Fixes #158158

suggest_first_deref_field blindly applied span math (shrink_to_lo(), between()) to generate a dereference suggestion for E0609. When the base expression and field access originate from different macro expansions, the SyntaxContext mismatch caused the span combinations to fail. This resulted in the compiler falling back to incorrect source locations and generating malformed replacement strings like &mut (*)..

  • Added a span.from_expansion() guard at the top of suggest_first_deref_field to check both base.span and field.span.
  • Suppressed the multipart suggestion entirely when inside macro expansions to prevent emitting broken syntax, bypassing complex and unreliable cross-macro span traversals.
  • Added a new UI test to ensure the standard E0609 error is emitted cleanly without the garbled help: label.

Fix invalid E0609 raw pointer deref suggestion inside macros

Fixes rust-lang#158158

`suggest_first_deref_field` blindly applied span math (`shrink_to_lo()`, `between()`) to generate a dereference suggestion for E0609. When the base expression and field access originate from different macro expansions, the `SyntaxContext` mismatch caused the span combinations to fail. This resulted in the compiler falling back to incorrect source locations and generating malformed replacement strings like `&mut (*).`.

* Added a `span.from_expansion()` guard at the top of `suggest_first_deref_field` to check both `base.span` and `field.span`.
* Suppressed the multipart suggestion entirely when inside macro expansions to prevent emitting broken syntax, bypassing complex and unreliable cross-macro span traversals.
* Added a new UI test to ensure the standard E0609 error is emitted cleanly without the garbled `help:` label.
