I'd like to change this, but i felt it didn't fit in this PR, so i'll add it after this merges.
(EDIT: What i mean is, i want manual extern crate
statements to go outside the automatic fn main
wrapper.)
Seems good to me. 👍 |

…=GuillaumeGomez add unit tests for rustdoc's processing of doctests cc rust-lang#42018 There's a lot of things that rustdoc will do to massage doctests into something that can be compiled, and a lot of options that can be toggled to affect this. Hopefully this list of tests can show off that functionality. The first commit is slightly unrelated but doesn't touch public functionality, because i found that if you have a manual `fn main`, it adds an extra line break at the end, whereas it would trim this extra line break if it were putting a `fn main` in automatically. That first commit makes it trim out that whitespace ahead of time.

… r=GuillaumeGomez rustdoc: move manual "extern crate" statements outside automatic "fn main"s in doctests Gated on rust-lang#48095 - I based the branch atop that so i could show off the change in one of its tests, the actual change in this PR is just the last commit There are a handful of unfortunate assumptions in the way rustdoc processes `extern crate` statements in doctests: 1. In the absence of an `extern crate` statement in the test, if the test also uses the local crate name, it will automatically insert an `extern crate cratename;` statement into the test. 2. If the doctest *does* include an `extern crate` statement, rustdoc will not automatically insert one, on the assumption that doing so would introduce a duplicate import. 3. If a doctest does not have the substring `fn main` outside a comment, rustdoc will wrap the whole doctest in a generated `fn main` so it can be compiled. In short, whenever you write a doctest like this... ```rust //! extern crate my_crate; //! my_crate::some_cool_thing(); ``` ...rustdoc will turn it into (something like) this: ```rust fn main() { extern crate my_crate; my_crate::some_cool_thing(); } ``` This creates issues when compiled, because now `my_crate` isn't even properly in scope! This forces people who want to have multiple crates in their doctests (or an explicit `extern crate` statement) to also manually include their own `fn main`, so rustdoc doesn't put their imports in the wrong place. This PR just taps into another processing step rustdoc does to doctests: Whenever you add an `#![inner_attribute]` to the beginning of a doctest, rustdoc will actually splice those out and put it before the generated `fn main`. Now, we can just do the same with `extern crate`s at the beginning, too, and get a much nicer experience. Now, the above example will be converted into this: ```rust extern crate my_crate; fn main() { my_crate::some_cool_thing(); } ```

The first commit is slightly unrelated but doesn't touch public functionality, because i found that if you have a manual
fn main
, it adds an extra line break at the end, whereas it would trim this extra line break if it were putting afn main
in automatically. That first commit makes it trim out that whitespace ahead of time.
