Description
Code
#[macro_export]
macro_rules! example {
($lit:expr) => {{
{}
}};
($lit:literal) => {{
unreachable!()
}};
}
fn main() {
example!(1)
}
Current output
Builds without any warnings, and the resulting binary runs without a panic.
Desired output
A warning telling me that the second macro rule is unreachable, because expr
captures the same and more than literal
.
Rationale and extra context
I think it's probably impossible to solve this for the general case, but I think it's a very helpful warning for users new to declarative macros.
