![]() Suggest replacing `.` with `::` in more error diagnostics. First commit makes the existing "help: use the path separator to refer to an item" also work when the base is a type alias, not just a trait/module/struct. The existing unconditional `DefKind::Mod | DefKind::Trait` match arm is changed to a conditional `DefKind::Mod | DefKind::Trait | DefKind::TyAlias` arm that only matches if the `path_sep` suggestion-adding closure succeeds, so as not to stop the later `DefKind::TyAlias`-specific suggestions if the path-sep suggestion does not apply. This shouldn't change behavior for `Mod` or `Trait` (due to the default arm's `return false` etc). This commit also updates `tests/ui/resolve/issue-22692.rs` to reflect this, and also renames it to something more meaningful. This commit also makes the `bad_struct_syntax_suggestion` closure take `err` as a parameter instead of capturing it, since otherwise caused borrowing errors due to the change to using `path_sep` in a pattern guard. <details> <summary> Type alias diagnostic example </summary> ```rust type S = String; fn main() { let _ = S.new; } ``` ```diff error[E0423]: expected value, found type alias `S` --> diag7.rs:4:13 | 4 | let _ = S.new; | ^ | - = note: can't use a type alias as a constructor + help: use the path separator to refer to an item + | +4 | let _ = S::new; + | ~~ ``` </details> Second commit adds some cases for `enum`s, where if there is a field/method expression where the field/method has the name of a unit/tuple variant, we assume the user intended to create that variant[^1] and suggest replacing the `.` from the field/method suggestion with a `::` path separator. If no such variant is found (or if the error is not a field/method expression), we give the existing suggestion that suggests adding `::TupleVariant(/* fields */)` after the enum. <details> <summary> Enum diagnostic example </summary> ```rust enum Foo { A(u32), B, C { x: u32 }, } fn main() { let _ = Foo.A(42); // changed let _ = Foo.B; // changed let _ = Foo.D(42); // no change let _ = Foo.D; // no change let _ = Foo(42); // no change } ``` ```diff error[E0423]: expected value, found enum `Foo` --> diag8.rs:8:13 | 8 | let _ = Foo.A(42); // changed | ^^^ | note: the enum is defined here --> diag8.rs:1:1 | 1 | / enum Foo { 2 | | A(u32), 3 | | B, 4 | | C { x: u32 }, 5 | | } | |_^ -help: you might have meant to use the following enum variant - | -8 | let _ = Foo::B.A(42); // changed - | ~~~~~~ -help: alternatively, the following enum variant is available +help: use the path separator to refer to a variant | -8 | let _ = (Foo::A(/* fields */)).A(42); // changed - | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +8 | let _ = Foo::A(42); // changed + | ~~ error[E0423]: expected value, found enum `Foo` --> diag8.rs:9:13 | 9 | let _ = Foo.B; // changed | ^^^ | note: the enum is defined here --> diag8.rs:1:1 | 1 | / enum Foo { 2 | | A(u32), 3 | | B, 4 | | C { x: u32 }, 5 | | } | |_^ -help: you might have meant to use the following enum variant - | -9 | let _ = Foo::B.B; // changed - | ~~~~~~ -help: alternatively, the following enum variant is available +help: use the path separator to refer to a variant | -9 | let _ = (Foo::A(/* fields */)).B; // changed - | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +9 | let _ = Foo::B; // changed + | ~~ error[E0423]: expected value, found enum `Foo` --> diag8.rs:10:13 | 10 | let _ = Foo.D(42); // no change | ^^^ | note: the enum is defined here --> diag8.rs:1:1 | 1 | / enum Foo { 2 | | A(u32), 3 | | B, 4 | | C { x: u32 }, 5 | | } | |_^ help: you might have meant to use the following enum variant | 10 | let _ = Foo::B.D(42); // no change | ~~~~~~ help: alternatively, the following enum variant is available | 10 | let _ = (Foo::A(/* fields */)).D(42); // no change | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ error[E0423]: expected value, found enum `Foo` --> diag8.rs:11:13 | 11 | let _ = Foo.D; // no change | ^^^ | note: the enum is defined here --> diag8.rs:1:1 | 1 | / enum Foo { 2 | | A(u32), 3 | | B, 4 | | C { x: u32 }, 5 | | } | |_^ help: you might have meant to use the following enum variant | 11 | let _ = Foo::B.D; // no change | ~~~~~~ help: alternatively, the following enum variant is available | 11 | let _ = (Foo::A(/* fields */)).D; // no change | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ error[E0423]: expected function, tuple struct or tuple variant, found enum `Foo` --> diag8.rs:12:13 | 12 | let _ = Foo(42); // no change | ^^^ help: try to construct one of the enum's variants: `Foo::A` | = help: you might have meant to construct the enum's non-tuple variant note: the enum is defined here --> diag8.rs:1:1 | 1 | / enum Foo { 2 | | A(u32), 3 | | B, 4 | | C { x: u32 }, 5 | | } | |_^ error: aborting due to 5 previous errors ``` </details> [^1]: or if it's a field expression and a tuple variant, that they meant to refer the variant constructor. |
