Declaration Site

License Crates.io Bevy Discord

Implements iterating through the debug info associated with currently loaded objects, to find functions. The main entry point for this crate is [for_some_currently_loaded_rust_functions], which internally iterates through all functions which can be found.

This crate was created to be used by bevy, for reporting errors with systems. Other crates making similar use of dependency injection may find this useful. This can be used to get the source code location of a function item type. This is implemented in [declaration_by_name] and the related functions. However, if searching for multiple names, it will be much more efficient to use [for_some_currently_loaded_rust_functions]:

# use declaration_site::{for_some_currently_loaded_rust_functions, DeclarationSite};
# use std::collections::HashMap;
let mut expected_names = HashMap::<String, Option<DeclarationSite>>::from([
    // Note that source locations for std/core are less likely to work, this is just an example
    ("std::io::read".into(), None),
    ("std::io::write".into(), None),
]);
for_some_currently_loaded_rust_functions(|name, function| {
    if let Some(result) = expected_names.get_mut(&name) {
        // Note that the `TryFrom` impl is only for `&Function`, so need to add
        // the reference
        *result = DeclarationSite::try_from(&function).ok();
    };
    // We could bail early here if all names have been filled, but that would
    // complicate the example. See the item level documentation for details
});
// Do things with `expected_names`...

Caveats

This is a best-effort search only. It may fail to find a given name for any number of reasons:

  • Will not find anything on WASM.
  • If the function is not linked - which may occur if it is never called. it may not be found.
  • The function has been inlined
  • If running on MacOS (we currently silently fail for reasons unknown, and the author cannot debug this due to not having a way to run it. Contributions welcome!)
