9This crate provides an attribute macro to check at compile time that the
10variants of an enum or the arms of a match expression are written in sorted
11order.
12
13```toml
14[dependencies]
15remain = "0.2"
16```
17
18## Syntax
19
20Place a `#[remain::sorted]` attribute on enums, structs, match-expressions, or
21let-statements whose value is a match-expression.
22
23Alternatively, import as `use remain::sorted;` and use `#[sorted]` as the
24attribute.
25
26```rust
27#[remain::sorted]
28#[derive(Debug)]
29pub enum Error {
30 BlockSignal(signal::Error),
31 CreateCrasClient(libcras::Error),
32 CreateEventFd(sys_util::Error),
33 CreateSignalFd(sys_util::SignalFdError),
34 CreateSocket(io::Error),
35 DetectImageType(qcow::Error),
36 DeviceJail(io_jail::Error),
37 NetDeviceNew(virtio::NetError),
38 SpawnVcpu(io::Error),
39}
40
41#[remain::sorted]
42#[derive(Debug)]
43pub struct Registers {
44 ax: u16,
45 cx: u16,
46 di: u16,
47 si: u16,
48 sp: u16,
49}
50
51impl Display for Error {
52 fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
53 use self::Error::*;
54
55 #[remain::sorted]
56 match self {
57 BlockSignal(e) => write!(f, "failed to block signal: {}", e),
58 CreateCrasClient(e) => write!(f, "failed to create cras client: {}", e),
59 CreateEventFd(e) => write!(f, "failed to create eventfd: {}", e),
60 CreateSignalFd(e) => write!(f, "failed to create signalfd: {}", e),
61 CreateSocket(e) => write!(f, "failed to create socket: {}", e),
62 DetectImageType(e) => write!(f, "failed to detect disk image type: {}", e),
63 DeviceJail(e) => write!(f, "failed to jail device: {}", e),
64 NetDeviceNew(e) => write!(f, "failed to set up virtio networking: {}", e),
65 SpawnVcpu(e) => write!(f, "failed to spawn VCPU thread: {}", e),
66 }
67 }
68}
69```
70
71If an enum variant, struct field, or match arm is inserted out of order,
72
73```diff
74 NetDeviceNew(virtio::NetError),
75 SpawnVcpu(io::Error),
76+ AaaUhOh(Box<dyn StdError>),
77 }
78```
79
80then the macro produces a compile error.
81
82```console
83error: AaaUhOh should sort before BlockSignal
84 --> tests/stable.rs:49:5
85 |
8649 | AaaUhOh(Box<dyn StdError>),
87 | ^^^^^^^
88```
89
90## Compiler support
91
92The attribute on enums and structs is supported on any rustc version 1.31+.
93
94Rust does not yet have stable support for user-defined attributes within a
95function body, so the attribute on match-expressions and let-statements requires
96a nightly compiler and the following two features enabled:
97
98```rust
99#![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, stmt_expr_attributes)]
100```
101
102As a stable alternative, this crate provides a function-level attribute called
103`#[remain::check]` which makes match-expression and let-statement attributes
104work on any rustc version 1.31+. Place this attribute on any function containing
105`#[sorted]` to make them work on a stable compiler.
106
107```rust
108impl Display for Error {
109 #[remain::check]
110 fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
111 use self::Error::*;
112
113 #[sorted]
114 match self {
115 /* ... */
116 }
117 }
118}
119```
