Loop unrolling via declarative macros?

1

For "loop unrolling" via declarative macros, is there something newer / better than rust - Can I create a macro that unrolls loops? - Stack Overflow ?

Technically, I need something stronger than merely "loop unrolling", so I have some "fragment" of the form:

i -> valid_rust_expr_containing_i

then I want this thing repeated with i=0, i=1, ..., i=n-1

You can do that with the seq-macro crate:
https://crates.io/crates/seq-macro/
Example:

use seq_macro::seq;

fn main(){
    seq!(N in 0..=10 {
        println!("{}", N);
    });
}

prints:

0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

It's a proc macro, don't know why it's a requirement that it must be a macro_rules! macro.

Good call. I meant (but failed) to express: "I'm okay with writing declarative macros; but prefer not to write proc macros if possible." However, it's fine if someone else has already written the procedural macro. :slight_smile:
