intra-doc-link resolution failures should not be reported for cross-crate re-exports · Issue #56922 · rust-lang/rust (original) (raw)

Discovered in #56693.

Currently, if a crate re-exports an item from another crate with resolution failures, then those resolution failures get reported for the original crate. Since the downstream crate has no way to fix the resolution failure in the upstream crate, it shouldn't be reported, much like capping lints.

As of this writing, std::io::Error has an intra-link resolution failure in one of its impls. So, the following code triggers the issue.

A fix for this issue should take care to still report failures for re-exports within the same crate.
