Subject: [PATCH 1/4] rust: macros: add `#[macro_export_scoped]`
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 13:25:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811-macro_export_scoped-v1-1-e7782b102819@garyguo.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811-macro_export_scoped-v1-0-e7782b102819@garyguo.net>
Due to Rust macro scoping rules, macros that are exported with
`#[macro_export_scoped]` gets added to the crate root, and this causes the
crate root to get crowded with various macros.
We used a trick of `#[doc(hidden)]` + `#[doc(inline)] pub use` to make
these macros to appear to be only defined in the documentation, but this
does not actually prevent them from being referenced from crate root.
Create a macro `#[macro_export_scoped]`, that automates these definition
and re-export and also give these macro unique and non-guessable names.
