[PATCH 1/2] rust: syn: make rust-analyzer treat `std` as a dependency
From: Jesung Yang
Date: Tue Nov 25 2025 - 04:38:36 EST
Fix the `generate_rust_analyzer.py` script to ensure that the
`rust-project.json` it produces includes `std` in the `deps` field for
the `syn` crate.
`syn` directly references items from `std`, so rust-analyzer should
treat it as a dependency to provide correct IDE support.
For example, `syn::Punctuated` contains fields of type `Vec<..>` and
`Option<..>`, both of which come from the standard library prelude.
With `std` listed in the `deps` field, rust-analyzer can infer the types
of these fields instead of showing `{unknown}`.
Verified the explicit uses of `std` using:
grep -rn 'std::' rust/syn/
