`#[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.
You will need to add the following as replacement for the old __rust_*
definitions when not using the alloc shim.
#[no_mangle]
static __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable: u8 = 0;
This makes it possible to use liballoc/libstd in combination with
`--emit obj` if you use `#[global_allocator]`. Making it work for the
default libstd allocator would require weak functions, which are not
well supported on all systems.
Convert all the crates that have had their diagnostic migration
completed (except save_analysis because that will be deleted soon and
apfloat because of the licensing problem).
