# 1.0.0[−][src]Macro std::column

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

Expands to the column number at which it was invoked.

With `line!` 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 column in each line evaluates to 1, the second to 2, etc. This is consistent with error messages by common compilers or popular editors. The returned column is not necessarily the line of the `column!` invocation itself, but rather the first macro invocation leading up to the invocation of the `column!` macro.

# Examples

    let current_col = column!();
    println!("defined on column: {}", current_col);
