The `MissingDoc` lint has quadratic behaviour when processing doc comments.
This is a problem for large doc comments (e.g. 1000+ lines) when
`deny(missing_code)` is enabled.
A 1000-line doc comment using `//!` comments is represented as 1000 attributes
on an item. The lint machinery iterates over each attribute with
`visit_attribute`. `MissingDoc`'s impl of that function calls
`with_lint_attrs`, which calls `enter_attrs`, which iterates over all 1000
attributes looking for a `doc(hidden)` attribute. I.e. for every attribute we
iterate over all the other attributes.
The fix is simple: don't call `with_lint_attrs` on attributes. This makes
sense: `with_lint_attrs` is intended to iterate over the attributes on a
language fragment like a statement or expression, but it doesn't need to
be called on attributes themselves.
Remove CrateNum parameter for queries that only work on local crate
The pervasive `CrateNum` parameter is a remnant of the multi-crate rustc idea.
Using `()` as query key in those cases avoids having to worry about the validity of the query key.
StructField -> FieldDef ("field definition")
Field -> ExprField ("expression field", not "field expression")
FieldPat -> PatField ("pattern field", not "field pattern")
Also rename visiting and other methods working on them.
Prevents LateContext::maybe_typeck_results() from returning data in a
nested item without a body. Consequently, LateContext::qpath_res is less
likely to ICE when called in a nested item. Would have prevented
rust-lang/rust-clippy#4545, presumably.
When the 'early' and 'late' visitors visit an attribute target, they
activate any lint attributes (e.g. `#[allow]`) that apply to it.
This can affect warnings emitted on sibiling attributes. For example,
the following code does not produce an `unused_attributes` for
`#[inline]`, since the sibiling `#[allow(unused_attributes)]` suppressed
the warning.
```rust
trait Foo {
#[allow(unused_attributes)] #[inline] fn first();
#[inline] #[allow(unused_attributes)] fn second();
}
```
However, we do not do this for statements - instead, the lint attributes
only become active when we visit the struct nested inside `StmtKind`
(e.g. `Item`).
Currently, this is difficult to observe due to another issue - the
`HasAttrs` impl for `StmtKind` ignores attributes for `StmtKind::Item`.
As a result, the `unused_doc_comments` lint will never see attributes on
item statements.
This commit makes two interrelated fixes to the handling of inert
(non-proc-macro) attributes on statements:
* The `HasAttr` impl for `StmtKind` now returns attributes for
`StmtKind::Item`, treating it just like every other `StmtKind`
variant. The only place relying on the old behavior was macro
which has been updated to explicitly ignore attributes on item
statements. This allows the `unused_doc_comments` lint to fire for
item statements.
* The `early` and `late` lint visitors now activate lint attributes when
invoking the callback for `Stmt`. This ensures that a lint
attribute (e.g. `#[allow(unused_doc_comments)]`) can be applied to
sibiling attributes on an item statement.
For now, the `unused_doc_comments` lint is explicitly disabled on item
statements, which preserves the current behavior. The exact locatiosn
where this lint should fire are being discussed in PR #78306
