@moatom what are you trying to do here? This is the command to approve PRs.

@tgross35 thx. I wanted to restart CI just in case because this PR compiles locally.

moatom · 2025-11-01T09:32:30Z

@dtolnay I've resolved all of the problems. Could you please confirm when you have a moment?

library/proc_macro/src/quote.rs

            match tree {
-                TokenTree::Group(tt) => {
+                TokenTree::Group(ref tt) => {
                    // Handles repetition by expanding `$( CONTENTS ) SEP_OPT *` to `{ REP_EXPANDED }`.


The repetition syntax is supposed to be $(CONTENTS) SEP *, like inside macro_rules. Not $[CONTENTS] SEP * and not ${CONTENTS} SEP *, and especially not $ CONTENTS SEP * with Delimiter::None. Please add tests for these.

Please add tests for these.

I think it is impossible to prepare it for Delimiter::None.

It can be tested by calling quote! from a macro_rules macro.

macro_rules! do_quote { ($dollar:tt $content:expr) => { proc_macro::quote!($dollar $content *) }; } let arr = [0; 2]; eprintln!("{}", do_quote!($ f!($arr)));

On current nightly this nonsensically prints f! (0i32) f! (0i32).

-                    minimal_quote!((@ TokenTree::Group(Group::new(Delimiter::Brace, rep_expanded)))).to_tokens(&mut tokens);
+                    consume_dollar_group_sep_star(contents.clone(), &mut iter)


Suggested change

consume_dollar_group_sep_star(contents.clone(), &mut iter)

consume_dollar_group_sep_star(contents, &mut iter)

This has not been addressed. You made a change on the same line but it is not the suggested one. There is no reason to clone the value of tt.stream(), which is already an owned TokenStream.

@dtolnay
Thank you for the review!
I've addressed your comments and left the fix commit separate for traceability.
Please let me know if it's okay to squash.

+    let arr = [1, 2, 3];

Suggested change

let _ = quote! { ${$arr}* }; //~ ERROR the trait bound `[{integer}; 3]: ToTokens` is not satisfied [E0277]

let _ = quote! { $[$arr]* }; //~ ERROR the trait bound `[{integer}; 3]: ToTokens` is not satisfied [E0277]

library/proc_macro/src/quote.rs

-            match &tree {
-                TokenTree::Punct(tt) if tt.as_char() == '$' => {
-                    if let Some(TokenTree::Ident(id)) = iter.peek() {
+        while let Some(ref tree) = iter.next() {


This is going to miss adjacent metavariables. For example this works:

let a = ['a']; let b = ['b']; eprintln!("{}", proc_macro::quote!($($a . $b)*));

but this does not:

eprintln!("{}", proc_macro::quote!($($a $b)*));

[note] This was caused by an extra iter.next();: b2ae84c#diff-6ebaa6be050b7cea1d542579c11cde3cba0942a3417c53298001f9db02a8d06dL407

 }

+/// Consume a `$( CONTENTS ) SEP *` accordingly. It handles repetition by expanding `$( CONTENTS ) SEP *` to `{ REP_EXPANDED }`.
+fn consume_dollar_group_sep_star(


This is accepting too many tokens in the "separator" in some cases.

let arr = ['a', 'b']; eprintln!("{}", proc_macro::quote!($($arr) $$ x .. false [] *));

'a' $x .. false [] 'b'

I introduced is_valid_sep_prefix to resolve this, but there might be a more elegant solution.
