From 6e6efc5fef4a1cdcccca3cffd5b73fd25d093352 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miguel Ojeda Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2024 16:12:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rust: enable rustdoc's `--generate-link-to-definition` In Rust 1.56.0 [1], rustdoc introduced the "jump to definition" feature [2], i.e. the unstable flag `--generate-link-to-definition`. It adds links to the source view of the documentation. For instance, in the source view of `rust/kernel/sync.rs`, for this code: impl Default for LockClassKey { fn default() -> Self { Self::new() } } It will add three hyperlinks: - `Default` points to the rendered "Trait `core::default::Default`" page (not the source view, since it goes to another crate, though this may change). - `LockClassKey` points to the `pub struct LockClassKey(...);` line in the same page, highlighting the line number. - `Self::new()` points to the `pub const fn new() -> Self { ... }` associated function, highlighting its line numbers (i.e. for the full function). This makes the source view more useful and a bit closer to the experience in e.g. the Elixir Cross Referencer [3]. I have provisionally enabled it for rust.docs.kernel.org [4] -- one can take a look at the source view there for an example of how it looks like. Thus enable it.
