During function type-checking, we normalize any associated types in
the function signature (argument types + return type), and then
create WF obligations for each of the normalized types. The HIR wf code
does not currently support this case, so any errors that we get have
imprecise spans.
This commit extends `ObligationCauseCode::WellFormed` to support
recording a function parameter, allowing us to get the corresponding
HIR type if an error occurs. Function typechecking is modified to
pass this information during signature normalization and WF checking.
The resulting code is fairly verbose, due to the fact that we can
no longer normalize the entire signature with a single function call.
As part of the refactoring, we now perform HIR-based WF checking
for several other 'typed items' (statics, consts, and inherent impls).
As a result, WF and projection errors in a function signature now
have a precise span, which points directly at the responsible type.
If a function signature is constructed via a macro, this will allow
the error message to point at the code 'most responsible' for the error
(e.g. a user-supplied macro argument).
Better diagnostics with mismatched types due to implicit static lifetime
Fixes#78113
I think this is my first diagnostics PR...definitely happy to hear thoughts on the direction/implementation here.
I was originally just trying to solve the error above, where the lifetime on a GAT was causing a cryptic "mismatched types" error. But as I was writing this, I realized that this (unintentionally) also applied to a different case: `wf-in-foreign-fn-decls-issue-80468.rs`. I'm not sure if this diagnostic should get a new error code, or even reuse an existing one. And, there might be some ways to make this even more generalized. Also, the error is a bit more lengthy and verbose than probably needed. So thoughts there are welcome too.
This PR essentially ended up adding a new nice region error pass that triggers if a type doesn't match the self type of an impl which is selected because of a predicate because of an implicit static bound on that self type.

During well-formed checking, we walk through all types 'nested' in
generic arguments. For example, WF-checking `Option<MyStruct<u8>>`
will cause us to check `MyStruct<u8>` and `u8`. However, this is done
on a `rustc_middle::ty::Ty`, which has no span information. As a result,
any errors that occur will have a very general span (e.g. the
definintion of an associated item).
This becomes a problem when macros are involved. In general, an
associated type like `type MyType = Option<MyStruct<u8>>;` may
have completely different spans for each nested type in the HIR. Using
the span of the entire associated item might end up pointing to a macro
invocation, even though a user-provided span is available in one of the
nested types.
This PR adds a framework for HIR-based well formed checking. This check
is only run during error reporting, and is used to obtain a more precise
span for an existing error. This is accomplished by individually
checking each 'nested' type in the HIR for the type, allowing us to
find the most-specific type (and span) that produces a given error.
The majority of the changes are to the error-reporting code. However,
some of the general trait code is modified to pass through more
information.
Since this has no soundness implications, I've implemented a minimal
version to begin with, which can be extended over time. In particular,
this only works for HIR items with a corresponding `DefId` (e.g. it will
not work for WF-checking performed within function bodies).
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.
This commit extends current well-formedness checking to apply to foreign
function declarations, re-using the existing machinery for regular
functions. In doing this, later parts of the compiler (such as the
`improper_ctypes` lint) can rely on being operations not failing as a
result of invalid code which would normally be caught earlier.
