Description
While debugging roignpar/optfield#4 I noticed that attribute macros only have access to attributes defined after them. As all the documentation I could find on the subject states that "The second TokenStream is the rest of the item including other attributes on the item", I thought this could be a bug since order of attributes is never mentioned.
It might as well just be missing documentation(?).
I tried this code:
#[before]
#[after]
struct Item;
I expected to see this happen: if after
is an attribute macro it would receive #[before]
as part of it's item TokenStream
.
Instead, this happened: it doesn't.
I initially thought this had something to do with syn
: dtolnay/syn#1452
