[PATCH v3 2/2] scripts: generate_rust_analyzer.py: fix IDE support for primitive types
From: Jesung Yang via B4 Relay
Date: Sat Mar 07 2026 - 18:30:49 EST
From: Jesung Yang <y.j3ms.n@xxxxxxxxx>
Update `generate_rust_analyzer.py` so that the generated
`rust-project.json` contains the `sysroot_src` field with
`"crate_attrs": ["no_std"]` specified for relevant crates. This ensures
that rust-analyzer provides proper IDE support for inherent methods of
primitive types.
Since commit 50384460c68f ("Rewrite method resolution to follow rustc
more closely") to rust-analyzer, it no longer provides language server
features like code completion and go-to-definition for inherent methods
of primitive types when sysroot crates (e.g., `core`, `std`) are inlined
in `rust-project.json` [1]. As `generate_rust_analyzer.py` currently
inlines these crates, our setup is affected by this change.
Specifying the `sysroot_src` field restores this functionality by
allowing rust-analyzer to locate sysroot crates by itself. However, this
causes `std` to be treated as a dependency for all local crates by
default. To align with our compilation settings, provide the `no_std`
attribute via the `crate_attrs` field, as the `-Zcrate-attr=no_std`
compiler flag is not visible to rust-analyzer. This combined approach
removes manual manipulation of sysroot dependencies while preventing
incorrect symbol resolution against the standard library.
Note that this configuration requires rust-analyzer release 2025-12-22
(v0.3.2727) or later, which introduced support for the `crate_attrs`
field.
