# `self_struct_ctor`

The tracking issue for this feature is: [#51994] [#51994]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51994

The `self_struct_ctor` feature gate lets you use the special `Self` identifier as a constructor and a pattern.

A simple example is:

    # #![allow(unused_variables)]
    #![feature(self_struct_ctor)]

    #fn main() {
    struct ST(i32, i32);

    impl ST {
        fn new() -> Self {
            ST(0, 1)
        }

        fn ctor() -> Self {
            Self(1,2)           // constructed by `Self`, it is the same as `ST(1, 2)`
        }

        fn pattern(self) {
            match self {
                Self(x, y) => println!("{} {}", x, y), // used as a pattern
            }
        }
    }
    #}
