src/cursor.rs

//! This module defines a cheaply-copyable cursor into a TokenStream's data.
//!
//! It does this by copying the data into a stably-addressed structured buffer,
//! and holding raw pointers into that buffer to allow walking through delimited
//! sequences cheaply.
//!
//! This module is heavily commented as it contains the only unsafe code in
//! `syn`, and caution should be made when editing it. It provides a safe
//! interface, but is fragile internally.
