Tracking issue for macros_in_extern feature #49476

Description

@abonander

This is a tracking issue for the macros_in_extern. This feature flag enables the usage of macro invocations in extern {} blocks:

macro_rules! emit_foreign_item(
    () => (fn read(fd: int, buf: *mut u8, size: usize) -> int;)
);

extern {
    emit_foreign_item!();
}

Declarative maco, proc-macro and proc-macro-attribute invocations are allowed as well. Macro defintions, however, are not.

This feature is unstable because it was recently implemented in #49350 without an RFC. It is considered a discrepancy in macro support and not a new feature. It should be completely backwards-compatible.
