`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from
`rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some
closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use
rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use
rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good
reason.
This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`,
and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers in `compiler/` to
`rustc_span::`. This is a 200+ net line of code reduction, mostly
because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to
one.
doing so requires overwriting global cache entries and
generally adds significant complexity to the solver. This is
also only ever done for root goals, so it feels easier to wrap
the `evaluate_canonical_goal` in an ordinary query if
necessary.
`#[cfg]`s are frequently used to gate crate content behind cargo
features. This can lead to very confusing errors when features are
missing. For example, `serde` doesn't have the `derive` feature by
default. Therefore, `serde::Serialize` fails to resolve with a generic
error, even though the macro is present in the docs.
This commit adds a list of all stripped item names to metadata. This is
filled during macro expansion and then, through a fed query, persisted
in metadata. The downstream resolver can then access the metadata to
look at possible candidates for mentioning in the errors.
This slightly increases metadata (800k->809k for the feature-heavy
windows crate), but not enough to really matter.
This may be potentially useful for
- avoiding uses of `hir::ItemKind::Use`
- preserving documentation comments on all reexports
- preserving and checking stability/deprecation info on reexports
- all kinds of diagnostics
It partially expands crate attributes before the main expansion pass (without modifying the crate), and the produced preliminary crate attribute list is used for querying a few attributes that are required very early.
Crate-level cfg attributes are then expanded normally during the main expansion pass, like attributes on any other nodes.
Querify register_tools and post-expansion early lints
The 2 extra queries correspond to code that happen before and after macro expansion, and don't need the resolver to exist.
