What kind of definition something is; e.g., mod vs struct.

Variants

Mod

Struct

Refers to the struct itself, DefKind::Ctor refers to its constructor if it exists.

Union

Enum

Variant

Refers to the variant itself, DefKind::Ctor refers to its constructor if it exists.

Trait

TyAlias

Type alias: type Foo = Bar;

ForeignTy

Type from an extern block.

TraitAlias

Trait alias: trait IntIterator = Iterator<Item = i32>;

AssocTy

Associated type: trait MyTrait { type Assoc; }

TyParam

Type parameter: the T in struct Vec<T> { ... }

Fn

Const

ConstParam

Constant generic parameter: struct Foo<const N: usize> { ... }

Static

Ctor(CtorOf, CtorKind)

Refers to the struct or enum variant’s constructor.

The reason Ctor exists in addition to DefKind::Struct and DefKind::Variant is because structs and enum variants exist in the type namespace, whereas struct and enum variant constructors exist in the value namespace.

You may wonder why enum variants exist in the type namespace as opposed to the value namespace. Check out RFC 2593 for intuition on why that is.

AssocFn

Associated function: impl MyStruct { fn associated() {} }

AssocConst

Associated constant: trait MyTrait { const ASSOC: usize; }

Macro(MacroKind)

ExternCrate

Use

ForeignMod

An extern block.

AnonConst

Anonymous constant, e.g. the 1 + 2 in [u8; 1 + 2], or const { 1 + 2}

OpaqueTy

Opaque type, aka impl Trait.

Field

LifetimeParam

Lifetime parameter: the 'a in struct Foo<'a> { ... }

GlobalAsm

A use of global_asm!.

Impl

Closure

Generator
