Printer in regex_syntax::ast::print - Rust (original) (raw)
pub struct Printer { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
A printer for a regular expression abstract syntax tree.
A printer converts an abstract syntax tree (AST) to a regular expression pattern string. This particular printer uses constant stack space and heap space proportional to the size of the AST.
This printer will not necessarily preserve the original formatting of the regular expression pattern string. For example, all whitespace and comments are ignored.
Create a new printer.
Print the given Ast
to the given writer. The writer must implementfmt::Write
. Typical implementations of fmt::Write
that can be used here are a fmt::Formatter
(which is available in fmt::Display
implementations) or a &mut String
.
