rs-0.11.1 — A documented standard library#

Every public function, family, and method of the standard library now has a docstring, and marslang symbols describes the packages a program imports, so an editor can explain math.sqrt as well as your own names.

Docstrings in the standard library#

std.math, std.strings, std.containers, std.types, and std.time carry 111 docstrings between them, written from their reference pages:

takepkg std.math;

func m{
    out(math.sqrt(2.0));   // hover: func math.sqrt([int,longint,float] x)
}                          //        Square root, as a float. A negative x raises RangeError.

A test now fails if a public standard-library declaration has no docstring, so new ones cannot be added without one.

marslang symbols describes imported packages#

The JSON gains packages: for each takepkg, the alias the program uses, the package's name, and its public functions, families with their public methods, and fixed/hot values with their types. Parameter names are shown as written. A variable made by a package's family, such as s = containers.stack();, is known to be a containers.stack.

Validation#

cargo test passes 118 tests (13 unit, 104 execution, 1 memory) on Windows Rust and on WSL-native Rust.
