Serde's derive crate does not depend on the main crate: https://docs.rs/serde_derive/latest/serde_derive/ In fact, the main crate depends on the derive crate (when the `"derive"` feature is activated), so that client code can simply depend on `serde` with the `"derive"` feature to get the derivation macros without needing to depend on another crate. As I understand the Rust macro system, depending on the crate doesn't necessarily ensure you're calling supported APIs anyway - since macros just emit tokens, AFAIK there isn't anything that checks the validity until the compiler is actually compiling the program that *uses* the macro. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
