Give precedence to html_root_url

#82776
Conversation
(rust-highfive has picked a reviewer for you, use r? to override) |
This feels like a bad change to me. A large part of the value I see in docs.rs is that it's a one-stop-location for all rustdoc output of crates.io crates. A couple of the first reasons I can think of:
|
The rationale mentions Buck but I need to call out that this change is not so great for Buck. 😦 Generally how the Buck-based (and Bazel too) Rust build workflow works is third party dependencies are turned into build targets via a tool like https://github.com/facebookincubator/reindeer or https://github.com/google/cargo-raze, first party targets are handwritten depending on them just like you would write a Cargo.toml, and then the build tool directly invokes When it comes to rustdoc and third party open source libraries in the crates.io / docs.rs ecosystem, the behavior we need to accomplish is that third party libraries link to their preferred The reason this change is not so good for Buck is that it requires targets downstream to heuristically figure out which of their upstream dependencies are third vs first party in order to construct an appropriate rustdoc invocation. Like if I have internal_crate1 which depends on serde + internal_crate2, then the rustdoc invocation corresponding to internal_crate1's docs build must figure out to pass For supporting Buck's use case, a better approach from rustc and rustdoc would be to accept a fallback html-root-url as part of the downstream crate's build, with lower precedence than an rust_library(
name = "serde",
version = "1.0.123",
srcs = [...],
rustc_flags = ["--html-root-url=https://docs.rs/serde/1.0.123/serde"],
) and similarly a url for the internal first party docs builds filled in by Buck macros for first party crates. This accomplishes all of the objectives. Third party crates will link to their |
Ok, that makes sense to me, I'll add a flag opting in to the old behavior.

ping @dtolnay - I think this may have gotten lost in your emails, I'm hoping to hear more about the Buck use case. |
Not quite. At build time (i.e. at the time that At the time of authoring the build targets (i.e. when the developer runs
Think of each Buck target (one A small piece of Java logic in the Buck implementation of each rule (e.g. the implementation of Traversing the Buck targets of the dependencies to categorize which ones are third party is probably possible, but as you can tell is more involved than the above examples (going from |

@dtolnay does this make things any harder for Buck? I do think this is the right change for the rest of the ecosystem, it would help with stabilizing |
It doesn't immediately. I raised it because the PR description discusses Buck but this isn't what Buck needs. Punting that use case seems okay. Unrelated to Buck, it's slightly concerning that giving precedence to In particular, my sense is that docs.rs is a highly unusual consumer of rustdoc, and most other consumers of rustdoc do not have needs and priorities that are aligned with docs.rs.
In response to your question whether this makes things harder for Buck, currently it doesn't because so far we are aiming to link to |

Looks like it should work fine for docs.rs, I assume you'll manage the sequencing so that docs.rs updates to use the flag on the nightly this comes out on 😜. |
Yup, I'll wait to merge this until I have time to make a docs.rs PR. I think it would be ok in practice for docs.rs not to pass the flag for a day or two though. |

I thought you said in rust-lang/cargo#8296 that cargo needed a way to give html_root_url precedence before stabilizing -Zrustdoc-map :/
Is there something else that needs to happen? My long term goal is to stabilize -Zrustdoc-map and turn it on by default so that |
Ah, apologies for the confusion. I think in rust-lang/cargo#8296 I was mainly asking a question of what the correct behavior should be. I don't know the answer. I think there are legitimate arguments for both approaches (although this was good to highlight that unconditionally making the attribute take precedence prevents serving std docs locally). I'll try to think it over and see if there is some kind of compromise. The flag here ( |
I think it helped Rocket the most: rust-lang/api-guidelines#230 (comment). I would also be ok with just changing the default back but leaving a way for you to opt-in to the other precedence; but if that only helps Rocket it might not be worth the complexity. |
Pkgsrc changes: * Remove one now-longer-applicable patch, adjust a few others * Bump bootstrap requirements to 1.55.0. Upstream changes: Version 1.56.0 (2021-10-21) ======================== Language -------- - [The 2021 Edition is now stable.][rust#88100] See [the edition guide][rust-2021-edition-guide] for more details. - [The pattern in `binding @ pattern` can now also introduce new bindings.] [rust#85305] - [Union field access is permitted in `const fn`.][rust#85769] [rust-2021-edition-guide]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/edition-guide/rust-2021/index.html Compiler -------- - [Upgrade to LLVM 13.][rust#87570] - [Support memory, address, and thread sanitizers on aarch64-unknown-freebsd.][rust#88023] - [Allow specifying a deployment target version for all iOS targets][rust#87699] - [Warnings can be forced on with `--force-warn`.][rust#87472] This feature is primarily intended for usage by `cargo fix`, rather than end users. - [Promote `aarch64-apple-ios-sim` to Tier 2\*.][rust#87760] - [Add `powerpc-unknown-freebsd` at Tier 3\*.][rust#87370] - [Add `riscv32imc-esp-espidf` at Tier 3\*.][rust#87666] \* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more information on Rust's tiered platform support. Libraries --------- - [Allow writing of incomplete UTF-8 sequences via stdout/stderr on Windows.] [rust#83342] The Windows console still requires valid Unicode, but this change allows splitting a UTF-8 character across multiple write calls. This allows, for instance, programs that just read and write data buffers (e.g. copying a file to stdout) without regard for Unicode or character boundaries. - [Prefer `AtomicU{64,128}` over Mutex for Instant backsliding protection.] [rust#83093] For this use case, atomics scale much better under contention. - [Implement `Extend<(A, B)>` for `(Extend<A>, Extend<B>)`][rust#85835] - [impl Default, Copy, Clone for std::io::Sink and std::io::Empty][rust#86744] - [`impl From<[(K, V); N]>` for all collections.][rust#84111] - [Remove `P: Unpin` bound on impl Future for Pin.][rust#81363] - [Treat invalid environment variable names as non-existent.][rust#86183] Previously, the environment functions would panic if given a variable name with an internal null character or equal sign (`=`). Now, these functions will just treat such names as non-existent variables, since the OS cannot represent the existence of a variable with such a name. Stabilised APIs --------------- - [`std::os::unix::fs::chroot`] - [`UnsafeCell::raw_get`] - [`BufWriter::into_parts`] - [`core::panic::{UnwindSafe, RefUnwindSafe, AssertUnwindSafe}`] These APIs were previously stable in `std`, but are now also available in `core`. - [`Vec::shrink_to`] - [`String::shrink_to`] - [`OsString::shrink_to`] - [`PathBuf::shrink_to`] - [`BinaryHeap::shrink_to`] - [`VecDeque::shrink_to`] - [`HashMap::shrink_to`] - [`HashSet::shrink_to`] These APIs are now usable in const contexts: - [`std::mem::transmute`] - [`[T]::first`][`slice::first`] - [`[T]::split_first`][`slice::split_first`] - [`[T]::last`][`slice::last`] - [`[T]::split_last`][`slice::split_last`] Cargo ----- - [Cargo supports specifying a minimum supported Rust version in Cargo.toml.] [`rust-version`] This has no effect at present on dependency version selection. We encourage crates to specify their minimum supported Rust version, and we encourage CI systems that support Rust code to include a crate's specified minimum version in the text matrix for that crate by default. Compatibility notes ------------------- - [Update to new argument parsing rules on Windows.][rust#87580] This adjusts Rust's standard library to match the behavior of the standard libraries for C/C++. The rules have changed slightly over time, and this PR brings us to the latest set of rules (changed in 2008). - [Disallow the aapcs calling convention on aarch64][rust#88399] This was already not supported by LLVM; this change surfaces this lack of support with a better error message. - [Make `SEMICOLON_IN_EXPRESSIONS_FROM_MACROS` warn by default][rust#87385] - [Warn when an escaped newline skips multiple lines.][rust#87671] - [Calls to `libc::getpid` / `std::process::id` from `Command::pre_exec` may return different values on glibc <= 2.24.][rust#81825] Rust now invokes the `clone3` system call directly, when available, to use new functionality available via that system call. Older versions of glibc cache the result of `getpid`, and only update that cache when calling glibc's clone/fork functions, so a direct system call bypasses that cache update. glibc 2.25 and newer no longer cache `getpid` for exactly this reason. Internal changes ---------------- These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and related tools. - [LLVM is compiled with PGO in published x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu artifacts.][rust#88069] This improves the performance of most Rust builds. - [Unify representation of macros in internal data structures.][rust#88019] This change fixes a host of bugs with the handling of macros by the compiler, as well as rustdoc.

What is an HTML root url?
It tells rustdoc where it should link when documentation for a crate is
not available locally; for example, when a crate is a dependency of a
crate documented with
cargo doc --no-deps
.What is the difference between
html_root_url
and--extern-html-root-url
?Both of these tell rustdoc what the HTML root should be set to.
doc(html_root_url)
is set by the crate author, while--extern-html-root-url
is set by the person documenting the crate.These are often different. For example, docs.rs uses
--extern-html-root-url https://docs.rs/crate-name/version
to ensureall crates have documentation, even if
html_root_url
is not set.Conversely, crates such as Rocket set
doc(html_root_url = "https://api.rocket.rs")
, because they prefer users to view thedocumentation on their own site.
Crates also set
html_root_url
to ensure they havedocumentation when building locally when offline. This is unfortunate to
require, because it's more work from the library author. It also makes
it impossible to distinguish between crates that want to be viewed on a
different site (e.g. Rocket) and crates that just want documentation to
be visible offline at all (e.g. Tokio). I have authored a separate
change to the API guidelines to no longer recommend doing this:
rust-lang/api-guidelines#230.
Why change the default?
In the past, docs.rs has been the main user of
--extern-html-root-url
.However, it's useful for other projects as well. In particular, Cargo
wants to pass it by default when running
--no-deps
(rust-lang/cargo#8296).
Unfortunately, for these other use cases, the priority order is
inverted. They want to give precedence to the URL the crate picks, and
only fall back to the
--extern-html-root
if nohtml_root_url
ispresent. That allows passing
--extern-html-root
unconditionally,without having to parse the source code to see what attributes are
present.
For docs.rs, however, we still want to keep the old behavior, so that
all links on docs.rs stay on the site.
