Prior to this commit, if a compiletest testcase included the text
"HELP:" or "NOTE:" (note the colons), then it would indicate to the
compiletest suite that we should verify "help" and "note" expected
messages.
This commit updates this check to also check "HELP" and "NOTE" (not the
absense of colons) so that we always verify "help" and "note" expected
messages.
This catches the case when a trait defines a default method that calls
itself, but on a type that isn't necessarily `Self`, e.g. there's no
reason that `T = Self` in the following, so the call isn't necessarily
recursive (`T` may override the call).
trait Bar {
fn method<T: Bar>(&self, x: &T) {
x.method(x)
}
}
Fixes#26333.
E.g. `fn foo() { foo() }`, or, more subtlely
impl Foo for Box<Foo+'static> {
fn bar(&self) {
self.bar();
}
}
The compiler will warn and point out the points where recursion occurs,
if it determines that the function cannot return without calling itself.
Closes#17899.
