A Rust expression.

Syntax tree enums

This type is a syntax tree enum. In Syn this and other syntax tree enums are designed to be traversed using the following rebinding idiom.

let expr: Expr = /* ... */;
match expr {
    Expr::MethodCall(expr) => {
        /* ... */
    }
    Expr::Cast(expr) => {
        /* ... */
    }
    Expr::If(expr) => {
        /* ... */
    }
    /* ... */
}

We begin with a variable expr of type Expr that has no fields (because it is an enum), and by matching on it and rebinding a variable with the same name expr we effectively imbue our variable with all of the data fields provided by the variant that it turned out to be. So for example above if we ended up in the MethodCall case then we get to use expr.receiver, expr.args etc; if we ended up in the If case we get to use expr.cond, expr.then_branch, expr.else_branch.

The pattern is similar if the input expression is borrowed:

match *expr {
    Expr::MethodCall(ref expr) => {

This approach avoids repeating the variant names twice on every line.

Expr::MethodCall(ExprMethodCall { method, args, .. }) => { // repetitive

In general, the name to which a syntax tree enum variant is bound should be a suitable name for the complete syntax tree enum type.

// Binding is called `base` which is the name I would use if I were
// assigning `*discriminant.base` without an `if let`.
if let Expr::Tuple(ref base) = *discriminant.base {

A sign that you may not be choosing the right variable names is if you see names getting repeated in your code, like accessing receiver.receiver or pat.pat or cond.cond.
