When items are inlined from extern crates, the filename in the debug info
is taken from the FileMap that's serialized in the rlib metadata.
Currently this is just FileMap.name, which is whatever path is passed to rustc.
Since libcore and libstd are built by invoking rustc with relative paths,
they wind up with relative paths in the rlib, and when linked into a binary
the debug info uses relative paths for the names, but since the compilation
directory for the final binary, tools trying to read source filenames
will wind up with bad paths. We noticed this in Firefox with source
filenames from libcore/libstd having bad paths.
This change stores an absolute path in FileMap.abs_path, and uses that
if available for writing debug info. This is not going to magically make
debuggers able to find the source, but it will at least provide sensible
paths.
There is now a CoreEmitter that everything desugars to, but without
losing any information. Also remove RenderSpan::FileLine. This lets the
rustc_driver tests build.
Major changes:
- Remove old snippet rendering code and use the new stuff.
- Introduce `span_label` method to add a label
- Remove EndSpan mode and replace with a fn to get the last
character of a span.
- Stop using `Option<MultiSpan>` and just use an empty `MultiSpan`
- and probably a bunch of other stuff :)
This uncovered a lot of bugs in compiletest and also some shortcomings
of our existing JSON output. We had to add information to the JSON
output, such as suggested text and macro backtraces. We also had to fix
various bugs in the existing tests.
Joint work with jntrnr.
