tracing-proc-macros-ink provides a working tracing integration for logging from within procedural macros. It only works in proc-macro = true crates and is nightly only.

Log records are emitted using nightly compiler diagnostics.

Requirements

This crate requires a nightly compiler.

Usage

Every top level function in your proc_macro crate should call tracing-proc-macros-ink::proc_macro_logger_default_setup() to setup the logger for the proc_macro crate. After that normal tracing logging can be used in the proc_macro crate.

Example

Check out the example crate example_proc_macro.

How to turn on logging?

By default logging is turned off.

To run it on, you need to set the RUST_LOG environment variable:

RUST_LOG=trace cargo build --workspace --bins

How to speed up the compilation?

To remove the logging calls entirely from the proc_macro crate, you can directly depend on tracing and enable the features that remove the logging calls.

Custom Logger setup

Providing a customized logging setup is trivial. Copy the code from tracing-proc-macros-ink::proc_macro_logger_default_setup() into your own crate and modify it to your needs. The default default-setup feature can be disabled with no-default-features = true to avoid enabling unnecessary tracing-subscriber features.
