error_codes.rs

//! Tidy check to ensure error codes are properly documented and tested.
//!
//! Overview of check:
//!
//! 1. We create a list of error codes used by the compiler. Error codes are extracted from `compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/lib.rs`.
//!
//! 2. We check that the error code has a long-form explanation in `compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/`.
//!   - The explanation is expected to contain a `doctest` that fails with the correct error code. (`EXEMPT_FROM_DOCTEST` *currently* bypasses this check)
//!   - Note that other stylistic conventions for markdown files are checked in the `style.rs` tidy check.
//!
//! 3. We check that the error code has a UI test in `tests/ui/error-codes/`.
//!   - We ensure that there is both a `Exxxx.rs` file and a corresponding `Exxxx.stderr` file.
//!   - We also ensure that the error code is used in the tests.
//!   - *Currently*, it is possible to opt-out of this check with the `EXEMPTED_FROM_TEST` constant.
//!
//! 4. We check that the error code is actually emitted by the compiler.
//!   - This is done by searching `compiler/` with a regex.
