Removing last will break my library.
#[macro_export]
macro_rules! list {
() => {
None
};
[ $x:expr, $( $y:expr ),* ] => {
{
let mut first = cons($x, &None);
let mut last = &mut first;
$(
let yet_another = cons($y, &None);
if let Some(ref mut last_inner) = last {
let last_mut = Rc::get_mut(last_inner).unwrap();
last_mut.cdr = yet_another;
last = &mut last_mut.cdr;
}
)*
first
}
}
}
This macro works as I expected because it can pass these tests.
#[test]
fn dolist() {
let mut v = vec![];
dolist!((i &cons(10, &list![20, 30, 40])) {
v.push(i.car);
});
assert_eq!(v, vec![10, 20, 30, 40]);
}
#[test]
fn turn_list_to_vec() {
assert_eq!(list_to_vec(&list![1, 2, 3]), vec![1, 2, 3]);
}
#[test]
fn count_elements() {
assert_eq!(list_len(&list![10, 20, 30]), 3);
}
However I got the warning “value assigned to last is never read.”
How can I avoid this warning?
P.S. Full code
Clippy didn’t tell anything about the macro.

To put it like this:
#[macro_export] #[allow(unused_assignments)] macro_rules! list { () => { NoneIt doesn’t work.
I would expect the following to work
#[allow(unused)] let mut last = &mut first;It doesn’t work, at least, on rustc 1.75.
I misunderstood the reason the error was showing up. It seems like using a closure fixes it though.

This works!
