[PATCH v2 0/5] rust: add `TryFrom` and `Into` derive macros

From: Jesung Yang
Date: Fri Aug 15 2025 - 01:32:48 EST


This patch series introduces derive macros for `TryFrom` and `Into`
traits.

A few enhancements were made to the custom `quote!()` macro to write
the derive macro. These include support for additional punctuation
tokens and a fix for an unused variable warning when quoting simple
forms. Detailed information about these enhancements is provided in the
relevant patches.

This series builds on the previous work [1], where the `FromPrimitive`
trait was considered too heavy for the current use cases. In response
to the emerging need for functionality similar to `ToPrimitive`, this
series also implements the `Into` derive macro.

The original discussion can be found on Zulip [2].
