rustdoc: handle cross-crate RPITITs correctly Filter out the internal associated types synthesized during the desugaring of RPITITs, they really shouldn't show up in the docs. This also fixes #113929 since we're no longer invoking `is_impossible_associated_item` (renamed from `is_impossible_method`) which cannot handle them (leading to an ICE). I don't think it makes sense to try to make `is_impossible_associated_item` handle this exotic kind of associated type (CC original author `@compiler-errors).` @ T-rustdoc reviewers, currently I'm throwing out ITIT assoc tys before cleaning assoc tys at each usage-site. I'm thinking about making `clean_middle_assoc_item` return an `Option<_>` instead and doing the check inside of it to prevent any call sites from forgetting the check for ITITs. Since I wasn't sure if you would like that approach, I didn't go through with it. Let me know what you think. <details><summary>Explanation on why <code>is_impossible_associated_item(itit_assoc_ty)</code> leads to an ICE</summary> Given the following code: ```rs pub trait Trait { fn def<T>() -> impl Default {} } impl Trait for () {} ``` The generated associated type looks something like (simplified): ```rs type {opaque#0}<T>: Default = impl Default; // the name is actually `kw::Empty` but this is the `def_path_str` repr ``` The query `is_impossible_associated_item` goes through all predicates of the associated item – in this case `<T as Sized>` – to check if they contain any generic parameters from the (generic) associated type itself. For predicates that don't contain any *own* generics, it does further processing, part of which is instantiating the predicate with the generic arguments of the impl block (which is only correct if they truly don't contain any own generics since they wouldn't get instantiated this way leading to an ICE). It checks if `parent_def_id(T) == assoc_ty_def_id` to get to know if `T` is owned by the assoc ty. Unfortunately this doesn't work for ITIT assoc tys. In this case, the parent of `T` is `Trait::def` (!) which is the associated function (I'm pretty sure this is very intentional) which is of course not equal to the assoc ty `Trait::{opaque#0}`. </details> `@rustbot` label A-cross-crate-reexports |
