Panic: non-eager expansion without a parent scope

[zicklag]

I tried this code:

macro_rules! breakme {
    ($config:stmt; $($tokens:literal)*) => {
        #[cfg($config)]
        $($tokens)*
    };
}

fn main() {
    macro_rules! unix {
        () => {
            not(unix)
        };
    }

    breakme!(unix!(); "test");
}

I didn't actually expect it to work ( yet ), but it shouldn't have panicked.

Likely a duplicate of #55414.

[spastorino]

This was discussed briefly on Zulip.

Removing I-nominated, prioritizing as P-medium.

@rustbot ping cleanup

Would be nice if we figure out if this is a dupe or not.

Hey Cleanup Crew ICE-breakers! This bug has been identified as a good
"Cleanup ICE-breaking candidate". In case it's useful, here are some
instructions for tackling these sorts of bugs. Maybe take a look?
Thanks! <3

I'm not sure how exactly to prove that this is the same bug but, at the very least, I've compiled both on rustc 1.42.0 (b8cedc004 2020-03-09) and they both produce the exact same stack backtrace. It seems the bug is both present on stable and nightly.

However, the following thing is a difference between both bugs.

No compiler message

In the case of #55414, the compiler doesn't show any message (except than rustc panic). However, for #70624, the following compiler message is displayed before rustc panics.

error: expected unsuffixed literal or identifier, found `unix!()`

[pickfire]

I got the same error message with doc and building on top of another macro.

macro_rules! breakme {
    ( $name:ident ) => { breakme!($name, stringify!($name), $); };
    ( $name:ident, $name_str:expr, $d:tt ) => {
        #[doc = $name_str]
        #[macro_export]
        macro_rules! $name {
            ( $format:expr, $d( $arg:tt ),+ ) => {
                format!($format, $d( $arg ),+);
            }
        }
    }
}

breakme!(hello);

Closing as a duplicate of #55414.

[pickfire]

@petrochenkov But that have a different error.

[petrochenkov]

Which one?
I only see the "non-eager expansion without a parent scope" one, which is a known issue with known reasons.
