Fix#88284.
Stabilize `impl_trait_projections`
Closes#115659
## TL;DR:
This allows us to mention `Self` and `T::Assoc` in async fn and return-position `impl Trait`, as you would expect you'd be able to.
Some examples:
```rust
#![feature(return_position_impl_trait_in_trait, async_fn_in_trait)]
// (just needed for final tests below)
// ---------------------------------------- //
struct Wrapper<'a, T>(&'a T);
impl Wrapper<'_, ()> {
async fn async_fn() -> Self {
//^ Previously rejected because it returns `-> Self`, not `-> Wrapper<'_, ()>`.
Wrapper(&())
}
fn impl_trait() -> impl Iterator<Item = Self> {
//^ Previously rejected because it mentions `Self`, not `Wrapper<'_, ()>`.
std::iter::once(Wrapper(&()))
}
}
// ---------------------------------------- //
trait Trait<'a> {
type Assoc;
fn new() -> Self::Assoc;
}
impl Trait<'_> for () {
type Assoc = ();
fn new() {}
}
impl<'a, T: Trait<'a>> Wrapper<'a, T> {
async fn mk_assoc() -> T::Assoc {
//^ Previously rejected because `T::Assoc` doesn't mention `'a` in the HIR,
// but ends up resolving to `<T as Trait<'a>>::Assoc`, which does rely on `'a`.
// That's the important part -- the elided trait.
T::new()
}
fn a_few_assocs() -> impl Iterator<Item = T::Assoc> {
//^ Previously rejected for the same reason
[T::new(), T::new(), T::new()].into_iter()
}
}
// ---------------------------------------- //
trait InTrait {
async fn async_fn() -> Self;
fn impl_trait() -> impl Iterator<Item = Self>;
}
impl InTrait for &() {
async fn async_fn() -> Self { &() }
//^ Previously rejected just like inherent impls
fn impl_trait() -> impl Iterator<Item = Self> {
//^ Previously rejected just like inherent impls
[&()].into_iter()
}
}
```
## Technical:
Lifetimes in return-position `impl Trait` (and `async fn`) are duplicated as early-bound generics local to the opaque in order to make sure we are able to substitute any late-bound lifetimes from the function in the opaque's hidden type. (The [dev guide](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/return-position-impl-trait-in-trait.html#aside-opaque-lifetime-duplication) has a small section about why this is necessary -- this was written for RPITITs, but it applies to all RPITs)
Prior to #103491, all of the early-bound lifetimes not local to the opaque were replaced with `'static` to avoid issues where relating opaques caused their *non-captured* lifetimes to be related. This `'static` replacement led to strange and possibly unsound behaviors (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/61949#issuecomment-508836314) (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53613) when referencing the `Self` type alias in an impl or indirectly referencing a lifetime parameter via a projection type (via a `T::Assoc` projection without an explicit trait), since lifetime resolution is performed on the HIR, when neither `T::Assoc`-style projections or `Self` in impls are expanded.
Therefore an error was implemented in #62849 to deny this subtle behavior as a known limitation of the compiler. It was attempted by `@cjgillot` to fix this in #91403, which was subsequently unlanded. Then it was re-attempted to much success (🎉) in #103491, which is where we currently are in the compiler.
The PR above (#103491) fixed this issue technically by *not* replacing the opaque's parent lifetimes with `'static`, but instead using variance to properly track which lifetimes are captured and are not. The PR gated any of the "side-effects" of the PR behind a feature gate (`impl_trait_projections`) presumably to avoid having to involve T-lang or T-types in the PR as well. `@cjgillot` can clarify this if I'm misunderstanding what their intention was with the feature gate.
Since we're not replacing (possibly *invariant*!) lifetimes with `'static` anymore, there are no more soundness concerns here. Therefore, this PR removes the feature gate.

repr(transparent): it's fine if the one non-1-ZST field is a ZST
This code currently gets rejected:
```rust
#[repr(transparent)]
struct MyType([u16; 0])
```
That clearly seems like a bug to me: `repr(transparent)` [got defined ](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77841#issuecomment-716575747) as having any number of 1-ZST fields plus optionally one more field; `MyType` clearly satisfies that definition.
This PR changes the `repr(transparent)` logic to actually match that definition.
Rework `no_coverage` to `coverage(off)`
As discussed at the tail of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84605 this replaces the `no_coverage` attribute with a `coverage` attribute that takes sub-parameters (currently `off` and `on`) to control the coverage instrumentation.
Allows future-proofing for things like `coverage(off, reason="Tested live", issue="#12345")` or similar.
Resolve visibility paths as modules not as types.
Asking for a resolution with `opt_ns = Some(TypeNS)` allows path resolution to look for type-relative paths, leaving unresolved segments behind. However, for visibility paths we really need to look for a module, so we need to pass `opt_ns = None`.

Forbid old-style `simd_shuffleN` intrinsics
Don't merge before https://github.com/rust-lang/packed_simd/pull/350 has made its way to crates.io
We used to support specifying the lane length of simd_shuffle ops by attaching the lane length to the name of the intrinsic (like `simd_shuffle16`). After this PR, you cannot do that anymore, and need to instead either rely on inference of the `idx` argument type or specify it as `simd_shuffle::<_, [u32; 16], _>`.
r? `@workingjubilee`
It lints against features that are inteded to be internal to the
compiler and standard library. Implements MCP #596.
We allow `internal_features` in the standard library and compiler as those
use many features and this _is_ the standard library from the "internal to the compiler and
standard library" after all.
Marking some features as internal wasn't exactly the most scientific approach, I just marked some
mostly obvious features. While there is a categorization in the macro,
it's not very well upheld (should probably be fixed in another PR).
We always pass `-Ainternal_features` in the testsuite
About 400 UI tests and several other tests use internal features.
Instead of throwing the attribute on each one, just always allow them.
There's nothing wrong with testing internal features^^
Include the computed alignment of the violating field when rejecting
transparent types with non-trivially aligned ZSTs.
ZST member fields in transparent types must have an alignment of 1 (to
ensure it does not raise the layout requirements of the transparent
field). The current error message looks like this:
LL | struct Foobar(u32, [u32; 0]);
| ^^^^^^^^ has alignment larger than 1
This patch changes the report to include the alignment of the violating
field:
LL | struct Foobar(u32, [u32; 0]);
| ^^^^^^^^ has alignment of 4, which is larger than 1
In case of unknown alignments, it will yield:
LL | struct Foobar<T>(u32, [T; 0]);
| ^^^^^^ may have alignment larger than 1
This allows developers to get a better grasp why a specific field is
rejected. Knowing the alignment of the violating field makes it easier
to judge where that alignment-requirement originates, and thus hopefully
provide better hints on how to mitigate the problem.
This idea was proposed in 2022 in #98071 as part of a bigger change.
This commit simply extracts this error-message change, to decouple it
from the other diagnostic improvements.
Various changes to name resolution of anon consts
Sorry this PR is kind of all over the place ^^'
Fixes#111012
- Rewrites anon const nameres to all go through `fn resolve_anon_const` explicitly instead of `visit_anon_const` to ensure that we do not accidentally resolve anon consts as if they are allowed to use generics when they aren't. Also means that we dont have bits of code for resolving anon consts that will get out of sync (i.e. legacy const generics and resolving path consts that were parsed as type arguments)
- Renames two of the `LifetimeRibKind`, `AnonConst -> ConcreteAnonConst` and `ConstGeneric -> ConstParamTy`
- Noticed while doing this that under `generic_const_exprs` all lifetimes currently get resolved to errors without any error being emitted which was causing a bunch of tests to pass without their bugs having been fixed, incidentally fixed that in this PR and marked those tests as `// known-bug:`. I'm fine to break those since `generic_const_exprs` is a very unstable incomplete feature and this PR _does_ make generic_const_exprs "less broken" as a whole, also I can't be assed to figure out what the underlying causes of all of them are. This PR reopens#77357#83993
- Changed `generics_of` to stop providing generics and predicates to enum variant discriminant anon consts since those are not allowed to use generic parameters
- Updated the error for non 'static lifetime in const arguments and the error for non 'static lifetime in const param tys to use `derive(Diagnostic)`
I have a vague idea why const-arg-in-const-arg.rs, in-closure.rs and simple.rs have started failing which is unfortunate since these were deliberately made to work, I think lifetime resolution being broken just means this regressed at some point and nobody noticed because the tests were not testing anything :( I'm fine breaking these too for the same reason as the tests for #77357#83993. I couldn't get `// known-bug` to work for these ICEs and just kept getting different stderr between CI and local `--bless` so I just removed them and will create an issue to track re-adding (and fixing) the bugs if this PR lands.
r? `@cjgillot` cc `@compiler-errors`
Adds the extended error documentation for E0523 to indicate that the

Support using `Self` or projections inside an RPIT/async fn
I reuse the same idea as https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103449 to use variances to encode whether a lifetime parameter is captured by impl-trait.
The current implementation of async and RPIT replace all lifetimes from the parent generics by `'static`. This PR changes the scheme
```rust
impl<'a> Foo<'a> {
fn foo<'b, T>() -> impl Into<Self> + 'b { ... }
}
opaque Foo::<'_a>::foo::<'_b, T>::opaque<'b>: Into<Foo<'_a>> + 'b;
impl<'a> Foo<'a> {
// OLD
fn foo<'b, T>() -> Foo::<'static>::foo::<'static, T>::opaque::<'b> { ... }
^^^^^^^ the `Self` becomes `Foo<'static>`
// NEW
fn foo<'b, T>() -> Foo::<'a>::foo::<'b, T>::opaque::<'b> { ... }
^^ the `Self` stays `Foo<'a>`
}
```
There is the same issue with projections. In the example, substitute `Self` by `<T as Trait<'b>>::Assoc` in the sugared version, and `Foo<'_a>` by `<T as Trait<'_b>>::Assoc` in the desugared one.
This allows to support `Self` in impl-trait, since we do not replace lifetimes by `'static` any more. The same trick allows to use projections like `T::Assoc` where `Self` is allowed. The feature is gated behind a `impl_trait_projections` feature gate.
The implementation relies on 2 tweaking rules for opaques in 2 places:
- we only relate substs that correspond to captured lifetimes during TypeRelation;
- we only list captured lifetimes in choice region computation.
For simplicity, I encoded the "capturedness" of lifetimes as a variance, `Bivariant` vs `Invariant` for unused vs captured lifetimes. The `variances_of` query used to ICE for opaques.
Impl-trait that do not reference `Self` or projections will have their variances as:
- `o` (invariant) for each parent type or const;
- `*` (bivariant) for each parent lifetime --> will not participate in borrowck;
- `o` (invariant) for each own lifetime.
Impl-trait that does reference `Self` and/or projections will have some parent lifetimes marked as `o` (as the example above), and participate in type relation and borrowck. In the example above, `variances_of(opaque) = ['_a: o, '_b: *, T: o, 'b: o]`.
r? types
cc `@compiler-errors` , as you asked about the issue with `Self` and projections.
Add `rustc_deny_explicit_impl`
Also adjust `E0322` error message to be more general, since it's used for `DiscriminantKind` and `Pointee` as well.
Also add `rustc_deny_explicit_impl` on the `Tuple` and `Destruct` marker traits.

Add `#[rustc_safe_intrinsic]`
This PR adds the `#[rustc_safe_intrinsic]` attribute as mentionned on Zulip. The goal of this attribute is to avoid keeping a list of symbols as the source for stable intrinsics, and instead rely on an attribute. This is similar to `#[rustc_const_stable]` and `#[rustc_const_unstable]`, which among other things, are used to mark the constness of intrinsic functions.
- use the simpler minimum working example from the review
- add an alterate "fix" that helps make the cause of the error more
clear
- attempt to add an improved description of what is going on
There was a partial rust code block in the readme that was invalid
because of a missing line. I inlined the code snippet into the text to
fix the error. This also improves readability a bit.

Simplify memory ordering intrinsics
This changes the names of the atomic intrinsics to always fully include their memory ordering arguments.
```diff
- atomic_cxchg
+ atomic_cxchg_seqcst_seqcst
- atomic_cxchg_acqrel
+ atomic_cxchg_acqrel_release
- atomic_cxchg_acqrel_failrelaxed
+ atomic_cxchg_acqrel_relaxed
// And so on.
```
- `seqcst` is no longer implied
- The failure ordering on chxchg is no longer implied in some cases, but now always explicitly part of the name.
- `release` is no longer shortened to just `rel`. That was especially confusing, since `relaxed` also starts with `rel`.
- `acquire` is no longer shortened to just `acq`, such that the names now all match the `std::sync::atomic::Ordering` variants exactly.
- This now allows for more combinations on the compare exchange operations, such as `atomic_cxchg_acquire_release`, which is necessary for #68464.
- This PR only exposes the new possibilities through unstable intrinsics, but not yet through the stable API. That's for [a separate PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98383) that requires an FCP.

Remove migrate borrowck mode
Closes#58781Closes#43234
# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(nll)]` and the removal of `-Z borrowck`. Current borrow checking behavior of item bodies is currently done by first infering regions *lexically* and reporting any errors during HIR type checking. If there *are* any errors, then MIR borrowck (NLL) never occurs. If there *aren't* any errors, then MIR borrowck happens and any errors there would be reported. This PR removes the lexical region check of item bodies entirely and only uses MIR borrowck. Because MIR borrowck could never *not* be run for a compiled program, this should not break any programs. It does, however, change diagnostics significantly and allows a slightly larger set of programs to compile.
Tracking issue: #43234
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2094-nll.md
Version: 1.63 (2022-06-30 => beta, 2022-08-11 => stable).
## Motivation
Over time, the Rust borrow checker has become "smarter" and thus allowed more programs to compile. There have been three different implementations: AST borrowck, MIR borrowck, and polonius (well, in progress). Additionally, there is the "lexical region resolver", which (roughly) solves the constraints generated through HIR typeck. It is not a full borrow checker, but does emit some errors.
The AST borrowck was the original implementation of the borrow checker and was part of the initially stabilized Rust 1.0. In mid 2017, work began to implement the current MIR borrow checker and that effort ompleted by the end of 2017, for the most part. During 2018, efforts were made to migrate away from the AST borrow checker to the MIR borrow checker - eventually culminating into "migrate" mode - where HIR typeck with lexical region resolving following by MIR borrow checking - being active by default in the 2018 edition.
In early 2019, migrate mode was turned on by default in the 2015 edition as well, but with MIR borrowck errors emitted as warnings. By late 2019, these warnings were upgraded to full errors. This was followed by the complete removal of the AST borrow checker.
In the period since, various errors emitted by the MIR borrow checker have been improved to the point that they are mostly the same or better than those emitted by the lexical region resolver.
While there do remain some degradations in errors (tracked under the [NLL-diagnostics tag](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-diagnostics), those are sufficiently small and rare enough that increased flexibility of MIR borrow check-only is now a worthwhile tradeoff.
## What is stabilized
As said previously, this does not fundamentally change the landscape of accepted programs. However, there are a [few](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-fixed-by-NLL) cases where programs can compile under `feature(nll)`, but not otherwise.
There are two notable patterns that are "fixed" by this stabilization. First, the `scoped_threads` feature, which is a continutation of a pre-1.0 API, can sometimes emit a [weird lifetime error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95527) without NLL. Second, actually seen in the standard library. In the `Extend` impl for `HashMap`, there is an implied bound of `K: 'a` that is available with NLL on but not without - this is utilized in the impl.
As mentioned before, there are a large number of diagnostic differences. Most of them are better, but some are worse. None are serious or happen often enough to need to block this PR. The biggest change is the loss of error code for a number of lifetime errors in favor of more general "lifetime may not live long enough" error. While this may *seem* bad, the former error codes were just attempts to somewhat-arbitrarily bin together lifetime errors of the same type; however, on paper, they end up being roughly the same with roughly the same kinds of solutions.
## What isn't stabilized
This PR does not completely remove the lexical region resolver. In the future, it may be possible to remove that (while still keeping HIR typeck) or to remove it together with HIR typeck.
## Tests
Many test outputs get updated by this PR. However, there are number of tests specifically geared towards NLL under `src/test/ui/nll`

Add E0788 for improper #[no_coverage] usage
Essentially, this adds proper checking for the attribute (tracking issue #84605) and throws errors when it's put in obviously-wrong places, like on struct or const definitions. Most of the code is taken directly from the checks for the `#[inline]` attribute, since it's very similar.
Right now, the code only checks at the function level, but it seems reasonable to allow adding `#[no_coverage]` to individual blocks or expressions, so, for now those just throw `unused_attributes` warnings. Similarly, since there was a lot of desire to eventually allow recursive definitions as well on modules and impl blocks, these also throw `unused_attributes` instead of an error.
I'm not sure if anything has to be done since this error is technically for an unstable feature, but since an error for using unstable features will show up anyway, I think it's okay.
This is the first big piece needed for stabilising this attribute, although I personally would like to explore renaming it to `#[coverage(never)]` on a separate PR, which I will offer soon. There's a lot of discussion still to be had about that, which is why it will be kept separate.
I don't think much is needed besides adding this simple check and a UI test, but let me know if there's something else that should be added to make this happen.
