`#[derive()]` without traits should be ignored, not give an error, even followed by invalid item

[lucasly-ba]

code:

//@compile-flags: -frust-incomplete-and-experimental-compiler-do-not-use
#[derive()]
pub fn check_ge(a: i32, b: i32) -> bool
{
    a >= b
}

On top of #https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/pull/4211 :

a.rs:1:3: error: derive may only be applied to structs, enums and unions

I think it is normal you got an error, as you try to derive a function, which is not a struct/enum or union.

Edit: It is not as it should be ignored, as it is in master

I think we can close this one now
