pub enum Purpose {
    BoundImpl,
    Declare,
}
Expand description

The goal of tracing generic parameter usage.

Not all uses of type parameters imply a need to add bounds to a generated trait impl. For example, a field of type <Vec<T> as a::b::Trait>::Associated does not need a where T: Serialize bound in serde. However, a proc macro that is attempting to generate a helper struct would need to know about this usage, or else the generated code would reference an unknown type T and fail to compile.

Variants

BoundImpl

The tracing is being used to generate an impl block.

Uses such as syn::TypePath.qself will not be returned.

Declare

The tracing is being used to generate a new struct or enum.

All uses will be returned.
