Restoring the `num_def_ids` function in the CStore API
## The context
I am the maintainer of https://github.com/hacspec/hacspec, an embedded Rust DSL aimed at cryptographic specifications. As it is normal for an embedded DSL, Hacspec's compiler relies on being plugged to the internal API of the Rust compiler, which is unstable and subject to changes.
## The problem
The Hacspec compiler features its own typechecker, that performs an additional, more restrictive typechecking pass over the Rust code of a crate. To complete this typechecking, the Hacspec compiler needs to retrieve the signature of functions defined in non-local imported crates. Rather than retrieving these signatures on-demand, the Hacspec compiler pre-populates its typechecking context with all the Hacspec-compatible symbols defined in non-local crates first. This requires having a way to iterate over all the definitions in a non-local crate.
I used to do this with `CrateMetadata::all_def_path_hashes_and_def_ids`, but this function was deleted in 908bf5a310. Then, I fellback on `CStore::num_def_ids`, exploiting the fact that all the `DefIds` for a crate have the same `krate_num` and range from `0` to `num_def_ids(krate_num)`. But `num_def_ids` was deleted in b6120bfb35.
I looked to the `Cstore::item_children_untracked` function to replicate the feature of traversing through all the `DefId` for a crate, using `CRATE_DEF_INDEX` as the root, but this does not work as recursive `Cstore::item_children_untracked` calls do not reach all the symbols I was able to reach using the two previous methods.
## Description of this PR
This PR simply restores in the public API of `CStore` the `num_def_ids` function, giving the size of the definition table for a given crate.
Remove unused feature gates
The first commit removes a usage of a feature gate, but I don't expect it to be controversial as the feature gate was only used to workaround a limitation of rust in the past. (closures never being `Clone`)
The second commit uses `#[allow_internal_unstable]` to avoid leaking the `trusted_step` feature gate usage from inside the index newtype macro. It didn't work for the `min_specialization` feature gate though.
The third commit removes (almost) all feature gates from the compiler that weren't used anyway.
Improve debugging experience for enums on windows-msvc
This PR makes significant improvements over the status quo of debugging enums on the windows-msvc platform with either WinDbg or Visual Studio in three ways:
1. Improves the debugger experience for directly tagged enums.
2. Fixes a bug which caused the debugger to sometimes show the wrong debug info for niche layout enums. For example, `Option<&u32>` could sometimes use the debug info for `Option<&f64>` instead leading to nonsensical variable values in the debugger.
3. Significantly improves the debugger experience for niche-layout enums.
Let's look at a few examples:
```rust
pub enum CStyleEnum {
Base = 2,
Exponent = 16,
}
pub enum NicheLayoutEnum {
Tag1,
Data { my_data: CStyleEnum },
Tag2,
Tag3,
Tag4,
}
pub enum OtherEnum<T> {
Case1(T),
Case2(T),
}
fn main() {
let a = Some(CStyleEnum::Base);
let b = Option::<CStyleEnum>::None;
let c = NicheLayoutEnum::Tag1;
let d = NicheLayoutEnum::Data { my_data: CStyleEnum::Exponent };
let e = NicheLayoutEnum::Tag2;
let f = Some(&1u32);
let g = Option::<&'static u32>::None;
let h = Some(&2u64);
let i = Option::<&'static u64>::None;
let j = Some(12u32);
let k = Option::<u32>::None;
let l = Some(12.34f64);
let m = Option::<f64>::None;
let n = CStyleEnum::Base;
let o = CStyleEnum::Exponent;
let p = Some("IAMA optional string!".to_string());
let q = OtherEnum::Case1(42u32);
}
```
This is what WinDbg Preview shows using the latest rustc nightly:
Most of the variables don't show a meaningful value expect for a few cases that we have targeted natvis definitions covering. Even worse, drilling into many of these variables shows information that can be difficult to interpret without an understanding of the layout of Rust types:
With the changes in this PR, we're able to write two natvis definitions that cover all enum cases generally. After building with these changes, WinDbg now shows this instead:
Drilling into the same variables, we can see much more useful information:

Clarifies third-party use of num_def_ids_untracked
Use pattern matching instead of checking lengths explicitly
This piece of code checks that there are exaclty two variants, one having
exactly one field, the other having exactly zero fields. If any of these
conditions is violated, it returns `None`. Otherwise it assigns that one
field's ty to `field_ty`.
Instead of fiddling with indices and length checks explicitly, use pattern
matching to simplify this.

Turn off frame pointer elimination on all Apple platforms.
This ends up disabling frame pointer elimination on aarch64_apple_darwin
which matches what clang does by default along with the
aarch64_apple_ios and x86_64_apple_darwin targets.
Further, the Apple docs "Writing ARM64 Code for Apple Platforms" has a section
called "Respect the Purpose of Specific CPU Registers" which
specifically calls out the frame pointer register (x29):
The frame pointer register (x29) must always address a valid frame
record. Some functions — such as leaf functions or tail calls — may
opt not to create an entry in this list As a result, stack traces
are always meaningful, even without debug information.
Other platforms are updated to not override the default.
rustc: Allow safe #[target_feature] on wasm
This commit updates the compiler's handling of the `#[target_feature]`
attribute when applied to functions on WebAssembly-based targets. The
compiler in general requires that any functions with `#[target_feature]`
are marked as `unsafe` as well, but this commit relaxes the restriction
for WebAssembly targets where the attribute can be applied to safe
functions as well.
The reason this is done is that the motivation for this feature of the
compiler is not applicable for WebAssembly targets. In general the
`#[target_feature]` attribute is used to enhance target CPU features
enabled beyond the basic level for the rest of the compilation. If done
improperly this means that your program could execute an instruction
that the CPU you happen to be running on does not understand. This is
considered undefined behavior where it is unknown what will happen (e.g.
it's not a deterministic `SIGILL`).
For WebAssembly, however, the target is different. It is not possible
for a running WebAssembly program to execute an instruction that the
engine does not understand. If this were the case then the program would
not have validated in the first place and would not run at all. Even if
this were allowed in some hypothetical future where engines have some
form of runtime feature detection (which they do not right now) any
implementation of such a feature would generate a trap if a module
attempts to execute an instruction the module does not understand. This
deterministic trap behavior would still not fall into the category of
undefined behavior because the trap is deterministic.
For these reasons the `#[target_feature]` attribute is now allowed on
safe functions, but only for WebAssembly targets. This notably enables
the wasm-SIMD intrinsics proposed for stabilization in #74372 to be
marked as safe generally instead of today where they're all `unsafe` due
to the historical implementation of `#[target_feature]` in the compiler.
This ends up disabling frame pointer elimination on aarch64_apple_darwin
which matches what clang does by default along with the
aarch64_apple_ios and x86_64_apple_darwin targets.
Further, the Apple docs "Writing ARM64 Code for Apple Platforms" has a section

Previously, we would generate a single struct with the layout of the
dataful variant plus an extra field whose name contained the value of
the niche (this would only really work for things like `Option<&_>`
where we can determine that the `None` case maps to `0` but for enums
that have multiple tag only variants, this doesn't work).
Now, we generate a union of two structs, one which is the layout of the
dataful variant and one which just has a way of reading the
discriminant. We also generate an enum which maps the discriminant value
to the tag only variants.
We also encode information about the range of values which correspond to
the dataful variant in the type name and then use natvis to determine
which union field we should display to the user.
As a result of this change, all niche-layout enums render correctly in
WinDbg and Visual Studio!
This wasn't necessary for msvc and caused issues where different types
with the same name such as different instantiations of `Option<T>` would
have colliding debuginfo. This confused the debugger which would pick
one of the type definitions and use for all types with that name even
though they had different layout.
Avoid creating anonymous nodes with zero or one dependency.
Anonymous nodes are only useful to encode dependencies, and cannot be replayed from one compilation session to another.
As such, anonymous nodes without dependency are always green.
Anonymous nodes with only one dependency are equivalent to this dependency.
