Rationale:
* The name was confusing.
* It was only used in one place.
* That place didn't actually need all the functionality of `get_type`;
rather, removing `get_type` makes that code clearer.
I would like to rename it to `Type::Path`, but then it can't be
re-exported since the name would conflict with the `Path` struct.
Usually enum variants are referred to using their qualified names in
Rust (and parts of rustdoc already do that with `clean::Type`), so this
is also more consistent with the language.
Remove unneeded FIXMEs comments in search index generation
Original comment:
> Instead of recreating a new `vec` for each arguments, we re-use the same. The impact on performance should be minor but worth a try.
After testing it, we reached the conclusion that the code readability drop wasn't worth the almost unnoticeable performance improvement.
r? `@camelid`
Add more comments to explain the code to generate the search index
Fixes#90766.
I tried to put comments when the code wasn't easy to understand at first sight and added more documentation on the recursive function. Please tell me if I misused the terminology or if comments can be improved or added into other places.

rustdoc: Compute some fields of `clean::Crate` on-demand to reduce size
`clean::Crate` is frequently moved by-value -- for example, in `DocFolder`
implementations -- so reducing its size should improve performance.
This PR reduces the size of `clean::Crate` from 168 bytes to 104 bytes.
r? `@jyn514`
The old name was confusing because it's easy to assume that using
`def_id()` is fine, but in some situations it's incorrect. In general,
`def_id_full()` should be preferred, so `def_id_full()` should have a
shorter name. That will happen in the next commit.
Now that it's only implemented for `Type`, using inherent methods
instead means that imports are no longer necessary. Also, `GetDefId` is
only meant to be used with `Type`, so it shouldn't be a trait.
The change to `impl Clean<Path> for hir::TraitRef<'_>` was necessary to
fix a test failure for `src/test/rustdoc/trait-alias-mention.rs`.
Here's why:
The old code path was through `impl Clean<Type> for hir::TraitRef<'_>`,
which called `resolve_type`, which in turn called `register_res`. Now,
because `PolyTrait` uses a `Path` instead of a `Type`, the impl of
`Clean<Path>` was being run, which did not call `register_res`, causing
the trait alias to not be recorded in the `external_paths` cache.
This commit adds a test case for generics, re-adds generics data
to the search index, and tweaks function indexing to use less space in JSON.
This reverts commit 14ca89446c.
Properly render HRTBs
```rust
pub fn test<T>()
where
for<'a> &'a T: Iterator,
{}
```
This will now render properly including the `for<'a>`

I do not know if this covers all cases, it only covers everything that I could think of that includes `for` and lifetimes in where bounds.
Also someone need to mentor me on how to add a proper rustdoc test for this.
Resolves#78482
check item.is_fake() instead of self_id.is_some()
Remove empty branching in Attributes::from_ast
diverse small refacto after Josha review
cfg computation moved in merge_attrs
refacto use from_ast twice for coherence
take cfg out of Attributes and move it to Item
refacto use from_def_id_and_attrs_and_parts instead of an old trick
most of josha suggestions + check if def_id is not fake before using it in a query
Removed usage of Attributes in FnDecl and ExternalCrate. Relocate part of the Attributes fields as functions in AttributesExt.
This should not affect the appearance of the docs pages themselves.
This makes the pre-compressed search index smaller, thanks to the
empty-string path duplication format, and also the gzipped version,
by giving the algorithm more structure to work with.

I'm wondering if it was originally there so that we could `take` the
module which enables `after_krate` to take an `&Crate`. However, the two
impls of `after_krate` only use `Crate.name`, so we can pass just the
name instead.
This essentially switches search-index.js from a "array of struct"
to a "struct of array" format, like this:
{
"doc": "Crate documentation",
"t": [ 1, 1, 2, 3, ... ],
"n": [ "Something", "SomethingElse", "whatever", "do_stuff", ... ],
"q": [ "a::b", "", "", "", ... ],
"d": [ "A Struct That Does Something", "Another Struct", "a function", "another function", ... ],
"i": [ 0, 0, 1, 1, ... ],
"f": [ null, null, [], [], ... ],
"p": ...,
"a": ...
}
So `{ty: 1, name: "Something", path: "a::b", desc: "A Struct That Does Something", parent_idx: 0, search_type: null}` is the first item.
This makes the uncompressed version smaller, but it really shows on the
compressed version:
notriddle:rust$ wc -c new-search-index1.52.0.js
2622427 new-search-index1.52.0.js
notriddle:rust$ wc -c old-search-index1.52.0.js
2725046 old-search-index1.52.0.js
notriddle:rust$ gzip new-search-index1.52.0.js
notriddle:rust$ gzip old-search-index1.52.0.js

notriddle:rust$ wc -c old-search-index1.52.0.js.gz
296328 old-search-index1.52.0.js.gz
notriddle:rust$
That's a 4% improvement on the uncompressed version (fewer `[]`),
and 20% improvement after gzipping it, thanks to putting like-typed
data next to each other. Any compression algorithm based on a sliding
window will probably show this kind of improvement.
