //! | //! = help: items from traits can only be used if the trait is implemented and in scope //! = note: the following trait defines an item `f`, perhaps you need to implement it: //! candidate #1: `types::Trait` //! ``` //! //! The `inherent` macro expands to inherent methods on the `Self` type of the trait //! impl that forward to the trait methods. In the case above, the generated code //! would be: //! //! ```rust //! # trait Trait { //! # fn f(self); //! # } //! # //! # pub struct Struct; //! # //! # impl Trait for Struct { //! # fn f(self) {} //! # } //! # //! impl Struct { //! pub fn f(self) { //! ::f(self) //! } //! } //! ``` #![allow( clippy::default_trait_access, clippy::needless_doctest_main, clippy::needless_pass_by_value )] extern crate proc_macro; mod expand; mod parse; use proc_macro::TokenStream; use syn::parse::Nothing; use syn::parse_macro_input; use crate::parse::TraitImpl; #[proc_macro_attribute] pub fn inherent(args: TokenStream, input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream { parse_macro_input!(args as Nothing); let input = parse_macro_input!(input as TraitImpl); expand::inherent(input).into() }
