21/// # Error reporting in proc macros
22///
23/// The correct way to report errors back to the compiler from a procedural
24/// macro is by emitting an appropriately spanned invocation of
25/// [`compile_error!`] in the generated code. This produces a better diagnostic
26/// message than simply panicking the macro.
27///
28/// [`compile_error!`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.compile_error.html
29///
30/// When parsing macro input, the [`parse_macro_input!`] macro handles the
31/// conversion to `compile_error!` automatically.
32///
33/// ```
34/// extern crate proc_macro;
35///
36/// use proc_macro::TokenStream;
37/// use syn::{parse_macro_input, AttributeArgs, ItemFn};
38///
39/// # const IGNORE: &str = stringify! {
40/// #[proc_macro_attribute]
41/// # };
42/// pub fn my_attr(args: TokenStream, input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream {
43///     let args = parse_macro_input!(args as AttributeArgs);
44///     let input = parse_macro_input!(input as ItemFn);
45///
46///     /* ... */
47///     # TokenStream::new()
48/// }
49/// ```
50///
51/// For errors that arise later than the initial parsing stage, the
52/// [`.to_compile_error()`] method can be used to perform an explicit conversion
53/// to `compile_error!`.
