Summary
Found while fixing this one #12406.
It has existed probably since this lint was created, but became problematic once the clippy-fix was added.
The problem is that check_path will get each path separately, i.e. for:
use std::{fmt::Result, io::Write};
There will be two passes, and to the code, the paths will look like:
use std::fmt::Result;
// And separately
use std::io::Write;
But, the code will deduce that they are from the same import because the std-span is the same on those two passes, and it keeps the last span saved.
// Not problematic, will skip everything after the first io::Write which can't be taken from core
use std::{io::Write, fmt::Result};
// Is problematic, since it will recognize that fmt::Result can be taken from core
use std::{fmt::Result, io::Write};
There's some nuance here, in the case that the path is a part of a stacked import, each path in that import needs to be known to ensure that the fix will be valid, and at least with check_path that's hard to know without looking ahead.
Reproducer
I tried this code:
use std::{fmt::Result, io::Write};
I expected to see this happen:
Warn that std::fmt::Result can be imported from core and either:
- Don't fix, since
core::io::Write does not exist.
- Fix by splitting up the import.
Instead, this happened:
std is replaced by core which doesn't compile.
