18/// # Error reporting in proc macros
19///
20/// The correct way to report errors back to the compiler from a procedural
21/// macro is by emitting an appropriately spanned invocation of
22/// [`compile_error!`] in the generated code. This produces a better diagnostic
23/// message than simply panicking the macro.
24///
25/// [`compile_error!`]: std::compile_error!
26///
27/// When parsing macro input, the [`parse_macro_input!`] macro handles the
28/// conversion to `compile_error!` automatically.
