Macro std::format_args1.0.0 [] [src]

macro_rules! format_args {
    ($fmt:expr) => { ... };
    ($fmt:expr, $($args:tt)*) => { ... };
}

The core macro for formatted string creation & output.

This macro functions by taking a formatting string literal containing {} for each additional argument passed. format_args! prepares the additional parameters to ensure the output can be interpreted as a string and canonicalizes the arguments into a single type. Any value that implements the Display trait can be passed to format_args!, as can any Debug implementation be passed to a {:?} within the formatting string.

This macro produces a value of type fmt::Arguments. This value can be passed to the macros within std::fmt for performing useful redirection. All other formatting macros (format!, write!, println!, etc) are proxied through this one. format_args!, unlike its derived macros, avoids heap allocations.

For more information, see the documentation in std::fmt.

Examples

use std::fmt;

let s = fmt::format(format_args!("hello {}", "world"));
assert_eq!(s, format!("hello {}", "world"));
