This pull request fixes #85255. The current implementation of dead code analysis is too prudent because it marks all
pub
fields of structs as live, even though they cannot be accessed from outside of the current crate if the struct itself only has restricted or private visibility.I have changed this behavior to take the containing struct's visibility into account when looking at field visibility and liveness. This also makes dead code warnings more consistent; consider the example given in #85255:
Current nightly already warns about
Bar::b()
, even though it ispub
(butBar
is not). It should therefore also warn aboutFoo::b
, which it does with the changes in this PR.
