Compiler panics when documenting sub-crate with links to types of super-crate on latest nightly

[Lythenas]

When I run cargo doc on this repo (branch refactor-datatypes) I receive an internal compiler error.

Everything works fine on stable (cargo +stable doc). Also everything works if I remove the links in the doc comments.

[Lythenas]

I removed the links in the latest commits so I can document on nightly. The latest commit that still contains the links is: Lythenas/rust-orgmode@b1c65e8

[Lythenas]

I experimented a little more and found the following:

When I have a doc comment with one link everything works:

/// ...
/// [`SharedBehavior`]
/// ...

Also when specifying the link target it works:

/// ...
/// [`SharedBehavior`]
/// ...
/// [`SharedBehavior`]: ../rust_orgmode/types/trait.SharedBehavior.html

When there is more than one link in one doc comment the compiler panics:

/// ...
/// [`SharedBehavior`]
/// [`HasAffiliatedKeywords`]
/// ...

Even when one of them has a link target:

/// ...
/// [`SharedBehavior`]
/// [`HasAffiliatedKeywords`]
/// ...
/// [`SharedBehavior`]: ../rust_orgmode/types/trait.SharedBehavior.html

But it works when both links have a target:

/// ...
/// [`SharedBehavior`]
/// [`HasAffiliatedKeywords`]
/// ...
/// [`SharedBehavior`]: ../rust_orgmode/types/trait.SharedBehavior.html
/// [`HasAffiliatedKeywords`]: ../rust_orgmode/types/trait.HasAffiliatedKeywords.html

Also this does not happen in the main crate only in the sub-crate. I followed the proc macro guide in the book and created a subfolder named "rust-orgmode-derive. And in the Cargo.toml of the main crate I added rust-orgmode-derive = { path = "rust-orgmode-derive" } to the dependencies.

I just tried to document that commit you linked with rustdoc 1.33.0-nightly (b92552d55 2019-01-06), and it did not give the same ICE. It looks like this issue has been fixed?

[Lythenas]

With the above commit I still get the same error using rustc 1.33.0-nightly (4c2be9c97 2019-01-22).

[QuietMisdreavus]

I'm afraid i'm not seeing it. Is this the right commit?

Aha! I looked again and it turns out i'm documenting the wrong crate.

It looks like #57846 fixes this issue as well!

[Lythenas]

Sorry I forgot to mention that you have to swap two lines to get it to compile. Because now you have to put attributes before derive, which was not the case when I wrote this.

But thanks for fixing this 👍
