This refactors how we deal with items in hir-def lowering.
- It now lowers all of them through an "ExpressionStore" (kind of a misnomer as this point) as their so called *Signatures.
- We now uniformly lower type AST into TypeRefs before type inference.
- Likewise, this moves macro expansion out of type inference, resulting in a single place where we do non-defmap macro expansion.
- Finally, this PR removes a lot of information from ItemTree, making the DefMap a lot less likely to be recomputed and have it only depend on actual early name resolution related information (not 100% true, we still have ADT fields in there but thats a follow up removal).
We miss one place: associated type bindings aka. `impl Trait<Type(..): Send>`, but we also miss it for Fn-style parenthesizes error so I left it out for now.
This is required to format evaluated consts, because we need trait env, and it needs the crate (currently it uses the last crate in topological order, which is wrong, the next commit will fix that).
I was wrong on #19127, I thought hir-def resolver is enough for them, but it turns out not because of paths like `<Enum>::Variant` and `Type::AssocThatIsEnum::Variant`.
And add a new diagnostic for non-`Fn` parenthesized generic args.
Path lowering started to look like a mess, with each function carrying additional parameters for the diagnostic callback (since paths can occur both in type and in expression/pattern position, and their diagnostic handling is different) and the segment index, for the diagnostics report. So I refactored it from stateless functions on `TyLoweringContext` into stateful struct, `PathLoweringContext`, that tracks the process of lowering a path from resolution til assoc types selection.
I added it by mistake in #18927.
I chose to keep the method as not static, because it's more comfortable, and keep the name `add_reference()` and not `reference()`, because it is clearer and better matches `strip_reference[s]()`.
It should be considered by the edition of the caller, not the callee.
Technically we still don't do it correctly - we need the span of the method name (if it comes from a macro), but we don't keep it and this is good enough for now.
Split manual.adoc into markdown files, one for each chapter.
For the parts of the manual that are generated from source code doc
comments, update the comments to use markdown syntax and update the
code generators to write to `generated.md` files.
For the weekly release, stop copying the .adoc files to the
`rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.github.io` at release time. Instead,
we'll sync the manual hourly from this repository.
See https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.github.io/pull/226
for the sync. This PR should be merged first, and that PR needs to be
merged before the next weekly release.
This change is based on #15795, but rebased and updated. I've also
manually checked each page for markdown syntax issues and fixed any I
encountered.
