Pointers for variables all need to be in the same address space for
correct compilation. Therefore ensure that even if a global variable is
created in a different address space, it is casted to the default
address space before its value is used.
This is necessary for the amdgpu target and others where the default
address space for global variables is not 0.
For example `core` does not compile in debug mode when not casting the
address space to the default one because it tries to emit the following
(simplified) LLVM IR, containing a type mismatch:
```llvm
@alloc_0 = addrspace(1) constant <{ [6 x i8] }> <{ [6 x i8] c"bit.rs" }>, align 1
@alloc_1 = addrspace(1) constant <{ ptr }> <{ ptr addrspace(1) @alloc_0 }>, align 8
; ^ here a struct containing a `ptr` is needed, but it is created using a `ptr addrspace(1)`
```
For this to compile, we need to insert a constant `addrspacecast` before
we use a global variable:
```llvm
@alloc_0 = addrspace(1) constant <{ [6 x i8] }> <{ [6 x i8] c"bit.rs" }>, align 1
@alloc_1 = addrspace(1) constant <{ ptr }> <{ ptr addrspacecast (ptr addrspace(1) @alloc_0 to ptr) }>, align 8
```
As vtables are global variables as well, they are also created with an
`addrspacecast`. In the SSA backend, after a vtable global is created,
metadata is added to it. To add metadata, we need the non-casted global
variable. Therefore we strip away an addrspacecast if there is one, to
get the underlying global.
`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from
`rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some
closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use
rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use
rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good
reason.
This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`,
and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers in `compiler/` to
`rustc_span::`. This is a 200+ net line of code reduction, mostly
because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to
one.
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`.
llvm: replace some deprecated functions
`LLVMMDStringInContext` and `LLVMMDNodeInContext` are deprecated, replace them with `LLVMMDStringInContext2` and `LLVMMDNodeInContext2`.
Also replace `Value` with `Metadata` in some function signatures for better consistency.
Add `#[warn(unreachable_pub)]` to a bunch of compiler crates
By default `unreachable_pub` identifies things that need not be `pub` and tells you to make them `pub(crate)`. But sometimes those things don't need any kind of visibility. So they way I did these was to remove the visibility entirely for each thing the lint identifies, and then add `pub(crate)` back in everywhere the compiler said it was necessary. (Or occasionally `pub(super)` when context suggested that was appropriate.) Tedious, but results in more `pub` removal.
There are plenty more crates to do but this seems like enough for a first PR.
r? `@compiler-errors`
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.
Add Natvis visualiser and debuginfo tests for `f16`
To render `f16`s in debuggers on MSVC targets, this PR changes the compiler to output `f16`s as `struct f16 { bits: u16 }`, and includes a Natvis visualiser that manually converts the `f16`'s bits to a `float` which is can then be displayed by debuggers. `gdb`, `lldb` and `cdb` tests are also included for `f16` .
