Description

https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/31f22d85491d9e7eaadf5fd4f9754c83fc0f3ea6/crates/ra_ide_api/src/matching_brace.rs#L41

swap the order of do_check parameters the makes the test case failed

do_check("struct Foo <|>{ a: i32, }", "struct Foo { a: i32, }<|>");

this matching behavior should be symmetrical

https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/31f22d85491d9e7eaadf5fd4f9754c83fc0f3ea6/crates/ra_ide_api/src/matching_brace.rs#L18-L19

if the matching node is a left brace, we use start(), if the matching node is a right brace, we should use end()

Research direction

Start in crates/ra_ide_api/src/matching_brace.rs, especially the matching_brace function and its do_check test helper. Reproduce the supplied struct Foo case with the parameter order swapped, then verify that jumping from an opening brace to its closing brace is symmetrical with the reverse direction.
