Improve error msgs when found type is deref of expected #82364

osa1 · 2021-02-21T10:30:42Z

This improves help messages in two cases:

When expected type is T and found type is &T, we now look through blocks
and suggest dereferencing the expression of the block, rather than the whole
block.
In the above case, if the expression is an &, we not suggest removing the
& instead of adding *.

Both of these are demonstrated in the regression test. Before this patch the
first error in the test would be:

error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
 --> test.rs:8:9
  |
5 | /     if true {
6 | |         a
  | |         - expected because of this
7 | |     } else {
8 | |         b
  | |         ^ expected `usize`, found `&usize`
9 | |     };
  | |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types
  |
help: consider dereferencing the borrow
  |
7 |     } else *{
8 |         b
9 |     };
  |

Now:

error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
 --> test.rs:8:9
  |
5 | /     if true {
6 | |         a
  | |         - expected because of this
7 | |     } else {
8 | |         b
  | |         ^
  | |         |
  | |         expected `usize`, found `&usize`
  | |         help: consider dereferencing the borrow: `*b`
9 | |     };
  | |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types

The second error:

error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
  --> test.rs:14:9
   |
11 | /     if true {
12 | |         1
   | |         - expected because of this
13 | |     } else {
14 | |         &1
   | |         ^^ expected integer, found `&{integer}`
15 | |     };
   | |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types
   |
help: consider dereferencing the borrow
   |
13 |     } else *{
14 |         &1
15 |     };
   |

now:

error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
  --> test.rs:14:9
   |
11 | /     if true {
12 | |         1
   | |         - expected because of this
13 | |     } else {
14 | |         &1
   | |         ^-
   | |         ||
   | |         |help: consider removing the `&`: `1`
   | |         expected integer, found `&{integer}`
15 | |     };
   | |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types

Fixes #82361

There's one minor change that is needed for the suggestion to be correct, otherwise <3.

@estebank I had to rebase this so this needs another approval now :-(
