Crate rustc_ap_rustc_lexer

Low-level Rust lexer.

Tokens produced by this lexer are not yet ready for parsing the Rust syntax, for that see librustc_parse::lexer, which converts this basic token stream into wide tokens used by actual parser.

The purpose of this crate is to convert raw sources into a labeled sequence of well-known token types, so building an actual Rust token stream will be easier.

Main entity of this crate is TokenKind enum which represents common lexeme types.

Modules

unescape

Utilities for validating string and char literals and turning them into values they represent.

Structs

Token

Parsed token. It doesn't contain information about data that has been parsed, only the type of the token and its size.

Enums

Base	Base of numeric literal encoding according to its prefix.
LiteralKind
TokenKind	Enum representing common lexeme types.

Functions

first_token	Parses the first token from the provided input string.
is_id_continue	True if c is valid as a non-first character of an identifier. See Rust language reference for a formal definition of valid identifier name.
is_id_start	True if c is valid as a first character of an identifier. See Rust language reference for a formal definition of valid identifier name.
is_whitespace	True if c is considered a whitespace according to Rust language definition. See Rust language reference for definitions of these classes.
strip_shebang	rustc allows files to have a shebang, e.g. "#!/usr/bin/rustrun", but shebang isn't a part of rust syntax, so this function skips the line if it starts with a shebang ("#!"). Line won't be skipped if it represents a valid Rust syntax (e.g. "#![deny(missing_docs)]").
tokenize	Creates an iterator that produces tokens from the input string.
