Let arguments be able to reference their macro

2026-07-07T21:51:17Z

The enum type for macro arguments has been adjusted so it accepts a String. This is then used to store the name of the macro for this argument. This is a bit of a circlejerk, but in the end it stems from the fact that macro arguments were sort of a hack defined ad-hoc each time they were needed. That being said, if we want to report macro arguments being unused, we need to reference the actual macro definition, not the macro call. Signed-off-by: Miquel Sabaté Solà

Preserve the 'accessed' member on macro arguments

Macro arguments get tampered with every time a new call has to be bundled. Deep down this is done by cloning the underlying object, but this resets any increase on the 'accessed' member, giving always the impression that macro arguments are never accessed. Fix this by at least preserving this member when cloning a macro argument. Note that this is neither the most elegant solution, and probably not the most correct. As in, it will probably get into a non-precise count after some calls. But at least it will be a non-zero value, which is more than enough to what this is actually used for.
