rustdoc: Populate external_traits with traits only seen in impls
This means default methods can always be found and "Important traits" will include all spotlight traits.
No longer parse it.
Remove AutoTrait variant from AST and HIR.
Remove backwards compatibility lint.
Remove coherence checks, they make no sense for the new syntax.
Remove from rustdoc.
The Generics now contain one Vec of an enum for the generic parameters,
rather than two separate Vec's for lifetime and type parameters.
Additionally, places that previously used Vec<LifetimeDef> now use
Vec<GenericParam> instead.
nll part 5
Next round of changes from the nll-master branch.
Extensions:
- we now propagate ty-region-outlives constraints out of closures and into their creator when necessary
- we fix a few ICEs that can occur by doing liveness analysis (and the resulting normalization) during type-checking
- we handle the implicit region bound that assumes that each type `T` outlives the fn body
- we handle normalization of inputs/outputs in fn signatures
Not included in this PR (will come next):
- handling `impl Trait`
- tracking causal information
- extended errors

* Visibility was missing from impl items.
* Attributes and docs were missing from consts and types in impls.
* Const default values were missing from traits.
This unifies the code that handles associated items from impls and traits.
Properly handle reexport of foreign items.
Handles `pub use` of `extern { fn, static, type }`. Also plug in some more `match` arms where handling `extern type` is reasonable.
Fixed#46098.
impl Trait Lifetime Handling
This PR implements the updated strategy for handling `impl Trait` lifetimes, as described in [RFC 1951](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1951-expand-impl-trait.md) (cc #42183).
With this PR, the `impl Trait` desugaring works as follows:
```rust
fn foo<T, 'a, 'b, 'c>(...) -> impl Foo<'a, 'b> { ... }
// desugars to
exists type MyFoo<ParentT, 'parent_a, 'parent_b, 'parent_c, 'a, 'b>: Foo<'a, 'b>;
fn foo<T, 'a, 'b, 'c>(...) -> MyFoo<T, 'static, 'static, 'static, 'a, 'b> { ... }
```
All of the in-scope (parent) generics are listed as parent generics of the anonymous type, with parent regions being replaced by `'static`. Parent regions referenced in the `impl Trait` return type are duplicated into the anonymous type's generics and mapped appropriately.
One case came up that wasn't specified in the RFC: it's possible to write a return type that contains multiple regions, neither of which outlives the other. In that case, it's not clear what the required lifetime of the output type should be, so we generate an error.
There's one remaining FIXME in one of the tests: `-> impl Foo<'a, 'b> + 'c` should be able to outlive both `'a` and `'b`, but not `'c`. Currently, it can't outlive any of them. @nikomatsakis and I have discussed this, and there are some complex interactions here if we ever allow `impl<'a, 'b> SomeTrait for AnonType<'a, 'b> { ... }`, so the plan is to hold off on this until we've got a better idea of what the interactions are here.
cc #34511.
Fixes#44727.
After this change, impl Trait existentials are
desugared to a new `abstract type` definition
paired with a set of lifetimes to apply.
In-scope generics are included as parents of the
`abstract type` generics. Parent regions are
replaced with static, and parent regions
referenced in the `impl Trait` type are duplicated
at the end of the `abstract type`'s generics.
Replace hir::TyImplTrait with TyImplTraitUniversal and
TyImplTraitExistential.
Add an ImplTraitContext enum to rustc::hir::lowering to track the kind
and allowedness of an impl Trait.
Significantly alter lowering to thread ImplTraitContext and one other
boolean parameter described below throughought much of lowering.
The other parameter is for tracking if lowering a function is in a trait
impl, as there is not enough information to otherwise know this
information during lowering otherwise.
This change also removes the checks from ast_ty_to_ty for impl trait
allowedness as they are now all taking place in HIR lowering.
DefaultImpl is a highly confusing name for what we now call auto impls,
as in `impl Send for ..`. The name auto impl is not formally decided
but for sanity anything is better than `DefaultImpl` which refers
neither to `default impl` nor to `impl Default`.
Move Generics from MethodSig to TraitItem and ImplItem
As part of `rust-impl-period/WG-compiler-traits`, we want to "lift" `Generics` from `MethodSig` into `TraitItem` and `ImplItem`. This is in preparation for adding associated type generics. (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44265#issuecomment-331172238)
Currently this change is only made in the AST. In the future, it may also impact the HIR. (Still discussing)
To understand this PR, it's probably best to start from the changes to `ast.rs` and then work your way to the other files to understand the far reaching effects of this change.
r? @nikomatsakis
In `src/libstd/primitive_docs.rs`, a `#[doc(primitive = "unit")]`
section has sat long neglected. This patch teaches rustdoc to recognize
"unit", and steals its trait implementations away from the tuple page.
let rustdoc print the crate version into docs
This PR adds a new unstable flag to rustdoc, `--crate-version`, which when present will add a new entry to the sidebar of the root module, printing the given version number:
Closes#24336
(The WIP status is because i don't want to merge this until i can get the std docs to use it, which i need help from rustbuild people to make sure i get right.)
hide internal types/traits from std docs via new #[doc(masked)] attribute
Fixes#43701 (hopefully for good this time)
This PR introduces a new parameter to the `#[doc]` attribute that rustdoc looks for on `extern crate` statements. When it sees `#[doc(masked)]` on such a statement, it hides traits and types from that crate from appearing in either the "Trait Implementations" section of many type pages, or the "Implementors" section of trait pages. This is then applied to the `libc`/`rand`/`compiler_builtins` imports in libstd to prevent those crates from creating broken links in the std docs.
Like in #43348, this also introduces a feature gate, `doc_masked`, that controls the use of this parameter.
