When encountering `use foo::*;` where `foo` fails to be found, and we later
encounter resolution errors, we silence those later errors.
A single case of the above, for an *existing* import on a big codebase would
otherwise have a huge number of knock-down spurious errors.
Ideally, instead of a global flag to silence all subsequent resolve errors,
we'd want to introduce an unameable binding in the appropriate rib as a
sentinel when there's a failed glob import, so when we encounter a resolve
error we can search for that sentinel and if found, and only then, silence
that error. The current approach is just a quick proof of concept to
iterate over.
Partially address #96799.
Remove braces when fixing a nested use tree into a single item
[Back in 2019](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/56645) I added rustfix support for the `unused_imports` lint, to automatically remove them when running `cargo fix`. For the most part this worked great, but when removing all but one childs of a nested use tree it turned `use foo::{Unused, Used}` into `use foo::{Used}`. This is slightly annoying, because it then requires you to run `rustfmt` to get `use foo::Used`.
This PR automatically removes braces and the surrouding whitespace when all but one child of a nested use tree are unused. To get it done I had to add the span of the nested use tree to the AST, and refactor a bit the code I wrote back then.
A thing I noticed is, there doesn't seem to be any `//@ run-rustfix` test for fixing the `unused_imports` lint. I created a test in `tests/suggestions` (is that the right directory?) that for now tests just what I added in the PR. I can followup in a separate PR to add more tests for fixing `unused_lints`.
This PR is best reviewed commit-by-commit.
ast: Generalize item kind visiting
And avoid duplicating logic for visiting `Item`s with different kinds (regular, associated, foreign).
The diff is better viewed with whitespace ignored.
Macro calls are ephemeral, they should not add anything to the definition tree, even if their AST could contains something with identity.
Thankfully, macro call AST cannot contain anything like that, so these walks are just noops.
In majority of other places in def_collector / build_reduced_graph they are already not visited.
(Also, a minor match reformatting is included.)
Also allow `impl Trait` in delegated functions.
The delegation item will refer to the original opaque type from the callee, fresh opaque type won't be created.
weak lang items are not allowed to be #[track_caller]
For instance the panic handler will be called via this import
```rust
extern "Rust" {
#[lang = "panic_impl"]
fn panic_impl(pi: &PanicInfo<'_>) -> !;
}
```
A `#[track_caller]` would add an extra argument and thus make this the wrong signature.
The 2nd commit is a consistency rename; based on the docs [here](https://doc.rust-lang.org/unstable-book/language-features/lang-items.html) and [here](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/lang-items.html) I figured "lang item" is more widely used. (In the compiler output, "lang item" and "language item" seem to be pretty even.)
Delegation: fix ICE on wrong `self` resolution
fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/122874
Delegation item should be wrapped in a `rib` to behave like a regular function during name resolution.
