    Add `-Z span-debug` to allow for easier debugging of proc macros · b541d3da
    Aaron Hill 提交于
    Currently, the `Debug` impl for `proc_macro::Span` just prints out
    the byte range. This can make debugging proc macros (either as a crate
    author or as a compiler developer) very frustrating, since neither the
    actual filename nor the `SyntaxContext` is displayed.
    
    This commit adds a perma-unstable flag `-Z span-debug`. When enabled,
    the `Debug` impl for `proc_macro::Span` simply forwards directly to
    `rustc_span::Span`. Once #72618 is merged, this will start displaying
    actual line numbers.
    
    While `Debug` impls are not subject to Rust's normal stability
    guarnatees, we probably shouldn't expose any additional information on
    stable until `#![feature(proc_macro_span)]` is stabilized. Otherwise,
    we would be providing a 'backdoor' way to access information that's
    supposed be behind unstable APIs.
