Keywords
Rust divides keywords into three categories:
Strict keywords
These keywords can only be used in their correct contexts. For example, it is
not allowed to declare a variable with name struct.
Lexer:
KW_AS :as
KW_BOX :box
KW_BREAK :break
KW_CONST :const
KW_CONTINUE :continue
KW_CRATE :crate
KW_ELSE :else
KW_ENUM :enum
KW_EXTERN :extern
KW_FALSE :false
KW_FN :fn
KW_FOR :for
KW_IF :if
KW_IMPL :impl
KW_IN :in
KW_LET :let
KW_LOOP :loop
KW_MATCH :match
KW_MOD :mod
KW_MOVE :move
KW_MUT :mut
KW_PUB :pub
KW_REF :ref
KW_RETURN :return
KW_SELFVALUE :self
KW_SELFTYPE :Self
KW_STATIC :static
KW_STRUCT :struct
KW_SUPER :super
KW_TRAIT :trait
KW_TRUE :true
KW_TYPE :type
KW_UNSAFE :unsafe
KW_USE :use
KW_WHERE :where
KW_WHILE :while
Weak keywords
These keywords have special meaning only in certain contexts. For example,
it is possible to declare a variable or method with the name union.
Lexer
KW_CATCH :catch
KW_DEFAULT :default
KW_UNION :union
KW_STATICLIFETIME :'static
Reserved keywords
These keywords aren't used yet, but they are reserved for future use. The reasoning behind this is to make current programs forward compatible with future versions of Rust by forbidding them to use these keywords.
