What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Rust crate providing the paste! macro for concatenating identifiers at compile time, enabling macros to define new items with pasted names. It works on stable Rust 1.31+ but is no longer maintained.

Use cases

  • concatenate identifiers in rust macros
  • generate getter methods with dynamic names
  • define new items with pasted identifiers
  • replace concat_idents in stable rust
  • build macro_rules macros that create named functions

When to choose

  • you need identifier pasting in macro_rules macros on stable Rust
  • you're maintaining an existing crate that already depends on paste

When to avoid

  • starting a new project, since the crate is unmaintained
  • you can use nightly concat_idents or newer alternatives
  • you only need to reference existing identifiers, not define new ones
