When `#![feature(min_generic_const_args)]` is enabled, we now lower all
const paths in generic arg position to `hir::ConstArgKind::Path`. We
then lower assoc const paths to `ty::ConstKind::Unevaluated` since we
can no longer use the anon const expression lowering machinery. In the
process of implementing this, I factored out `hir_ty_lowering` code that
is now shared between lowering assoc types and assoc consts.
This PR also introduces a `#[type_const]` attribute for trait assoc
consts that are allowed as const args. However, we still need to
implement code to check that assoc const definitions satisfy
`#[type_const]` if present (basically is it a const path or a
monomorphic anon const).
remove support for the (unstable) #[start] attribute
As explained by `@Noratrieb:`
`#[start]` should be deleted. It's nothing but an accidentally leaked implementation detail that's a not very useful mix between "portable" entrypoint logic and bad abstraction.
I think the way the stable user-facing entrypoint should work (and works today on stable) is pretty simple:
- `std`-using cross-platform programs should use `fn main()`. the compiler, together with `std`, will then ensure that code ends up at `main` (by having a platform-specific entrypoint that gets directed through `lang_start` in `std` to `main` - but that's just an implementation detail)
- `no_std` platform-specific programs should use `#![no_main]` and define their own platform-specific entrypoint symbol with `#[no_mangle]`, like `main`, `_start`, `WinMain` or `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here`. most of them only support a single platform anyways, and need cfg for the different platform's ways of passing arguments or other things *anyways*
`#[start]` is in a super weird position of being neither of those two. It tries to pretend that it's cross-platform, but its signature is a total lie. Those arguments are just stubbed out to zero on ~~Windows~~ wasm, for example. It also only handles the platform-specific entrypoints for a few platforms that are supported by `std`, like Windows or Unix-likes. `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here` can't use it, and neither could a libc-less Linux program.
So we have an attribute that only works in some cases anyways, that has a signature that's a total lie (and a signature that, as I might want to add, has changed recently, and that I definitely would not be comfortable giving *any* stability guarantees on), and where there's a pretty easy way to get things working without it in the first place.
Note that this feature has **not** been RFCed in the first place.
*This comment was posted [in May](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29633#issuecomment-2088596042) and so far nobody spoke up in that issue with a usecase that would require keeping the attribute.*

Adds `#[rustc_force_inline]` which is similar to always inlining but
reports an error if the inlining was not possible, and which always
attempts to inline annotated items, regardless of optimisation levels.
It can only be applied to free functions to guarantee that the MIR
inliner will be able to resolve calls.
Add support for wasm exception handling to Emscripten target
This is a draft because we need some additional setting for the Emscripten target to select between the old exception handling and the new exception handling. I don't know how to add a setting like that, would appreciate advice from Rust folks. We could maybe choose to use the new exception handling if `Ctarget-feature=+exception-handling` is passed? I tried this but I get errors from llvm so I'm not doing it right.
turn rustc_box into an intrinsic
I am not entirely sure why this was made a special magic attribute, but an intrinsic seems like a more natural way to add magic expressions to the language.
This commit splits the `#[rustc_deny_explicit_impl(implement_via_object = ...)]` attribute
into two attributes `#[rustc_deny_explicit_impl]` and `#[rustc_do_not_implement_via_object]`.
This allows us to have special traits that can have user-defined impls but do not have the
automatic trait impl for trait objects (`impl Trait for dyn Trait`).
This commit seeks to stabilize the `#[diagnostic::do_not_recommend]`
attribute.
This attribute was first proposed as `#[do_not_recommend`] attribute in
RFC 2397 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2397). It gives the
crate authors the ability to not suggest to the compiler to not show
certain traits in it's error messages. With the presence of the
`#[diagnostic]` tool attribute namespace it was decided to move the
attribute there, as that lowers the amount of guarantees the compiler
needs to give about the exact way this influences error messages. It
turns the attribute into a hint which can be ignored. In addition to the
original proposed functionality this attribute now also hides the marked
trait in help messages ("This trait is implemented by: ").
The attribute does not accept any argument and can only be placed on
trait implementations. If it is placed somewhere else a lint warning is
emitted and the attribute is otherwise ignored. If an argument is
detected a lint warning is emitted and the argument is ignored. This
follows the rules outlined by the diagnostic namespace.
This attribute allows crates like diesel to improve their error messages
drastically. The most common example here is the following error
message:
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `&str: Expression` is not satisfied
--> /home/weiznich/Documents/rust/rust/tests/ui/diagnostic_namespace/do_not_recommend.rs:53:15
|
LL | SelectInt.check("bar");
| ^^^^^ the trait `Expression` is not implemented for `&str`, which is required by `&str: AsExpression<Integer>`
|
= help: the following other types implement trait `Expression`:
Bound<T>
SelectInt
note: required for `&str` to implement `AsExpression<Integer>`
--> /home/weiznich/Documents/rust/rust/tests/ui/diagnostic_namespace/do_not_recommend.rs:26:13
|
LL | impl<T, ST> AsExpression<ST> for T
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^
LL | where
LL | T: Expression<SqlType = ST>,
| ------------------------ unsatisfied trait bound introduced here
```
By applying the new attribute to the wild card trait implementation of
`AsExpression` for `T: Expression` the error message becomes:
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `&str: AsExpression<Integer>` is not satisfied
--> $DIR/as_expression.rs:55:15
|
LL | SelectInt.check("bar");
| ^^^^^ the trait `AsExpression<Integer>` is not implemented for `&str`
|
= help: the trait `AsExpression<Text>` is implemented for `&str`
= help: for that trait implementation, expected `Text`, found `Integer`
```
which makes it much easier for users to understand that they are facing
a type mismatch.

Fixes#51992
`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.
Use attributes for `dangling_pointers_from_temporaries` lint
Checking for dangling pointers by function name isn't ideal, and leaves out certain pointer-returning methods that don't follow the `as_ptr` naming convention. Using an attribute for this lint cleans things up and allows more thorough coverage of other methods, such as `UnsafeCell::get()`.
Fundamentally, we have *three* disjoint categories of functions:
1. const-stable functions
2. private/unstable functions that are meant to be callable from const-stable functions
3. functions that can make use of unstable const features
This PR implements the following system:
- `#[rustc_const_stable]` puts functions in the first category. It may only be applied to `#[stable]` functions.
- `#[rustc_const_unstable]` by default puts functions in the third category. The new attribute `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` can be added to such a function to move it into the second category.
- `const fn` without a const stability marker are in the second category if they are still unstable. They automatically inherit the feature gate for regular calls, it can now also be used for const-calls.
Also, several holes in recursive const stability checking are being closed.
There's still one potential hole that is hard to avoid, which is when MIR
building automatically inserts calls to a particular function in stable
functions -- which happens in the panic machinery. Those need to *not* be
`rustc_const_unstable` (or manually get a `rustc_const_stable_indirect`) to be
sure they follow recursive const stability. But that's a fairly rare and special
case so IMO it's fine.
The net effect of this is that a `#[unstable]` or unmarked function can be
constified simply by marking it as `const fn`, and it will then be
const-callable from stable `const fn` and subject to recursive const stability
requirements. If it is publicly reachable (which implies it cannot be unmarked),
it will be const-unstable under the same feature gate. Only if the function ever
becomes `#[stable]` does it need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` or
`#[rustc_const_stable]` marker to decide if this should also imply
const-stability.
Adding `#[rustc_const_unstable]` is only needed for (a) functions that need to
use unstable const lang features (including intrinsics), or (b) `#[stable]`
functions that are not yet intended to be const-stable. Adding
`#[rustc_const_stable]` is only needed for functions that are actually meant to
be directly callable from stable const code. `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` is
used to mark intrinsics as const-callable and for `#[rustc_const_unstable]`
functions that are actually called from other, exposed-on-stable `const fn`. No
other attributes are required.
fix rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed docs
As far as I can tell, even back when this was [added](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/60300) it never *enabled* any optimizations. It just indicates that the FFI compat lint should accept those types for NPO.
This commit changes the way we treat the stability of attributes in the
`#[diagnostic]` namespace. Instead of relaying on ad-hoc checks to
ensure at call side that a certain attribute is really usable at that
location it centralises the logic to one place. For diagnostic
attributes comming from other crates it just skips serializing
attributes that are not stable and that do not have the corresponding
feature enabled. For attributes from the current crate we can just use
the feature information provided by `TyCtx`.
derive(SmartPointer): register helper attributes
Fix#128888
This PR enables built-in macros to register helper attributes, if any, to support correct name resolution in the correct lexical scope under the macros.
Also, `#[pointee]` is moved into the scope under `derive(SmartPointer)`.
