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.
Now the main span focuses on the erroneous not-a-function callee,
while showing the entire call expression is relegated to a secondary
span. In the case where the erroneous callee is itself a call, we
point out the definition, and, if the call expression spans multiple
lines, tentatively suggest a semicolon (because we suspect that the
"outer" call is actually supposed to be a tuple).
The new `bug!` assertion is, in fact, safe (`confirm_builtin_call` is
only called by `check_call`, which is only called with a first arg of
kind `ExprKind::Call` in `check_expr_kind`).
Resolves#51055.
Before this, the diagnostic errors would only point at the return type
when changing it would be a possible solution to a type error. Add a
label to the return type without a suggestion to change in order to make
the source of the expected type obvious.
Follow up to #42850, fixes#25133, fixes#41897.
Prior to this PR, when we aborted because a "critical pass" failed, we
displayed the number of errors from that critical pass. While that's the
number of errors that caused compilation to abort in *that place*,
that's not what people really want to know. Instead, always report the
total number of errors, and don't bother to track the number of errors
from the last pass that failed.
This changes the compiler driver API to handle errors more smoothly,
and therefore is a compiler-api-[breaking-change].
Fixes#42793.
