    pub fn is_available() -> bool

Expand description

Determines whether proc_macro has been made accessible to the currently running program.

The proc_macro crate is only intended for use inside the implementation of procedural macros. All the functions in this crate panic if invoked from outside of a procedural macro, such as from a build script or unit test or ordinary Rust binary.

With consideration for Rust libraries that are designed to support both macro and non-macro use cases, `proc_macro::is_available()` provides a non-panicking way to detect whether the infrastructure required to use the API of proc_macro is presently available. Returns true if invoked from inside of a procedural macro, false if invoked from any other binary.
