Package	proc-macro-error
Version	1.0.4

proc-macro-error's maintainer seems to be unreachable, with no commits for 2 years, no releases pushed for 4 years, and no activity on the GitLab repo or response to email.

proc-macro-error also depends on syn 1.x, which may be bringing duplicate dependencies into dependant build trees.

Possible Alternative(s)

• proc-macro-error2

See advisory page for additional details.

Need to update : https://github.com/kas-gui/impl-tools
And : https://github.com/fnichol/names that is using an old version of clap using proc-macro-error. This crate is used by https://github.com/grafana/pyroscope-rs that we use (and needs to be updated also when names will be.
