# yield-closures [![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/yield-closures)](https://crates.io/crates/yield-closures) [![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/yield-closures)](https://docs.rs/yield-closures/)

An implementation of [MCP-49](https://github.com/rust-lang/lang-team/issues/49).

```rust
#[test]
fn decode_escape_string() {
let escaped_text = "Hello,\x20world!\\n";
let text: String = escaped_text
.chars()
.filter_map(co!(|c| {
loop {
if c != '\\' {
// Not escaped
yield Some(c);
continue;
}

// Go past the \
yield None;

// Unescaped-char
match c {
// Hexadecimal
'x' => {
yield None; // Go past the x
let most = c.to_digit(16);
yield None; // Go past the first digit
let least = c.to_digit(16);
// Yield the decoded char if valid
yield (|| char::from_u32(most? << 4 | least?))()
}
// Simple escapes
'n' => yield Some('\n'),
'r' => yield Some('\r'),
't' => yield Some('\t'),
'0' => yield Some('\0'),
'\\' => yield Some('\\'),
// Unnecessary escape
_ => yield Some(c),
}
}
}))
.collect();
assert_eq!(text, "Hello, world!\n");
}
```

For the details of the proposal, see https://lang-team.rust-lang.org/design_notes/general_coroutines.html.

Differences between this implementation and the proposal are summarized below:

- This crate offers a macro implementation. It works with the stable Rust.
- No `FnPin` is provided. Yield closures made with this crate use `Box::pin` internally and hence `FnMut`.
- In yield closures, one cannot use `return` expressions.
- The body of a yield closure must be explosive i.e. must not return and typed by the `!` type. Thus it is compatible with both of the two designs of yield closures discussed in the document of MCP-49: poisoning by default or not.
