This module contains the runtime support for the `format!` syntax extension. -//! This macro is implemented in the compiler to emit calls to this module in -//! order to format arguments at runtime into strings and streams. -//! -//! ## Usage -//! -//! The `format!` macro is intended to be familiar to those coming from C's -//! printf/fprintf functions or Python's `str.format` function. In its current -//! revision, the `format!` macro returns a `String` type which is the result of -//! the formatting. In the future it will also be able to pass in a stream to -//! format arguments directly while performing minimal allocations. -//! -//! Some examples of the `format!` extension are: -//! -//! ``` -//! format!("Hello"); // => "Hello" -//! format!("Hello, {}!", "world"); // => "Hello, world!" -//! format!("The number is {}", 1); // => "The number is 1" -//! format!("{:?}", (3, 4)); // => "(3, 4)" -//! format!("{value}", value=4); // => "4" -//! format!("{} {}", 1, 2u); // => "1 2" -//! ``` -//! -//! From these, you can see that the first argument is a format string. It is -//! required by the compiler for this to be a string literal; it cannot be a -//! variable passed in (in order to perform validity checking). The compiler -//! will then parse the format string and determine if the list of arguments -//! provided is suitable to pass to this format string. -//! -//! ### Positional parameters -//! -//! Each formatting argument is allowed to specify which value argument it's -//! referencing, and if omitted it is assumed to be "the next argument". For -//! example, the format string `{} {} {}` would take three parameters, and they -//! would be formatted in the same order as they're given. The format string -//! `{2} {1} {0}`, however, would format arguments in reverse order. -//! -//! Things can get a little tricky once you start intermingling the two types of -//! positional specifiers. The "next argument" specifier can be thought of as an -//! iterator over the argument. Each time a "next argument" specifier is seen, -//! the iterator advances. This leads to behavior like this: -//! -//! ```rust -//! format!("{1} {} {0} {}", 1, 2); // => "2 1 1 2" -//! ``` -//! -//! The internal iterator over the argument has not been advanced by the time -//! the first `{}` is seen, so it prints the first argument. Then upon reaching -//! the second `{}`, the iterator has advanced forward to the second argument. -//! Essentially, parameters which explicitly name their argument do not affect -//! parameters which do not name an argument in terms of positional specifiers. -//! -//! A format string is required to use all of its arguments, otherwise it is a -//! compile-time error. You may refer to the same argument more than once in the -//! format string, although it must always be referred to with the same type. -//! -//! ### Named parameters -//! -//! Rust itself does not have a Python-like equivalent of named parameters to a -//! function, but the `format!` macro is a syntax extension which allows it to -//! leverage named parameters. Named parameters are listed at the end of the -//! argument list and have the syntax: -//! -//! ```text -//! identifier '=' expression -//! ``` -//! -//! For example, the following `format!` expressions all use named argument: -//! -//! ``` -//! format!("{argument}", argument = "test"); // => "test" -//! format!("{name} {}", 1, name = 2); // => "2 1" -//! format!("{a} {c} {b}", a="a", b='b', c=3); // => "a 3 b" -//! ``` -//! -//! It is illegal to put positional parameters (those without names) after -//! arguments which have names. Like with positional parameters, it is illegal -//! to provide named parameters that are unused by the format string. -//! -//! ### Argument types -//! -//! Each argument's type is dictated by the format string. It is a requirement -//! that every argument is only ever referred to by one type. For example, this -//! is an invalid format string: -//! -//! ```text -//! {0:x} {0:o} -//! ``` -//! -//! This is invalid because the first argument is both referred to as a -//! hexadecimal as well as an -//! octal. -//! -//! There are various parameters which do require a particular type, however. -//! Namely if the syntax `{:.*}` is used, then the number of characters to print -//! precedes the actual object being formatted, and the number of characters -//! must have the type `uint`. Although a `uint` can be printed with `{}`, it is -//! illegal to reference an argument as such. For example this is another -//! invalid format string: -//! -//! ```text -//! {:.*} {0} -//! ``` -//! -//! ### Formatting traits -//! -//! When requesting that an argument be formatted with a particular type, you -//! are actually requesting that an argument ascribes to a particular trait. -//! This allows multiple actual types to be formatted via `{:x}` (like `i8` as -//! well as `int`). The current mapping of types to traits is: -//! -//! * *nothing* ⇒ `Display` -//! * `?` ⇒ `Debug` -//! * `o` ⇒ `Octal` -//! * `x` ⇒ `LowerHex` -//! * `X` ⇒ `UpperHex` -//! * `p` ⇒ `Pointer` -//! * `b` ⇒ `Binary` -//! * `e` ⇒ `LowerExp` -//! * `E` ⇒ `UpperExp` -//! -//! What this means is that any type of argument which implements the -//! `std::fmt::Binary` trait can then be formatted with `{:b}`. Implementations -//! are provided for these traits for a number of primitive types by the -//! standard library as well. If no format is specified (as in `{}` or `{:6}`), -//! then the format trait used is the `Display` trait. -//! -//! When implementing a format trait for your own type, you will have to -//! implement a method of the signature: -//! -//! ```rust -//! # use std::fmt; -//! # struct Foo; // our custom type -//! # impl fmt::Display for Foo { -//! fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { -//! # write!(f, "testing, testing") -//! # } } -//! ``` -//! -//! Your type will be passed as `self` by-reference, and then the function -//! should emit output into the `f.buf` stream. It is up to each format trait -//! implementation to correctly adhere to the requested formatting parameters. -//! The values of these parameters will be listed in the fields of the -//! `Formatter` struct. In order to help with this, the `Formatter` struct also -//! provides some helper methods. -//! -//! Additionally, the return value of this function is `fmt::Result` which is a -//! typedef to `Result<(), IoError>` (also known as `IoResult<()>`). Formatting -//! implementations should ensure that they return errors from `write!` -//! correctly (propagating errors upward). -//! -//! An example of implementing the formatting traits would look -//! like: -//! -//! ```rust -//! use std::fmt; -//! use std::f64; -//! use std::num::Float; -//! -//! #[derive(Debug)] -//! struct Vector2D { -//! x: int, -//! y: int, -//! } -//! -//! impl fmt::Display for Vector2D { -//! fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { -//! // The `f` value implements the `Writer` trait, which is what the -//! // write! macro is expecting. Note that this formatting ignores the -//! // various flags provided to format strings. -//! write!(f, "({}, {})", self.x, self.y) -//! } -//! } -//! -//! // Different traits allow different forms of output of a type. The meaning -//! // of this format is to print the magnitude of a vector. -//! impl fmt::Binary for Vector2D { -//! fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { -//! let magnitude = (self.x * self.x + self.y * self.y) as f64; -//! let magnitude = magnitude.sqrt(); -//! -//! // Respect the formatting flags by using the helper method -//! // `pad_integral` on the Formatter object. See the method documentation -//! // for details, and the function `pad` can be used to pad strings. -//! let decimals = f.precision().unwrap_or(3); -//! let string = f64::to_str_exact(magnitude, decimals); -//! f.pad_integral(true, "", string.as_slice()) -//! } -//! } -//! -//! fn main() { -//! let myvector = Vector2D { x: 3, y: 4 }; -//! -//! println!("{}", myvector); // => "(3, 4)" -//! println!("{:?}", myvector); // => "Vector2D {x: 3, y:4}" -//! println!("{:10.3b}", myvector); // => " 5.000" -//! } -//! ``` -//! -//! #### fmt::Display vs fmt::Debug -//! -//! These two formatting traits have distinct purposes: -//! -//! - `fmt::Display` implementations assert that the type can be faithfully -//! represented as a UTF-8 string at all times. It is **not** expected that -//! all types implement the `Display` trait. -//! - `fmt::Debug` implementations should be implemented for **all** public types. -//! Output will typically represent the internal state as faithfully as possible. -//! The purpose of the `Debug` trait is to facilitate debugging Rust code. In -//! most cases, using `#[derive(Debug)]` is sufficient and recommended. -//! -//! Some examples of the output from both traits: -//! -//! ``` -//! assert_eq!(format!("{} {:?}", 3i32, 4i32), "3 4"); -//! assert_eq!(format!("{} {:?}", 'a', 'b'), "a 'b'"); -//! assert_eq!(format!("{} {:?}", "foo\n", "bar\n"), "foo\n \"bar\\n\""); -//! ``` -//! -//! ### Related macros -//! -//! There are a number of related macros in the `format!` family. The ones that -//! are currently implemented are: -//! -//! ```ignore -//! format! // described above -//! write! // first argument is a &mut old_io::Writer, the destination -//! writeln! // same as write but appends a newline -//! print! // the format string is printed to the standard output -//! println! // same as print but appends a newline -//! format_args! // described below. -//! ``` -//! -//! #### `write!` -//! -//! This and `writeln` are two macros which are used to emit the format string -//! to a specified stream. This is used to prevent intermediate allocations of -//! format strings and instead directly write the output. Under the hood, this -//! function is actually invoking the `write` function defined in this module. -//! Example usage is: -//! -//! ```rust -//! # #![allow(unused_must_use)] -//! let mut w = Vec::new(); -//! write!(&mut w, "Hello {}!", "world"); -//! ``` -//! -//! #### `print!` -//! -//! This and `println` emit their output to stdout. Similarly to the `write!` -//! macro, the goal of these macros is to avoid intermediate allocations when -//! printing output. Example usage is: -//! -//! ```rust -//! print!("Hello {}!", "world"); -//! println!("I have a newline {}", "character at the end"); -//! ``` -//! -//! #### `format_args!` -//! This is a curious macro which is used to safely pass around -//! an opaque object describing the format string. This object -//! does not require any heap allocations to create, and it only -//! references information on the stack. Under the hood, all of -//! the related macros are implemented in terms of this. First -//! off, some example usage is: -//! -//! ``` -//! use std::fmt; -//! use std::old_io; -//! -//! fmt::format(format_args!("this returns {}", "String")); -//! -//! let mut some_writer = old_io::stdout(); -//! write!(&mut some_writer, "{}", format_args!("print with a {}", "macro")); -//! -//! fn my_fmt_fn(args: fmt::Arguments) { -//! write!(&mut old_io::stdout(), "{}", args); -//! } -//! my_fmt_fn(format_args!("or a {} too", "function")); -//! ``` -//! -//! The result of the `format_args!` macro is a value of type `fmt::Arguments`. -//! This structure can then be passed to the `write` and `format` functions -//! inside this module in order to process the format string. -//! The goal of this macro is to even further prevent intermediate allocations -//! when dealing formatting strings. -//! -//! For example, a logging library could use the standard formatting syntax, but -//! it would internally pass around this structure until it has been determined -//! where output should go to. -//! -//! ## Syntax -//! -//! The syntax for the formatting language used is drawn from other languages, -//! so it should not be too alien. Arguments are formatted with python-like -//! syntax, meaning that arguments are surrounded by `{}` instead of the C-like -//! `%`. The actual grammar for the formatting syntax is: -//! -//! ```text -//! format_string := <text> [ format <text> ] * -//! format := '{' [ argument ] [ ':' format_spec ] '}' -//! argument := integer | identifier -//! -//! format_spec := [[fill]align][sign]['#'][0][width]['.' precision][type] -//! fill := character -//! align := '<' | '^' | '>' -//! sign := '+' | '-' -//! width := count -//! precision := count | '*' -//! type := identifier | '' -//! count := parameter | integer -//! parameter := integer '$' -//! ``` -//! -//! ## Formatting Parameters -//! -//! Each argument being formatted can be transformed by a number of formatting -//! parameters (corresponding to `format_spec` in the syntax above). These -//! parameters affect the string representation of what's being formatted. This -//! syntax draws heavily from Python's, so it may seem a bit familiar. -//! -//! ### Fill/Alignment -//! -//! The fill character is provided normally in conjunction with the `width` -//! parameter. This indicates that if the value being formatted is smaller than -//! `width` some extra characters will be printed around it. The extra -//! characters are specified by `fill`, and the alignment can be one of two -//! options: -//! -//! * `<` - the argument is left-aligned in `width` columns -//! * `^` - the argument is center-aligned in `width` columns -//! * `>` - the argument is right-aligned in `width` columns -//! -//! ### Sign/#/0 -//! -//! These can all be interpreted as flags for a particular formatter. -//! -//! * '+' - This is intended for numeric types and indicates that the sign -//! should always be printed. Positive signs are never printed by -//! default, and the negative sign is only printed by default for the -//! `Signed` trait. This flag indicates that the correct sign (+ or -) -//! should always be printed. -//! * '-' - Currently not used -//! * '#' - This flag is indicates that the "alternate" form of printing should -//! be used. By default, this only applies to the integer formatting -//! traits and performs like: -//! * `x` - precedes the argument with a "0x" -//! * `X` - precedes the argument with a "0x" -//! * `t` - precedes the argument with a "0b" -//! * `o` - precedes the argument with a "0o" -//! * '0' - This is used to indicate for integer formats that the padding should -//! both be done with a `0` character as well as be sign-aware. A format -//! like `{:08d}` would yield `00000001` for the integer `1`, while the -//! same format would yield `-0000001` for the integer `-1`. Notice that -//! the negative version has one fewer zero than the positive version. -//! -//! ### Width -//! -//! This is a parameter for the "minimum width" that the format should take up. -//! If the value's string does not fill up this many characters, then the -//! padding specified by fill/alignment will be used to take up the required -//! space. -//! -//! The default fill/alignment for non-numerics is a space and left-aligned. The -//! defaults for numeric formatters is also a space but with right-alignment. If -//! the '0' flag is specified for numerics, then the implicit fill character is -//! '0'. -//! -//! The value for the width can also be provided as a `uint` in the list of -//! parameters by using the `2$` syntax indicating that the second argument is a -//! `uint` specifying the width. -//! -//! ### Precision -//! -//! For non-numeric types, this can be considered a "maximum width". If the -//! resulting string is longer than this width, then it is truncated down to -//! this many characters and only those are emitted. -//! -//! For integral types, this has no meaning currently. -//! -//! For floating-point types, this indicates how many digits after the decimal -//! point should be printed. -//! -//! ## Escaping -//! -//! The literal characters `{` and `}` may be included in a string by preceding -//! them with the same character. For example, the `{` character is escaped with -//! `{{` and the `}` character is escaped with `}}`. - -#![unstable(feature = "std_misc")] - -pub use core::fmt::{Formatter, Result, Writer, rt}; -pub use core::fmt::{Show, String, Octal, Binary}; -pub use core::fmt::{Display, Debug}; -pub use core::fmt::{LowerHex, UpperHex, Pointer}; -pub use core::fmt::{LowerExp, UpperExp}; -pub use core::fmt::Error; -pub use core::fmt::{ArgumentV1, Arguments, write, radix, Radix, RadixFmt}; - -pub use core_collections::fmt::format; diff --git a/src/libstd/lib.rs b/src/libstd/lib.rs index 2a523356f62..9a9a554ec98 100644 --- a/src/libstd/lib.rs +++ b/src/libstd/lib.rs @@ -181,6 +181,7 @@ pub use core::error; #[cfg(not(test))] pub use alloc::boxed; pub use alloc::rc; +pub use core_collections::fmt; pub use core_collections::slice; pub use core_collections::str; pub use core_collections::string; @@ -246,7 +247,6 @@ pub mod thread_local; pub mod dynamic_lib; pub mod ffi; -pub mod fmt; pub mod old_io; pub mod io; pub mod os; |
