## Attribute resolution
101-
102-
On all things except for items, attribute resolution is straightforward. The
103-
`cfg` and `cfg_attr` attributes are applied and only inert attributes are
104-
allowed. Each of those inert attributes then resolve to either a built-in
105-
attribute or a derive mode helper attribute. If the attribute cannot resolve to
106-
either, it is an error.

For items, attribute resolution is a bit more involved. First off, if there are
109-
any `cfg`, `cfg_attr`, or `test` attributes when not compiling tests, they are
110-
resolved first, and removed from the item. Then, each attribute is checked in
111-
the order they are written. If the attribute resolves to an inert attribute,
112-
check the next attribute. If the attribute resolves to a dynamic attribute, then
113-
perform its dynamic behavior. This will effectively replace the item with a new
114-
set of items that must go through attribute resolution from the beginning. If
115-
the attribute resolves to a macro that is not an attribute macro, it is an
116-
error. Otherwise, the attriute is not current resolveable. In this case, wait
117-
until another item brings the attribute into scope, and then recheck it. If all
118-
other items have their attributes resolved or are also waiting for attribute or
119-
derive mode resolution, it is an error. If all of the attributes are inert, then
120-
the item is finalized. If the item defines a new path for a macro, it is now
121-
available for other items.
