Inlined documentation loses lifetime parameters on functions

Updated description

Lifetime parameters on functions are missing

Original description

Rustdoc inlining papercuts

There's still some papercuts with inlined documentation:

• Lifetime parameters on functions are missing
• Implementations for traits on primitives are missing

[emberian]

It'd also be nice if it showed a little "reexported from" blurb.

[wycats]

Perhaps something like:

stdin re-exported from std::io::stdio

or:

Re-Exports:

stdin (from std::io::stdio)
stdout (from std::io::stdio)
...

Updated with what's left

[tomjakubowski]

This can be closed (although we should probably add a test).

update: Erm, no, it can't; the parameter list is missing.

Currently:

steve@warmachine:~/tmp/foo$ cat src/lib.rs 
pub fn elided(r: &i32) -> &i32 { r }
pub fn not<'a>(r: &'a i32) -> &'a i32 { r }

shows

And the original method in the example doesn't exist anymore. I think I'm treating this one as "innocent until proven guilty"

[tomjakubowski]

This issue was about inlined documentation, i.e. documentation for functions which are re-exported from another crate. A single-crate test case doesn't suffice to close this issue.

[tomjakubowski]

Here's an example showing why this issue should still be open:

collections docs for String::from_utf8_lossy, includes the <'a> to declare the named lifetime:

http://doc.rust-lang.org/collections/string/struct.String.html#method.from_utf8_lossy

std docs for String::from_utf_8_lossy, doesn't include the<'a> to declare the named lifetime:

http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/string/struct.String.html#method.from_utf8_lossy

[steveklabnik]

Understood! Thanks for elaborating.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

Looking at collections on nightly, this appears to have regressed since beta -- even collections doesn't show the 'a lifetime now.

We are fine now?

This looks to be resolved. Thanks :)
