Correctly expanded macro_rules! still throws error

[Ofenhed]

Code

macro_rules! parse {
  ($var:expr => $varname:ident: $type:ty) => {
    let $varname: $type = $var.parse().map_err(|x| std::io::Error::new(std::io::ErrorKind::Other, x))?;
  };
  (($($args:tt)+) $(,)?) => {
    parse!($($args)+)
  };
  (($($args:tt)+), $($rest:tt)+) => {
    parse!($($args)+);
    parse!($($rest)+)
  };
  () => {};
}
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let var1 = "50";
    let var2 = "60";
    trace_macros!(true);
    parse!((var1 => newvar1: u8), (var2 => newvar2: u8)); // Doesn't work
    //parse!(var1 => newvar1: u8); // Works
    //parse!(var2 => newvar2: u8); // Works
    println!("{}", newvar1);
    Ok(())
}

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

Note that the trace_macros! macro shows the correct output of the macro, yet the compilation fails.

Backtrace

No compiler crash; no additional information.

[ojeda]

Not an ICE, from the looks of it.

[Ofenhed]

Sorry, I see not what ICE:s are only for when the compiler panics. Should I reopen this as a Rust bug, or can someone change the labels?

[ojeda]

You can ask the bot to do it for you :) For instance:

@rustbot label: -I-ICE
