Instead of hardcoding knowledge about the strip-private pass into the
rendering process we represent (some) stripped items as `ItemEnum::StrippedItem`.
Rustdoc will, for example, generate redirect pages for public items
contained in private modules which have been re-exported to somewhere
externally reachable - this will now not only work for the `strip-private`
pass, but for other passes as well, such as the `strip-hidden` pass.
This ensures that all external traits are run through the same filters that the
rest of the AST goes through, stripping hidden function as necessary.
Closes#13698
Change to resolve and update compiler and libs for uses.
[breaking-change]
Enum variants are now in both the value and type namespaces. This means that
if you have a variant with the same name as a type in scope in a module, you
will get a name clash and thus an error. The solution is to either rename the
type or the variant.
The implementation essentially desugars during type collection and AST
type conversion time into the parameter scheme we have now. Only fully
qualified names--e.g. `<T as Foo>::Bar`--are supported.
methods.
This paves the way to associated items by introducing an extra level of
abstraction ("impl-or-trait item") between traits/implementations and
methods. This new abstraction is encoded in the metadata and used
throughout the compiler where appropriate.
There are no functional changes; this is purely a refactoring.
This commit hooks rustdoc into the stability index infrastructure in two
ways:
1. It looks up stability levels via the index, rather than by manual
attributes.
2. It adds stability level information throughout rustdoc output, rather
than just at the top header. In particular, a stability color (with
mouseover text) appears next to essentially every item that appears
in rustdoc's HTML output.
Along the way, the stability index code has been lightly refactored.
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.
Removes old rustdoc, moves rustdoc_ng into its place instead (plus drops the _ng
suffix). Also shreds all reference to rustdoc_ng from the Makefile rules.
