Instead of writing coverage mappings into a supplied `&RustString`, this
function can just create the buffer itself and return the resulting vector of
bytes.
If two or more mappings cover exactly the same region, their relative order
will now be preserved from `get_expressions_and_counter_regions`, rather than
being disturbed by implementation details of an unstable sort.
The current order is: counter mappings, expression mappings, zero mappings.
(LLVM will also perform its own stable sort on these mappings, but that sort
only compares file ID, start location, and `RegionKind`.)
This struct was only being used to hold the global file table, and one of its
methods didn't even use the table. Changing its methods to ordinary functions
makes it easier to see where the table is mutated.
Coverage FFI types were historically split across two modules, because some of
them were needed by code in `rustc_codegen_ssa`.
Now that all of the coverage codegen code has been moved into
`rustc_codegen_llvm` (#113355), it's possible to move all of the FFI types into
a single module, making it easier to see all of them at once.
This section name is always constant for a given target, but obtaining it from
LLVM requires a few intermediate allocations. There's no need to do so
repeatedly from inside a per-function loop.
Coverage has two FFI functions for computing the hash of a byte string. One
takes a ptr/len pair, and the other takes a NUL-terminated C string.
But on closer inspection, the C string version is unnecessary. The calling-side
code converts a Rust `&str` into a C string, and the C++ code then immediately
turns it back into a ptr/len string before actually hashing it.
The function body immediately treats it as a slice anyway, so this just makes
it possible to call the hash function with arbitrary read-only byte slices.
Stabilize `-Z instrument-coverage` as `-C instrument-coverage`
(Tracking issue for `instrument-coverage`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79121)
This PR stabilizes support for instrumentation-based code coverage, previously provided via the `-Z instrument-coverage` option. (Continue supporting `-Z instrument-coverage` for compatibility for now, but show a deprecation warning for it.)
Many, many people have tested this support, and there are numerous reports of it working as expected.
Move the documentation from the unstable book to stable rustc documentation. Update uses and documentation to use the `-C` option.
Addressing questions raised in the tracking issue:
> If/when stabilized, will the compiler flag be updated to -C instrument-coverage? (If so, the -Z variant could also be supported for some time, to ease migrations for existing users and scripts.)
This stabilization PR updates the option to `-C` and keeps the `-Z` variant to ease migration.
> The Rust coverage implementation depends on (and automatically turns on) -Z symbol-mangling-version=v0. Will stabilizing this feature depend on stabilizing v0 symbol-mangling first? If so, what is the current status and timeline?
This stabilization PR depends on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90128 , which stabilizes `-C symbol-mangling-version=v0` (but does not change the default symbol-mangling-version).
> The Rust coverage implementation implements the latest version of LLVM's Coverage Mapping Format (version 4), which forces a dependency on LLVM 11 or later. A compiler error is generated if attempting to compile with coverage, and using an older version of LLVM.
Given that LLVM 13 has now been released, requiring LLVM 11 for coverage support seems like a reasonable requirement. If people don't have at least LLVM 11, nothing else breaks; they just can't use coverage support. Given that coverage support currently requires a nightly compiler and LLVM 11 or newer, allowing it on a stable compiler built with LLVM 11 or newer seems like an improvement.
The [tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79121) and the [issue label A-code-coverage](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels/A-code-coverage) link to a few open issues related to `instrument-coverage`, but none of them seem like showstoppers. All of them seem like improvements and refinements we can make after stabilization.
The original `-Z instrument-coverage` support went through a compiler-team MCP at https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/278 . Based on that, `@pnkfelix` suggested that this needed a stabilization PR and a compiler-team FCP.
If we do not add code coverage instrumentation to the `Body` of a
function, then when we go to generate the function record for it, we
won't write any data and this later causes llvm-cov to fail when
processing data for the entire coverage report.
I've identified two main cases where we do not currently add code
coverage instrumentation to the `Body` of a function:
1. If the function has a single `BasicBlock` and it ends with a
`TerminatorKind::Unreachable`.
2. If the function is created using a proc macro of some kind.
For case 1, this typically not important as this most often occurs as
the result of function definitions that take or return uninhabited
types. These kinds of functions, by definition, cannot even be called so
they logically should not be counted in code coverage statistics.
For case 2, I haven't looked into this very much but I've noticed while
testing this patch that (other than functions which are covered by case
1) the skipped function coverage debug message is occasionally triggered
in large crate graphs by functions generated from a proc macro. This may
have something to do with weird spans being generated by the proc macro
but this is just a guess.
I think it's reasonable to land this change since currently, we fail to
generate *any* results from llvm-cov when a function has no coverage
instrumentation applied to it. With this change, we get coverage data
for all functions other than the two cases discussed above.
Continue supporting -Z instrument-coverage for compatibility for now,
but show a deprecation warning for it.
Update uses and documentation to use the -C option.
Move the documentation from the unstable book to stable rustc
documentation.
The issue here is that the logic used to determine which CGU to put the
dead function stubs in doesn't handle cases where a module is never
assigned to a CGU.
The partitioning logic also caused issues in #85461 where inline
functions were duplicated into multiple CGUs resulting in duplicate
symbols.
This commit fixes the issue by removing the complex logic used to assign
dead code stubs to CGUs and replaces it with a much simplier model: we
pick one CGU to hold all the dead code stubs. We pick a CGU which has
exported items which increases the likelihood the linker won't throw
away our dead functions and we pick the smallest to minimize the impact
on compilation times for crates with very large CGUs.

This commit augments Swatinem's initial commit in uncommitted PR #90047,
which was a great starting point, but did not fully support LLVM
Coverage Mapping Format version 6.
Version 6 requires adding the compilation directory when file paths are
relative, and since Rustc coverage maps use relative paths, we should
add the expected compilation directory entry.
Note, however, that with the compilation directory, coverage reports
from `llvm-cov show` can now report file names (when the report includes
more than one file) with the full absolute path to the file.
This would be a problem for test results, but the workaround (for the
rust coverage tests) is to include an additional `llvm-cov show`
parameter: `--compilation-dir=.`
Removes unneeded check of `#[no_coverage]` in mapgen
There is an anticipated feature request to support a compiler flag that
only adds coverage for specific files (or perhaps mods). As I thought
about where that change would need to be supported, I realized that
checking the attribute in mapgen (for unused functions) was unnecessary.
The unused functions are only synthesized if they have MIR coverage, and
functions with the `no_coverage` attribute will not have been
instrumented with MIR coverage statements in the first place.
New tests confirm this.
Also, while adding tests, I updated resolved comments and FIXMEs in
other tests, and expanded comments and tests on one remaining issue that
is still not resolved.

The Eq trait has a special hidden function. MIR `InstrumentCoverage`
would add this function to the coverage map, but it is never called, so
the `Eq` trait would always appear uncovered.
Fixes: #83601
The fix required creating a new function attribute `no_coverage` to mark
functions that should be ignored by `InstrumentCoverage` and the
coverage `mapgen` (during codegen).
While testing, I also noticed two other issues:
* spanview debug file output ICEd on a function with no body. The
workaround for this is included in this PR.
* `assert_*!()` macro coverage can appear covered if followed by another
`assert_*!()` macro. Normally they appear uncovered. I submitted a new
Issue #84561, and added a coverage test to demonstrate this issue.
Adjusted LLVM codegen for code compiled with `-Zinstrument-coverage` to
address multiple, somewhat related issues.
Fixed a significant flaw in prior coverage solution: Every counter
generated a new counter variable, but there should have only been one
counter variable per function. This appears to have bloated .profraw
files significantly. (For a small program, it increased the size by
about 40%. I have not tested large programs, but there is anecdotal
evidence that profraw files were way too large. This is a good fix,
regardless, but hopefully it also addresses related issues.

Invalid LLVM coverage data produced when compiled with -C opt-level=1
Existing tests now work up to at least `opt-level=3`. This required a
detailed analysis of the LLVM IR, comparisons with Clang C++ LLVM IR
when compiled with coverage, and a lot of trial and error with codegen
adjustments.
The biggest hurdle was figuring out how to continue to support coverage
results for unused functions and generics. Rust's coverage results have
three advantages over Clang's coverage results:
1. Rust's coverage map does not include any overlapping code regions,
making coverage counting unambiguous.
2. Rust generates coverage results (showing zero counts) for all unused
functions, including generics. (Clang does not generate coverage for
uninstantiated template functions.)
3. Rust's unused functions produce minimal stubbed functions in LLVM IR,
sufficient for including in the coverage results; while Clang must
generate the complete LLVM IR for each unused function, even though
it will never be called.
This PR removes the previous hack of attempting to inject coverage into
some other existing function instance, and generates dedicated instances
for each unused function. This change, and a few other adjustments
(similar to what is required for `-C link-dead-code`, but with lower
impact), makes it possible to support LLVM optimizations.
Fixes: #79651
Coverage report: "Unexecuted instantiation:..." for a generic function
from multiple crates
Fixed by removing the aforementioned hack. Some "Unexecuted
instantiation" notices are unavoidable, as explained in the
`used_crate.rs` test, but `-Zinstrument-coverage` has new options to
back off support for either unused generics, or all unused functions,
which avoids the notice, at the cost of less coverage of unused
functions.
Fixes: #82875
Invalid LLVM coverage data produced with crate brotli_decompressor
Fixed by disabling the LLVM function attribute that forces inlining, if
`-Z instrument-coverage` is enabled. This attribute is applied to
Rust functions with `#[inline(always)], and in some cases, the forced
inlining breaks coverage instrumentation and reports.
Consider functions to be reachable for code coverage purposes, either
when they reach the code generation directly, or indirectly as inlined
part of another function.
When codegenning code coverage use the instance that coverage data was
originally generated for, to ensure basic level of compatibility with
MIR inlining.
Fixes: #79725
Some macros can create a situation where `fn_sig_span` and `body_span`
map to different files.
New documentation on coverage tests incorrectly assumed multiple test
binaries could just be listed at the end of the `llvm-cov` command,
but it turns out each binary needs a `--object` prefix.
This PR fixes the bug and updates the documentation to correct that
issue. It also fixes a few other minor issues in internal implementation
comments, and adds documentation on getting coverage results for doc
tests.
Added one more test (two files) showing coverage of generics and unused
functions across crates.
Created and referenced new Issues, as requested.
Added comments.
Added a note about the possible effects of compiler options on LLVM
coverage maps.
Fixes multiple issue with counters, with simplification
Includes a change to the implicit else span in ast_lowering, so coverage
of the implicit else no longer spans the `then` block.
Adds coverage for unused closures and async function bodies.
Fixes: #78542
Adding unreachable regions for known MIR missing from coverage map
Cleaned up PR commits, and removed link-dead-code requirement and tests
Coverage no longer depends on Issue #76038 (`-C link-dead-code` is
no longer needed or enforced, so MSVC can use the same tests as
Linux and MacOS now)
Restrict adding unreachable regions to covered files
Improved the code that adds coverage for uncalled functions (with MIR
but not-codegenned) to avoid generating coverage in files not already
included in the files with covered functions.
Resolved last known issue requiring --emit llvm-ir workaround
Fixed bugs in how unreachable code spans were added.
