missing_debug_implementations lint is ignored for extern_types

[crumblingstatue]

#![feature(extern_types)]

#![warn(missing_debug_implementations)]

pub enum Foo {}
extern "C" {
    pub type Bar;
}

Foo gets a warning, but Bar doesn't:

warning: type does not implement `fmt::Debug`; consider adding #[derive(Debug)] or a manual implementation
 --> foo.rs:5:1
  |
5 | pub enum Foo {}
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
note: lint level defined here
 --> foo.rs:3:9

I call out to @kennytm: Sorry if I'm bothering you, but you were great at fixing the previous 2 issues with extern_types, maybe this is something you can easily tackle.

Triage: no changes.

That said, I'm not 100% sure that this is incorrect; given that an extern type is "some type we don't know the size or layout of", how would we possibly get a Debug implementation for it?

Extern types are commonly used with FFI, so an implementation could look something like:

extern "C" {
    pub type Bar;

    pub fn BAR_is_healthy(bar: *const Bar) -> bool;
}

impl Debug for Bar {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_struct("Bar")
            .field("is_healthy", unsafe { &BAR_is_healthy(self) })
            .finish()
    }
}
