Hi, thanks for reporting this, I'll look into this ASAP.

[zesterer]

Thanks. This is confusing the heck out of me. cargo expand doesn't seem to show any bizarre code generation going on.

[yoanlcq]

Whoops I didn't mean to close this yet. I've submitted a workaround here. I'd like to see if CI builds successfully as well.

The workaround was to put the structs in their own isolated module, and then define a type Point<T> = $Point<T>, then replace all refs to $Point<T> with Point<T>.

However I do think that we should report this as a bug to the relevant team; basically, an update broke the build "for free" and I suspect too few people had the same problem.

[yoanlcq]

Well this looks fixed. One AppVeyor job choked on a connection error for whatever reason. I've published version 0.12.1 with the fix, hopefully this does the trick.

About reporting the bug to the Rust repo, I wish to do it sometime soon, provided that I don't forget about it...

[zesterer]

Thanks very much for the responsive fix!
