Macros for a More Productive Rust
summary
Shows concrete macro techniques: reproduces an as_bytes trait impl for every integer type with a single macro, demonstrates recursive token‑tree parsing and repetition patterns, and uses internal rules plus a tt‑mantra to process tokens one at a time. Mentions tooling like cargo expand and the Rust playground, the paste crate to synthesize identifiers, syn/quote for proc macros, examples like serde/derive, binread, inline_python, skyline_hook (binary function patching), and cpp_inherit (DWARF/vtable generation via GCC).
