Stabilize `raw_ref_op` (RFC 2582)
This stabilizes the syntax `&raw const $expr` and `&raw mut $expr`. It has existed unstably for ~4 years now, and has been exposed on stable via the `addr_of` and `addr_of_mut` macros since Rust 1.51 (released more than 3 years ago). I think it has become clear that these operations are here to stay. So it is about time we give them proper primitive syntax. This has two advantages over the macro:
- Being macros, `addr_of`/`addr_of_mut` could in theory do arbitrary magic with the expression on which they work. The only "magic" they actually do is using the argument as a place expression rather than as a value expression. Place expressions are already a subtle topic and poorly understood by many programmers; having this hidden behind a macro using unstable language features makes this even worse. Conversely, people do have an idea of what happens below `&`/`&mut`, so we can make the subtle topic a lot more approachable by connecting to existing intuition.
- The name `addr_of` is quite unfortunate from today's perspective, given that we have accepted provenance as a reality, which means that a pointer is *not* just an address. Strict provenance has a method, `addr`, which extracts the address of a pointer; using the term `addr` in two different ways is quite unfortunate. That's why this PR soft-deprecates `addr_of` -- we will wait a long time before actually showing any warning here, but we should start telling people that the "addr" part of this name is somewhat misleading, and `&raw` avoids that potential confusion.
In summary, this syntax improves developers' ability to conceptualize the operational semantics of Rust, while making a fundamental operation frequently used in unsafe code feel properly built in.
Possible questions to consider, based on the RFC and [this](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64490#issuecomment-1163802912) great summary by `@CAD97:`
- Some questions are entirely about the semantics. The semantics are the same as with the macros so I don't think this should have any impact on this syntax PR. Still, for completeness' sake:
- Should `&raw const *mut_ref` give a read-only pointer?
- Tracked at: https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/257
- I think ideally the answer is "no". Stacked Borrows says that pointer is read-only, but Tree Borrows says it is mutable.
- What exactly does `&raw const (*ptr).field` require? Answered in [the reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/reference/behavior-considered-undefined.html): the arithmetic to compute the field offset follows the rules of `ptr::offset`, making it UB if it goes out-of-bounds. Making this a safe operation (using `wrapping_offset` rules) is considered too much of a loss for alias analysis.
- Choose a different syntax? I don't want to re-litigate the RFC. The only credible alternative that has been proposed is `&raw $place` instead of `&raw const $place`, which (IIUC) could be achieved by making `raw` a contextual keyword in a new edition. The type is named `*const T`, so the explicit `const` is consistent in that regard. `&raw expr` lacks the explicit indication of immutability. However, `&raw const expr` is quite a but longer than `addr_of!(expr)`.
- Shouldn't we have a completely new, better raw pointer type instead? Yes we all want to see that happen -- but I don't think we should block stabilization on that, given that such a nicer type is not on the horizon currently and given the issues with `addr_of!` mentioned above. (If we keep the `&raw $place` syntax free for this, we could use it in the future for that new type.)
- What about the lint the RFC talked about? It hasn't been implemented yet. Given that the problematic code is UB with or without this stabilization, I don't think the lack of the lint should block stabilization.
- I created an issue to track adding it: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/127724
- Other points from the "future possibilites of the RFC
- "Syntactic sugar" extension: this has not been implemented. I'd argue this is too confusing, we should stick to what the RFC suggested and if we want to do anything about such expressions, add the lint.
- Encouraging / requiring `&raw` in situations where references are often/definitely incorrect: this has been / is being implemented. On packed fields this already is a hard error, and for `static mut` a lint suggesting raw pointers is being rolled out.
- Lowering of casts: this has been implemented. (It's also an invisible implementation detail.)
- `offsetof` woes: we now have native `offset_of` so this is not relevant any more.
To be done before landing:
- [x] Suppress `unused_parens` lint around `&raw {const|mut}` expressions
- See bottom of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127679#issuecomment-2264073752 for rationale
- Implementation: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128782

Move ZST ABI handling to `rustc_target`
Currently, target specific handling of ZST function call ABI (specifically passing them indirectly instead of ignoring them) is handled in `rustc_ty_utils`, whereas all other target specific function call ABI handling is located in `rustc_target`. This PR moves the ZST handling to `rustc_target` so that all the target-specific function call ABI handling is in one place. In the process of doing so, this PR fixes#125850 by ensuring that ZST arguments are always correctly ignored in the x86-64 `"sysv64"` ABI; any code which would be affected by this fix would have ICEd before this PR. Tests are also added using `#[rustc_abi(debug)]` to ensure this behaviour does not regress.
Fixes#125850
Shrink `TyKind::FnPtr`.
By splitting the `FnSig` within `TyKind::FnPtr` into `FnSigTys` and `FnHeader`, which can be packed more efficiently. This reduces the size of the hot `TyKind` type from 32 bytes to 24 bytes on 64-bit platforms. This reduces peak memory usage by a few percent on some benchmarks. It also reduces cache misses and page faults similarly, though this doesn't translate to clear cycles or wall-time improvements on CI.

Ensure floats are returned losslessly by the Rust ABI on 32-bit x86
Solves #115567 for the (default) `"Rust"` ABI. When compiling for 32-bit x86, this PR changes the `"Rust"` ABI to return floats indirectly instead of in x87 registers (with the exception of single `f32`s, which this PR returns in general purpose registers as they are small enough to fit in one). No change is made to the `"C"` ABI as that ABI requires x87 register usage and therefore will need a different solution.
Remove the unstable `extern "wasm"` ABI (`wasm_abi` feature tracked
in #83788).
As discussed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127513#issuecomment-2220410679
and following, this ABI is a failed experiment that did not end
up being used for anything. Keeping support for this ABI in LLVM 19
would require us to switch wasm targets to the `experimental-mv`
ABI, which we do not want to do.
It should be noted that `Abi::Wasm` was internally used for two
things: The `-Z wasm-c-abi=legacy` ABI that is still used by
default on some wasm targets, and the `extern "wasm"` ABI. Despite
both being `Abi::Wasm` internally, they were not the same. An
explicit `extern "wasm"` additionally enabled the `+multivalue`
feature.
I've opted to remove `Abi::Wasm` in this patch entirely, instead
of keeping it as an ABI with only internal usage. Both
`-Z wasm-c-abi` variants are now treated as part of the normal
C ABI, just with different different treatment in
adjust_for_foreign_abi.
Re-implement a type-size based limit
r? lcnr
This PR reintroduces the type length limit added in #37789, which was accidentally made practically useless by the caching changes to `Ty::walk` in #72412, which caused the `walk` function to no longer walk over identical elements.
Hitting this length limit is not fatal unless we are in codegen -- so it shouldn't affect passes like the mir inliner which creates potentially very large types (which we observed, for example, when the new trait solver compiles `itertools` in `--release` mode).
This also increases the type length limit from `1048576 == 2 ** 20` to `2 ** 24`, which covers all of the code that can be reached with craterbot-check. Individual crates can increase the length limit further if desired.
Perf regression is mild and I think we should accept it -- reinstating this limit is important for the new trait solver and to make sure we don't accidentally hit more type-size related regressions in the future.

Fix `FnMut::call_mut`/`Fn::call` shim for async closures that capture references
I adjusted async closures to be able to implement `Fn` and `FnMut` *even if* they capture references, as long as those references did not need to borrow data from the closure captures themselves. See #125259.
However, when I did this, I didn't actually relax an assertion in the `build_construct_coroutine_by_move_shim` shim code, which builds the `Fn`/`FnMut`/`FnOnce` implementations for async closures. Therefore, if we actually tried to *call* `FnMut`/`Fn` on async closures, it would ICE.
This PR adjusts this assertion to ensure that we only capture immutable references in closures if they implement `Fn`/`FnMut`. It also adds a bunch of tests and makes more of the async-closure tests into `build-pass` since we often care about these tests actually generating the right closure shims and stuff. I think it might be excessive to *always* use build-pass here, but 🤷 it's not that big of a deal.

Only compute vtable information during codegen
This PR removes vtable information from the `Object` and `TraitUpcasting` candidate sources in the trait solvers, and defers the computation of relevant information to `Instance::resolve`. This is because vtables really aren't a thing in the trait world -- they're an implementation detail in codegen.
Previously it was just easiest to tangle this information together since we were already doing the work of looking at all the supertraits in the trait solver, and specifically because we use traits to represent when it's possible to call a method via a vtable (`Object` candidate) and do upcasting (`Unsize` candidate). but I am somewhat suspicious we're doing a *lot* of extra work, especially in polymorphic contexts, so let's see what perf says.
We already do this for a number of crates, e.g. `rustc_middle`,
`rustc_span`, `rustc_metadata`, `rustc_span`, `rustc_errors`.
For the ones we don't, in many cases the attributes are a mess.
- There is no consistency about order of attribute kinds (e.g.
`allow`/`deny`/`feature`).
- Within attribute kind groups (e.g. the `feature` attributes),
sometimes the order is alphabetical, and sometimes there is no
particular order.
- Sometimes the attributes of a particular kind aren't even grouped
all together, e.g. there might be a `feature`, then an `allow`, then
another `feature`.
This commit extends the existing sorting to all compiler crates,
increasing consistency. If any new attribute line is added there is now
only one place it can go -- no need for arbitrary decisions.
Exceptions:
- `rustc_log`, `rustc_next_trait_solver` and `rustc_type_ir_macros`,
because they have no crate attributes.
- `rustc_codegen_gcc`, because it's quasi-external to rustc (e.g. it's
ignored in `rustfmt.toml`).
Implement `needs_async_drop` in rustc and optimize async drop glue
This PR expands on #121801 and implements `Ty::needs_async_drop` which works almost exactly the same as `Ty::needs_drop`, which is needed for #123948.
Also made compiler's async drop code to look more like compiler's regular drop code, which enabled me to write an optimization where types which do not use `AsyncDrop` can simply forward async drop glue to `drop_in_place`. This made size of the async block from the [async_drop test](67980dd6fb/tests/ui/async-await/async-drop.rs) to decrease by 12%.
Make `body_owned_by` return the `Body` instead of just the `BodyId`
fixes#125677
Almost all `body_owned_by` callers immediately called `body`, too, so just return `Body` directly.
This makes the inline-const query feeding more robust, as all calls to `body_owned_by` will now yield a body for inline consts, too.
I have not yet figured out a good way to make `tcx.hir().body()` return an inline-const body, but that can be done as a follow-up
