make vtable pointers entirely opaque
This implements the scheme discussed in https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/338: vtable pointers should be considered entirely opaque and not even readable by Rust code, similar to function pointers.
- We have a new kind of `GlobalAlloc` that symbolically refers to a vtable.
- Miri uses that kind of allocation when generating a vtable.
- The codegen backends, upon encountering such an allocation, call `vtable_allocation` to obtain an actually dataful allocation for this vtable.
- We need new intrinsics to obtain the size and align from a vtable (for some `ptr::metadata` APIs), since direct accesses are UB now.
I had to touch quite a bit of code that I am not very familiar with, so some of this might not make much sense...

If part of a feature is stabilized and a new feature is added for the
remaining parts, then the `implied_by` attribute can be used to indicate
which now-stable feature previously contained a item. If the now-stable
feature is still active (if the user has only just updated rustc, for
example) then there will not be an stability error for uses of the item
from the implied feature.

Improve the function pointer docs
This is #97842 but for function pointers instead of tuples. The concept is basically the same.
* Reduce duplicate impls; show `fn (T₁, T₂, …, Tₙ)` and include a sentence saying that there exists up to twelve of them.
* Show `Copy` and `Clone`.
* Show auto traits like `Send` and `Sync`, and blanket impls like `Any`.

Always create elided lifetime parameters for functions
Anonymous and elided lifetimes in functions are sometimes (async fns) --and sometimes not (regular fns)-- desugared to implicit generic parameters.
This difference of treatment makes it some downstream analyses more complicated to handle. This step is a pre-requisite to perform lifetime elision resolution on AST.
There is currently an inconsistency in the treatment of argument-position impl-trait for functions and async fns:
```rust
trait Foo<'a> {}
fn foo(t: impl Foo<'_>) {} //~ ERROR missing lifetime specifier
async fn async_foo(t: impl Foo<'_>) {} //~ OK
fn bar(t: impl Iterator<Item = &'_ u8>) {} //~ ERROR missing lifetime specifier
async fn async_bar(t: impl Iterator<Item = &'_ u8>) {} //~ OK
```
The current implementation reports "missing lifetime specifier" on `foo`, but **accepts it** in `async_foo`.
This PR **proposes to accept** the anonymous lifetime in both cases as an extra generic lifetime parameter.
This change would be insta-stable, so let's ping t-lang.
Anonymous lifetimes in GAT bindings keep being forbidden:
```rust
fn foo(t: impl Foo<Assoc<'_> = Bar<'_>>) {}
^^ ^^
forbidden ok
```

Implement `SourceMap::is_span_accessible`

Miscellaneous inlining improvements
Add `#[inline]` to a few trivial non-generic methods from a perf report

Use less string interning
This removes string interning in a couple of places where doing so won't result in perf improvements. I also switched one place to use pre-interned symbols.
This commit adds new methods that combine sequences of existing
formatting methods.
- `Formatter::debug_{tuple,struct}_field[12345]_finish`, equivalent to a
`Formatter::debug_{tuple,struct}` + N x `Debug{Tuple,Struct}::field` +
`Debug{Tuple,Struct}::finish` call sequence.
- `Formatter::debug_{tuple,struct}_fields_finish` is similar, but can
handle any number of fields by using arrays.
These new methods are all marked as `doc(hidden)` and unstable. They are
intended for the compiler's own use.
Special-casing up to 5 fields gives significantly better performance
results than always using arrays (as was tried in #95637).
The commit also changes the `Debug` deriving code to use these new methods. For
example, where the old `Debug` code for a struct with two fields would be like
this:
```
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut ::core::fmt::Formatter) -> ::core::fmt::Result {
match *self {
Self {
f1: ref __self_0_0,
f2: ref __self_0_1,
} => {
let debug_trait_builder = &mut ::core::fmt::Formatter::debug_struct(f, "S2");
let _ = ::core::fmt::DebugStruct::field(debug_trait_builder, "f1", &&(*__self_0_0));
let _ = ::core::fmt::DebugStruct::field(debug_trait_builder, "f2", &&(*__self_0_1));
::core::fmt::DebugStruct::finish(debug_trait_builder)
}
}
}
```
the new code is like this:
```
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut ::core::fmt::Formatter) -> ::core::fmt::Result {
match *self {
Self {
f1: ref __self_0_0,
f2: ref __self_0_1,
} => ::core::fmt::Formatter::debug_struct_field2_finish(
f,
"S2",
"f1",
&&(*__self_0_0),
"f2",
&&(*__self_0_1),
),
}
}
```
This shrinks the code produced for `Debug` instances
considerably, reducing compile times and binary sizes.

This commit adds a new unstable attribute, `#[doc(tuple_varadic)]`, that
shows a 1-tuple as `(T, ...)` instead of just `(T,)`, and links to a section
in the tuple primitive docs that talks about these.
This avoids the name clash with `rustc_serialize::Encoder` (a trait),
and allows lots qualifiers to be removed and imports to be simplified
(e.g. fewer `as` imports).
There are two impls of the `Encoder` trait: `opaque::Encoder` and
`opaque::FileEncoder`. The former encodes into memory and is infallible, the
latter writes to file and is fallible.
Currently, standard `Result`/`?`/`unwrap` error handling is used, but this is a
bit verbose and has non-trivial cost, which is annoying given how rare failures
are (especially in the infallible `opaque::Encoder` case).
This commit changes how `Encoder` fallibility is handled. All the `emit_*`
methods are now infallible. `opaque::Encoder` requires no great changes for
this. `opaque::FileEncoder` now implements a delayed error handling strategy.
If a failure occurs, it records this via the `res` field, and all subsequent
encoding operations are skipped if `res` indicates an error has occurred. Once
encoding is complete, the new `finish` method is called, which returns a
`Result`. In other words, there is now a single `Result`-producing method
instead of many of them.
This has very little effect on how any file errors are reported if
`opaque::FileEncoder` has any failures.
Much of this commit is boring mechanical changes, removing `Result` return
values and `?` or `unwrap` from expressions. The more interesting parts are as
follows.
- serialize.rs: The `Encoder` trait gains an `Ok` associated type. The
`into_inner` method is changed into `finish`, which returns
`Result<Vec<u8>, !>`.
- opaque.rs: The `FileEncoder` adopts the delayed error handling
strategy. Its `Ok` type is a `usize`, returning the number of bytes
written, replacing previous uses of `FileEncoder::position`.
- Various methods that take an encoder now consume it, rather than being
passed a mutable reference, e.g. `serialize_query_result_cache`.
Add support for emitting functions with `coldcc` to LLVM
The eventual goal is to try using this for things like the internal panicking stuff, to see whether it helps.
Using diagnostic items avoids having to update the paths if the guard
types ever get moved around for some reason. Additionally, it also greatly
simplifies the `is_sync_lock` check.
Lazify `SourceFile::lines`.
`SourceFile::lines` is a big part of metadata. It's stored in a compressed form
(a difference list) to save disk space. Decoding it is a big fraction of
compile time for very small crates/programs.
This commit introduces a new type `SourceFileLines` which has a `Lines`
form and a `Diffs` form. The latter is used when the metadata is first
read, and it is only decoded into the `Lines` form when line data is
actually needed. This avoids the decoding cost for many files,
especially in `std`. It's a performance win of up to 15% for tiny
crates/programs where metadata decoding is a high part of compilation
costs.
A `RefCell` is needed because the methods that access lines data (which can
trigger decoding) take `&self` rather than `&mut self`. To allow for this,
`SourceFile::lines` now takes a `FnMut` that operates on the lines slice rather
than returning the lines slice.

This commit adds an alternative content boxing syntax,
and uses it inside alloc.
The usage inside the very performance relevant code in
liballoc is the only remaining relevant usage of box syntax
in the compiler (outside of tests, which are comparatively
easy to port).
box syntax was originally designed to be used by all Rust
developers. This introduces a replacement syntax more tailored
to only being used inside the Rust compiler, and with it,
lays the groundwork for eventually removing box syntax.

Add support for embedding pretty printers via `#[debugger_visualizer]` attribute
Initial support for [RFC 3191](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3191) in PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/91779 was scoped to supporting embedding NatVis files using a new attribute. This PR implements the pretty printer support as stated in the RFC mentioned above.
This change includes embedding pretty printers in the `.debug_gdb_scripts` just as the pretty printers for rustc are embedded today. Also added additional tests for embedded pretty printers.

Like we have `add`/`sub` which are the `usize` version of `offset`, this adds the `usize` equivalent of `offset_from`. Like how `.add(d)` replaced a whole bunch of `.offset(d as isize)`, you can see from the changes here that it's fairly common that code actually knows the order between the pointers and *wants* a `usize`, not an `isize`.
As a bonus, this can do `sub nuw`+`udiv exact`, rather than `sub`+`sdiv exact`, which can be optimized slightly better because it doesn't have to worry about negatives. That's why the slice iterators weren't using `offset_from`, though I haven't updated that code in this PR because slices are so perf-critical that I'll do it as its own change.
This is an intrinsic, like `offset_from`, so that it can eventually be allowed in CTFE. It also allows checking the extra safety condition -- see the test confirming that CTFE catches it if you pass the pointers in the wrong order.
Begin fixing all the broken doctests in `compiler/`
Begins to fix#95994.
All of them pass now but 24 of them I've marked with `ignore HELP (<explanation>)` (asking for help) as I'm unsure how to get them to work / if we should leave them as they are.
There are also a few that I marked `ignore` that could maybe be made to work but seem less important.
Each `ignore` has a rough "reason" for ignoring after it parentheses, with
- `(pseudo-rust)` meaning "mostly rust-like but contains foreign syntax"
- `(illustrative)` a somewhat catchall for either a fragment of rust that doesn't stand on its own (like a lone type), or abbreviated rust with ellipses and undeclared types that would get too cluttered if made compile-worthy.
- `(not-rust)` stuff that isn't rust but benefits from the syntax highlighting, like MIR.
- `(internal)` uses `rustc_*` code which would be difficult to make work with the testing setup.
Those reason notes are a bit inconsistently applied and messy though. If that's important I can go through them again and try a more principled approach. When I run `rg '```ignore \(' .` on the repo, there look to be lots of different conventions other people have used for this sort of thing. I could try unifying them all if that would be helpful.
I'm not sure if there was a better existing way to do this but I wrote my own script to help me run all the doctests and wade through the output. If that would be useful to anyone else, I put it here: https://github.com/Elliot-Roberts/rust_doctest_fixing_tool

Using an obviously-placeholder syntax. An RFC would still be needed before this could have any chance at stabilization, and it might be removed at any point.
But I'd really like to have it in nightly at least to ensure it works well with try_trait_v2, especially as we refactor the traits.
The self-profiler's `EventArgRecorder` is general-purpose in its ability to record Strings (and `rustc_span` depends on the crate its defined in, `rustc_data_structure`).
Some generic activities could use recording locations where they happen in the user's code: to allow e.g. to track macro expansions and diagnose performance issues there.
This adds a `SpannedEventArgRecorder` that can record an argument given as a span, rather than a String, since turning spans into Strings can be tricky if you're not happy with its default Debug output. This way the recorder can have a `record_arg_spanned` method which will do that.

Add well known values to `--check-cfg` implementation
This pull-request adds well known values for the well known names via `--check-cfg=values()`.
[RFC 3013: Checking conditional compilation at compile time](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3013-conditional-compilation-checking.html#checking-conditional-compilation-at-compile-time) doesn't define this at all, but this seems a nice improvement.
The activation is done by a empty `values()` (new syntax) similar to `names()` except that `names(foo)` also activate well known names while `values(aa, "aa", "kk")` would not.
As stated this use a different activation logic because well known values for the well known names are not always sufficient.
In fact this is problematic for every `target_*` cfg because of non builtin targets, as the current implementation use those built-ins targets to create the list the well known values.
The implementation is straight forward, first we gather (if necessary) all the values (lazily or not) and then we apply them.
