enum_coder

Enum coder macro. A syntancic sugar for generating lists of instructions, intermediate representations for compilers etc.

Input for the macro consists of one enum definition, followed by function definitions.

Attributes generate_list makes a generator of enum values. The function signature is fn f() -> Vec<T>.

Attribute missing_field marks the computation of default values for fields. Alternatively, the attribute can be written as missing_field(args, ...). Then, function signature is fn f(args, field_name: &str).

See examples for more.
