Cross crate links can target items which are not rendered in the documentation.
If the item is reexported at a higher level, the destination of the link (a
concatenation of the fully qualified name) may actually lead to nowhere. This
fixes this problem by altering rustdoc to emit pages which redirect to the local
copy of the reexported structure.

This commit adds support in rustdoc to recognize the `#[doc(primitive = "foo")]`
attribute. This attribute indicates that the current module is the "owner" of
the primitive type `foo`. For rustdoc, this means that the doc-comment for the
module is the doc-comment for the primitive type, plus a signal to all
downstream crates that hyperlinks for primitive types will be directed at the
crate containing the `#[doc]` directive.
Additionally, rustdoc will favor crates closest to the one being documented
which "implements the primitive type". For example, documentation of libcore
links to libcore for primitive types, but documentation for libstd and beyond
all links to libstd for primitive types.
This change involves no compiler modifications, it is purely a rustdoc change.
The landing pages for the primitive types primarily serve to show a list of
implemented traits for the primitive type itself.
The primitive types documented includes both strings and slices in a semi-ad-hoc
way, but in a way that should provide at least somewhat meaningful
documentation.
Closes#14474
When inlining documentation across crates, primitive implementors of traits were
not shown. This commit tweaks the infrastructure to treat primitive and
Path-like impls the same way, displaying all implementors everywhere.

Instead of one giant function, this breaks it up into several smaller functions
which have explicit dependencies among one another.
There are no code changes as a result of this commit.
Previously this was adding one-too-many `..`s to the path for the
`gotosrc=...` links for local crates. Also, the `root_path` already ends
in `/`s so a trailing / shouldn't be added after the root (some servers
treat `...//...` different to `.../...` including the one running
doc.rust-lang.org).
These links work by hyperlinking back to the actual documentation page with a
query parameter which will be recognized and then auto-click the appropriate
[src] link.
Within the documentation for a crate, all hyperlinks to reexported items don't
go across crates, but rather to the items in the crate itself. This will allow
references to Option in the standard library to link to the standard library's
Option, instead of libcore's.
This does mean that other crate's links for Option will still link to libcore's
Option.
This commit teaches rustdoc to inline the documentation for the destination of a
`pub use` statement across crate boundaries. This is intended for the standard
library's facade to show the fact that the facade is just an implementation
detail rather than the api of the standard library itself.
This starts out by inlining traits and functions, but more items will come soon.
The current drawback of this system is that hyperlinks across crates sill go to
the original item's definition rather than the reexported location.
This commit alters rustdoc to crawl the metadata of upstream libraries in order
to fill in default methods for traits implemented in downstream crates. This,
for example, documents the `insert` function on hash maps.
This is a fairly lossy extraction from the metadata. Documentation and
attributes are lost, but they aren't used anyway. Unfortunately, argument names
are also lost because they are not present in the metadata. Source links are
also lost because the spans are not serialized.
While not perfect, it appears that presenting this documentation through rustdoc
is much better than nothing, so I wanted to land this to allow iteration on it
later on.
Right now, when you look in the "Implementors" section for traits, you only see
implementors within that crate. This commit modifies that section to include
implementors from neighboring crates as well.
For example, the Container trait currently says that it is only implemented by
strings and slices, but it is in fact implemented by nearly all containers.
Implementation-wise, this change generates an "implementors cache" similarly to
the search index where each crate will append implementors to the files. When
the page for a trait is loaded, it will load its specific cache file, rendering
links for all upstream types which implement the trait.
1. Wherever the `buf` field of a `Formatter` was used, the `Formatter` is used
instead.
2. The usage of `write_fmt` is minimized as much as possible, the `write!` macro
is preferred wherever possible.
3. Usage of `fmt::write` is minimized, favoring the `write!` macro instead.
This commit brings the local_data api up to modern rust standards with a few key
improvements:
* The `pop` and `set` methods have been combined into one method, `replace`
* The `get_mut` method has been removed. All interior mutability should be done
through `RefCell`.
* All functionality is now exposed as a method on the keys themselves. Instead
of importing std::local_data, you now use "key.replace()" and "key.get()".
* All closures have been removed in favor of RAII functionality. This means that
get() and get_mut() no long require closures, but rather return
Option<SmartPointer> where the smart pointer takes care of relinquishing the
borrow and also implements the necessary Deref traits
* The modify() function was removed to cut the local_data interface down to its
bare essentials (similarly to how RefCell removed set/get).
[breaking-change]
This commit removes the inherited documentation from type pages. This generally
just clutters up the page when you can click through to the trait itself to get
all the meaty documentation.

These fonts were moved into place by rust's makefiles, but rustdoc is widely
used outside of rustc itself. This moves the fonts into the rustdoc binary,
similarly to the other static assets, and writes them to the output location
whenever rustdoc generates documentation.

It reflected the obsolete syntax `use a, b, c;` and did not make past the parser (though it was a non-fatal error so we can continue). This legacy affected many portions of rustc and rustdoc as well, so this PR cleans them up altogether.
As a side effect of cleanup, we now have `SCHEMA_VERSION` in `rustdoc::clean` (instead of the crate root), so it has a better chance to be updated when `rustdoc::clean` gets updated.

The fields of tuple structs recently gained the ability to have privacy
associated with them, but rustdoc was not updated accodingly. This moves the
struct field filtering to the rendering phase in order to preserve the ordering
of struct fields to allow tuple structs to have their private fields printed as
underscores.

Since the items roughly follow the lexical order, there are
many consecutive items with the same path value which can be
easily compressed.
For the library and compiler docs, this commit decreases
the index size by 26% and 6% before and after gzip, respectively.
`buildIndex` JS function recovers them into the original object form.
This greatly reduces the size of the uncompressed search index (27%),
while this effect is less visible after gzipped (~5%).
