Double reexport of non-public item is not listed as reexport

[Kyuuhachi]

pub mod a {
    mod b {
        pub struct B;
    }
    pub use b::B;
    pub struct A;
}

pub use a::{A, B};

When running cargo doc with the above code, the docs list the following items:

Docs

Crate foo

Re-exports

pub use a::A;

Modules

a

Structs

B

Module foo::a

Structs

A
B

I would expect a::B to be listed as a reexport, not a struct. The way it is now, it looks like foo::B and foo::a::B are different types, which is not the case.

If a::b is made pub, everything looks as it's supposed to.

It's the intended behaviour. Since the b module is private, pub use b::B is inlining the item into a.

[Kyuuhachi]

Yes, but crate::a::B is public, so should it really be inlined a second time?

[GuillaumeGomez]

Ok sorry I misunderstood what you meant. No, it shouldn't be inlined a second time.
