Cherry-pick of #58857
Explanation: This PR adds new fields to the
docComment
structure in symbol graphs:uri
andmodule
, to indicate where given documentation came from. When documentation is inherited, the comment could from a different file or even a different module, creating confusing situations if a tool needs to parse these comments, like Swift-DocC does for symbol links. Adding this information allows Swift-DocC to emit the right source location for warnings it might emit based on doc comment information.Scope: Restricted to SymbolGraphGen - the new fields are not emitted if the information is not available.
Bug: rdar://81190369
Risk: Low. This should not affect normal compilation.
Testing: A new lit test,
SymbolGraph/Symbols/Mixins/DocComment/SourceModule.swift
, has been added to verify that the source module correctly indicates where a doc comment came from. Existing lit tests which verifieddocComment
information have also been updated to reflect the new data.
