ICE: rustdoc: attempted to remap an already remapped filename

[ojeda]

Code

echo 'macro_rules! f(() => {});' > x.rs
RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 rustdoc -Zunstable-options --remap-path-prefix=./= ./x.rs

It reproduces with rustdoc, but not rustc.

We hit this building the documentation for the Linux kernel (for our custom compiler_builtins crate).

Meta

rustc 1.82.0 (f6e511eec 2024-10-15)
rustc 1.85.0 (4d91de4e4 2025-02-17)
rustc 1.86.0-beta.5 (b2af9a598 2025-03-08)
rustc 1.87.0-nightly (cbfdf0b01 2025-03-13)

It does not reproduce in 1.81.0, when the flag was introduced to rustdoc, but I imagine it is simply due to commit fd89197 ("Fix rustdoc missing handling of remap-path-prefix option").

Error output
