Because it was a mess.
Previously, pretty much you had to handle all path diagnostics manually: remember to check for them and handle them. Now, we wrap the resolver in `TyLoweringContext` and ensure proper error reporting.
This means that you don't have to worry about them: most of the things are handled automatically, and things that cannot will create a compile-time error (forcing you top `drop(ty_lowering_context);`) if forgotten, instead of silently dropping the diagnostics.
The real place for error reporting is in the hir-def resolver, because there are other things resolving, both in hir-ty and in hir-def, and they all need to ensure proper diagnostics. But this is a good start, and future compatible.
This commit also ensures proper path diagnostics for value/pattern paths, which is why it's marked "feat".
This mainly aids in error recovery but also makes it a bit easier to handle lifetime resolution.
While doing so it also came apparent that we were not actually lowering lifetime outlives relationships within lifetime parameter declaration bounds, so this fixes that.
Implement diagnostics in all places left: generics (predicates, defaults, const params' types), fields, and type aliases.
Unfortunately this results in a 20mb addition in `analysis-stats .` due to many type methods returning an addition diagnostics result now (even if it's `None` in most cases). I'm not sure if this can be improved.
An alternative strategy that can prevent the memory usage growth is to never produce diagnostics in hir-ty methods. Instead, lower all types in the hir crate when computing diagnostics from scratch (with diagnostics this time). But this has two serious disadvantages:
1. This can cause code duplication (although it can probably be not that bad, it will still mean a lot more code).
2. I believe we eventually want to compute diagnostics for the *entire* workspace (either on-type or on-save or something alike), so users can know when they have diagnostics even in inactive files. Choosing this approach will mean we lose all precomputed salsa queries. For one file this is fine, for the whole workspace this will be very slow.
The diagnostic implemented is a simple one (E0109). It serves as a test for the new foundation.
This commit only implements diagnostics for type in bodies and body-carrying signatures; the next commit will include diagnostics in the rest of the things.
Also fix one weird bug that was detected when implementing this that caused `Fn::(A, B) -> C` (which is a valid, if bizarre, alternative syntax to `Fn(A, B) -> C` to lower incorrectly.
And also fix a maybe-bug where parentheses were sneaked into a code string needlessly; this was not detected until now because the parentheses were removed (by the make-AST family API), but with a change in this commit they are now inserted. So fix that too.
Most paths are types and therefore already are in the source map, but the trait in impl trait and in bounds are not.
We do this by storing them basically as `TypeRef`s. For convenience, I created a wrapper around `TypeRefId` called `PathId` that always stores a path, and implemented indexing from the types map to it.
Fortunately, this change impacts memory usage negligibly (adds 2mb to `analysis-stats .`, but that could be just fluff). Probably because there aren't that many trait bounds and impl traits, and this also shrinks `TypeBound` by 8 bytes.
I also added an accessor to `TypesSourceMap` to get the source code, which will be needed for diagnostics.
We add union fields access (in both expressions and patterns) and inline assembly.
That completes the unsafe check (there are some other unsafe things but they are unstable), and so also opens the door to reporting unused unsafe without annoying people about their not-unused unsafe blocks.
Only in calls, because to support them in bounds we need support from Chalk. However we don't yet report error from bounds anyway, so this is less severe.
The returned future is shown in its name within inlay hints instead of as a nicer `impl Future`, but that can wait for another PR.
