Introduce #[diagnostic::on_move(message)] by rperier · Pull Request #150935 · rust-lang/rust

rperier · 2026-01-10T18:09:26Z

This is a first proposal. I have deliberately kept it simpler than diagnostic::on_unimplemented.

Few questions/remarks:

Do I need to move the OnMoveDirective logic into a dedicated module perhaps ? let's say into compiler/rustc_borrowck/src/diagnostics/on_move.rs
No problems to depend on crates like rustc_ast from the borrowck ?
Notes are not supported yet. While message and label are very static , in the sense that they are emitted in the same way from the same place in the borrowck, it is not the case for the notes. It would make the code more complex. But, I can add support for notes if it does make sense.

Suggestions are welcomed !

These commits modify the Cargo.lock file. Unintentional changes to Cargo.lock can be introduced when switching branches and rebasing PRs.

If this was unintentional then you should revert the changes before this PR is merged.
Otherwise, you can ignore this comment.

I'm currently working on migrating the existing diagnostic attribute infrastructure, can you do this PR after that? It's going to be quite a mess to resolve that conflict.

Is this meant to be only used by the standard library or also by users? If only by std, I think you should forego the attribute and instead check whether T implements UseCloned and recommend a clone (or .use if on nightly).

rperier · 2026-01-14T07:05:01Z

Yeah I can completly wait until you finished your work and do my PR after that, It was my intention to be honest . Resolving conflicts or rebasing is not an issue for me.

I have reworked my code and moved everything to rustc_attr_parsing and rustc_hir/src/attrs/data_structures.rs. Few questions/remarks remain:

Perhaps, It would make sense to allow this diagnostic attribute to be used only for nightly, for now, what do you think ?
I can wait until some refactoring for attributes are merged upstream, and wait for my PR being merged after that, if it helps, no problems for me

Rebased onto main, I have also fixed the size of AttributeKind::OnMove

Rebased onto main. I have covered changes related to #151516 .
I assume that changes are still underway in rustc_attr_parsing , but I would be nice to discuss about generic meta item list errors:

Do a generic lint will be emitted by the parser itself in this case ? Instead of the parser of each diagnostic attribute has to do it by itself.. it would be better for code refactoring.
In case this is not the case, it might be helpful to being able to retrieve the span of the error instead of the span of the whole diagnostic attribute (better granularity) . See the previous discussion.

If I can help for this (by proposing a patch for a generic lint, for example), feel free to ask.

This PR was rebased onto a different main commit. Here's a range-diff highlighting what actually changed.

Rebasing is a normal part of keeping PRs up to date, so no action is needed—this note is just to help reviewers.

rperier · 2026-03-11T16:00:49Z

Except my last remark regarding the Copy trait, everything should be fixed.

@rustbot ready

No problem, have nice holidays then 😉

I think this PR is fine the way it currently is :)
I checked that all previous conversations are resolved, and fully went through the changes one more time.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks for your time and your feedbacks ! Next step is perhaps update the documentation regarding this diagnostic attribute, what do you think ?

This is unstable, so it should be in the unstable book, not the reference. See https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/unstable-book/language-features/diagnostic-on-const.html for example. It's up to you whether you do this or how much effort you put into this. It'd be nice if it's written in a "referencey" way; that'll be nice for when it gets stabilized.

@JonathanBrouwer #149862 can be closed now.

This should be pointing to a tracking issue (please make one!), not this PR.

…o_the_tracking_issue, r=JonathanBrouwer Update the tracking issue for #[diagnostic::on_move] PR rust-lang#150935 has been merged and then I have opened the tracking issue (whoops ?). So this update `compiler/rustc_feature/src/unstable.rs` to point to the right tracking issue. This is related to the tracking issue rust-lang#154181
