@GuillaumeGomez Thanks! Upon re-reading the PR description, do note that those screenshots do not show the current situation! This PR only cleans up the code but the main issue is either solved by applying the temporary workaround mentioned in #1079 or automagically when it is addressed in rustdoc: rust-lang/rust#83428. Apologies for selling "misleading" pretty pictures 😅 |
This removes unnecessary (duplicate) `#[cfg]` attributes on `fn`s where the surrounding `impl` block (in `enums`/`flags`) or `mod` (when in a file that fully defines a `struct`) already declares this constraint. When the feature requirement is already described it is superfluous (and noisy) to specify it again. Besides, rustdoc omits duplicate feature requirements if it can show this just once at the top of the page for the entire `struct`.
This removes unnecessary (duplicate) `#[cfg]` attributes on trait implementations where the surrounding `mod` (when in a file that fully defines a `struct`) already declares this constraint. This does not suffice for `flags`/`enums` where multiple types live in a single shared file without surrounding constraint.

rustdocautomatically propagates feature requirements on modules to the items within it, showing it conveniently on the top of the page without a singledoc(cfg())residing inside this file anymore:Note that rustdoc automatically coalesces to this already! This PR just cleans up the code so that it's easier to read through: a loose
#[cfg]statement makes it seem like something special is going on, even though it is simply repeating what is already declared on themodas a whole. See: https://github.com/MarijnS95/gtk-rs/compare/deduplicate-cfg-guardsUnfortunately a bug with publicly reexporting private modules (ie. our
mod auto; pub use crate::auto::*;) preventsrustdocfrom figuring out this type constraint onstructs, and instead opts to propagate the requirement to each and every member :( (#1079):That is already the case on
master(see it for yourself!) and this PR does nothing to alleviate the situation.
