+// Checks that the following does not ICE.
+//
+// Previously, this test ICEs when the `unused_must_use` lint is suppressed via the combination of
+// `-A warnings` and `--cap-lints=warn`, because:
+//
+// - Its lint diagnostic struct `UnusedDef` implements `LintDiagnostic` manually and in the impl
+//   `def_path_str` was called (which calls `trimmed_def_path`, which will produce a
+//   `must_produce_diag` ICE if a trimmed def path is constructed but never emitted in a diagnostic
+//   because it is expensive to compute).
+// - A `LintDiagnostic` has a `decorate_lint` method which decorates a `Diag` with lint-specific
+//   information. This method is wrapped by a `decorate` closure in `TyCtxt` diagnostic emission
+//   machinery, and the `decorate` closure called as late as possible.
+// - `decorate`'s invocation is delayed as late as possible until `lint_level` is called.
+// - If a lint's corresponding diagnostic is suppressed (to be effectively allow at the final
+//   emission time) via `-A warnings` or `--cap-lints=allow` (or `-A warnings` + `--cap-lints=warn`
+//   like in this test case), `decorate` is still called and a diagnostic is still constructed --
+//   but the diagnostic is never eventually emitted, triggering the aforementioned
+//   `must_produce_diag` ICE due to use of `trimmed_def_path`.
