Attribute macros shall neither be declared nor invoked. Prefer less powerful macros that only extend source code. Rationale: rat_X8uCF5yx7Mpo status: draft parent needs: gui_13XWp3mb0g2P Attribute macros are able to rewrite items entirely or in other unexpected ways which can cause confusion and introduce errors. Non-Compliant Example: non_compl_ex_eW374waRPbeL status: draft parent needs: gui_13XWp3mb0g2P The #[test] attribute macro transforms the function into a test harness entry point. no run #[test] // non-compliant: attribute macro rewrites the item fn example_test() { assert!(true); } Compliant Example: compl_ex_Mg8ePOgbGJeW status: draft parent needs: gui_13XWp3mb0g2P Explanation of code example. #[allow(dead_code)] fn example_function() { // Compliant implementation }
