the behavior of the type system not only depends on the current
assumptions, but also the currentnphase of the compiler. This is
mostly necessary as we need to decide whether and how to reveal
opaque types. We track this via the `TypingMode`.
Add intrinsics `fmuladd{f16,f32,f64,f128}`. This computes `(a * b) +
c`, to be fused if the code generator determines that (i) the target
instruction set has support for a fused operation, and (ii) that the
fused operation is more efficient than the equivalent, separate pair
of `mul` and `add` instructions.

MIRI support is included for f32 and f64.
The codegen_cranelift uses the `fma` function from libc, which is a
correct implementation, but without the desired performance semantic. I
think this requires an update to cranelift to expose a suitable
instruction in its IR.
I have not tested with codegen_gcc, but it should behave the same
way (using `fma` from libc).
Supertraits of `BuilderMethods` are all called `XyzBuilderMethods`.
Supertraits of `CodegenMethods` are all called `XyzMethods`. This commit
changes the latter to `XyzCodegenMethods`, for consistency.
Stop using LLVM struct types for alloca
The alloca type has no semantic meaning, only the size (and alignment, but we specify it explicitly) matter. Using `[N x i8]` is a more direct way to specify that we want `N` bytes, and avoids relying on LLVM's struct layout. It is likely that a future LLVM version will change to an untyped alloca representation.
Split out from #121577.
r? `@ghost`
We already use `Instance` at declaration sites when available to glean
additional information about possible abstractions of the type in use.
This does the same when possible at callsites as well.
The primary purpose of this change is to allow CFI to alter how it
generates type information for indirect calls through `Virtual`
instances.
This commit adds cross-language LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI)
support to the Rust compiler by adding the
`-Zsanitizer-cfi-normalize-integers` option to be used with Clang
`-fsanitize-cfi-icall-normalize-integers` for normalizing integer types
(see https://reviews.llvm.org/D139395).
It provides forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust
-compiled code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust
-compiled code share the same virtual address space). For more
information about LLVM CFI and cross-language LLVM CFI support for the
Rust compiler, see design document in the tracking issue #89653.
Cross-language LLVM CFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=cfi and
-Zsanitizer-cfi-normalize-integers, and requires proper (i.e.,
non-rustc) LTO (i.e., -Clinker-plugin-lto).
