[red-knot] Reachability analysis by sharkdp · Pull Request #17199 · astral-sh/ruff

sharkdp · 2025-04-04T11:11:53Z

Summary

This PR proposes a new approach to silencing unresolved-reference diagnostics by keeping track of the reachability of each use of a symbol. The changes merged in #17169 are still needed for the "Use of variable in nested function" test case, but that could also be solved in another way eventually (see astral-sh/ty#210). We can use the same technique to silence unresolved-import and unresolved-attribute false-positives, but I think this could be merged in isolation.

Test Plan

New Markdown tests, ecosystem tests

I'm completely fine with keeping this more concise.

+### Attributes
+
+When attribute expressions appear in unreachable code, we should not emit `unresolved-attribute`
+diagnostics:
+
+```py
+import sys
+import builtins
+
+if sys.version_info >= (3, 11):
+    # TODO
+    # error: [unresolved-attribute]
+    builtins.ExceptionGroup
+```
+
+### Imports
+
+When import statements appear in unreachable code, we should not emit `unresolved-import`
+diagnostics:
+
+```py
+import sys
+
+if sys.version_info >= (3, 11):
+    # TODO
+    # error: [unresolved-import]
+    from builtins import ExceptionGroup
+
+    # TODO
+    # error: [unresolved-import]
+    import builtins.ExceptionGroup
+
+    # See https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.11.html#new-modules
+
+    # TODO
+    # error: [unresolved-import]
+    import tomllib
+
+    # TODO
+    # error: [unresolved-import]
+    import wsgiref.types
+```


I will leave attributes and imports for a follow up. I want to get some feedback on this first.

 In the example below, since we use `x` in the `inner` function, we use the "public" type of `x`,
 which currently refers to the end-of-scope type of `x`. Since the end of the `outer` scope is
-unreachable, we treat `x` as if it was not defined. This behavior can certainly be improved.


Nothing changed in this test, but this explanation was outdated. And the return x # … below as confusing.

    def inner():
-        return x  # Name `x` used when not defined
+        reveal_type(x)  # revealed: Unknown


The fact that we reveal Unknown here is tracked in https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/15777

-FEATURE_X_ACTIVATED = False
+from typing import Literal
+
+FEATURE_X_ACTIVATED: Literal[False] = False


We don't support Final yet, so I needed to declare this as Literal[False]. Otherwise, the public type (which we use below) would be Unknown | Literal[False].

Looks good to me!
