Based on the approach that @davidhewitt and I prototyped a few months ago, which has since matured and been merged: obi1kenobi/trustfall-rustdoc-adapter#260
This gets us almost all of the edge cases around
#[doc(hidden)]
: structs, fields, enums, variants, fields within variants, functions, methods, (free or associated) constants, statics, etc. There are test cases in this PR for each of them.The remaining edge cases require knowledge of whether traits are sealed, so we can accurately determine if e.g. the deletion of a
#[doc(hidden)]
trait associated type is a breaking change because it might affect implementations outside the crate. Sealed traits are of interest for many other lints as well (see #5) so I'm sure we'll get that too before long.This PR should resolve a vast majority of the current false-positives encountered in practice by users of cargo-semver-checks, as measured by our study of the top 1000 Rust crates across all their releases since 2017: https://predr.ag/blog/semver-violations-are-common-better-tooling-is-the-answer/
