In Rust, nesting method calls with both require `&mut` access to `self`
produces a borrow-check error:
error[E0499]: cannot borrow `*self` as mutable more than once at a time
--> src/lib.rs:7:14
|
7 | self.foo(self.bar());
| ---------^^^^^^^^^^-
| | | |
| | | second mutable borrow occurs here
| | first borrow later used by call
| first mutable borrow occurs here
That's because Rust has a left-to-right evaluation order, and the method
receiver is passed first. Thus, the argument to the method cannot then
mutate `self`.
There's an easy solution to this error: just extract a local variable
for the inner argument:
let tmp = self.bar();
self.foo(tmp);
However, the error doesn't give any suggestion of how to solve the
problem. As a result, new users may assume that it's impossible to
express their code correctly and get stuck.
This commit adds a (non-structured) suggestion to extract a local
variable for the inner argument to solve the error. The suggestion uses
heuristics that eliminate most false positives, though there are a few
false negatives (cases where the suggestion should be emitted but is
not). Those other cases can be implemented in a future change.

Currently, we use a relatively 'small' span for THIR
expressions generated by an 'adjustment' (e.g. an autoderef,
autoborrow, unsizing). As a result, if a borrow generated
by an adustment ends up causing a borrowcheck error, for example:
```rust
let mut my_var = String::new();
let my_ref = &my_var
my_var.push('a');
my_ref;
```
then the span for the mutable borrow may end up referring
to only the base expression (e.g. `my_var`), rather than
the method call which triggered the mutable borrow
(e.g. `my_var.push('a')`)
Due to a quirk of the MIR borrowck implementation,
this doesn't always get exposed in migration mode,
but it does in many cases.
This commit makes THIR building consistently use 'larger'
spans for adjustment expressions
The intent of this change it make it clearer to users
when it's the specific way in which a variable is
used (for example, in a method call) that produdes
a borrowcheck error. For example, an error message
claiming that a 'mutable borrow occurs here' might
be confusing if it just points at a usage of a variable
(e.g. `my_var`), when no `&mut` is in sight. Pointing
at the entire expression should help to emphasize
that the method call itself is responsible for
the mutable borrow.
In several cases, this makes the `#![feature(nll)]` diagnostic
output match up exactly with the default (migration mode) output.
As a result, several `.nll.stderr` files end up getting removed
entirely.
