LLVM already supports emitting compressed debuginfo. In debuginfo=full
builds, the debug section is often a large amount of data, and it
typically compresses very well (3x is not unreasonable.) We add a new
knob to allow debuginfo to be compressed when the matching LLVM
functionality is present. Like clang, if a known-but-disabled
compression mechanism is requested, we disable compression and emit
uncompressed debuginfo sections.
The API is different enough on older LLVMs we just pretend the support
is missing on LLVM older than 16.
Add CL and CMD into to pdb debug info
Partial fix for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/96475
The Arg0 and CommandLineArgs of the MCTargetOptions cpp class are not set within bb548f9645/compiler/rustc_llvm/llvm-wrapper/PassWrapper.cpp (L378)
This causes LLVM to not neither output any compiler path (cl) nor the arguments that were used when invoking it (cmd) in the PDB file.
This fix adds the missing information to the target machine so LLVM can use it.
Stabilize `PATH` option for `--print KIND=PATH`
This PR propose stabilizing the `PATH` option for `--print KIND=PATH`. This option was previously added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/113780 (as insta-stable before being un-stablized in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/114139).
Description of the `PATH` option:
> A filepath may optionally be specified for each requested information kind, in the format `--print KIND=PATH`, just like for `--emit`. When a path is specified, information will be written there instead of to stdout.

Currently Buck2 works around the lack of support for `--print KIND=PATH` by [indirecting through a Python wrapper script](d43cf3a51a/prelude/rust/tools/get_rustc_cfg.py) to redirect rustc's stdout into the location dictated by the build system.

Add an (perma-)unstable option to disable vtable vptr
This flag is intended for evaluation of trait upcasting space cost for embedded use cases.
Compared to the approach in #112355, this option provides a way to evaluate end-to-end cost of trait upcasting. Rationale: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/112355#issuecomment-1658207769
## How this flag should be used (after merge)
Build your project with and without `-Zno-trait-vptr` flag. If you are using cargo, set `RUSTFLAGS="-Zno-trait-vptr"` in the environment variable. You probably also want to use `-Zbuild-std` or the binary built may be broken. Save both binaries somewhere.
### Evaluate the space cost
The option has a direct and indirect impact on vtable space usage. Directly, it gets rid of the trait vptr entry needed to store a pointer to a vtable of a supertrait. (IMO) this is a small saving usually. The larger saving usually comes with the indirect saving by eliminating the vtable of the supertrait (and its parent).
Both impacts only affects vtables (notably the number of functions monomorphized should , however where vtable reside can depend on your relocation model. If the relocation model is static, then vtable is rodata (usually stored in Flash/ROM together with text in embedded scenario). If the binary is relocatable, however, the vtable will live in `.data` (more specifically, `.data.rel.ro`), and this will need to reside in RAM (which may be a more scarce resource in some cases), together with dynamic relocation info living in readonly segment.
For evaluation, you should run `size` on both binaries, with and without the flag. `size` would output three columns, `text`, `data`, `bss` and the sum `dec` (and it's hex version). As explained above, both `text` and `data` may change. `bss` shouldn't usually change. It'll be useful to see:
* Percentage change in text + data (indicating required flash/ROM size)
* Percentage change in data + bss (indicating required RAM size)

Lots of tiny incremental simplifications of `EmitterWriter` internals
ignore the first commit, it's https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/114088 squashed and rebased, but it's needed to use to use `derive_setters`, as they need a newer `syn` version.
Then this PR starts out with removing many arguments that are almost always defaulted to `None` or `false` and replace them with builder methods that can set these fields in the few cases that want to set them.
After that it's one commit after the other that removes or merges things until everything becomes some very simple trait objects
It lints against features that are inteded to be internal to the
compiler and standard library. Implements MCP #596.
We allow `internal_features` in the standard library and compiler as those
use many features and this _is_ the standard library from the "internal to the compiler and
standard library" after all.
Marking some features as internal wasn't exactly the most scientific approach, I just marked some
mostly obvious features. While there is a categorization in the macro,
it's not very well upheld (should probably be fixed in another PR).
We always pass `-Ainternal_features` in the testsuite
About 400 UI tests and several other tests use internal features.
Instead of throwing the attribute on each one, just always allow them.
There's nothing wrong with testing internal features^^
Remove -Z diagnostic-width
This removes the `-Z diagnostic-width` option since it is ignored and does nothing. `-Z diagnostic-width` was stabilized as `--diagnostic-width` in #95635. It is not entirely clear why the `-Z` flag was kept, but in part its final use was removed in #102216, but the `-Z` flag itself was not removed.
Split some functions with many arguments into builder pattern functions
r? `@estebank`
This doesn't resolve all of the ones in rustc, mostly because I need to do other cleanups in order to be able to use some builder derives from crates.io
Works around https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/90672 by making `x test rustfmt --bless` format itself instead of testing that it is formatted
new unstable option: -Zwrite-long-types-to-disk
This option guards the logic of writing long type names in files and instead using short forms in error messages in rustc_middle/ty/error behind a flag. The main motivation for this change is to disable this behaviour when running ui tests.
This logic can be triggered by running tests in a directory that has a long enough path, e.g. /my/very-long-path/where/rust-codebase/exists/
This means ui tests can fail depending on how long the path to their file is.
Some ui tests actually rely on this behaviour for their assertions, so for those we enable the flag manually.

Prototype: Add unstable `-Z reference-niches` option
MCP: rust-lang/compiler-team#641
Relevant RFC: rust-lang/rfcs#3204
This prototype adds a new `-Z reference-niches` option, controlling the range of valid bit-patterns for reference types (`&T` and `&mut T`), thereby enabling new enum niching opportunities. Like `-Z randomize-layout`, this setting is crate-local; as such, references to built-in types (primitives, tuples, ...) are not affected.
The possible settings are (here, `MAX` denotes the all-1 bit-pattern):
| `-Z reference-niches=` | Valid range |
|:---:|:---:|
| `null` (the default) | `1..=MAX` |
| `size` | `1..=(MAX- size)` |
| `align` | `align..=MAX.align_down_to(align)` |
| `size,align` | `align..=(MAX-size).align_down_to(align)` |
------
This is very WIP, and I'm not sure the approach I've taken here is the best one, but stage 1 tests pass locally; I believe this is in a good enough state to unleash this upon unsuspecting 3rd-party code, and see what breaks.
Use SHA256 source file checksums by default when targeting MSVC
Currently, when targeting Windows (more specifically, the MSVC toolchain), Rust will use SHA1 source file checksums by default. SHA1 has been superseded by SHA256, and Microsoft recommends migrating to SHA256.
As of Visual Studio 2022, MSVC defaults to SHA256. This change aligns Rust and MSVC.
LLVM can already use SHA256 checksums, so this does not require any change to LLVM.

Support `--print KIND=PATH` command line syntax
As is already done for `--emit KIND=PATH` and `-L KIND=PATH`.
In the discussion of #110785, it was pointed out that `--print KIND=PATH` is nicer than trying to apply the single global `-o` path to `--print`'s output, because in general there can be multiple print requests within a single rustc invocation, and anyway `-o` would already be used for a different meaning in the case of `link-args` and `native-static-libs`.
I am interested in using `--print cfg=PATH` in Buck2. Currently Buck2 works around the lack of support for `--print KIND=PATH` by [indirecting through a Python wrapper script](d43cf3a51a/prelude/rust/tools/get_rustc_cfg.py) to redirect rustc's stdout into the location dictated by the build system.
From skimming Cargo's usages of `--print`, it definitely seems like it would benefit from `--print KIND=PATH` too. Currently it is working around the lack of this by inserting `--crate-name=___ --print=crate-name` so that it can look for a line containing `___` as a delimiter between the 2 other `--print` informations it actually cares about. This is commented as a "HACK" and "abuse". 31eda6f7c3/src/cargo/core/compiler/build_context/target_info.rs (L242) (FYI `@weihanglo` as you dealt with this recently in https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11633.)
