Adding a comment next to `#![feature(ptr_metadata,)]` silences failing doctests

[raldone01]

Reproduce

https://github.com/ink-feather-org/trait_cast_rs/tree/80a0a0994dfdbf5e8b6978879ce3205188401df1

1:

git clone https://github.com/ink-feather-org/trait_cast_rs.git
git checkout 80a0a0994dfdbf5e8b6978879ce3205188401df1
cargo test --all-features

All tests pass!

2:

Remove the comment in line 43 of the README.md:

#![feature(
  ptr_metadata, // <- Remove this comment
)]
use trait_cast_rs::{
  make_trait_castable, TraitcastableAny, TraitcastableAnyInfra, TraitcastableAnyInfraExt,
};
#[make_trait_castable(Print)]
struct Source(i32);
...

Next run the tests again:

cargo test --all-features

Oh no! The test fails with E0119.

What is going on?!? I did not expect the comment breaking anything.

The bug appears to be not that your test fails, but rather that it suceeds when you add the comment.
Here is a reduced example:

/*!
```rust
#![feature(
  foo, //
)]
```
*/

This as a sole lib.rs should fail after cargo test because foo isn't a feature, but it silently suceeds with the comment. Removing it causes the test to fail as expected.

In 1.81, this code still errored correctly, but it was accepted in 1.82 and above.

Would be good to get a more precise bisection and a more self-contained MCVE, looks not ideal.

Wait on hold, @cyrgani to double-check, do you mean this as a doctest?

cc @GuillaumeGomez as this bisects to #126245, do you know if this is intended behavior change?
