Issues using macro rules macros and negative numbers

[ArifRoktim]

Ok so I stayed up all night trying to debug a macro_rules! macro I've been trying to make. I've come up with a MRE for my problem:

Rust Playground

#[macro_export]
macro_rules! nums {
    () => {};

    ($x: expr $(,)?) => {
        dbg!($x)
    };
    
    ($x: expr, $($tail:tt),* $(,)?) => {
        dbg!($x);
        nums!( $($tail, )* );
    };
}

fn main() {
    nums!(-3.2, 2.5);
    nums!(6.2, -0.2, 2.3);
    nums!(6.2, 0.2, -2.3);
    nums!(-2.3, -2.4);
}

Compile error:

   |                  ^^^ no rules expected this token in macro call

error: could not compile `playground` due to 3 previous errors

The macro fails to compile if you use negative numbers, but it'll work if the only negative number is the first argument...?? I am going insane.

Help would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

In the third rule, change tt to expr. A "-" is parsed as a separate token (token tree), so the matcher will immediately expect a comma to follow it.

Alternatively, don't use comma-delimited repetition for your tail:

macro_rules! nums {
    () => {};

    ($x: expr $(,)?) => {
        dbg!($x)
    };
    
    ($x: expr, $($tail:tt)*) => {
        dbg!($x);
        nums!( $($tail)* );
    };
}
