Merge #5766 5766: Hacky support for fn-like proc macros r=matklad a=jonas-schievink It turns out that this is all that's needed to get something like this working: ```rust #[proc_macro] pub fn function_like_macro(_args: TokenStream) -> TokenStream { TokenStream::from_str("fn fn_success() {}").unwrap() } ``` ```rust function_like_macro!(); fn f() { fn_success(); } ``` The drawback is that it also makes this work, because there is no distinction between different proc macro kinds in the rest of r-a: ```rust #[derive(function_like_macro)] struct S {} fn f() { fn_success(); } ``` Another issue is that it seems to panic, and then panic, when using this on the rustc code base, due to some issue in the inscrutable proc macro bridge code.
