# embassy-macros
An [Embassy](https://embassy.dev) project.
Macros for creating the main entry point and tasks that can be spawned by `embassy-executor`.
NOTE: The macros are re-exported by the `embassy-executor` crate which should be used instead of adding a direct dependency on the `embassy-macros` crate.
## Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
The `task` and `main` macros require the type alias impl trait (TAIT) nightly feature in order to compile.

/// The following restrictions apply:
///
/// * The function must be declared `async`.
/// * The function must not use generics.
/// * The optional `pool_size` attribute must be 1 or greater.

///
/// Declaring a task taking no arguments:
///
/// ``` rust
/// #[embassy_executor::task]
/// async fn mytask() {
/// // Function body
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Declaring a task with a given pool size:
///
/// ``` rust
/// #[embassy_executor::task(pool_size = 4)]
/// async fn mytask() {
/// // Function body
