#![feature(macro_attr)]
mod example {}
#[macro_export]
macro_rules! example {
attr() () => {
};
}
/// Check out my cool macro [`example`](crate::example!)
fn main() {}
Reproduction Steps
Run cargo doc
Expected Outcome
When there is an ambiguity in a intra-doc link when referencing a macro_rules! defined attribute macro, rustdoc's recommended fix is wrong, If applying the suggested ambiguator, it will complain about an unknown ambiguator.
I either expect attribute@ to be supported, or the suggestion be changed to macro@ which works as expected.
Actual Output
warning: incompatible link kind for `crate::example`
--> src/main.rs:13:41
|
13 | /// Check out my cool macro [`example`](crate::example!)
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this link resolved to an attribute macro, which is not a macro
|
= note: `#[warn(rustdoc::broken_intra_doc_links)]` on by default
help: to link to the attribute macro, prefix with `attribute@`
|
13 - /// Check out my cool macro [`example`](crate::example!)
13 + /// Check out my cool macro [`example`](attribute@crate::example)
|
After applying suggested fix
warning: unknown disambiguator `attribute`
--> src/main.rs:13:41

13 | /// Check out my cool macro [`example`](attribute@crate::example)
