Description: API documentation for the Rust `line` macro in crate `std`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, line

# Macro std::line 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    macro_rules! line {
        () => { ... };
    }

A macro which expands to the line number on which it was invoked.

With `column!` and `file!`, these macros provide debugging information for developers about the location within the source.

The expanded expression has type `u32` and is 1-based, so the first line in each file evaluates to 1, the second to 2, etc. This is consistent with error messages by common compilers or popular editors. The returned line is not the invocation of the `line!` macro itself, but rather the first macro invocation leading up to the invocation of the `line!` macro.

# Examples

    let current_line = line!();
    println!("defined on line: {}", current_line);Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
