It’s just compile time code execution.

The difference between those macros („procedural macros“) and regular macros is that while regular macros are pretty much only templated code that is unfolded, proc macros contain code that is run at compile time, so they are more powerful but also more dangerous from a security perspective as you would expect just compiling a program to be safe.

As long as it’s annotated as such I don’t mind, even if it’s wrong. And if it’s wrong you’re more likely to get people to actually respond via a “umm but actually” type response

GPT is fairly useful but I definitely don’t trust it implicitly. Lol
