Research direction

Start by reviewing the proc-macro-error dependency and the linked RUSTSEC-2024-0370 advisory, then compare the listed proc-macro-error2 alternative. Done means the unmaintained dependency is no longer used and the project still builds and passes its checks.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

proc-macro-error is unmaintained

Details
Status unmaintained
Package proc-macro-error
Version 1.0.4
URL https://gitlab.com/CreepySkeleton/proc-macro-error/-/issues/20
Date 2024-09-01

proc-macro-error's maintainer seems to be unreachable, with no commits for 2 years, no releases pushed for 4 years, and no activity on the GitLab repo or response to email.

proc-macro-error also depends on syn 1.x, which may be bringing duplicate dependencies into dependant build trees.

Possible Alternative(s)

See advisory page for additional details.
