Replacing match branch with nothing via a macro causes unhelpful diagnostic #36716

Closed

Description

@ctz

Sample code:

macro_rules! warn (
    ($($tt:tt)*) => ()
);

fn main() {
    match 5 {
        5 => warn!("foo"),
        _ => (),
    };
}

Experienced behaviour: this causes this diagnostic and no other output:

error: expected expression, found `<eof>`

Expected behaviour: diagnostic with line/column information pointing to warn! expansion site. For example, if I manually expand the macro the diagnostic is:

error: expected expression, found `,`
 --> <anon>:7:14
  |>
7 |>         5 => ,
  |>              ^

error: aborting due to 2 previous errors
