rustdoc-json: Dangling ID when pub useing item from #[doc(hidden)] module

[aDotInTheVoid]

With the following code:

#[doc(hidden)]
pub mod __secrets {
    pub struct Foo;
}

pub use __secrets::Foo;

It has a dangling ID:

---- [rustdoc-json] tests/rustdoc-json/reexport/pub_use_from_doc_hidden_mod.rs stdout ----

------------------------------------------

As it has the following json (redacted)

  "index": {
    "0:0:1751": {
      "inner": {"module": {"is_crate": true, "is_stripped": false, "items": ["0:6-0:4:1750"]}},
      "name": "pub_use_from_doc_hidden_mod"
    },
    "0:6-0:4:1750": {
      "inner": {"import": {"glob": false, "id": "0:4:1750", "name": "Foo", "source": "__secrets::Foo"}},
      "name": null
    },

In HTML, Foo is inlined to the crate root.

Do you plan to work on it? Otherwise I'll do it in the next days.

[aDotInTheVoid]

Go ahead, I'd be happy to review

[GuillaumeGomez]

Thanks in advance then. :)

So there seems to have multiple issues around reexports in the JSON output format. For example:

pub mod submodule {
    #[doc(hidden)]
    pub struct Hidden {}
}

pub use submodule::Hidden as UsedHidden;

Neither UsedHidden nor Hidden are generated in the output JSON, which is problematic. Based on that, I suppose we want to follow the rules of the HTML output and inline UsedHidden. Same goes for pub use __secrets::Foo;.

[GuillaumeGomez]

From what I can see, we simply keep (some) private items around, I suppose we should do the same with doc(hidden).
