All uses have been removed. And it's nonsensical: an identifier by
definition has at least one char.
The commits adds an is-non-empty assertion to `Ident::new` to enforce
this, and converts some `Ident` constructions to use `Ident::new`.
Adding the assertion requires making `Ident::new` and
`Ident::with_dummy_span` non-const, which is no great loss.
The commit amends a couple of places that do path splitting to ensure no
empty identifiers are created.
Remove global `next_disambiguator` state and handle it with a `DisambiguatorState` type
This removes `Definitions.next_disambiguator` as it doesn't guarantee deterministic def paths when `create_def` is called in parallel. Instead a new `DisambiguatorState` type is passed as a mutable reference to `create_def` to help create unique def paths. `create_def` calls with distinct `DisambiguatorState` instances must ensure that that the def paths are unique without its help.
Anon associated types did rely on this global state for uniqueness and are changed to use (method they're defined in + their position in the method return type) as the `DefPathData` to ensure uniqueness. This also means that the method they're defined in appears in error messages, which is nicer.
`DefPathData::NestedStatic` is added to use for nested data inside statics instead of reusing `DefPathData::AnonConst` to avoid conflicts with those.

Simplify `LazyAttrTokenStream`
`LazyAttrTokenStream` is an unpleasant type: `Lrc<Box<dyn ToAttrTokenStream>>`. Why does it look like that?
- There are two `ToAttrTokenStream` impls, one for the lazy case, and one for the case where we already have an `AttrTokenStream`.
- The lazy case (`LazyAttrTokenStreamImpl`) is implemented in `rustc_parse`, but `LazyAttrTokenStream` is defined in `rustc_ast`, which does not depend on `rustc_parse`. The use of the trait lets `rustc_ast` implicitly depend on `rustc_parse`. This explains the `dyn`.
- `LazyAttrTokenStream` must have a `size_of` as small as possible, because it's used in many AST nodes. This explains the `Lrc<Box<_>>`, which keeps it to one word. (It's required `Lrc<dyn _>` would be a fat pointer.)
This PR moves `LazyAttrTokenStreamImpl` (and a few other token stream things) from `rustc_parse` to `rustc_ast`. This lets us replace the `ToAttrTokenStream` trait with a two-variant enum and also remove the `Box`, changing `LazyAttrTokenStream` to `Lrc<LazyAttrTokenStreamInner>`. Plus it does a few cleanups.
r? `@petrochenkov`
This commit does the following.
- Changes it from `Lrc<Box<dyn ToAttrTokenStream>>` to
`Lrc<LazyAttrTokenStreamInner>`.
- Reworks `LazyAttrTokenStreamImpl` as `LazyAttrTokenStreamInner`, which
is a two-variant enum.
- Removes the `ToAttrTokenStream` trait and the two impls of it.
The recursion limit must be increased in some crates otherwise rustdoc
aborts.
Make #![feature(let_chains)] bootstrap conditional in compiler/
Let chains have been stabilized recently in #132833, so we can remove the gating from our uses in the compiler (as the compiler uses edition 2024).
An upcoming lint will want to be able to know if a lifetime is
hidden (e.g. `&u8`, `ContainsLifetime`) or anonymous: (e.g. `&'_ u8`,
`ContainsLifetime<'_>`). It will also want to know if the lifetime is
related to a reference (`&u8`) or a path (`ContainsLifetime`).
I'm removing empty identifiers everywhere, because in practice they
always mean "no identifier" rather than "empty identifier". (An empty
identifier is impossible.) It's better to use `Option` to mean "no
identifier" because you then can't forget about the "no identifier"
possibility.
Some specifics:
- When testing an attribute for a single name, the commit uses the
`has_name` method.
- When testing an attribute for multiple names, the commit uses the new
`has_any_name` method.
- When using `match` on an attribute, the match arms now have `Some` on
them.
In the tests, we now avoid printing empty identifiers by not printing
the identifier in the `error:` line at all, instead letting the carets
point out the problem.
It's a much better name, more consistent with how we name such things.
Also rename `Lifetime::res` as `Lifetime::kind` to match. I suspect this
field used to have the type `LifetimeRes` and then the type was changed
but the field name remained the same.
Enable contracts for const functions

It bugs me when variables of type `Ident` are called `name`. It leads to
silly things like `name.name`. `Ident` variables should be called

Implement `super let`
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/139076
This implements `super let` as proposed in #139080, based on the following two equivalence rules.
1. For all expressions `$expr` in any context, these are equivalent:
- `& $expr`
- `{ super let a = & $expr; a }`
2. And, additionally, these are equivalent in any context when `$expr` is a temporary (aka rvalue):
- `& $expr`
- `{ super let a = $expr; & a }`
So far, this experiment has a few interesting results:
## Interesting result 1
In this snippet:
```rust
super let a = f(&temp());
```
I originally expected temporary `temp()` would be dropped at the end of the statement (`;`), just like in a regular `let`, because `temp()` is not subject to temporary lifetime extension.
However, it turns out that that would break the fundamental equivalence rules.
For example, in
```rust
g(&f(&temp()));
```
the temporary `temp()` will be dropped at the `;`.
The first equivalence rule tells us this must be equivalent:
```rust
g({ super let a = &f(&temp()); a });
```
But that means that `temp()` must live until the last `;` (after `g()`), not just the first `;` (after `f()`).
While this was somewhat surprising to me at first, it does match the exact behavior we need for `pin!()`: The following _should work_. (See also https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/138718)
```rust
g(pin!(f(&mut temp())));
```
Here, `temp()` lives until the end of the statement. This makes sense from the perspective of the user, as no other `;` or `{}` are visible. Whether `pin!()` uses a `{}` block internally or not should be irrelevant.
This means that _nothing_ in a `super let` statement will be dropped at the end of that super let statement. It does not even need its own scope.
This raises questions that are useful for later on:
- Will this make temporaries live _too long_ in cases where `super let` is used not in a hidden block in a macro, but as a visible statement in code like the following?
```rust
let writer = {
super let file = File::create(&format!("/home/{user}/test"));
Writer::new(&file)
};
```
- Is a `let` statement in a block still the right syntax for this? Considering it has _no_ scope of its own, maybe neither a block nor a statement should be involved
This leads me to think that instead of `{ super let $pat = $init; $expr }`, we might want to consider something like `let $pat = $init in $expr` or `$expr where $pat = $init`. Although there are also issues with these, as it isn't obvious anymore if `$init` should be subject to temporary lifetime extension. (Do we want both `let _ = _ in ..` and `super let _ = _ in ..`?)
## Interesting result 2
What about `super let x;` without initializer?
```rust
let a = {
super let x;
x = temp();
&x
};
```
This works fine with the implementation in this PR: `x` is extended to live as long as `a`.
While it matches my expectations, a somewhat interesting thing to realize is that these are _not_ equivalent:
- `super let x = $expr;`
- `super let x; x = $expr;`
In the first case, all temporaries in $expr will live at least as long as (the result of) the surrounding block.
In the second case, temporaries will be dropped at the end of the assignment statement. (Because the assignment statement itself "is not `super`".)
This difference in behavior might be confusing, but it _might_ be useful.
One might want to extend the lifetime of a variable without extending all the temporaries in the initializer expression.
On the other hand, that can also be expressed as:
- `let x = $expr; super let x = x;` (w/o temporary lifetime extension), or
- `super let x = { $expr };` (w/ temporary lifetime extension)
So, this raises these questions:
- Do we want to accept `super let x;` without initializer at all?
- Does it make sense for statements other than let statements to be "super"? An expression statement also drops temporaries at its `;`, so now that we discovered that `super let` basically disables that `;` (see interesting result 1), is there a use to having other statements without their own scope? (I don't think that's ever useful?)
## Interesting result 3
This works now:
```rust
super let Some(x) = a.get(i) else { return };
```
I didn't put in any special cases for `super let else`. This is just the behavior that 'naturally' falls out when implementing `super let` without thinking of the `let else` case.
- Should `super let else` work?
## Interesting result 4
This 'works':
```rust
fn main() {
super let a = 123;
}
```
I didn't put in any special cases for `super let` at function scope. I had expected the code to cause an ICE or other weird failure when used at function body scope, because there's no way to let the variable live as long as the result of the function.
This raises the question:
- Does this mean that this behavior is the natural/expected behavior when `super let` is used at function scope? Or is this just a quirk and should we explicitly disallow `super let` in a function body? (Probably the latter.)

The questions above do not need an answer to land this PR. These questions should be considered when redesigning/rfc'ing/stabilizing the feature.

Initial support for auto traits with default bounds
This PR is part of ["MCP: Low level components for async drop"](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/727)
Tracking issue: #138781
Summary: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120706#issuecomment-1934006762
### Intro
Sometimes we want to use type system to express specific behavior and provide safety guarantees. This behavior can be specified by various "marker" traits. For example, we use `Send` and `Sync` to keep track of which types are thread safe. As the language develops, there are more problems that could be solved by adding new marker traits:
- to forbid types with an async destructor to be dropped in a synchronous context a trait like `SyncDrop` could be used [Async destructors, async genericity and completion futures](https://sabrinajewson.org/blog/async-drop).
- to support [scoped tasks](https://without.boats/blog/the-scoped-task-trilemma/) or in a more general sense to provide a [destruction guarantee](https://zetanumbers.github.io/book/myosotis.html) there is a desire among some users to see a `Leak` (or `Forget`) trait.
- Withoutboats in his [post](https://without.boats/blog/changing-the-rules-of-rust/) reflected on the use of `Move` trait instead of a `Pin`.
All the traits proposed above are supposed to be auto traits implemented for most types, and usually implemented automatically by compiler.
For backward compatibility these traits have to be added implicitly to all bound lists in old code (see below). Adding new default bounds involves many difficulties: many standard library interfaces may need to opt out of those default bounds, and therefore be infected with confusing `?Trait` syntax, migration to a new edition may contain backward compatibility holes, supporting new traits in the compiler can be quite difficult and so forth. Anyway, it's hard to evaluate the complexity until we try the system on a practice.
In this PR we introduce new optional lang items for traits that are added to all bound lists by default, similarly to existing `Sized`. The examples of such traits could be `Leak`, `Move`, `SyncDrop` or something else, it doesn't matter much right now (further I will call them `DefaultAutoTrait`'s). We want to land this change into rustc under an option, so it becomes available in bootstrap compiler. Then we'll be able to do standard library experiments with the aforementioned traits without adding hundreds of `#[cfg(not(bootstrap))]`s. Based on the experiments, we can come up with some scheme for the next edition, in which such bounds are added in a more targeted way, and not just everywhere.
Most of the implementation is basically a refactoring that replaces hardcoded uses of `Sized` with iterating over a list of traits including both `Sized` and the new traits when `-Zexperimental-default-bounds` is enabled (or just `Sized` as before, if the option is not enabled).
### Default bounds for old editions
All existing types, including generic parameters, are considered `Leak`/`Move`/`SyncDrop` and can be forgotten, moved or destroyed in generic contexts without specifying any bounds. New types that cannot be, for example, forgotten and do not implement `Leak` can be added at some point, and they should not be usable in such generic contexts in existing code.
To both maintain this property and keep backward compatibility with existing code, the new traits should be added as default bounds _everywhere_ in previous editions. Besides the implicit `Sized` bound contexts that includes supertrait lists and trait lists in trait objects (`dyn Trait1 + ... + TraitN`). Compiler should also generate implicit `DefaultAutoTrait` implementations for foreign types (`extern { type Foo; }`) because they are also currently usable in generic contexts without any bounds.
#### Supertraits
Adding the new traits as supertraits to all existing traits is potentially necessary, because, for example, using a `Self` param in a trait's associated item may be a breaking change otherwise:
```rust
trait Foo: Sized {
fn new() -> Option<Self>; // ERROR: `Option` requires `DefaultAutoTrait`, but `Self` is not `DefaultAutoTrait`
}
// desugared `Option`
enum Option<T: DefaultAutoTrait + Sized> {
Some(T),
None,
}
```
However, default supertraits can significantly affect compiler performance. For example, if we know that `T: Trait`, the compiler would deduce that `T: DefaultAutoTrait`. It also implies proving `F: DefaultAutoTrait` for each field `F` of type `T` until an explicit impl is be provided.
If the standard library is not modified, then even traits like `Copy` or `Send` would get these supertraits.
In this PR for optimization purposes instead of adding default supertraits, bounds are added to the associated items:
```rust
// Default bounds are generated in the following way:
trait Trait {
fn foo(&self) where Self: DefaultAutoTrait {}
}
// instead of this:
trait Trait: DefaultAutoTrait {
fn foo(&self) {}
}
```
It is not always possible to do this optimization because of backward compatibility:
```rust
pub trait Trait<Rhs = Self> {}
pub trait Trait1 : Trait {} // ERROR: `Rhs` requires `DefaultAutoTrait`, but `Self` is not `DefaultAutoTrait`
```
or
```rust
trait Trait {
type Type where Self: Sized;
}
trait Trait2<T> : Trait<Type = T> {} // ERROR: `???` requires `DefaultAutoTrait`, but `Self` is not `DefaultAutoTrait`
```
Therefore, `DefaultAutoTrait`'s are still being added to supertraits if the `Self` params or type bindings were found in the trait header.
#### Trait objects
Trait objects requires explicit `+ Trait` bound to implement corresponding trait which is not backward compatible:
```rust
fn use_trait_object(x: Box<dyn Trait>) {
foo(x) // ERROR: `foo` requires `DefaultAutoTrait`, but `dyn Trait` is not `DefaultAutoTrait`
}
// implicit T: DefaultAutoTrait here
fn foo<T>(_: T) {}
```
So, for a trait object `dyn Trait` we should add an implicit bound `dyn Trait + DefaultAutoTrait` to make it usable, and allow relaxing it with a question mark syntax `dyn Trait + ?DefaultAutoTrait` when it's not necessary.
#### Foreign types
If compiler doesn't generate auto trait implementations for a foreign type, then it's a breaking change if the default bounds are added everywhere else:
```rust
// implicit T: DefaultAutoTrait here
fn foo<T: ?Sized>(_: &T) {}
extern "C" {
type ExternTy;
}
fn forward_extern_ty(x: &ExternTy) {
foo(x); // ERROR: `foo` requires `DefaultAutoTrait`, but `ExternTy` is not `DefaultAutoTrait`
}
```
We'll have to enable implicit `DefaultAutoTrait` implementations for foreign types at least for previous editions:
```rust
// implicit T: DefaultAutoTrait here
fn foo<T: ?Sized>(_: &T) {}
extern "C" {
type ExternTy;
}
impl DefaultAutoTrait for ExternTy {} // implicit impl
fn forward_extern_ty(x: &ExternTy) {
foo(x); // OK
}
```
### Unresolved questions
New default bounds affect all existing Rust code complicating an already complex type system.
- Proving an auto trait predicate requires recursively traversing the type and proving the predicate for it's fields. This leads to a significant performance regression. Measurements for the stage 2 compiler build show up to 3x regression.
- We hope that fast path optimizations for well known traits could mitigate such regressions at least partially.
- New default bounds trigger some compiler bugs in both old and new trait solver.
- With new default bounds we encounter some trait solver cycle errors that break existing code.
- We hope that these cases are bugs that can be addressed in the new trait solver.
Also migration to a new edition could be quite ugly and enormous, but that's actually what we want to solve. For other issues there's a chance that they could be solved by a new solver.
In the AST, currently we use `BinOpKind` within `ExprKind::AssignOp` and
`AssocOp::AssignOp`, even though this allows some nonsensical
combinations. E.g. there is no `&&=` operator. Likewise for HIR and
THIR.
This commit introduces `AssignOpKind` which only includes the ten
assignable operators, and uses it in `ExprKind::AssignOp` and
`AssocOp::AssignOp`. (And does similar things for `hir::ExprKind` and
`thir::ExprKind`.) This avoids the possibility of nonsensical
combinations, as seen by the removal of the `bug!` case in
`lang_item_for_binop`.
The commit is mostly plumbing, including:
- Adds an `impl From<AssignOpKind> for BinOpKind` (AST) and `impl
From<AssignOp> for BinOp` (MIR/THIR).
- `BinOpCategory` can now be created from both `BinOpKind` and
`AssignOpKind`.
- Replaces the `IsAssign` type with `Op`, which has more information and
a few methods.
- `suggest_swapping_lhs_and_rhs`: moves the condition to the call site,
it's easier that way.
- `check_expr_inner`: had to factor out some code into a separate
method.
I'm on the fence about whether avoiding the nonsensical combinations is
worth the extra code.
