This approach lives exclusively in the parser, so struct expr bodies
that are syntactically correct on their own but are otherwise incorrect
will still emit confusing errors, like in the following case:
```rust
fn foo() -> Foo {
bar: Vec::new()
}
```
```
error[E0425]: cannot find value `bar` in this scope
--> src/file.rs:5:5
|
5 | bar: Vec::new()
| ^^^ expecting a type here because of type ascription
error[E0214]: parenthesized type parameters may only be used with a `Fn` trait
--> src/file.rs:5:15
|
5 | bar: Vec::new()
| ^^^^^ only `Fn` traits may use parentheses
error[E0107]: wrong number of type arguments: expected 1, found 0
--> src/file.rs:5:10
|
5 | bar: Vec::new()
| ^^^^^^^^^^ expected 1 type argument
```
If that field had a trailing comma, that would be a parse error and it
would trigger the new, more targetted, error:
```
error: struct literal body without path
--> file.rs:4:17
|
4 | fn foo() -> Foo {
| _________________^
5 | | bar: Vec::new(),
6 | | }
| |_^
|
help: you might have forgotten to add the struct literal inside the block
|
4 | fn foo() -> Foo { Path {
5 | bar: Vec::new(),
6 | } }
|
```
Partially address last part of #34255.
Improve unresolved use error message
"use of undeclared type or module `foo`" doesn't mention that it could be a crate.
This error can happen when users forget to add a dependency to `Cargo.toml`, so I think it's important to mention that it could be a missing crate.
I've used a heuristic based on Rust's naming conventions. It complains about an unknown type if the ident starts with an upper-case letter, and crate or module otherwise. It seems to work very well. The expanded error help covers both an unknown type and a missing crate case.
diagnostics: shorten paths of unique symbols
This is a step towards implementing a fix for #50310, and continuation of the discussion in [Pre-RFC: Nicer Types In Diagnostics - compiler - Rust Internals](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-nicer-types-in-diagnostics/11139). Impressed upon me from previous discussion in #21934 that an RFC for this is not needed, and I should just come up with code.
The recent improvements to `use` suggestions that I've contributed have given rise to this implementation. Contrary to previous suggestions, it's rather simple logic, and I believe it only reduces the amount of cognitive load that a developer would need when reading type errors.
-----
If a symbol name can only be imported from one place, and as long as it was not glob-imported anywhere in the current crate, we can trim its printed path to the last component.
This has wide implications on error messages with types, for example, shortening `std::vec::Vec` to just `Vec`, as long as there is no other `Vec` importable from anywhere.
Improve recovery on malformed format call
The token following a format expression should be a comma. However, when it is replaced with a similar token (such as a dot), then the corresponding error is emitted, but the token is treated as a comma, and the parsing step continues.

If a symbol name can only be imported from one place for a type, and
as long as it was not glob-imported anywhere in the current crate, we
can trim its printed path and print only the name.
This has wide implications on error messages with types, for example,
shortening `std::vec::Vec` to just `Vec`, as long as there is no other
`Vec` importable anywhere.
This adds a new '-Z trim-diagnostic-paths=false' option to control this
feature.
On the good path, with no diagnosis printed, we should try to avoid
issuing this query, so we need to prevent trimmed_def_paths query on
several cases.
This change also relies on a previous commit that differentiates
between `Debug` and `Display` on various rustc types, where the latter
is trimmed and presented to the user and the former is not.
It has been deny_by_default since 2017 (and warned for some time
before that), so it seems reasonable to promote it.
The specific technical motivation to do this now is to remove a field
from `ParseSess` -- it is a global state, and global state makes
extracting libraries annoying.
Closes#40107
Recover gracefully from `struct` parse errors
Currently the parser tries to recover from finding a keyword where a field name was expected, but this causes extra knock down parse errors that are completely irrelevant. Instead, bail out early in the parsing of the field and consume the remaining tokens in the block. This can reduce output significantly.
_Improvements based on the narrative in https://fasterthanli.me/articles/i-am-a-java-csharp-c-or-cplusplus-dev-time-to-do-some-rust_
When encountering a unit or tuple pattern for a struct-like item, suggest
using the correct pattern.
Use `insert_field_names_local` when evaluating variants and store field
names even when the list is empty in order to produce accurate
structured suggestions.
Accept tuple.0.0 as tuple indexing (take 2)
If we expect something identifier-like when parsing a field name after `.`, but encounter a float token, we break that float token into parts, similarly to how we break `&&` into `&` `&`, or `<<` into `<` `<`, etc.
An alternative to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70420.
Tweak `::` -> `:` typo heuristic and reduce verbosity
Do not trigger on correct type ascription expressions with trailing
operators and _do_ trigger on likely path typos where a turbofish is
used.
On likely path typos, remove note explaining type ascription.
Clean up indentation.

Audit hidden/short code suggestions
Should fix#73641.
Audit uses of `span_suggestion_short` and `tool_only_span_suggestion` (`span_suggestion_hidden` is already tested with `run-rustfix`). Leave some FIXMEs for futher improvements/fixes.

Recover extra trailing angle brackets in struct definition
This commit applies the existing 'extra angle bracket recovery' logic
when parsing fields in struct definitions. This allows us to continue
parsing the struct's fields, avoiding spurious 'missing field' errors in
code that tries to use the struct.
Fix wording for anonymous parameter name help
```
--> exercises/functions/functions2.rs:8:15
|
8 | fn call_me(num) {
| ^ expected one of `:`, `@`, or `|`
|
= note: anonymous parameters are removed in the 2018 edition (see RFC 1685)
help: if this is a `self` type, give it a parameter name
|
8 | fn call_me(self: num) {
| ^^^^^^^^^
help: if this was a parameter name, give it a type
|
8 | fn call_me(num: TypeName) {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
help: if this is a type, explicitly ignore the parameter name
|
8 | fn call_me(_: num) {
|
```
This commit changes "if this was a parameter name" to "if this is a parameter name" to match the wording of similar errors.
