   Tool author here. I wrote cargo-inspect because I wanted to know more about the inner workings of Rust. The compiler actually provides a lot of information that tools like cargo-inspect can simply format and visualize.

   It works best with small input snippets, but it also supports crates. Just keep in mind that the output can be a bit overwhelming in that case.

   I gave a talk about the tool at FOSDEM, Brussels 2019 here.

   For a similar tool that uses the same compiler internals but formats it a little differently, try cargo-expand.
   It is more well-maintained, but cargo-inspect also supports diffing two snippets to see the changes the compiler makes.
