Function generate_setter_body

fn generate_setter_body(
    struct_name: &Ident,
    slot: &SidecarSlot,
    _prot_index_lit: &LitInt,
) -> TokenStream
Expand description

Generate the token stream for a sidecar setter function body.

Converts the incoming R SEXP value and writes it to the corresponding Rust struct field. The conversion strategy depends on the slot kind:

  • RawSexp: stores the SEXP directly.
  • Scalar kinds: uses Rf_as* or coercion for single-element extraction; an input that doesn’t reduce to a single non-NA scalar raises a conversion error instead of silently storing an NA/false sentinel.
  • Conversion: uses TryFromSexp::try_from_sexp; a failed conversion raises a conversion error instead of silently dropping the write.

Returns the external pointer x (for R’s invisible return convention). The body runs inside with_r_unwind_protect (see the emission site in generate_sidecar_accessors); a bad receiver panics with the main-path expected ExternalPtr<T> message and conversion failures return a tagged condition SEXP with kind conversion — both are re-raised by the R wrapper. Sidecar accessors have no __miniextendr_call slot (#344/#348), so the tagged conditions carry null call attribution.
