+Remain sorted
+=============
+
+[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.com/dtolnay/remain.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/dtolnay/remain)
+[![Latest Version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/remain.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/remain)
+[![Rust Documentation](https://img.shields.io/badge/api-rustdoc-blue.svg)](https://docs.rs/remain)
+
+This crate provides an attribute macro to check at compile time that the
+variants of an enum or the arms of a match expression are written in sorted
+order.
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+remain = "0.1"
+```
+
+## Syntax
+
+Place a `#[remain::sorted]` attribute on enums, structs, match-expressions, or
+let-statements whose value is a match-expression.
+
+Alternatively, import as `use remain::sorted;` and use `#[sorted]` as the
+attribute.
+
+```rust
+#[remain::sorted]
+#[derive(Debug)]
+pub enum Error {
+ BlockSignal(signal::Error),
+ CreateCrasClient(libcras::Error),
+ CreateEventFd(sys_util::Error),
+ CreateSignalFd(sys_util::SignalFdError),
+ CreateSocket(io::Error),
+ DetectImageType(qcow::Error),
+ DeviceJail(io_jail::Error),
+ NetDeviceNew(virtio::NetError),
+ SpawnVcpu(io::Error),
+}
+
+#[remain::sorted]
+#[derive(Debug)]
+pub enum Registers {
+ ax: u16,
+ cx: u16,
+ di: u16,
+ si: u16,
+ sp: u16,
+}
+
+impl Display for Error {
+ fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
+ use self::Error::*;
+
+ #[remain::sorted]
+ match self {
+ BlockSignal(e) => write!(f, "failed to block signal: {}", e),
+ CreateCrasClient(e) => write!(f, "failed to create cras client: {}", e),
+ CreateEventFd(e) => write!(f, "failed to create eventfd: {}", e),
+ CreateSignalFd(e) => write!(f, "failed to create signalfd: {}", e),
+ CreateSocket(e) => write!(f, "failed to create socket: {}", e),
+ DetectImageType(e) => write!(f, "failed to detect disk image type: {}", e),
+ DeviceJail(e) => write!(f, "failed to jail device: {}", e),
+ NetDeviceNew(e) => write!(f, "failed to set up virtio networking: {}", e),
+ SpawnVcpu(e) => write!(f, "failed to spawn VCPU thread: {}", e),
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+If an enum variant, struct field, or match arm is inserted out of order,
+
+```diff
+ NetDeviceNew(virtio::NetError),
+ SpawnVcpu(io::Error),
++ AaaUhOh(Box<dyn StdError>),
+ }
+```
+
+then the macro produces a compile error.
+
+```console
+error: AaaUhOh should sort before BlockSignal
+ --> tests/stable.rs:49:5
+ |
+49 | AaaUhOh(Box<dyn StdError>),
+ | ^^^^^^^
+```
+
+## Compiler support
+
+The attribute on enums and structs is supported on any rustc version 1.31+.
+
+Rust does not yet have stable support for user-defined attributes within a
+function body, so the attribute on match-expressions and let-statements requires
+a nightly compiler and the following two features enabled:
+
+```rust
+#![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, stmt_expr_attributes)]
+```
+
+As a stable alternative, this crate provides a function-level attribute called
+`#[remain::check]` which makes match-expression and let-statement attributes
+work on any rustc version 1.31+. Place this attribute on any function containing
+`#[sorted]` to make them work on a stable compiler.
+
+```rust
+impl Display for Error {
+ #[remain::check]
+ fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
+ use self::Error::*;
+
+ #[sorted]
+ match self {
+ /* ... */
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
