Albab-Hasan da7b8bbec2 fix: detect E0804 when casting raw ptr-to-dyn adds auto traits
the `check_ptr_ptr_cast` function had an early return when the source and
destination dyn trait objects shared the same principal trait def id:

    if src_principal == dst_principal {
        return Ok(());
    }

this bypassed all three remaining checks that the code comment explicitly
listed as required: generic argument equality, projection equality, and
the auto-trait superset check. as a result, casts like
`*mut dyn Trait as *mut (dyn Trait + Send)` were silently accepted
instead of emitting E0804.

the fix removes the early return. `CastError::PtrPtrAddingAutoTraits` and
its diagnostic were already implemented — they just couldn't be reached.
the supertrait case (`trait Trait: Send`) continues to work correctly
because the auto-trait check already accounts for implied auto traits via
supertrait elaboration.

rust-analyzer logo

rust-analyzer is a language server that provides IDE functionality for writing Rust programs. You can use it with any editor that supports the Language Server Protocol (VS Code, Vim, Emacs, Zed, etc).

rust-analyzer features include go-to-definition, find-all-references, refactorings and code completion. rust-analyzer also supports integrated formatting (with rustfmt) and integrated diagnostics (with rustc and clippy).

Internally, rust-analyzer is structured as a set of libraries for analyzing Rust code. See Architecture in the manual.
