//! # proc-macro-error //! //! This crate aims to provide an error reporting mechanism that is usable inside //! `proc-macros`, can highlight a specific span, and can be migrated from //! `panic!`-based errors with minimal efforts. //! //! Also, there's [ability to append a dummy token stream][dummy] to your errors. //! //! ## Usage //! //! In your `Cargo.toml`: //! //! ```toml //! proc-macro-error = "0.2" //! ``` //! //! In `lib.rs`: //! //! ```rust,ignore //! extern crate proc_macro_error; //! use proc_macro_error::{ //! filter_macro_errors, //! span_error, //! call_site_error, //! ResultExt, //! OptionExt //! }; //! //! // This is your main entry point //! #[proc_macro] //! pub fn make_answer(input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream { //! // This macro **must** be placed at the top level. //! // No need to touch the code inside though. //! filter_macro_errors! { //! // `parse_macro_input!` and friends work just fine inside this macro //! let input = parse_macro_input!(input as MyParser); //! //! if let Err(err) = some_logic(&input) { //! // we've got a span to blame, let's use it //! let span = err.span_should_be_highlighted(); //! let msg = err.message(); //! // This call jumps directly to the end of `filter_macro_errors!` invocation //! span_error!(span, "You made an error, go fix it: {}", msg); //! } //! //! // `Result` gets some handy shortcuts if your error type implements //! // `Into<``MacroError``>`. `Option` has one unconditionally //! use proc_macro_error::ResultExt; //! more_logic(&input).expect_or_exit("What a careless user, behave!"); //! //! if !more_logic_for_logic_god!(&input) { //! // We don't have an exact location this time, //! // so just highlight the proc-macro invocation itself //! call_site_error!( //! "Bad, bad user! Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did!"); //! } //! //! // Now all the processing is done, return `proc_macro::TokenStream` //! quote!(/* stuff */).into() //! } //! //! // At this point we have a new shining `proc_macro::TokenStream`! //! } //! ``` //! //! //! ## Motivation and Getting started //! //! Error handling in proc-macros sucks. It's not much of a choice today: //! you either "bubble up" the error up to the top-level of your macro and convert it to //! a [`compile_error!`][compl_err] invocation or just use a good old panic. Both these ways suck: //! //! - Former sucks because it's quite redundant to unroll a proper error handling //! just for critical errors that will crash the macro anyway so people mostly //! choose not to bother with it at all and use panic. Almost nobody does it, //! simple `.expect` is too tempting. //! - Later sucks because there's no way to carry out span info via `panic!`. `rustc` will highlight //! the whole invocation itself but not some specific token inside it. //! Furthermore, panics aren't for error-reporting at all; panics are for bug-detecting //! (like unwrapping on `None` or out-of range indexing) or for early development stages //! when you need a prototype ASAP and error handling can wait. Mixing these usages only //! messes things up. //! - There is [`proc_macro::Diagnostics`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/proc_macro/struct.Diagnostic.html) //! but it's experimental. (This crate will be deprecated once `Diagnostics` is stable.) //! //! That said, we need a solution, but this solution must meet these conditions: //! //! - It must be better than `panic!`. The main point: it must offer a way to carry span information //! over to user. //! - It must require as little effort as possible to migrate from `panic!`. Ideally, a new //! macro with the same semantics plus ability to carry out span info. //! - It must be usable on stable. //! //! This crate aims to provide such a mechanism. All you have to do is enclose all //! the code inside your top-level `#[proc_macro]` function in [`filter_macro_errors!`] //! invocation and change panics to [`span_error!`]/[`call_site_error!`] where appropriate, //! see [Usage](#usage) //! //! # How it works //! Effectively, it emulates try-catch mechanism on the top of panics. //! //! Essentially, the [`filter_macro_errors!`] macro is (C++ like pseudo-code) //! //! ```C++ //! try { //! /* your code */ //! } catch (MacroError) { //! /* conversion to compile_error! */ //! } catch (MultiMacroErrors) { //! /* conversion to multiple compile_error! invocations */ //! } //! ``` //! //! [`span_error!`] and co are //! //! ```C++ //! throw MacroError::new(span, format!(msg...)); //! ``` //! //! By calling [`span_error!`] you trigger panic that will be caught by [`filter_macro_errors!`] //! and converted to [`compile_error!`][compl_err] invocation. //! All the panics that weren't triggered by [`span_error!`] and co will be resumed as is. //! //! Panic catching is indeed *slow* but the macro is about to abort anyway so speed is not //! a concern here. Please note that **this crate is not intended to be used in any other way //! than a proc-macro error reporting**, use `Result` and `?` instead. //! //!
