This was done in #145740 and #145947. It is causing problems for people
using r-a on anything that uses the rustc-dev rustup package, e.g. Miri,
clippy.
This repository has lots of submodules and subtrees and various
different projects are carved out of pieces of it. It seems like
`[workspace.dependencies]` will just be more trouble than it's worth.
Fix format string grammar in docs and improve alignment error message for #144023
This PR improves error messages and documentation for format strings involving alignment and formatting traits.
Highlights:
- Clearer error messages for invalid alignment specifiers (e.g., `{0:#X>18}`), showing the expected `<`, `^`, or `>` and a working example:
println!("{0:>#18X}", value);
- Updated UI test `format-alignment-hash.rs` to reflect the improved error output.
- Documentation clarification: ensures examples correctly show how width, alignment, and traits like `x`, `X`, `#` combine.
Motivation:
Previously, using `#` with alignment and width produced confusing errors. This PR guides users on the correct syntax and provides actionable examples.
Testing:
- Built the compiler (`./x build`)
- Blessed and ran UI tests (`./x. test src/test/ui/fmt/format-alignment-hash.rs --bless`)
- Verified full test suite passes (`./x test`)
Issue: rust-lang/rust#144023
It's very useful. There are some false positives involving integration
tests in `rustc_pattern_analysis` and `rustc_serialize`. There is also a
false positive involving `rustc_driver_impl`'s
`rustc_randomized_layouts` feature. And I removed a `rustc_span` mention
in a doc comment in `rustc_log` because it wasn't integral to the
comment but caused a dev-dependency.
