[PATCH 3/5] rust: pin-init: doc: de-clutter documentation with fake-variadics
From: Benno Lossin
Date: Thu Mar 19 2026 - 05:41:26 EST
From: Gary Guo <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently the doc for `Zeroable` and `ZeroableOption` are filled with the
generated impl of tuples and fn pointers. Use the internal
"fake_variadics" feature to improve the rendered quality.
This makes use of an internal feature, however this is of minimal risk as
it's for documentation only, not activated during normal build, gated
behind `USE_RUSTC_FEATURES`, and can be removed at any time. This feature
is already used by serde and bevy to improve documentation quality.
For compilers that cannot use this feature, we still hide most generated
impls, and the existence of them are hinted by doc comments on the single
non-hidden impl.
