compiler/rustc_attr_parsing/src/attributes/mod.rs

//! This module defines traits for attribute parsers, little state machines that recognize and parse
//! attributes out of a longer list of attributes. The main trait is called [`AttributeParser`].
//! You can find more docs about [`AttributeParser`]s on the trait itself.
//! However, for many types of attributes, implementing [`AttributeParser`] is not necessary.
//! It allows for a lot of flexibility you might not want.
//!
//! Specifically, you might not care about managing the state of your [`AttributeParser`]
//! state machine yourself. In this case you can choose to implement:
//!
//! - [`SingleAttributeParser`]: makes it easy to implement an attribute which should error if it
//! appears more than once in a list of attributes
//! - [`CombineAttributeParser`]: makes it easy to implement an attribute which should combine the
//! contents of attributes, if an attribute appear multiple times in a list
//!
//! Attributes should be added to [`ATTRIBUTE_MAPPING`](crate::context::ATTRIBUTE_MAPPING) to be parsed.

/// An [`AttributeParser`] is a type which searches for syntactic attributes.

/// Parsers are often tiny state machines that gets to see all syntactical attributes on an item.
/// [`Default::default`] creates a fresh instance that sits in some kind of initial state, usually that the
/// attribute it is looking for was not yet seen.
///
/// Then, it defines what paths this group will accept in [`AttributeParser::ATTRIBUTES`].
/// These are listed as pairs, of symbols and function pointers. The function pointer will
/// be called when that attribute is found on an item, which can influence the state of the little
/// state machine.
///
/// Finally, after all attributes on an item have been seen, and possibly been accepted,
/// the [`finalize`](AttributeParser::finalize) functions for all attribute parsers are called. Each can then report
/// whether it has seen the attribute it has been looking for.
