# Stabilization report
## Summary
This stabilizes using macro expansion in key-value attributes, like so:
```rust
#[doc = include_str!("my_doc.md")]
struct S;
#[path = concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/generated.rs")]
mod m;
```
See the changes to the reference for details on what macros are allowed;
see Petrochenkov's excellent blog post [on internals](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/macro-expansion-points-in-attributes/11455)
for alternatives that were considered and rejected ("why accept no more
and no less?")
This has been available on nightly since 1.50 with no major issues.
## Notes
### Accepted syntax
The parser accepts arbitrary Rust expressions in this position, but any expression other than a macro invocation will ultimately lead to an error because it is not expected by the built-in expression forms (e.g., `#[doc]`). Note that decorators and the like may be able to observe other expression forms.
### Expansion ordering
Expansion of macro expressions in "inert" attributes occurs after decorators have executed, analogously to macro expressions appearing in the function body or other parts of decorator input.
There is currently no way for decorators to accept macros in key-value position if macro expansion must be performed before the decorator executes (if the macro can simply be copied into the output for later expansion, that can work).

## Unresolved Questions
~~https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/83366#issuecomment-805180738 listed some concerns, but they have been resolved as of this final report.~~
## Additional Information
There are two workarounds that have a similar effect for `#[doc]`
attributes on nightly. One is to emulate this behavior by using a limited version of this feature that was stabilized for historical reasons:
```rust
macro_rules! forward_inner_docs {
($e:expr => $i:item) => {
#[doc = $e]
$i
};
}
forward_inner_docs!(include_str!("lib.rs") => struct S {});
```
This also works for other attributes (like `#[path = concat!(...)]`).
The other is to use `doc(include)`:
```rust
#![feature(external_doc)]
#[doc(include = "lib.rs")]
struct S {}
```
The first works, but is non-trivial for people to discover, and
difficult to read and maintain. The second is a strange special-case for
a particular use of the macro. This generalizes it to work for any use
case, not just including files.
I plan to remove `doc(include)` when this is stabilized. The
`forward_inner_docs` workaround will still compile without warnings, but
I expect it to be used less once it's no longer necessary.
Parse unnamed fields of struct and union type
Added the `unnamed_fields` feature gate.
This is a prototype of [RFC 2102](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/49804), so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

have on_completion record subcycles
have on_completion record subcycles
Rework `on_completion` method so that it removes all
provisional cache entries that are "below" a completed
node (while leaving those entries that are not below
the node).
This corrects an imprecise result that could in turn lead
to an incremental compilation failure. Under the old
scheme, if you had:
* A depends on...
* B depends on A
* C depends on...
* D depends on C
* T: 'static
then the provisional results for A, B, C, and D would all
be entangled. Thus, if A was `EvaluatedToOkModuloRegions`
(because of that final condition), then the result for C and
D would also be demoted to "ok modulo regions".
In reality, though, the result for C depends only on C and itself,
and is not dependent on regions. If we happen to evaluate the
cycle starting from C, we would never reach A, and hence the
result would be "ok".
Under the new scheme, the provisional results for C and D
are moved to the permanent cache immediately and are not affected
by the result of A.
Fixes#83538
r? `@Aaron1011`
This attribute will cause us to invoke evaluate on every where clause of an
invoked function and to generate an error with the result.
Without this, it is very difficult to observe the effects of invoking the trait
evaluator.
Disallows `#![feature(no_coverage)]` on stable and beta (using standard crate-level gating)
Fixes: #84836
Removes the function-level feature gating solution originally implemented, and solves the same problem using `allow_internal_unstable`, so normal crate-level feature gating mechanism can still be used (which disallows the feature on stable and beta).
I tested this, building the compiler with and without `CFG_DISABLE_UNSTABLE_FEATURES=1`
With unstable features disabled, I get the expected result as shown here:
```shell
$ ./build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/bin/rustc src/test/run-make-fulldeps/coverage/no_cov_crate.rs

Implement RFC 1260 with feature_name `imported_main`.
This is the second extraction part of #84062 plus additional adjustments.
This (mostly) implements RFC 1260.
However there's still one test case failure in the extern crate case. Maybe `LocalDefId` doesn't work here? I'm not sure.

Adds feature-gated `#[no_coverage]` function attribute, to fix derived Eq `0` coverage issue #83601
Derived Eq no longer shows uncovered
The Eq trait has a special hidden function. MIR `InstrumentCoverage`
would add this function to the coverage map, but it is never called, so
the `Eq` trait would always appear uncovered.
Fixes: #83601
The fix required creating a new function attribute `no_coverage` to mark
functions that should be ignored by `InstrumentCoverage` and the
coverage `mapgen` (during codegen).
Adding a `no_coverage` feature gate with tracking issue #84605.

Revert "Rollup merge of #82296 - spastorino:pubrules, r=nikomatsakis"
This reverts commit e2561c58a4, reversing
changes made to 2982ba50fc.
As discussed in #83641 this feature is not complete and in particular doesn't work cross macros and given that this is not going to be included in edition 2021 nobody seems to be trying to fix the underlying problem. When can add this again I guess, whenever somebody has the time to make it work cross crates.

While testing, I also noticed two other issues:
* spanview debug file output ICEd on a function with no body. The
workaround for this is included in this PR.
* `assert_*!()` macro coverage can appear covered if followed by another
`assert_*!()` macro. Normally they appear uncovered. I submitted a new
Issue #84561, and added a coverage test to demonstrate this issue.
various const parameter defaults improvements
Actually resolve names in const parameter defaults, fixing `struct Foo<const N: usize = { usize::MAX }>`.
---
Split generic parameter ban rib for types and consts, allowing
```rust
#![feature(const_generics_defaults)]
struct Q;
struct Foo<T = Q, const Q: usize = 3>(T);
```
---
Remove the type/const ordering restriction if `const_generics_defaults` is active, even if `const_generics` is not. allowing us to stabilize and test const param defaults separately.
---
Check well formedness of const parameter defaults, eagerly emitting an error for `struct Foo<const N: usize = { 0 - 1 }>`
---
Do not forbid const parameters in param defaults, allowing `struct Foo<const N: usize, T = [u8; N]>(T)` and `struct Foo<const N: usize, const M: usize = N>`. Note that this should not change anything which is stabilized, as on stable, type parameters must be in front of const parameters, which means that type parameter defaults are only allowed if no const parameters exist.
We still forbid generic parameters inside of const param types.

Cautiously add IntoIterator for arrays by value
Add the attribute described in #84133, `#[rustc_skip_array_during_method_dispatch]`, which effectively hides a trait from method dispatch when the receiver type is an array.
Then cherry-pick `IntoIterator for [T; N]` from #65819 and gate it with that attribute. Arrays can now be used as `IntoIterator` normally, but `array.into_iter()` has edition-dependent behavior, returning `slice::Iter` for 2015 and 2018 editions, or `array::IntoIter` for 2021 and later.

further split up const_fn feature flag
This continues the work on splitting up `const_fn` into separate feature flags:
* `const_fn_trait_bound` for `const fn` with trait bounds
* `const_fn_unsize` for unsizing coercions in `const fn` (looks like only `dyn` unsizing is still guarded here)
I don't know if there are even any things left that `const_fn` guards... at least libcore and liballoc do not need it any more.
`@oli-obk` are you currently able to do reviews?
Match against attribute name when validating attributes
Extract attribute name once and match it against symbols that are being
validated, instead of using `Session::check_name` for each symbol
individually.
Assume that all validated attributes are used, instead of marking them
as such, since the attribute check should be exhaustive.
Stablize `non-ascii-idents`
This is the stablization PR for RFC 2457. Currently this is waiting on fcp in [tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/55467).

This commit implements the idea of a new ABI for the WebAssembly target,
one called `"wasm"`. This ABI is entirely of my own invention
and has no current precedent, but I think that the addition of this ABI
might help solve a number of issues with the WebAssembly targets.
When `wasm32-unknown-unknown` was first added to Rust I naively
"implemented an abi" for the target. I then went to write `wasm-bindgen`
which accidentally relied on details of this ABI. Turns out the ABI
definition didn't match C, which is causing issues for C/Rust interop.
Currently the compiler has a "wasm32 bindgen compat" ABI which is the
original implementation I added, and it's purely there for, well,
`wasm-bindgen`.
Another issue with the WebAssembly target is that it's not clear to me
when and if the default C ABI will change to account for WebAssembly's
multi-value feature (a feature that allows functions to return multiple
values). Even if this does happen, though, it seems like the C ABI will
be guided based on the performance of WebAssembly code and will likely
not match even what the current wasm-bindgen-compat ABI is today. This
leaves a hole in Rust's expressivity in binding WebAssembly where given
a particular import type, Rust may not be able to import that signature
with an updated C ABI for multi-value.
To fix these issues I had the idea of a new ABI for WebAssembly, one
called `wasm`. The definition of this ABI is "what you write
maps straight to wasm". The goal here is that whatever you write down in
the parameter list or in the return values goes straight into the
function's signature in the WebAssembly file. This special ABI is for
intentionally matching the ABI of an imported function from the
environment or exporting a function with the right signature.
With the addition of a new ABI, this enables rustc to:
* Eventually remove the "wasm-bindgen compat hack". Once this
ABI is stable wasm-bindgen can switch to using it everywhere.
Afterwards the wasm32-unknown-unknown target can have its default ABI
updated to match C.
* Expose the ability to precisely match an ABI signature for a
WebAssembly function, regardless of what the C ABI that clang chooses
turns out to be.
* Continue to evolve the definition of the default C ABI to match what
clang does on all targets, since the purpose of that ABI will be
explicitly matching C rather than generating particular function
imports/exports.
Naturally this is implemented as an unstable feature initially, but it
would be nice for this to get stabilized (if it works) in the near-ish
future to remove the wasm32-unknown-unknown incompatibility with the C
ABI. Doing this, however, requires the feature to be on stable because
wasm-bindgen works with stable Rust.
Allow specifying alignment for functions
Fixes#75072
This allows the user to specify alignment for functions, which can be useful for low level work where functions need to necessarily be aligned to a specific value.
I believe the error cases not covered in the match are caught earlier based on my testing so I had them just return `None`.
Rename `#[doc(spotlight)]` to `#[doc(notable_trait)]`
Fixes#80936.
"spotlight" is not a very specific or self-explaining name.
Additionally, the dialog that it triggers is called "Notable traits".
So, "notable trait" is a better name.
* Rename `#[doc(spotlight)]` to `#[doc(notable_trait)]`
* Rename `#![feature(doc_spotlight)]` to `#![feature(doc_notable_trait)]`
* Update documentation
* Improve documentation
