Highlight and simplify mismatched types
Shorten mismatched types errors by replacing subtypes that are not
different with `_`, and highlighting only the subtypes that are
different.
Given a file
```rust
struct X<T1, T2> {
x: T1,
y: T2,
}
fn foo() -> X<X<String, String>, String> {
X { x: X {x: "".to_string(), y: 2}, y: "".to_string()}
}
fn bar() -> Option<String> {
"".to_string()
}
```
provide the following output
```rust
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> file.rs:6:5
|
6 | X { x: X {x: "".to_string(), y: 2}, y: "".to_string()}
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected struct `std::string::String`, found {integer}
|
= note: expected type `X<X<_, std::string::String>, _>`
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ // < highlighted
found type `X<X<_, {integer}>, _>`
^^^^^^^^^ // < highlighted
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> file.rs:6:5
|
10 | "".to_string()
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected struct `std::option::Option`, found `std::string::String`
|
= note: expected type `Option<std::string::String>`
^^^^^^^ ^ // < highlighted
found type `std::string::String`
```
Fix#21025. Re: #40186. Follow up to #39906.
I'm looking to change how this output is accomplished so that it doesn't create list of strings to pass around, but rather add an elided `Ty` placeholder, and use the same string formatting for normal types. I'll be doing that soonish.
