disallowed_names triggers within external macro generated code

[Nemo157]

Summary

disallowed_names triggers within external macro generated code. I noticed this when trying to remove err from a crate as it is used within syn::parse_macro_input!.

Lint Name

disallowed_names

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#![deny(clippy::disallowed_names)]

#[proc_macro]
pub fn foo(input: proc_macro::TokenStream) -> proc_macro::TokenStream {
    let output = input.clone();
    let _ = syn::parse_macro_input!(input as syn::DeriveInput);
    output
}

with the config:

disallowed-names = ["err"]

I saw this happen:

error: use of a disallowed/placeholder name `err`
 --> src/lib.rs:6:13
  |
6 |     let _ = syn::parse_macro_input!(input as syn::DeriveInput);
  |             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

note: the lint level is defined here
 --> src/lib.rs:1:9
  |
1 | #![deny(clippy::disallowed_names)]
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  = note: this error originates in the macro `syn::parse_macro_input` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

I expected to see this happen:

No error since the identifier is within an external macro.

Just happened across a simpler repro:

#[derive(Debug)] pub struct Foo;

with config

disallowed-names = ["f"]

gives

warning: use of a disallowed/placeholder name `f`
 --> src/lib.rs:1:10

1 | #[derive(Debug)] pub struct Foo;
  |          ^^^^^
