A path without generic args, like `Reader`, currently has JSON produced
like this:
```
{"path":"Reader","id":286,"args":{"angle_bracketed":{"args":[],"constraints":[]}}}
```
Even though `types::Path::args` is `Option` and allows for "no args",
instead it gets represented as "empty args". (More like `Reader<>` than
`Reader`.)
This is due to a problem in `clean::Path::from_clean`. It only produces
`None` if the path is an empty string. This commit changes it to also
produce `None` if there are no generic args. The example above becomes:
```
{"path":"Reader","id":286,"args":null}
```
I looked at a few examples and saw this reduce the size of the JSON
output by 3-9%.
The commit also adds an assertion that non-final segments don't have any
generics; something the old code was implicitly relying on.
Note: the original sin here is that `clean::PathSegment::args` is not an
`Option`, unlike `{ast,hir}::PathSegment::args`. I want to fix that, but
it can be done separately.
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
