Move failing test to ui
Changes this test from incremental to ui, and mark it as failing and a known bug.
Does not cause the compiler to ICE, so should be ok.
Use `as_deref` in compiler (but only where it makes sense)
This simplifies some code :3
(there are some changes that are not exacly `as_deref`, but more like "clever `Option`/`Result` method use")
`MacArgs` is an enum with three variants: `Empty`, `Delimited`, and `Eq`. It's
used in two ways:
- For representing attribute macro arguments (e.g. in `AttrItem`), where all
three variants are used.
- For representing function-like macros (e.g. in `MacCall` and `MacroDef`),
where only the `Delimited` variant is used.
In other words, `MacArgs` is used in two quite different places due to them
having partial overlap. I find this makes the code hard to read. It also leads
to various unreachable code paths, and allows invalid values (such as
accidentally using `MacArgs::Empty` in a `MacCall`).
This commit splits `MacArgs` in two:
- `DelimArgs` is a new struct just for the "delimited arguments" case. It is
now used in `MacCall` and `MacroDef`.
- `AttrArgs` is a renaming of the old `MacArgs` enum for the attribute macro
case. Its `Delimited` variant now contains a `DelimArgs`.
Various other related things are renamed as well.
These changes make the code clearer, avoids several unreachable paths, and
disallows the invalid values.
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]`.

Record `LocalDefId` in HIR nodes instead of a side table
This is part of an attempt to remove the `HirId -> LocalDefId` table from HIR.
This attempt is a prerequisite to creation of `LocalDefId` after HIR lowering (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96840), by controlling how `def_id` information is accessed.
This first part adds the information to HIR nodes themselves instead of a table.
The second part is https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103902
The third part will be to make `hir::Visitor::visit_fn` take a `LocalDefId` as last parameter.
The fourth part will be to completely remove the side table.
Track where diagnostics were created.
This implements the `-Ztrack-diagnostics` flag, which uses `#[track_caller]` to track where diagnostics are created. It is meant as a debugging tool much like `-Ztreat-err-as-bug`.
For example, the following code...
```rust
struct A;
struct B;
fn main(){
let _: A = B;
}
```
...now emits the following error message:
```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src\main.rs:5:16
|
5 | let _: A = B;
| - ^ expected struct `A`, found struct `B`
| |
| expected due to this
-Ztrack-diagnostics: created at compiler\rustc_infer\src\infer\error_reporting\mod.rs:2275:31
```
rustc_metadata: Encode even less doc comments
The fact that `def_id` is in the `tcx.privacy_access_levels(())` table is not very meaningful, especially after https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102026, `is_exported` (or `is_reachable` in the worst case) is what you need.
Follow up to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98450.
r? `@GuillaumeGomez` `@lqd`
The new implementation doesn't use weak lang items and instead changes
`#[alloc_error_handler]` to an attribute macro just like
`#[global_allocator]`.
The attribute will generate the `__rg_oom` function which is called by
the compiler-generated `__rust_alloc_error_handler`. If no `__rg_oom`
function is defined in any crate then the compiler shim will call
`__rdl_oom` in the alloc crate which will simply panic.
This also fixes link errors with `-C link-dead-code` with
`default_alloc_error_handler`: `__rg_oom` was previously defined in the
alloc crate and would attempt to reference the `oom` lang item, even if
it didn't exist. This worked as long as `__rg_oom` was excluded from
linking since it was not called.
This is a prerequisite for the stabilization of
`default_alloc_error_handler` (#102318).
spastorino noticed some silly expressions like `item_id.def_id.def_id`.
This commit renames several `def_id: OwnerId` fields as `owner_id`, so
those expressions become `item_id.owner_id.def_id`.
`item_id.owner_id.local_def_id` would be even clearer, but the use of
`def_id` for values of type `LocalDefId` is *very* widespread, so I left
that alone.
privacy: Rename "accessibility levels" to "effective visibilities"
And a couple of other naming and comment tweaks.
Related to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48054
For `enum Level` I initially used naming `enum EffectiveVisibilityLevel`, but it was too long and inconvenient because it's used pretty often.
So I shortened it to just `Level`, if it needs to be used from some context where this name would be ambiguous, then it can be imported with renaming like `use rustc_middle::privacy::Level as EffVisLevel` or something.
rustc_metadata: Add struct and variant constructors to module children at encoding time
instead of decoding time.
Continuation of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95899.
The last time it caused some ICEs from generator use, but not everything seems ok.

Get rid of native_library projection queries
They don't seem particularly useful as I don't expect native libraries to change frequently.
Maybe they do provide significant value of keeping incremental compilation green though, I'm not sure.
Introduce deduced parameter attributes, and use them for deducing `readonly` on indirect immutable freeze by-value function parameters.
Introduce deduced parameter attributes, and use them for deducing `readonly` on
indirect immutable freeze by-value function parameters.
Right now, `rustc` only examines function signatures and the platform ABI when
determining the LLVM attributes to apply to parameters. This results in missed
optimizations, because there are some attributes that can be determined via
analysis of the MIR making up the function body. In particular, `readonly`
could be applied to most indirectly-passed by-value function arguments
(specifically, those that are freeze and are observed not to be mutated), but
it currently is not.
This patch introduces the machinery that allows `rustc` to determine those
attributes. It consists of a query, `deduced_param_attrs`, that, when
evaluated, analyzes the MIR of the function to determine supplementary
attributes. The results of this query for each function are written into the
crate metadata so that the deduced parameter attributes can be applied to
cross-crate functions. In this patch, we simply check the parameter for
mutations to determine whether the `readonly` attribute should be applied to
parameters that are indirect immutable freeze by-value. More attributes could
conceivably be deduced in the future: `nocapture` and `noalias` come to mind.
Adding `readonly` to indirect function parameters where applicable enables some
potential optimizations in LLVM that are discussed in [issue 103103] and [PR
103070] around avoiding stack-to-stack memory copies that appear in functions
like `core::fmt::Write::write_fmt` and `core::panicking::assert_failed`. These
functions pass a large structure unchanged by value to a subfunction that also
doesn't mutate it. Since the structure in this case is passed as an indirect
parameter, it's a pointer from LLVM's perspective. As a result, the
intermediate copy of the structure that our codegen emits could be optimized
away by LLVM's MemCpyOptimizer if it knew that the pointer is `readonly
nocapture noalias` in both the caller and callee. We already pass `nocapture
noalias`, but we're missing `readonly`, as we can't determine whether a
by-value parameter is mutated by examining the signature in Rust. I didn't have
much success with having LLVM infer the `readonly` attribute, even with fat
LTO; it seems that deducing it at the MIR level is necessary.
No large benefits should be expected from this optimization *now*; LLVM needs
some changes (discussed in [PR 103070]) to more aggressively use the `noalias
nocapture readonly` combination in its alias analysis. I have some LLVM patches
for these optimizations and have had them looked over. With all the patches
applied locally, I enabled LLVM to remove all the `memcpy`s from the following
code:
```rust
fn main() {
println!("Hello {}", 3);
}
```
which is a significant codegen improvement over the status quo. I expect that if this optimization kicks in in multiple places even for such a simple program, then it will apply to Rust code all over the place.

In this situation, we now detect that case and suggest the user only

Move and rename `SessionDiagnostic` & `SessionSubdiagnostic` traits and macros
After PR #101434, we want to:
- [x] Move `SessionDiagnostic` to `rustc_errors`.
- [x] Add `emit_` methods that accept `impl SessionDiagnostic` to `Handler`.
- [x] _(optional)_ Rename trait `SessionDiagnostic` to `DiagnosticHandler`.
- [x] _(optional)_ Rename macro `SessionDiagnostic` to `DiagnosticHandler`.
- [x] Update Rustc Dev Guide and Docs to reflect these changes. https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/pull/1460
Now I am having build issues getting the compiler to build when trying to rename the macro.

## Question
**Do we need to build or do something different when renaming a macro and identifiers?**
For context, see experimental commit f2193a98b4 where the macro and symbols are renamed, but it doesn't compile.
FIX - ambiguous Diagnostic link in docs
UPDATE - rename diagnostic_items to IntoDiagnostic and AddToDiagnostic
[Gardening] FIX - formatting via `x fmt`
FIX - rebase conflicts. NOTE: Confirm wheather or not we want to handle TargetDataLayoutErrorsWrapper this way
DELETE - unneeded allow attributes in Handler method
FIX - broken test
FIX - Rebase conflict
UPDATE - rename residual _SessionDiagnostic and fix LintDiag link
It's now much more like the `-Zhir-stats` output.
- Each line is preceded with `meta-stats`, which makes the provenance
clearer and allows filtering of the output.
- Sections are now sorted in reverse order of size.
- Column headings avoid the need to repeat the word "bytes" on every line.
- Long numbers now have `_` separators for easier reading.
- Consistent use of '-' within section labels, rather than a mix of '-',
'_', and ' '.
The code itself is shorter and easier to read thanks to:
- the `stat` macro, which encapsulates each section's encoding, avoids
some boilerplate, and removes the need for some low-value comments;
- the `stats` vector, which replaces dozens of local variables.
Fix `#[link kind="raw-dylib"]` to respect `#[link_name]`
Issue Details:
When using `#[link kind="raw-dylib"]` (#58713), the Rust compiler ignored any `#[link_name]` attributes when generating the import library and so the resulting binary would fail to link due to missing symbols.
Fix Details:
Use the name from `#[link_name]` if present when generating the `raw-dylib` import library, otherwise default back to the actual symbol name.
On later stages, the feature is already stable.

# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(generic_associated_types)]`. While there a number of future additions to be made and bugs to be fixed (both discussed below), properly doing these will require significant language design and will ultimately likely be backwards-compatible. Given the overwhelming desire to have some form of generic associated types (GATs) available on stable and the stability of the "simple" uses, stabilizing the current subset of GAT features is almost certainly the correct next step.
Tracking issue: #44265
Initiative: https://rust-lang.github.io/generic-associated-types-initiative/
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1598-generic_associated_types.md
Version: 1.65 (2022-08-22 => beta, 2022-11-03 => stable).
## Motivation
There are a myriad of potential use cases for GATs. Stabilization unblocks probable future language features (e.g. async functions in traits), potential future standard library features (e.g. a `LendingIterator` or some form of `Iterator` with a lifetime generic), and a plethora of user use cases (some of which can be seen just by scrolling through the tracking issue and looking at all the issues linking to it).
There are a myriad of potential use cases for GATs. First, there are many users that have chosen to not use GATs primarily because they are not stable (some of which can be seen just by scrolling through the tracking issue and looking at all the issues linking to it). Second, while language feature desugaring isn't *blocked* on stabilization, it gives more confidence on using the feature. Likewise, library features like `LendingIterator` are not necessarily blocked on stabilization to be implemented unstably; however few, if any, public-facing APIs actually use unstable features.
This feature has a long history of design, discussion, and developement - the RFC was first introduced roughly 6 years ago. While there are still a number of features left to implement and bugs left to fix, it's clear that it's unlikely those will have backwards-incompatibility concerns. Additionally, the bugs that do exist do not strongly impede the most-common use cases.
## What is stabilized
The primary language feature stabilized here is the ability to have generics on associated types, as so. Additionally, where clauses on associated types will now be accepted, regardless if the associated type is generic or not.
```rust
trait ATraitWithGATs {
type Assoc<'a, T> where T: 'a;
}
trait ATraitWithoutGATs<'a, T> {
type Assoc where T: 'a;
}
```
When adding an impl for a trait with generic associated types, the generics for the associated type are copied as well. Note that where clauses are allowed both after the specified type and before the equals sign; however, the latter is a warn-by-default deprecation.
```rust
struct X;
struct Y;
impl ATraitWithGATs for X {
type Assoc<'a, T> = &'a T
where T: 'a;
}
impl ATraitWithGATs for Y {
type Assoc<'a, T>
where T: 'a
= &'a T;
}
```
To use a GAT in a function, generics are specified on the associated type, as if it was a struct or enum. GATs can also be specified in trait bounds:
```rust
fn accepts_gat<'a, T>(t: &'a T) -> T::Assoc<'a, T>
where for<'x> T: ATraitWithGATs<Assoc<'a, T> = &'a T> {
...
}
```
GATs can also appear in trait methods. However, depending on how they are used, they may confer where clauses on the associated type definition. More information can be found [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87479). Briefly, where clauses are required when those bounds can be proven in the methods that *construct* the GAT or other associated types that use the GAT in the trait. This allows impls to have maximum flexibility in the types defined for the associated type.
To take a relatively simple example:
```rust
trait Iterable {
type Item<'a>;
type Iterator<'a>: Iterator<Item = Self::Item<'a>>;
fn iter<'x>(&'x self) -> Self::Iterator<'x>;
//^ We know that `Self: 'a` for `Iterator<'a>`, so we require that bound on `Iterator`
// `Iterator` uses `Self::Item`, so we also require a `Self: 'a` on `Item` too
}
```
A couple well-explained examples are available in a previous [blog post](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/08/03/GATs-stabilization-push.html).
## What isn't stabilized/implemented
### Universal type/const quantification
Currently, you can write a bound like `X: for<'a> Trait<Assoc<'a> = &'a ()>`. However, you cannot currently write `for<T> X: Trait<Assoc<T> = T>` or `for<const N> X: Trait<Assoc<N> = [usize; N]>`.
Here is an example where this is needed:
```rust
trait Foo {}
trait Trait {
type Assoc<F: Foo>;
}
trait Trait2: Sized {
fn foo<F: Foo, T: Trait<Assoc<F> = F>>(_t: T);
}
```
In the above example, the *caller* must specify `F`, which is likely not what is desired.
### Object-safe GATs
Unlike non-generic associated types, traits with GATs are not currently object-safe. In other words the following are not allowed:
```rust
trait Trait {
type Assoc<'a>;
}
fn foo(t: &dyn for<'a> Trait<Assoc<'a> = &'a ()>) {}
//^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not allowed
let ty: Box<dyn for<'a> Trait<Assoc<'a> = &'a ()>>;
//^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not allowed
```
### Higher-kinded types
You cannot write currently (and there are no current plans to implement this):
```rust
struct Struct<'a> {}
fn foo(s: for<'a> Struct<'a>) {}
```
## Tests

## Remaining bugs and open issues
A full list of remaining open issues can be found at: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels/F-generic_associated_types
There are some `known-bug` tests in-tree at `src/test/ui/generic-associated-types/bugs`.
Here I'll categorize most of those that GAT bugs (or involve a pattern found more with GATs), but not those that include GATs but not a GAT issue in and of itself. (I also won't include issues directly for things listed elsewhere here.)
Using the concrete type of a GAT instead of the projection type can give errors, since lifetimes are chosen to be early-bound vs late-bound.
- #85533
- #87803
In certain cases, we can run into cycle or overflow errors. This is more generally a problem with associated types.
- #87755
- #87758
Bounds on an associatd type need to be proven by an impl, but where clauses need to be proven by the usage. This can lead to confusion when users write one when they mean the other.
- #87831
- #90573
We sometimes can't normalize closure signatures fully. Really an asociated types issue, but might happen a bit more frequently with GATs, since more obvious place for HRTB lifetimes.
- #88382
When calling a function, we assign types to parameters "too late", after we already try (and fail) to normalize projections. Another associated types issue that might pop up more with GATs.
- #88460
- #96230
We don't fully have implied bounds for lifetimes appearing in GAT trait paths, which can lead to unconstrained type errors.
- #88526
Suggestion for adding lifetime bounds can suggest unhelpful fixes (`T: 'a` instead of `Self: 'a`), but the next compiler error after making the suggested change is helpful.
- #90816
- #92096
- #95268
We can end up requiring that `for<'a> I: 'a` when we really want `for<'a where I: 'a> I: 'a`. This can leave unhelpful errors than effectively can't be satisfied unless `I: 'static`. Requires bigger changes and not only GATs.
- #91693
Unlike with non-generic associated types, we don't eagerly normalize with param env candidates. This is intended behavior (for now), to avoid accidentaly stabilizing picking arbitrary impls.
- #91762
Some Iterator adapter patterns (namely `filter`) require Polonius or unsafe to work.
- #92985
## Potential Future work
### Universal type/const quantification
No work has been done to implement this. There are also some questions around implied bounds.
### Object-safe GATs
The intention is to make traits with GATs object-safe. There are some design work to be done around well-formedness rules and general implementation.
### GATified std lib types
It would be helpful to either introduce new std lib traits (like `LendingIterator`) or to modify existing ones (adding a `'a` generic to `Iterator::Item`). There also a number of other candidates, like `Index`/`IndexMut` and `Fn`/`FnMut`/`FnOnce`.
### Reduce the need for `for<'a>`
Seen [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1598#issuecomment-2611378730). One possible syntax:
```rust
trait Iterable {
type Iter<'a>: Iterator<Item = Self::Item<'a>>;
}
fn foo<T>() where T: Iterable, T::Item<let 'a>: Display { } //note the `let`!
```
### Better implied bounds on higher-ranked things
Currently if we have a `type Item<'a> where self: 'a`, and a `for<'a> T: Iterator<Item<'a> = &'a ()`, this requires `for<'a> Self: 'a`. Really, we want `for<'a where T: 'a> ...`
There was some mentions of this all the back in the RFC thread [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1598#issuecomment-264340514).
## Alternatives
### Make generics on associated type in bounds a binder
Imagine the bound `for<'a> T: Trait<Item<'a>= &'a ()>`. It might be that `for<'a>` is "too large" and it should instead be `T: Trait<for<'a> Item<'a>= &'a ()>`. Brought up in RFC thread [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1598#issuecomment-229443863) and in a few places since.
Another related question: Is `for<'a>` the right syntax? Maybe `where<'a>`? Also originally found in RFC thread [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1598#issuecomment-261639969).
### Stabilize lifetime GATs first
This has been brought up a few times. The idea is to only allow GATs with lifetime parameters to in initial stabilization. This was probably most useful prior to actual implementation. At this point, lifetimes, types, and consts are all implemented and work. It feels like an arbitrary split without strong reason.

Add diagnostic arg 'current_crate'
With this fix, I get almost the same error message as on stable, again.
However, I expected to get the new error message `std is required by {$current_crate} because it does not declare #![no_std]`, but I didn't. Instead, I got a new line `help: consider building the standard library from source with cargo build -Zbuild-std`. So I obviously do not fully understand what is going on.
In any case, the bug itself seems to be fixed by this patch.
Closes#101640
Stabilize raw-dylib for non-x86
This stabilizes the `raw-dylib` and `link_ordinal` features (#58713) for non-x86 architectures (i.e., `x86_64`, `aarch64` and `thumbv7a`):
* Marked the `raw_dylib` feature as `active`.
* Marked the `link_ordinal` attribute as `ungated`.
* Added new errors if either feature is used on x86 targets without the `raw_dylib` feature being enabled.
* Updated tests to only set the `raw_dylib` feature when building for x86.
Update `SessionDiagnostic::into_diagnostic` to take `Handler` instead of `ParseSess`
Suggested by the team in [this Zulip Topic](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/336883-i18n/topic/.23100717.20SessionDiagnostic.20on.20Handler).
`Handler` already has almost all the capabilities of `ParseSess` when it comes to diagnostic emission, in this migration we only needed to add the ability to access `source_map` from the emitter in order to get a `Snippet` and the `start_point`. Not sure if adding these two methods [`span_to_snippet_from_emitter` and `span_start_point_from_emitter`] is the best way to address this gap.
P.S. If this goes in the right direction, then we probably may want to move `SessionDiagnostic` to `rustc_errors` and rename it to `DiagnosticHandler` or something similar.

Remove EntryKind from metadata.
This PR continues the refactor of metadata emission to be more systematic, iterating on definitions and filtering based on each definition's `DefKind`. This allows to remove the large `EntryKind` enum, replaced by linear tables in metadata.
- ... when creating diagnostics in rustc_metadata
- use the error_code! macro
- pass macro output to diag.code()
- use fluent from within manual implementation of SessionDiagnostic
- emit the untested errors in case they occur in the wild
- stop panicking in the probably-not-dead code, add fixme to write test
