title: "Ferrometer"
abstract: >-
  A static analysis tool for measuring Rust macro usage. Ferrometer clones a
  corpus of Rust repositories, parses every source file with tree-sitter,
  and classifies macro definitions and invocations (declarative, derive,
  attribute, function-like), tagging each as standard-library or ecosystem
  in origin and emitting per-project invocation density. It was built to
  produce the corpus-scale empirical data reported in "How Rust Projects Use
  Macros: A Large-Scale Empirical Study" (SBCARS 2026).
