[cargo doc ICE] SBC-Case parentheses result in ICE

[ZhangHanDong]

///  this is sbc-case parentheses ->（sum ）
fn test(){}

ICE happened when run cargo doc:

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'assertion failed: bpos.to_u32() >= mbc.pos.to_u32() + mbc.bytes as u32', libsyntax/source_map.rs:842:17
note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.

error: internal compiler error: unexpected panic

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports

note: rustc 1.32.0-nightly (8b096314a 2018-11-02) running on x86_64-apple-darwin

error: Could not document `xxx`.

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `rustdoc --edition=2018 --crate-name interview_500 src/lib.rs --color always -o /path/target/doc -L dependency=/path/target/debug/deps` (exit code: 1)

[GuillaumeGomez]

Works fine for me. Anything else besides the given information?

[QuietMisdreavus]

I can't seem to reproduce that ICE with that nightly. Are there any other details about your project that you can tell us about? The panic itself seems to originate in libsyntax, in a function about tracking multi-byte characters in source files:

rust/src/libsyntax/source_map.rs

Lines 840 to 842 in 36a50c2

	// We should never see a byte position in the middle of a
	// character
	assert!(bpos.to_u32() >= mbc.pos.to_u32() + mbc.bytes as u32);

[ZhangHanDong]

@GuillaumeGomez @QuietMisdreavus

try this:

/// （sum - arr[i]）

[GuillaumeGomez]

Still working fine.

[ZhangHanDong]

@GuillaumeGomez

you can try this github reps: test_ice

[ZhangHanDong]

@GuillaumeGomez

I think the bug is caused by that lookup_source_file_idx looked for the wrong location in bytepos_to_file_charpos method.

[GuillaumeGomez]

Ah nice, thanks!

Based on that backtrace, it looks like it's a problem with the reporting of intra-doc link resolution errors, and the span we're calculating from the link reference. These spans are constructed from byte ranges we calculate in html::markdown::markdown_links, when scanning markdown for link references:

rust/src/librustdoc/html/markdown.rs

Lines 871 to 883 in 6f244c9

	let locate = |s: &str| unsafe {
	let s_start = s.as_ptr();
	let s_end = s_start.add(s.len());
	let md_start = md.as_ptr();
	let md_end = md_start.add(md.len());
	if md_start <= s_start && s_end <= md_end {
	let start = s_start.offset_from(md_start) as usize;
	let end = s_end.offset_from(md_start) as usize;
	Some(start..end)
	} else {
	None
	}
	};

Oddly enough, vim seems to re-encode those parentheses in a way that makes the problem go away, so writing this into a test will be exceedingly difficult. This may explain why i couldn't reproduce the issue, because when i copy/pasted the sample into vim, it no longer had the encoding problem.

An immediate work-around for you is to backslash-escape the square brackets on that line, to stop the markdown parser from thinking it's a link.

[QuietMisdreavus]

Oh hang on, i think i've found what's going on. Vim only led me astray because of a plugin i had that caused me to change the test and "solve" the issue.

If you look closely at the reproduction...

/// ## For example:
///  
/// （arr[i]）
pub fn test_ice() {
    unimplemented!();
}

The "blank" line in the middle is actually hiding something important: trailing whitespace. This causes some code later on to fail, that tries to convert the byte range given in the sample i linked into a byte range representative of the code:

rust/src/librustdoc/passes/collect_intra_doc_links.rs

Lines 521 to 538 in 6f244c9

	let line_offset = dox[..link_range.start].lines().count();
	// The span starts in the `///`, so we don't have to account for the leading whitespace
	let code_dox_len = if line_offset <= 1 {
	doc_comment_padding
	} else {
	// The first `///`
	doc_comment_padding +
	// Each subsequent leading whitespace and `///`
	code_dox.lines().skip(1).take(line_offset - 1).fold(0, |sum, line| {
	sum + doc_comment_padding + line.len() - line.trim().len()
	})
	};
	// Extract the specific span
	let sp = sp.from_inner_byte_pos(
	link_range.start + code_dox_len,
	link_range.end + code_dox_len,
	);

That sum + doc_comment_padding + line.len() - line.trim().len() is likely the culprit. (I'm waiting on a build right now, but i'll test this hunch once it's available.) I bet that calculation is incorrectly trimming off that trailing whitespace, which is creating a offset that is causing the index of the span to be incorrectly offset from its actual position... straight into the middle of a multibyte codepoint. Change that line.trim().len() to line.trim_start().len() and the issue will probably disappear.

Another workaround (which will make the error properly appear) is to trim any trailing whitespace in your file, which will cause this calculation use the correct range for the text.
