Help wanted: broken intra-doc link to method on pub type alias when the underlying stuff is `#[doc(hidden)]`
⚓ Rust 📅 2026-07-12 👤 surdeus 👁️ 1#![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_cfg))]
#[doc(hidden)]
pub struct FooHidden {}
pub type Foo = FooHidden;
impl Foo {
pub fn foo() {}
/// See [`foo`].
///
/// [`foo`]: Self::foo
pub fn bar() {}
}
This is the minimum example, just build docs with cargo docs-rs (cargo rustdoc -Zunstable-options -Zrustdoc-map --lib --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --config='build.rustdocflags=["-Zunstable-options", "--cfg=docsrs", "--extern-html-root-takes-precedence"]' --config='doc.extern-map.registries.crates-io="https://docs.rs"' --verbose) and the generated link to Foo::foo is broken:
If I remove #[doc(hidden)], it works:
Q: is it an expected behaviour? If so, what should I do to make the intra-doc link work when the underlying stuff is #[doc(hidden)]?
