rustdoc panics when some unstable features is used without #![feature(…)]

[kennytm]

(May be same as #31647?)

With the source:

#[b] struct S;

Running rustdoc 1.rs gives the error:

error: The attribute `b` is currently unknown to the compiler and may have meaning added to it in the future (see issue #29642)
 --> 1.rs:1:1
  |
1 | #[b]
  | ^^^^
  |
  = help: add #![feature(custom_attribute)] to the crate attributes to enable

error: internal compiler error: unexpected panic

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports

note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace

Similar for other features like:

• fn main() { Ok(())?; }
• fn main() { box 1; }
• const fn f() {}
• #[structural_match] struct S;
• #![no_core]
• #[naked] fn a() {}
• #[start] fn start() {}
• fn b() { 1: i32; }
• fn b() { let a: ! = 0; }
• fn a() { 1...2; }
• trait T { type A = i32; }
• trait T { const a: i32; }
• trait T {} impl T for .. {}
• fn á() {}
• extern "rust-intrinsic" fn a() {}

But some features are fine (won't panic):

• unsafe fn main() { std::intrinsics::ctpop(1); } // and other library features
• fn main() { asm!(""); }
• #![cfg(target_feature="simd")]
• fn a() { concat_idents!(a); }

Repro on both stable and nightly (1.11 – 1.13).
