  11 //! Infrastructure for compiler plugins.
  12 //!
  13 //! Plugins are Rust libraries which extend the behavior of `rustc`
  14 //! in various ways.
  15 //!
  16 //! Plugin authors will use the `Registry` type re-exported by
  17 //! this module, along with its methods.  The rest of the module
  18 //! is for use by `rustc` itself.
  19 //!
  20 //! To define a plugin, build a dylib crate with a
  21 //! `#[plugin_registrar]` function:
  22 //!
  23 //! ```rust,ignore
  24 //! #![crate_name = "myplugin"]
  25 //! #![crate_type = "dylib"]
  26 //! #![feature(plugin_registrar)]
  27 //!
  28 //! extern crate rustc;
  29 //!
  30 //! use rustc_plugin::Registry;
  31 //!
  32 //! #[plugin_registrar]
  33 //! pub fn plugin_registrar(reg: &mut Registry) {
  34 //!     reg.register_macro("mymacro", expand_mymacro);
  35 //! }
  36 //!
  37 //! fn expand_mymacro(...) {  // details elided
  38 //! ```
  39 //!
  40 //! WARNING: We currently don't check that the registrar function
  41 //! has the appropriate type!
  42 //!
  43 //! To use a plugin while compiling another crate:
  44 //!
  45 //! ```rust
  46 //! #![feature(plugin)]
  47 //! #![plugin(myplugin)]
  48 //! ```
  49 //!
  50 //! See the [Plugins Chapter](../../book/compiler-plugins.html) of the book
  51 //! for more examples.
