[PATCH 1/8] rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: filter non-`#[cfg]` attr in generated code

From: Gary Guo

Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 13:24:21 EST


From: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@xxxxxxxxxx>

When using a macro with custom attributes in a `#[pin_data]` struct it
can mess up the generated code. The generated code needs nothing more than
the `#[cfg]` attribute, thus strip away all other attributes.

[ Rebased and updated to only include `#[cfg]` instead of both `#[cfg]` and
`#[doc]`; doc is not needed for the generated hidden items. - Gary ]
