Example at: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=fc72706e6b3151479a1a454611827c50

I expected the deprecation lint to be fired on use of the wrapped function. If this is intentional behavior, I would expect a warning that the deprecated attribute is meaningless in that position.

I believe this is intentional; the attribute is applied to the macro call as opposed to the expansion thereof.

Yes, attributes applied to macro calls are eliminated during expansion of the macro.
They should be reported as unused or rejected if they have no effect on the macro call itself.

What are the attributes that do have an effect on the macro call? cfg, cfg_attr, and the lint check attributes are the only ones I can think of.

Also, something like #[rustfmt::skip].
(And macro attributes of course, but those are not lost, but rather expanded similarly to cfg and cfg_attr.)

add applicability to remaining suggestions

Fixes rust-lang#50723.

I noticed that the suggestion methods on `DiagnosticBuilder` weren't actually deprecated due to rust-lang#57679. This PR deprecates them properly and fixes the remaining usages.

There's also a PR for clippy at rust-lang/rust-clippy#3667.

The deprecated attribute seems to (now) be correctly reported as unused in the example above (as well as for edition 2021: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=f655167d9102a4464f4cc00ee9a181c0).

Is it possible it was overlooked when #50723 was fixed?

I did a quick bisect, and this was fixed by #87296. Closing.
