We don't want to have questions in the diagnostic output. Instead, we use wording that communicates uncertainty, like "might":
```
error[E0432]: unresolved import `spam`
--> $DIR/import-from-missing-star-3.rs:2:9
|
LL | use spam::*;
| ^^^^ you might be missing crate `spam`
|
= help: consider adding `extern crate spam` to use the `spam` crate
```
When suggesting to rename an import with `as`, use a smaller span to
render the suggestion with a better format:
```
error[E0252]: the name `baz` is defined multiple times
--> $DIR/issue-25396.rs:4:5
|
LL | use foo::baz;
| -------- previous import of the module `baz` here
LL | use bar::baz;
| ^^^^^^^^ `baz` reimported here
|
= note: `baz` must be defined only once in the type namespace of this module
help: you can use `as` to change the binding name of the import
|
LL | use bar::baz as other_baz;
| ++++++++++++
```
When we have long code skips, we write `...` in the line number gutter.
For suggestions, we were "centering" the `...` with the line, but that was consistent with what we do in every other case.
When both `std::` and `core::` items are available, only suggest the
`std::` ones. We ensure that in `no_std` crates we suggest `core::`
items.
Ensure that the list of items suggested to be imported are always in the
order of local crate items, `std`/`core` items and finally foreign crate
items.
Tweak wording of import suggestion: if there are multiple items but they
are all of the same kind, we use the kind name and not the generic "items".
Fix#83564.
Silence some resolve errors when there have been glob import errors
When encountering `use foo::*;` where `foo` fails to be found, and we later encounter resolution errors, we silence those later errors.
A single case of the above, for an *existing* import on a big codebase would otherwise have a huge number of knock-down spurious errors.
Ideally, instead of a global flag to silence all subsequent resolve errors, we'd want to introduce an unnameable binding in the appropriate rib as a sentinel when there's a failed glob import, so when we encounter a resolve error we can search for that sentinel and if found, and only then, silence that error. The current approach is just a quick proof of concept to iterate over.
Partially address #96799.

make unused_imports less assertive in test modules
closes#121502
This is a fairly small change and I used the fix suggested in the example expected error message.
Not sure if I should've rather used the alternatives but this one seems the most descriptive.
Some alternatives:
- if this is meant to be a test module, add `#[cfg(test)]` to the containing module
- try adding #[cfg(test)] to this test module
- consider adding #[allow(unused_imports)] if you want to silent the lint on the unused import
- consider removing the unused import
`Diagnostic::keys`, which is used for hashing and equating diagnostics,
has a surprising behaviour: it ignores children, but only for lints.
This was added in #88493 to fix some duplicated diagnostics, but it
doesn't seem necessary any more.
This commit removes the special case and only four tests have changed
output, with additional errors. And those additional errors aren't
exact duplicates, they're just similar. For example, in
src/tools/clippy/tests/ui/same_name_method.rs we currently have this
error:
```
error: method's name is the same as an existing method in a trait
--> $DIR/same_name_method.rs:75:13
|
LL | fn foo() {}
| ^^^^^^^^^^^
|
note: existing `foo` defined here
--> $DIR/same_name_method.rs:79:9
|
LL | impl T1 for S {}
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
and with this change we also get this error:
```
error: method's name is the same as an existing method in a trait
--> $DIR/same_name_method.rs:75:13
|
LL | fn foo() {}
| ^^^^^^^^^^^
|
note: existing `foo` defined here
--> $DIR/same_name_method.rs:81:9
|
LL | impl T2 for S {}
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
I think printing this second argument is reasonable, possibly even
preferable to hiding it. And the other cases are similar.
When encoutering a privacy error on an item through a re-export that is
accessible in an alternative path, provide a structured suggestion with
that path.
```
