Improve the diagnostics for unused generic parameters #120556

fmease · 2024-02-01T15:06:25Z

Don't emit two errors (namely E0091 and E0392) for unused type parameters on lazy type aliases
Fix the diagnostic help message of E0392 for lazy type aliases: Don't talk about the “fields” of lazy type aliases (use the term “body” instead) and don't suggest PhantomData for them, it doesn't make much sense
Consolidate the diagnostics for E0091 (unused type parameters in type aliases) and E0392 (unused generic parameters due to bivariance) and make it translatable
- Still keep the error codes distinct (for now)
- Naturally leads to better diagnostics for E0091

+    let param_name = param.name.ident();


I'm no longer extracting the Symbol from the Ident via param.name.ident().name since the Display impl for Ident accounts for escaping via r#. This way, we properly display r#if in type T<r#if> = (); as r#if instead of if.

I could add extra code for skipping this error entirely by delaying a bug on _ when checking the “usedness”. Not sure if it'd be worth it though.

It may be very hard to track the expected identifier, found reserved identifier error all the way into the type system. We'd probably have to add a GenericParamDefKind::Error to do that. May be worth exploring, but not in this PR

+            // FIXME: This assumes that elaborated `Sized` bounds come first (which does hold at the
+            // time of writing). This is a bit fragile since we later use the span to detect elaborated
+            // `Sized` bounds. If they came last for example, this would break `Trait + /*elab*/Sized`
+            // since it would overwrite the span of the user-written bound. This could be fixed by
+            // folding the spans with `Span::to` which requires a bit of effort I think.


Didn't want to deal with this right now but I can try to do so if you'd like me to. I think it'll be a bit nasty to implement though. Consider a hypothetical set of predicates like [<A as TraitA>, <B as TraitB>, /*elab*/<A as Sized>] (note: we need to merge the spans of the 0th and the 2nd predicate).

Maybe it's actually not that ugly to implement, I just haven't spent any time to think about this.

why does it rely on that? the spans differ, so both elaborated and user-written would end up in the hash set

🤦 it's a hashmap and this collect relies on the hash map impl overwriting with follow up items of the same key

seems fine to rely on this, there are tests after all
