Retire the `unnamed_fields` feature for now
`#![feature(unnamed_fields)]` was implemented in part in #115131 and #115367, however work on that feature has (afaict) stalled and in the mean time there have been some concerns raised (e.g.[^1][^2]) about whether `unnamed_fields` is worthwhile to have in the language, especially in its current desugaring. Because it represents a compiler implementation burden including a new kind of anonymous ADT and additional complication to field selection, and is quite prone to bugs today, I'm choosing to remove the feature.
However, since I'm not one to really write a bunch of words, I'm specifically *not* going to de-RFC this feature. This PR essentially *rolls back* the state of this feature to "RFC accepted but not yet implemented"; however if anyone wants to formally unapprove the RFC from the t-lang side, then please be my guest. I'm just not totally willing to summarize the various language-facing reasons for why this feature is or is not worthwhile, since I'm coming from the compiler side mostly.

`rustc_resolve` allocates many things in `ResolverArenas`. The lifetime
used for references into the arena is mostly `'a`, and sometimes `'b`.
This commit changes it to `'ra`, which is much more descriptive. The
commit also changes the order of lifetimes on a couple of structs so
that '`ra` is second last, before `'tcx`, and does other minor
renamings such as `'r` to `'a`.
Use `bool` in favor of `Option<()>` for diagnostics
We originally only supported `Option<()>` for optional notes/labels, but we now support `bool`. Let's use that, since it usually leads to more readable code.
I'm not removing the support from the derive macro, though I guess we could error on it... 🤔
Remove braces when fixing a nested use tree into a single item
[Back in 2019](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/56645) I added rustfix support for the `unused_imports` lint, to automatically remove them when running `cargo fix`. For the most part this worked great, but when removing all but one childs of a nested use tree it turned `use foo::{Unused, Used}` into `use foo::{Used}`. This is slightly annoying, because it then requires you to run `rustfmt` to get `use foo::Used`.
This PR automatically removes braces and the surrouding whitespace when all but one child of a nested use tree are unused. To get it done I had to add the span of the nested use tree to the AST, and refactor a bit the code I wrote back then.
A thing I noticed is, there doesn't seem to be any `//@ run-rustfix` test for fixing the `unused_imports` lint. I created a test in `tests/suggestions` (is that the right directory?) that for now tests just what I added in the PR. I can followup in a separate PR to add more tests for fixing `unused_lints`.
This PR is best reviewed commit-by-commit.
ast: Generalize item kind visiting
And avoid duplicating logic for visiting `Item`s with different kinds (regular, associated, foreign).
The diff is better viewed with whitespace ignored.
Macro calls are ephemeral, they should not add anything to the definition tree, even if their AST could contains something with identity.
Thankfully, macro call AST cannot contain anything like that, so these walks are just noops.
In majority of other places in def_collector / build_reduced_graph they are already not visited.
(Also, a minor match reformatting is included.)
fixes#117448
For example unnecessary imports in std::prelude that can be eliminated:
```rust
use std::option::Option::Some;//~ WARNING the item `Some` is imported redundantly
use std::option::Option::None; //~ WARNING the item `None` is imported redundantly
```
- improve diagnostics of field uniqueness check and representation check
- simplify the implementation of field uniqueness check
- remove some useless codes and improvement neatness
Error codes are integers, but `String` is used everywhere to represent
them. Gross!
This commit introduces `ErrCode`, an integral newtype for error codes,
replacing `String`. It also introduces a constant for every error code,
e.g. `E0123`, and removes the `error_code!` macro. The constants are
imported wherever used with `use rustc_errors::codes::*`.
With the old code, we have three different ways to specify an error code
at a use point:
```
error_code!(E0123) // macro call
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // bare ident arg to macro call
\#[diag(name, code = "E0123")] // string
struct Diag;
```
With the new code, they all use the `E0123` constant.
```
E0123 // constant
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // constant
\#[diag(name, code = E0123)] // constant
struct Diag;
```
The commit also changes the structure of the error code definitions:
- `rustc_error_codes` now just defines a higher-order macro listing the
used error codes and nothing else.
- Because that's now the only thing in the `rustc_error_codes` crate, I
moved it into the `lib.rs` file and removed the `error_codes.rs` file.
- `rustc_errors` uses that macro to define everything, e.g. the error
code constants and the `DIAGNOSTIC_TABLES`. This is in its new
`codes.rs` file.
In #119606 I added them and used a `_mv` suffix, but that wasn't great.
A `with_` prefix has three different existing uses.
- Constructors, e.g. `Vec::with_capacity`.
- Wrappers that provide an environment to execute some code, e.g.
`with_session_globals`.
- Consuming chaining methods, e.g. `Span::with_{lo,hi,ctxt}`.
The third case is exactly what we want, so this commit changes
`DiagnosticBuilder::foo_mv` to `DiagnosticBuilder::with_foo`.
Thanks to @compiler-errors for the suggestion.
Because it takes an error code after the span. This avoids the confusing
overlap with the `DiagCtxt::struct_span_err` method, which doesn't take
an error code.
This works for most of its call sites. This is nice, because `emit` very
much makes sense as a consuming operation -- indeed,
`DiagnosticBuilderState` exists to ensure no diagnostic is emitted
twice, but it uses runtime checks.
For the small number of call sites where a consuming emit doesn't work,
the commit adds `DiagnosticBuilder::emit_without_consuming`. (This will
be removed in subsequent commits.)
Likewise, `emit_unless` becomes consuming. And `delay_as_bug` becomes
consuming, while `delay_as_bug_without_consuming` is added (which will
also be removed in subsequent commits.)
All this requires significant changes to `DiagnosticBuilder`'s chaining
methods. Currently `DiagnosticBuilder` method chaining uses a
non-consuming `&mut self -> &mut Self` style, which allows chaining to
be used when the chain ends in `emit()`, like so:
```
struct_err(msg).span(span).emit();
```
But it doesn't work when producing a `DiagnosticBuilder` value,
requiring this:
```
let mut err = self.struct_err(msg);
err.span(span);
err
```
This style of chaining won't work with consuming `emit` though. For
that, we need to use to a `self -> Self` style. That also would allow
`DiagnosticBuilder` production to be chained, e.g.:
```
self.struct_err(msg).span(span)
```
However, removing the `&mut self -> &mut Self` style would require that
individual modifications of a `DiagnosticBuilder` go from this:
```
err.span(span);
```
to this:
```
err = err.span(span);
```
There are *many* such places. I have a high tolerance for tedious
refactorings, but even I gave up after a long time trying to convert
them all.
Instead, this commit has it both ways: the existing `&mut self -> Self`
chaining methods are kept, and new `self -> Self` chaining methods are
added, all of which have a `_mv` suffix (short for "move"). Changes to
the existing `forward!` macro lets this happen with very little
additional boilerplate code. I chose to add the suffix to the new
chaining methods rather than the existing ones, because the number of
changes required is much smaller that way.
This doubled chainging is a bit clumsy, but I think it is worthwhile
because it allows a *lot* of good things to subsequently happen. In this
commit, there are many `mut` qualifiers removed in places where
diagnostics are emitted without being modified. In subsequent commits:
- chaining can be used more, making the code more concise;
- more use of chaining also permits the removal of redundant diagnostic
APIs like `struct_err_with_code`, which can be replaced easily with
`struct_err` + `code_mv`;
- `emit_without_diagnostic` can be removed, which simplifies a lot of
machinery, removing the need for `DiagnosticBuilderState`.
