Looks good; left a few suggestions for improvement.

nikomatsakis · 2016-10-17T17:34:02Z

Nit: probably we want:
"use of deprecated attribute: `{}`"// ^ ^ note ticks
right?

Also, let's link the deprecation to a tracking issue

This follows the format for deprecated items. That probably should have back ticks too (added), but we don't have the tracking issue number anywhere so we can't link to it very easily.

Well for deprecated items we give a reason, right? I imagined adding the issue number (or maybe just a string) to the Deprecated variant of Stability, in any case.

nikomatsakis · 2016-10-17T17:34:36Z

Nit: this seems mega-inefficient...but probably it doesn't matter as there aren't that many attributes, and that table ain't that long, I guess?

At minimum we could filter out the list of deprecations once rather than per attribute =)

nikomatsakis · 2016-10-17T17:35:40Z

why exclude Stability from the Debug printout?

I'm inclined not to backport at this point. Not because it's harmful per se but just because we can just push deprecation back one cycle, so why not? What do you think @nrc?

nrc · 2016-10-25T17:53:24Z

@nikomatsakis yeah, it is getting kind of late into the cycle for a backport.

nikomatsakis · 2016-10-25T20:05:52Z

SergioBenitez · 2016-12-11T06:47:59Z

I'd like to request that this deprecation be reverted, and I plan on submitting a PR to do so. This deprecation penalizes developers that write multiple types of syntax extensions instead of only custom derives, and it seems unnecessary while macros 2.0 are still some time away.

At present, it is possible to have a single codegen crate that implements custom attributes, custom derives, and procedural macros. All of these syntax extensions can be imported into a project with:

#![feature(plugin, custom_derive)]#![plugin(codegen_crate)]

With this deprecation, however, this is no longer possible.

The alternative, of course, is to use macros 1.1. But custom derives via macros 1.1 must be implemented in a separate crate of type proc-macro. As a result, a second crate must be created. This means that a project using custom derives and custom attributes or procedural macros must implement syntax extensions in two different crates, and users using that project must depend on both crates and import the syntax extensions in two different ways:

#![feature(plugin)]#![plugin(codegen_crate)]#[macro_use]externcrate derive_crate;

I believe this will lead to user confusion: syntax extensions are now coming from two different crates, and they must be imported via completely different mechanisms. While before a single declaration brought in all syntax extensions, now two different declarations are used to bring in syntax extensions.

This is also significantly more unergonomic for the developer. This is because it is no longer feasible to easily share code between custom derives and other syntax extensions. The work-arounds are to have one create depend on the other, pushing logic to one "master" crate, or to create a third crate that contains the shared logic. Clearly, neither are as ergonomic as the existing implementation.

All of this issues will likely be ameliorated by the unification macros 2.0 promises to bring. But macros 2.0 won't land in a nightly release any time soon, and they won't be stabilized until quite some time after that. So why deprecate this unnecessarily early? It penalizes developers that write multiple types of syntax extensions. We should keep this around until macros 2.0 are within reach of stabilization.
