`make install` is failing

We seem to break make install completely once every few months, because buildbot doesn’t actually try doing make install…

+1. I can confirm I'm getting the same error.

//! ## Loading transitive dependencies
//!
//! Dealing with same-named-but-distinct crates is not just a local problem, but
//! one that also needs to be dealt with for transitive dependencies. Note that
//! in the letter above `--extern` flags only apply to the *local* set of
//! dependencies, not the upstream transitive dependencies. Consider this
//! dependency graph:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! A.1   A.2
//! |     |
//! |     |
//! B     C
//!  \   /
//!   \ /
//!    D
//! ```

There are two similar figures in librustc/middle/infer/doc.rs

Can confirm also, getting same error.

[Kintaro]

Same here. Buildbot should include a make install step to capture stuff like that.

+1.

git log src/librustdoc showed 096a286 was the last commit which directly modified src/librustdoc. But that version didn't suffer from this problem. So I tried git bisect. git bisect start master 096a286 followed by git bisect run ./bs.sh (basically rm -rf doc, configure and then make -j8 compiler-docs) told me 8ba5605 was the first bad commit.

@steveklabnik Can you look into this issue? As I already posted, the error seems to be because ignore cannot contain an arbitrary text which resembles to an escaped character.

[steveklabnik]

Ugh, yes, some of these should be annotated text.

[steveklabnik]

Okay, make install fails for me. It seems like the blocsk are properly annotated text, though :/
