in which the private/restricted-in-public error messaging gets specific
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
April 2016's Issue #33174 called out the E0446 diagnostics as
confusing. While adding the name of the restricted type to the message
(548e681) clarified matters somewhat, Esteban Küber pointed out that we
could stand to place a secondary span on the restricted type.

Here, we differentiate between crate-visible, truly private, and
otherwise restricted types, and place a secondary span specifically on
the visibility modifier of the restricted type's declaration (which we
can do now that HIR visibilities have spans!).

At long last, this resolves #33174.
