Are nested structs supported in Rust?
When I try to declare a struct inside of another struct:
struct Test {
struct Foo {}
}
The compiler complains:
error: expected identifier, found keyword `struct`
--> src/lib.rs:2:5
|
2 | struct Foo {}
| ^^^^^^ expected identifier, found keyword
help: you can escape reserved keywords to use them as identifiers
|
2 | r#struct Foo {}
| ^^^^^^^^
error: expected `:`, found `Foo`
--> src/lib.rs:2:12
|
2 | struct Foo {}
| ^^^ expected `:`
I could not find any documentation in either direction; are nested structs even supported in Rust?
No, they are not supported. You should use separate struct declarations and regular fields:
struct Foo {}
struct Test {
foo: Foo,
}
