Depends on #74489 and should not be merged before that PR. Merged 🎉
Depends on #75916 and should not be merged before. Merged

Fixes #75305.

This does a lot of different things 😆.

  • Add PerNS::into_iter() so I didn't have to keep rewriting hacks around it. Also add PerNS::iter() for consistency. Let me know if this should be impl IntoIterator instead.
  • Make ResolutionFailure an enum instead of a unit variant. This was most of the changes: everywhere that said ErrorKind::ResolutionFailure now has to say why the link failed to resolve.
  • Store the resolution in case of an anchor failure. Previously this was implemented as variants on AnchorFailure which was prone to typos and had inconsistent output compared to the rest of the diagnostics.
  • Turn some Errors into unwrap() or panic()s, because they're rustdoc bugs and not user error. These have comments as to why they're bugs (in particular this would have caught Intra-doc links are unresolved on pub use _ as _ items #76073 as a bug a while ago).
  • If an item is not in scope at all, say the first segment in the path that failed to resolve
  • If an item exists but not in the current namespaces, say that and suggests linking to that namespace.
  • If there is a partial resolution for an item (part of the segments resolved, but not all of them), say the partial resolution and why the following segment didn't resolve.
  • Add the DefId of associated items to kind_side_channel so it can be used for diagnostics (tl;dr of the hack: the rest of rustdoc expects the id of the item, but for diagnostics we need the associated item).
  • No longer suggests escaping the brackets for every link that failed to resolve; this was pretty obnoxious. Now it only suggests \[ \] if no segment resolved and there is no :: in the link.
  • Add Suggestion, which says what to prefix the link with, not just 'prefix with the item kind'.

Places where this is currently buggy:

All outdated

1. When the link has the wrong namespace: Now fixed.

/// [type@S::h]
impl S {
	pub fn h() {}
}

/// [type@T::g]
pub trait T {
	fn g() {}
}
error: unresolved link to `T::g`
  --> /home/joshua/rustc/src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.rs:53:6
   |
53 | /// [type@T::g]
   |      ^^^^^^^^^
   |
   = note: this link partially resolves to the trait `T`,
   = note: `T` has no field, variant, or associated item named `g`

error: unresolved link to `S::h`
  --> /home/joshua/rustc/src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.rs:48:6
   |
48 | /// [type@S::h]
   |      ^^^^^^^^^
   |
   = note: this link partially resolves to the struct `S`,
   = note: `S` has no field, variant, or associated item named `h`

Instead it should suggest changing the disambiguator, the way it currently does for macros:

error: unresolved link to `S`
  --> /home/joshua/rustc/src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.rs:38:6
   |
38 | /// [S!]
   |      ^^ help: to link to the unit struct, use its disambiguator: `value@S`
   |
   = note: this link resolves to the unit struct `S`, which is not in the macro namespace
  1. Associated items for values. It says that the value isn't in scope; instead it should say that values can't have associated items. Fixed.
error: unresolved link to `f::A`
  --> /home/joshua/rustc/src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.rs:14:6
   |
14 | /// [f::A]
   |      ^^^^
   |
   = note: no item named `f` is in scope
   = help: to escape `[` and `]` characters, add '\' before them like `\[` or `\]`

This is mostly fixed, it now says

warning: unresolved link to `f::A`
 --> /home/joshua/test-rustdoc/f.rs:1:6
  |
1 | /// [f::A]
  |      ^^^^
  |
  = note: this link partially resolves to the function `f`
  = note: `f` is a function, not a module

'function, not a module' seems awfully terse when what I actually mean is ':: isn't allowed here', though.

It looks a lot nicer now, it says

error: unresolved link to `f::A`
  --> /home/joshua/rustc/src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.rs:13:6
   |
13 | /// [f::A]
   |      ^^^^
   |
   = note: `f` is a function, not a module or type, and cannot have associated items
  1. I'm also not very happy with the second note for this error:
``` error: unresolved link to `S::A` --> /home/joshua/rustc/src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.rs:19:6 | 19 | /// [S::A] | ^^^^ | = note: this link partially resolves to the struct `S`, = note: `S` has no field, variant, or associated item named `A` ```

but I'm not sure how better to word it.

I ended up going with 'no A in S' to match rustc_resolve but that seems terse as well.

This now says

error: unresolved link to `S::A`
  --> /home/joshua/rustc/src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.rs:17:6
   |
17 | /// [S::A]
   |      ^^^^
   |
   = note: the struct `S` has no field or associated item named `A`

which I think looks pretty good :)

  1. This is minor, but it would be nice to say that path wasn't found instead of the full thing:
error: unresolved link to `path::to::nonexistent::module`
 --> /home/joshua/rustc/src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.rs:8:6
  |
8 | /// [path::to::nonexistent::module]
  |      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It will now look at most 3 paths up (so it reports path::to as not in scope), but it doesn't work with arbitrarily many paths.

I recommend only reviewing the last few commits - the first 7 are all from #74489. Rebased so that only the relevant commits are shown. Let me know if I should squash the history some more.

Left myself some comments 😆

This is both more specific and easier to read.
Previously, this called `check_full_res` for values and types, but not
macros. This would result in not showing when there was a partial
resolution for a parent of the item.

This now calls `check_full_res`. Additionally, it checks if there was a
disambiguator, and if so, says that specific kind wasn't found instead
of saying generically 'associated item'.
Moves this detection into `resolution_failure` to avoid doing
unnecessary work and make the control flow a little easier to work with.

ping @estebank, it's been a week or so. I know this is a bit of a giant PR - would it be easier to only review the diagnostics themselves and I can get a rustdoc member to review the logic changes?

When it comes to the diagnostic output, the main change I'd make is turn the new notes into the main span_label. Ideally, we would create a new span for cases like [foo::bar] to point only at the part of the path that is problematic, be it foo or bar, but that can be addressed later.

src/test/rustdoc-ui/intra-link-errors.stderr Outdated Show resolved Hide resolved
This decreases the size of the `Result`s being returned,
improving performance in the common case.
This puts the error message closer to the link, making it easier to see
what went wrong.
'not in scope' -> 'not in `module`'
