Double reexport of non-public item is not listed as reexport #108679
Description
pub mod a {
mod b {
pub struct B;
}
pub use b::B;
pub struct A;
}
pub use a::{A, B};When running cargo doc with the above code, the docs list the following items:
Docs
Crate foo
Re-exports
pub use a::A;
Modules
a
Structs
B
Module foo::a
Structs
A
B
I would expect a::B to be listed as a reexport, not a struct. The way it is now, it looks like foo::B and foo::a::B are different types, which is not the case.
If a::b is made pub, everything looks as it's supposed to.

It's the intended behaviour. Since the
bmodule is private,pub use b::Bis inlining the item intoa.Kyuuhachi commentedon Mar 3, 2023
Yes, but
crate::a::Bis public, so should it really be inlined a second time?GuillaumeGomez commentedon Mar 3, 2023
Ok sorry I misunderstood what you meant. No, it shouldn't be inlined a second time.
