Fix ICE when applying test macro to crate root #147841

jdonszelmann · 2025-10-18T10:28:10Z

This PR does a couple of things. First of all, I found an ICE that happens when applying #![core::prelude::v1::test] to the crate root. This is caused by the test macro not expanding to an item when --test isn't applied. For the crate root, that means it deletes the crate....

The fix now first does target checking, and only if the target is valid discards the item when --test isn't applied. The discarding is, I think, important for perf.

The problem with this PR is that it means that #[test] applied to structs previously would give no errors unless --test is applied! That sounds like a bug to me, but maybe we should crater run it just in case, since technically that's a breaking change. Errors in such items wouldn't be reported previously.

Also fixed a smol diagnostics bug with #[bench]'s error messages refering to #[test] accidentally.

noratrieb is not on the review rotation at the moment.
They may take a while to respond.

New test for test attributes. The previous tests simply asserted no errors would be given but that's not true anymore, and I think they should error!

-mod test { mod inner { #![test] }


these were weird here anyway, test isn't a built-in attribute but a built-in macro!

I think this is the correct error here, not something about removing expressions. I think noting that the target is wrong is more important.

this test was testing for "empty expressions". this is super niche, can only happen with ast-based attributes (only like 10 in the compiler) and none of the examples in this test should actually remove the expression, they should instead report that the target is wrong. I can't find any other examples of node-removing attributes so I think this test is simply superfluous now.

does this fix #114920 ?

yea, that's actually exactly what it fixes. there was a crashtest for it I just notice but the fix is rather trivial in the end
