Mostly to fix ui/issues/issue-37311-type-length-limit/issue-37311.rs.
Most parts of the compiler can handle deeply nested types with a lot
of duplicates just fine, but some parts still attempt to naively
traverse type tree.
Before such problems were caught by type length limit check,
but now these places will have to be changed to handle
duplicated types gracefully.
Currently, the def span of a funtion encompasses the entire function
signature and body. However, this is usually unnecessarily verbose - when we are
pointing at an entire function in a diagnostic, we almost always want to
point at the signature. The actual contents of the body tends to be
irrelevant to the diagnostic we are emitting, and just takes up
additional screen space.
This commit changes the `def_span` of all function items (freestanding
functions, `impl`-block methods, and `trait`-block methods) to be the
span of the signature. For example, the function
```rust
pub fn foo<T>(val: T) -> T { val }
```
now has a `def_span` corresponding to `pub fn foo<T>(val: T) -> T`
(everything before the opening curly brace).
Trait methods without a body have a `def_span` which includes the
trailing semicolon. For example:
```rust
trait Foo {
fn bar();
}```
the function definition `Foo::bar` has a `def_span` of `fn bar();`
This makes our diagnostic output much shorter, and emphasizes
information that is relevant to whatever diagnostic we are reporting.
We continue to use the full span (including the body) in a few of
places:
* MIR building uses the full span when building source scopes.
* 'Outlives suggestions' use the full span to sort the diagnostics being
emitted.
* The `#[rustc_on_unimplemented(enclosing_scope="in this scope")]`
attribute points the entire scope body.
* The 'unconditional recursion' lint uses the full span to show
additional context for the recursive call.
All of these cases work only with local items, so we don't need to
add anything extra to crate metadata.
This improves the output for issue #72577, but there's still more work
to be done.
Currently, an overflow error during monomorphization results in an error
that points at the function we were unable to monomorphize. However, we
don't point at the call that caused the monomorphization to happen. In
the overflow occurs in a large recursive function, it may be difficult
to determine where the issue is.
This commit tracks and `Span` information during collection of
`MonoItem`s, which is used when emitting an overflow error. `MonoItem`
itself is unchanged, so this only affects
`src/librustc_mir/monomorphize/collector.rs`
