An Update on Proc Macros

Rust toolchains newer than 2022-07-29 contain a proc macro server that should be compatible with macros built by the matching compiler. Since today’s release, the server is automatically detected by and used rust-analyzer. This means that, from now on, proc macros will keep working when the proc_macro crate changes.

For more details, you can read @fasterthanlime’s blog post.

New Features

#12864, #12881 resolve derive helper attributes in IDE layer:
#12858, #12878 add rust-analyzer-proc-macro-srv binary and use it if found in sysroot.
#12856 spawn a proc-macro-srv instance per Cargo workspace.
