rustdoc: Cleanup `clean` part 1
Split out from #88379.
These commits are completely independent of each other, and each is a fairly
small change (the last few are new commits; they are not from #88379):
- Remove unnecessary `Cache.*_did` fields
- rustdoc: Get symbol for `TyParam` directly
- Create a valid `Res` in `external_path()`
- Remove unused `hir_id` parameter from `resolve_type`
- Fix redundant arguments in `external_path()`
- Remove unnecessary `is_trait` argument
- rustdoc: Cleanup a pattern match in `external_generic_args()`
r? ``@jyn514``
- Fix broken handling of primitive associated items
- Remove fragment hack
Fixes 83083
- more logging
- Update CrateNum hacks
The CrateNum has no relation to where in the dependency tree the crate
is, only when it's loaded. Explicitly special-case core instead of
assuming it will be the first DefId.
- Update and add tests
- Cache calculation of primitive locations
This could possibly be avoided by passing a Cache into
collect_intra_doc_links; but that's a much larger change, and doesn't
seem valuable other than for this.
## What is an HTML root url?
It tells rustdoc where it should link when documentation for a crate is
not available locally; for example, when a crate is a dependency of a
crate documented with `cargo doc --no-deps`.
## What is the difference between `html_root_url` and `--extern-html-root-url`?
Both of these tell rustdoc what the HTML root should be set to.
`doc(html_root_url)` is set by the crate author, while
`--extern-html-root-url` is set by the person documenting the crate.
These are often different. For example, docs.rs uses
`--extern-html-root-url https://docs.rs/crate-name/version` to ensure
all crates have documentation, even if `html_root_url` is not set.
Conversely, crates such as Rocket set `doc(html_root_url =
"https://api.rocket.rs")`, because they prefer users to view the
documentation on their own site.
Crates also set `html_root_url` to ensure they have
documentation when building locally when offline. This is unfortunate to
require, because it's more work from the library author. It also makes
it impossible to distinguish between crates that want to be viewed on a
different site (e.g. Rocket) and crates that just want documentation to
be visible offline at all (e.g. Tokio). I have authored a separate
change to the API guidelines to no longer recommend doing this:
https://github.com/rust-lang/api-guidelines/pull/230.
## Why change the default?
In the past, docs.rs has been the main user of `--extern-html-root-url`.
However, it's useful for other projects as well. In particular, Cargo
wants to pass it by default when running `--no-deps`
(https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/8296).
Unfortunately, for these other use cases, the priority order is
inverted. They want to give *precedence* to the URL the crate picks, and
only fall back to the `--extern-html-root` if no `html_root_url` is
present. That allows passing `--extern-html-root` unconditionally,
without having to parse the source code to see what attributes are
present.
For docs.rs, however, we still want to keep the old behavior, so that
all links on docs.rs stay on the site.
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
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.
Items are first built after rustdoc creates the TyCtxt. To allow
resolving the links before the TyCtxt is built, the links can't be
stored on `clean::Item` directly.
rustdoc: sort search index items for compression
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.

Rename `#[doc(spotlight)]` to `#[doc(notable_trait)]`
Fixes#80936.
"spotlight" is not a very specific or self-explaining name.
Additionally, the dialog that it triggers is called "Notable traits".
So, "notable trait" is a better name.
* Rename `#[doc(spotlight)]` to `#[doc(notable_trait)]`
* Rename `#![feature(doc_spotlight)]` to `#![feature(doc_notable_trait)]`
* Update documentation
* Improve documentation
r? `@Manishearth`
Now that we record the crate's name in its `clean::Item`, pushing the
crate name onto the `stack` causes duplicate paths. E.g., the URL
generated for the path `::foo::bar::baz` would be something like
../foo/foo/bar/baz
With this commit, the URL is corrected to
../foo/bar/baz

Previously, `masked_crates` existed both on `Cache` and on
`clean::Crate`. During cache population, the `clean::Crate` version was
`take`n and moved to `Cache`.
This change removes the version on `clean::Crate` and instead directly
mutates `Cache.masked_crates` to initialize it. This has the advantage
of avoiding duplication and avoiding unnecessary allocation, as well as
making the flow of information through rustdoc less confusing.
The one downside I see is that `clean::utils::krate()` now uses the side
effect of mutating `DocContext.cache` instead of returning the data
directly, but it already mutated the `Cache` for other things (e.g.,
`deref_trait_did`) so it's not really new behavior. Also,
`clean::utils::krate()` is only called once (and is meant to only be
called once since it performs expensive and potentially destructive
operations) so the mutation shouldn't be an issue.
Previously, `JsonRenderer::after_krate` called `krate.version.clone()`.
The problem was it did that after the version was already moved into the
cache, so it would always be None. The fix was to get the version from
the cache instead.
The same information is available everywhere; the only reason the dummy
cache was needed is because it waas previously stored in three different
places. This consolidates the info a bit so the cache in `DocContext` is
used throughout. As a bonus, it means `renderinfo` is used much much
less.
- Return a `Cache` from `run_global_ctxt`, not `RenderInfo`
- Remove the unused `render_info` from `run_renderer`
- Remove RefCell around `inlined`
- Add intra-doc links
This brings the size of `Item` from
```
[src/librustdoc/lib.rs:103] std::mem::size_of::<Item>() = 680
```
to
```
[src/librustdoc/lib.rs:103] std::mem::size_of::<Item>() = 280
```
Previously Markdown documentation was not rendered to HTML for search results,
which led to the output not being very readable, particularly for inline code.
This PR fixes that by rendering Markdown to HTML with the help of pulldown-cmark
(the library rustdoc uses to parse Markdown for the main text of documentation).
However, the text for the title attribute (the text shown when you hover over an
element) still uses the plain-text rendering since it is displayed in browsers
as plain-text.
Only these styles will be rendered; everything else is stripped away:
* *italics*
* **bold**
* `inline code`
