The generic parameters on a type definition can specify default values.
Currently `parse_generics()` cannot handle this though. For example when
parsing the following generics:
<T: Clone, const N: usize = 0>
The `impl_generics` will be set to `T: Clone, const N: usize = 0` and
`ty_generics` will be set to `T, N`. Now using the `impl_generics` on an
impl block:
impl<$($impl_generics)*> Foo {}
will result in invalid Rust code, because default values are only
available on type definitions.
Therefore add parsing support for generic parameter default values using
a new kind of generics called `decl_generics` and change the old
behavior of `impl_generics` to not contain the generic parameter default
values.
Now `Generics` has three fields:
- `impl_generics`: the generics with bounds
(e.g. `T: Clone, const N: usize`)
- `decl_generics`: the generics with bounds and default values
(e.g. `T: Clone, const N: usize = 0`)
- `ty_generics`: contains the generics without bounds and without
default values (e.g. `T, N`)
`impl_generics` is designed to be used on `impl<$impl_generics>`,
`decl_generics` for the type definition, so `struct Foo<$decl_generics>`
and `ty_generics` whenever you use the type, so `Foo<$ty_generics>`.
Here is an example that uses all three different types of generics:
let (Generics { decl_generics, impl_generics, ty_generics }, rest) = parse_generics(input);
quote! {
struct Foo<$($decl_generics)*> {
// ...
}
impl<$impl_generics> Foo<$ty_generics> {
fn foo() {
// ...
}
}
}
The next commit contains a fix to the `#[pin_data]` macro making it
compatible with generic parameter default values by relying on this new
behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
