linkme VS phpass

You can make the code generated by your macro add to a distributed slice from the linkme crate and you can use values from that slice at compile time.

there was linkme which i think can be used for what you describe. from your perspective you get a slice and can put functions in it at link time with an attribute macro.

@dtolnay I noticed you just archived the repos for inventory, linkme, gflags, and typetag, which I assume implies a deprecation.

An alternative to inventory which I find better for a lot of purposes: https://github.com/dtolnay/linkme

I like dtolnay's inventory or linkme crates to register items in a central list, just using decentralized annotations.

I have one for your password hashing section: https://github.com/clausehound/phpass

phpass , which implements the password algorithm used by WordPress in rust. WordPress is a reality for so many devs, and this solves a big challenge in either moving away from it, or at least handling your auth on the rust side. It's also way faster than matching running the php code, so if you're doing security scans on your password DB it can really help (eg check for a bunch of commonly used passwords, then clear + send password reset emails to those who are insecure).
