Don't suggest constraining unstable associated types
Fixes#137624
This could be made a bit more specific, considering the local crate's stability or nightly status or something, but I think in general we should not be suggesting associated type bounds on unstable associated items.
Teach structured errors to display short `Ty<'_>`
Make it so that in every structured error annotated with `#[derive(Diagnostic)]` that has a field of type `Ty<'_>`, the printing of that value into a `String` will look at the thread-local storage `TyCtxt` in order to shorten to a length appropriate with the terminal width. When this happen, the resulting error will have a note with the file where the full type name was written to.
```
error[E0618]: expected function, found `((..., ..., ..., ...), ..., ..., ...)``
--> long.rs:7:5
|
6 | fn foo(x: D) { //~ `x` has type `(...
| - `x` has type `((..., ..., ..., ...), ..., ..., ...)`

In the standard library, the `Extend` impl for `Iterator` (specialised
with `TrustedLen`) has a parameter which is constrained by a projection
predicate. This projection predicate provides a value for an inference
variable but host effect evaluation wasn't resolving variables first.
Adding the extra resolve can the number of errors in some tests when they
gain host effect predicates, but this is not unexpected as calls to
`resolve_vars_if_possible` can cause more error tainting to happen.

Use `edition = "2024"` in the compiler (redux)
Most of this is binding mode changes, which I fixed by running `x.py fix`.
Also adds some miscellaneous `unsafe` blocks for new unsafe standard library functions (the setenv ones), and a missing `unsafe extern` block in some enzyme codegen code, and fixes some precise capturing lifetime changes (but only when they led to errors).

Prune dead regionck code
We never encounter `ObligationCauseCode`s that correspond to region obligations that originate from "within" a body, since we don't do HIR regionck anymore on bodies. So prune some dead code.

Emit dropck normalization errors in borrowck
Borrowck generally assumes that any queries it runs for type checking will succeed, thinking that HIR typeck will have errored first if there was a problem. However as of #98641, dropck isn't run on HIR, so there's no direct guarantee that it doesn't error. While a type being well-formed might be expected to ensure that its fields are well-formed, this is not the case for types containing a type projection:
```rust
pub trait AuthUser {
type Id;
}
pub trait AuthnBackend {
type User: AuthUser;
}
pub struct AuthSession<Backend: AuthnBackend> {
data: Option<<<Backend as AuthnBackend>::User as AuthUser>::Id>,
}
pub trait Authz: Sized {
type AuthnBackend: AuthnBackend<User = Self>;
}
pub fn run_query<User: Authz>(auth: AuthSession<User::AuthnBackend>) {}
// ^ No User: AuthUser bound is required or inferred.
```
While improvements to trait solving might fix this in the future, for now we go for a pragmatic solution of emitting an error from borrowck (by rerunning dropck outside of a query) and making drop elaboration check if an error has been emitted previously before panicking for a failed normalization.

Continuing the work started in #136466.
Every method gains a `hir_` prefix, though for the ones that already
have a `par_` or `try_par_` prefix I added the `hir_` after that.
HIR type checking no longer runs dropck, so we may get new errors when
we run it in borrowck. If this happens then rerun the query in a local
infcx and report errors for it.
First of all, note that `Map` has three different relevant meanings.
- The `intravisit::Map` trait.
- The `map::Map` struct.
- The `NestedFilter::Map` associated type.
The `intravisit::Map` trait is impl'd twice.
- For `!`, where the methods are all unreachable.
- For `map::Map`, which gets HIR stuff from the `TyCtxt`.
As part of getting rid of `map::Map`, this commit changes `impl
intravisit::Map for map::Map` to `impl intravisit::Map for TyCtxt`. It's
fairly straightforward except various things are renamed, because the
existing names would no longer have made sense.
- `trait intravisit::Map` becomes `trait intravisit::HirTyCtxt`, so named
because it gets some HIR stuff from a `TyCtxt`.
- `NestedFilter::Map` assoc type becomes `NestedFilter::MaybeTyCtxt`,
because it's always `!` or `TyCtxt`.
- `Visitor::nested_visit_map` becomes `Visitor::maybe_tcx`.
I deliberately made the new trait and associated type names different to
avoid the old `type Map: Map` situation, which I found confusing. We now
have `type MaybeTyCtxt: HirTyCtxt`.
The end goal is to eliminate `Map` altogether.
I added a `hir_` prefix to all of them, that seemed simplest. The
exceptions are `module_items` which became `hir_module_free_items` because
there was already a `hir_module_items`, and `items` which became
`hir_free_items` for consistency with `hir_module_free_items`.

In "specify type" suggestion, skip type params that are already known
When we suggest specifying a type for an expression or pattern, like in a `let` binding, we previously would print the entire type as the type system knew it. We now look at the params that have *no* inference variables, so they are fully known to the type system which means that they don't need to be specified.
This helps in suggestions for types that are really long, because we can usually skip most of the type params and make the annotation as short as possible:

Fix#135919.
Prevent generic pattern types from being used in libstd
Pattern types should follow the same rules that patterns follow. So a pattern type range must not wrap and not be empty. While we reject such invalid ranges at layout computation time, that only happens during monomorphization in the case of const generics. This is the exact same issue as other const generic math has, and since there's no solution there yet, I put these pattern types behind a separate incomplete feature.
These are not necessary for the pattern types MVP (replacing the layout range attributes in libcore and rustc).

Remove unnecessary layout assertions for object-safe receivers
The soundness of `DispatchFromDyn` relies on the fact that, like all other built-in marker-like layout traits (e.g. `Sized`, `CoerceUnsized`), the guarantees that they enforce in *generic* code via traits will result in assumptions that we can rely on in codegen.
Specifically, `DispatchFromDyn` ensures that we end up with a receiver that is a valid pointer type, and its implementation validity recursively ensures that the ABI of that pointer type upholds the `Scalar` or `ScalarPair` representation for sized and unsized pointees, respectively.
The check that this layout guarantee holds for arbitrary, possibly generic receiver types that also may exist in possibly impossible-to-instantiate where clauses is overkill IMO, and leads to several ICEs due to the fact that computing layouts before monomorphization is going to be fallible at best.
This PR removes the check altogether, since it just exists as a sanity check from very long ago, 6f2a161b1b.
Fixes#125810Fixes#90110
This PR is an alternative to #136195. cc `@adetaylor.` I didn't realize in that PR that the layout checks that were being modified were simply *sanity checks*, rather than being actually necessary for soundness.

Implement MIR lowering for unsafe binders
This is the final bit of the unsafe binders puzzle. It implements MIR, CTFE, and codegen for unsafe binders, and enforces that (for now) they are `Copy`. Later on, I'll introduce a new trait that relaxes this requirement to being "is `Copy` or `ManuallyDrop<T>`" which more closely models how we treat union fields.
Namely, wrapping unsafe binders is now `Rvalue::WrapUnsafeBinder`, which acts much like an `Rvalue::Aggregate`. Unwrapping unsafe binders are implemented as a MIR projection `ProjectionElem::UnwrapUnsafeBinder`, which acts much like `ProjectionElem::Field`.

Manually walk into WF obligations in `BestObligation` proof tree visitor
When we encounter a `WellFormed` obligation in the `BestObligation` proof tree visitor, ignore the proof tree and call `wf::unnormalized_obligations` to derive well-formed obligations with the correct cause codes. This is to avoid having to replicate the somewhat delicate logic that `wf.rs` does to set up its obligation causes... Don't see a better way to do this.

Fix deduplication mismatches in vtables leading to upcasting unsoundness
We currently have two cases where subtleties in supertraits can trigger disagreements in the vtable layout, e.g. leading to a different vtable layout being accessed at a callsite compared to what was prepared during unsizing. Namely:
### #135315
In this example, we were not normalizing supertraits when preparing vtables. In the example,
```
trait Supertrait<T> {
fn _print_numbers(&self, mem: &[usize; 100]) {
println!("{mem:?}");
}
}
impl<T> Supertrait<T> for () {}
trait Identity {
type Selff;
}
impl<Selff> Identity for Selff {
type Selff = Selff;
}
trait Middle<T>: Supertrait<()> + Supertrait<T> {
fn say_hello(&self, _: &usize) {
println!("Hello!");
}
}
impl<T> Middle<T> for () {}
trait Trait: Middle<<() as Identity>::Selff> {}
impl Trait for () {}
fn main() {
(&() as &dyn Trait as &dyn Middle<()>).say_hello(&0);
}

When we prepare `dyn Trait`, we see a supertrait of `Middle<<() as Identity>::Selff>`, which itself has two supertraits `Supertrait<()>` and `Supertrait<<() as Identity>::Selff>`. These two supertraits are identical, but they are not duplicated because we were using structural equality and *not* considering normalization. This leads to a vtable layout with two trait pointers.
When we upcast to `dyn Middle<()>`, those two supertraits are now the same, leading to a vtable layout with only one trait pointer. This leads to an offset error, and we call the wrong method.
### #135316
This one is a bit more interesting, and is the bulk of the changes in this PR. It's a bit similar, except it uses binder equality instead of normalization to make the compiler get confused about two vtable layouts. In the example,
```
trait Supertrait<T> {
fn _print_numbers(&self, mem: &[usize; 100]) {
println!("{mem:?}");
}
}
impl<T> Supertrait<T> for () {}
trait Trait<T, U>: Supertrait<T> + Supertrait<U> {
fn say_hello(&self, _: &usize) {
println!("Hello!");
}
}
impl<T, U> Trait<T, U> for () {}
fn main() {
(&() as &'static dyn for<'a> Trait<&'static (), &'a ()>
as &'static dyn Trait<&'static (), &'static ()>)
.say_hello(&0);
}
```
When we prepare the vtable for `dyn for<'a> Trait<&'static (), &'a ()>`, we currently consider the PolyTraitRef of the vtable as the key for a supertrait. This leads two two supertraits -- `Supertrait<&'static ()>` and `for<'a> Supertrait<&'a ()>`.
However, we can upcast[^up] without offsetting the vtable from `dyn for<'a> Trait<&'static (), &'a ()>` to `dyn Trait<&'static (), &'static ()>`. This is just instantiating the principal trait ref for a specific `'a = 'static`. However, when considering those supertraits, we now have only one distinct supertrait -- `Supertrait<&'static ()>` (which is deduplicated since there are two supertraits with the same substitutions). This leads to similar offsetting issues, leading to the wrong method being called.
[^up]: I say upcast but this is a cast that is allowed on stable, since it's not changing the vtable at all, just instantiating the binder of the principal trait ref for some lifetime.
The solution here is to recognize that a vtable isn't really meaningfully higher ranked, and to just treat a vtable as corresponding to a `TraitRef` so we can do this deduplication more faithfully. That is to say, the vtable for `dyn for<'a> Tr<'a>` and `dyn Tr<'x>` are always identical, since they both would correspond to a set of free regions on an impl... Do note that `Tr<for<'a> fn(&'a ())>` and `Tr<fn(&'static ())>` are still distinct.
----
There's a bit more that can be cleaned up. In codegen, we can stop using `PolyExistentialTraitRef` basically everywhere. We can also fix SMIR to stop storing `PolyExistentialTraitRef` in its vtable allocations.
As for testing, it's difficult to actually turn this into something that can be tested with `rustc_dump_vtable`, since having multiple supertraits that are identical is a recipe for ambiguity errors. Maybe someone else is more creative with getting that attr to work, since the tests I added being run-pass tests is a bit unsatisfying. Miri also doesn't help here, since it doesn't really generate vtables that are offset by an index in the same way as codegen.
r? `@lcnr` for the vibe check? Or reassign, idk. Maybe let's talk about whether this makes sense.
<sup>(I guess an alternative would also be to not do any deduplication of vtable supertraits (or only a really conservative subset) rather than trying to normalize and deduplicate more faithfully here. Not sure if that works and is sufficient tho.)</sup>
