- structures into tokens of source code.</p>
- <p>Procedural macros in Rust receive a stream of tokens as input, execute
- arbitrary Rust code to determine how to manipulate those tokens, and produce
- a stream of tokens to hand back to the compiler to compile into the caller's
- crate. Quasi-quoting is a solution to one piece of that -- producing tokens
- to return to the compiler.</p>
- <p>The idea of quasi-quoting is that we write <em>code</em> that we treat as <em>data</em>.
- Within the <code>quote!</code> macro, we can write what looks like code to our text
- editor or IDE. We get all the benefits of the editor's brace matching,
- syntax highlighting, indentation, and maybe autocompletion. But rather than
- compiling that as code into the current crate, we can treat it as data, pass
- it around, mutate it, and eventually hand it back to the compiler as tokens
- to compile into the macro caller's crate.</p>
- <p>This crate is motivated by the procedural macro use case, but is a
- general-purpose Rust quasi-quoting library and is not specific to procedural
- macros.</p>
- <p><em>Version requirement: Quote supports any compiler version back to Rust's
- very first support for procedural macros in Rust 1.15.0.</em></p>

- syntax performs interpolation of runtime variables into the quoted tokens.
- Check out the documentation of the <a href="macro.quote.html"><code>quote!</code></a> macro for more detail about

- <p>The <code>quote!</code> macro relies on deep recursion so some large invocations may
- fail with "recursion limit reached" when you compile. If it fails, bump up
- the recursion limit by adding <code>#![recursion_limit = "128"]</code> to your crate.
- An even higher limit may be necessary for especially large invocations.</p>
