# Struct proc_macro2::TokenStream

source · [−]

    pub struct TokenStream { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

An abstract stream of tokens, or more concretely a sequence of token trees.

This type provides interfaces for iterating over token trees and for collecting token trees into one stream.

Token stream is both the input and output of `#[proc_macro]`, `#[proc_macro_attribute]` and `#[proc_macro_derive]` definitions.

## Implementations

source

### impl TokenStream

source

#### pub fn new() -> Self

Returns an empty `TokenStream` containing no token trees.

source

#### pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Checks if this `TokenStream` is empty.

source

### impl FromStr for TokenStream

Attempts to break the string into tokens and parse those tokens into a token stream.

May fail for a number of reasons, for example, if the string contains unbalanced delimiters or characters not existing in the language.

NOTE: Some errors may cause panics instead of returning `LexError`. We reserve the right to change these errors into `LexError`s later.

#### type Err = LexError

Parses a string `s` to return a value of this type. Read more

source

### impl IntoIterator for TokenStream

#### type Item = TokenTree

#### type IntoIter = IntoIter

Which kind of iterator are we turning this into?

source

#### fn into_iter(self) -> IntoIter ⓘNotable traits for IntoIter `impl Iterator for IntoIter type Item = TokenTree;`
