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.

There is currently no way to query all impls for a type from an external crate,
and with primitive types in play this is also quite difficult. Instead of
filtering, just suck in all impls from upstream crates into the local AST, and
have them get stripped later.
This will allow population of all implementations of traits for primitive types,
as well as filling in some corner cases with inlining documentation in other
cases.
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.
This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more
details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord}
or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}.

We already have into_string(), but it was implemented in terms of
into_owned(). Flip it around and deprecate into_owned().
Remove a few spurious calls to .into_owned() that existed in libregex
and librustdoc.

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).
This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.
Closes#12019

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.
There's a fair number of attributes that have to be whitelisted since
they're either looked for by rustdoc, in trans, or as needed. These can
be cleaned up in the future.
All of these features have been obsolete since February 2014, where most have
been obsolete since 2013. There shouldn't be any more need to keep around the
parser hacks after this length of time.
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.
