This is part of Silx project

hashed-type-def-procmacro contains the implementation of procedural macros for deriving type hashcode

• The hashcode is generated as u128 constant and as Uuid constant
• The hashcode generated by the derive macro is built from the morphology of the type definition and does not depend on the rust version

As the crate uses a procedural macro, however, the result could depend on the sequences generated by the parser (syn) and therefore on the evolution of this parser

Notes:

About version 0.1.2:

• Dependencies are updated

Content

Definition of procedural macros:

• #[derive(HashedTypeDef)] : procedural macro for deriving HashedTypeDef
• add_hashed_type_def : procedural macro for adding implementation of HashedTypeDef to existing type
• add_hashed_type_def_param : procedural macro for adding implementation of HashedTypeDef<REF> to existing type
• build_hasher : procedural macro for defining common hasher functions

The regular way to implement HashedTypeDef is by using the procedural macro #[derive(HashedTypeDef)]

The following example gives an overview of hashed-type-def features.
