Rollup merge of #130225 - adetaylor:rename-old-receiver, r=wesleywiser
Rename Receiver -> LegacyReceiver

As part of the "arbitrary self types v2" project, we are going to replace the current `Receiver` trait with a new mechanism based on a new, different `Receiver` trait.

This PR renames the old trait to get it out the way. Naming is hard. Options considered included:
* HardCodedReceiver (because it should only be used for things in the standard library, and hence is sort-of hard coded)
* LegacyReceiver
* TargetLessReceiver
* OldReceiver

These are all bad names, but fortunately this will be temporary. Assuming the new mechanism proceeds to stabilization as intended, the legacy trait will be removed altogether.

Although we expect this trait to be used only in the standard library, we suspect it may be in use elsehwere, so we're landing this change separately to identify any surprising breakages.

It's known that this trait is used within the Rust for Linux project; a patch is in progress to remove their dependency.

Fix a few relative paths in rustc doc

## Changes

- Don't inline the doc for re-exporting some structs that have relative paths in doc.

## Context

See #124028.

- Most of the relative links in rustdoc are there because of circular import (so syntax like `[MyType]: rustc_foo::bar` is difficult to achieve when we cannot import `rustc_xxx` due to circular import)
- Here, I disable new links for re-exports. I think it's fine for re-exported items in `hir::*`.
- There is a few more relative links in other `rustc` crates, however they are not addressed in this PR, as they are not re-exported and/so the relative paths are working.

Closes #124028.

Introduce `structurally_normalize_const`, use it in `rustc_hir_typeck`

Introduces `structurally_normalize_const` to typecking to separate the "eval a const" step from the "try to turn a valtree into a target usize" in HIR typeck, where we may still have infer vars and stuff around.

I also changed `check_expr_repeat` to move a double evaluation of a const into a single one. I'll leave inline comments.

I hesitated to really test this on the new solver where it probably matters for unevaluated consts. If you're worried about the side-effects, I'd be happy to craft some more tests 😄

d9a2cc4dae Auto merge of #128506 - compiler-errors:by-move-body, r=cjgillot
Stop storing a special inner body for the coroutine by-move body for async closures

...and instead, just synthesize an item which is treated mostly normally by the MIR pipeline.

This PR does a few things:
* We synthesize a new `DefId` for the by-move body of a closure, which has its `mir_built` fed with the output of the `ByMoveBody` MIR transformation, and some other relevant queries.
* This has the `DefKind::ByMoveBody`, which we use to distinguish it from "real" bodies (that come from HIR) which need to be borrowck'd. Introduce `TyCtxt::is_synthetic_mir` to skip over `mir_borrowck` which is called by `mir_promoted`; borrowck isn't really possible to make work ATM since it heavily relies being called on a body generated from HIR, and is redundant by the construction of the by-move-body.
* Remove the special `PassManager` hacks for handling the inner `by_move_body` stored within the coroutine's mir body. Instead, this body is fed like a regular MIR body, so it's goes through all of the `tcx.*_mir` stages normally (build -> promoted -> ...etc... -> optimized) .
* Remove the `InstanceKind::ByMoveBody` shim, since now we have a "regular" def id, we can just use `InstanceKind::Item`. This also allows us to remove the corresponding hacks from codegen, such as in `fn_sig_for_fn_abi` .

Notable remarks:
* ~~I know it's kind of weird to be using `DefKind::Closure` here, since it's not a distinct closure but just a new MIR body. I don't believe it really matters, but I could also use a different `DefKind`... maybe one that we could use for synthetic MIR bodies in general?~~ edit: We're doing this now.

a971212545 Auto merge of #127672 - compiler-errors:precise-capturing, r=spastorino
Stabilize opaque type precise capturing (RFC 3617)

This PR partially stabilizes opaque type *precise capturing*, which was specified in [RFC 3617](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3617), and whose syntax was amended by FCP in [#125836](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/125836).

This feature, as stabilized here, gives us a way to explicitly specify the generic lifetime parameters that an RPIT-like opaque type captures.  This solves the problem of overcapturing, for lifetime parameters in these opaque types, and will allow the Lifetime Capture Rules 2024 ([RFC 3498](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3498)) to be fully stabilized for RPIT in Rust 2024.

### What are we stabilizing?

This PR stabilizes the use of a `use<'a, T>` bound in return-position impl Trait opaque types.  Such a bound fully specifies the set of generic parameters captured by the RPIT opaque type, entirely overriding the implicit default behavior.  E.g.:

```rust
fn does_not_capture<'a, 'b>() -> impl Sized + use<'a> {}
//                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//                This RPIT opaque type does not capture `'b`.
```

The way we would suggest thinking of `impl Trait` types *without* an explicit `use<..>` bound is that the `use<..>` bound has been *elided*, and that the bound is filled in automatically by the compiler according to the edition-specific capture rules.

All non-`'static` lifetime parameters, named (i.e. non-APIT) type parameters, and const parameters in scope are valid to name, including an elided lifetime if such a lifetime would also be valid in an outlives bound, e.g.:

```rust
fn elided(x: &u8) -> impl Sized + use<'_> { x }
```

Lifetimes must be listed before type and const parameters, but otherwise the ordering is not relevant to the `use<..>` bound.  Captured parameters may not be duplicated.  For now, only one `use<..>` bound may appear in a bounds list.  It may appear anywhere within the bounds list.

### How does this differ from the RFC?

This stabilization differs from the RFC in one respect: the RFC originally specified `use<'a, T>` as syntactically part of the RPIT type itself, e.g.:

```rust
fn capture<'a>() -> impl use<'a> Sized {}
```

However, settling on the final syntax was left as an open question.  T-lang later decided via FCP in [#125836](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/125836) to treat `use<..>` as a syntactic bound instead, e.g.:

```rust
fn capture<'a>() -> impl Sized + use<'a> {}
```

### What aren't we stabilizing?

The key goal of this PR is to stabilize the parts of *precise capturing* that are needed to enable the migration to Rust 2024.

There are some capabilities of *precise capturing* that the RFC specifies but that we're not stabilizing here, as these require further work on the type system.  We hope to lift these limitations later.

The limitations that are part of this PR were specified in the [RFC's stabilization strategy](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3617-precise-capturing.html#stabilization-strategy).

#### Not capturing type or const parameters

The RFC addresses the overcapturing of type and const parameters; that is, it allows for them to not be captured in opaque types.  We're not stabilizing that in this PR.  Since all in scope generic type and const parameters are implicitly captured in all editions, this is not needed for the migration to Rust 2024.

For now, when using `use<..>`, all in scope type and const parameters must be nameable (i.e., APIT cannot be used) and included as arguments.  For example, this is an error because `T` is in scope and not included as an argument:

```rust
fn test<T>() -> impl Sized + use<> {}
//~^ ERROR `impl Trait` must mention all type parameters in scope in `use<...>`
```

This is due to certain current limitations in the type system related to how generic parameters are represented as captured (i.e. bivariance) and how inference operates.

We hope to relax this in the future, and this stabilization is forward compatible with doing so.

#### Precise capturing for return-position impl Trait **in trait** (RPITIT)

The RFC specifies precise capturing for RPITIT.  We're not stabilizing that in this PR.  Since RPITIT already adheres to the Lifetime Capture Rules 2024, this isn't needed for the migration to Rust 2024.

The effect of this is that the anonymous associated types created by RPITITs must continue to capture all of the lifetime parameters in scope, e.g.:

```rust
trait Foo<'a> {
    fn test() -> impl Sized + use<Self>;
    //~^ ERROR `use<...>` precise capturing syntax is currently not allowed in return-position `impl Trait` in traits
}
```

To allow this involves a meaningful amount of type system work related to adding variance to GATs or reworking how generics are represented in RPITITs.  We plan to do this work separately from the stabilization.  See:

- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124029

Supporting precise capturing for RPITIT will also require us to implement a new algorithm for detecting refining capture behavior.  This may involve looking through type parameters to detect cases where the impl Trait type in an implementation captures fewer lifetimes than the corresponding RPITIT in the trait definition, e.g.:

```rust
trait Foo {
    fn rpit() -> impl Sized + use<Self>;
}

impl<'a> Foo for &'a () {
    // This is "refining" due to not capturing `'a` which
    // is implied by the trait's `use<Self>`.
    fn rpit() -> impl Sized + use<>;

    // This is not "refining".
    fn rpit() -> impl Sized + use<'a>;
}
```

This stabilization is forward compatible with adding support for this later.

### The technical details

This bound is purely syntactical and does not lower to a [`Clause`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.79.0/nightly-rustc/rustc_middle/ty/type.ClauseKind.html) in the type system.  For the purposes of the type system (and for the types team's curiosity regarding this stabilization), we have no current need to represent this as a `ClauseKind`.

Since opaques already capture a variable set of lifetimes depending on edition and their syntactical position (e.g. RPIT vs RPITIT), a `use<..>` bound is just a way to explicitly rather than implicitly specify that set of lifetimes, and this only affects opaque type lowering from AST to HIR.

### FCP plan

While there's much discussion of the type system here, the feature in this PR is implemented internally as a transformation that happens before lowering to the type system layer.  We already support impl Trait types partially capturing the in scope lifetimes; we just currently only expose that implicitly.

So, in my (errs's) view as a types team member, there's nothing for types to weigh in on here with respect to the implementation being stabilized, and I'd suggest a lang-only proposed FCP (though we'll of course CC the team below).

### Authorship and acknowledgments

This stabilization report was coauthored by compiler-errors and TC.

TC would like to acknowledge the outstanding and speedy work that compiler-errors has done to make this feature happen.

compiler-errors thanks TC for authoring the RFC, for all of his involvement in this feature's development, and pushing the Rust 2024 edition forward.

### Open items

We're doing some things in parallel here.  In signaling the intention to stabilize, we want to uncover any latent issues so we can be sure they get addressed.

Fix ICE Caused by Incorrectly Delaying E0107

Fixes  #128249

For the following code:
```rust
trait Foo<T> {}
impl Foo<T: Default> for u8 {}
```
#126054 added some logic to delay emitting E0107 as the names of associated type `T` in the impl header and generic parameter `T` in `trait Foo` match.

But it failed to ensure whether such unexpected associated type bounds are coming from a impl block header. This caused an ICE as the compiler was delaying E0107 for code like:
```rust
trait Trait<Type> {
    type Type;

    fn method(&self) -> impl Trait<Type: '_>;
}
```
because it assumed the associated type bound `Type: '_` is for the generic parameter `Type` in `trait Trait` since the names are same.

This PR adds a check to ensure that E0107 is delayed only in the context of impl block header.

Support ?Trait bounds in supertraits and dyn Trait under a feature gate

This patch allows `maybe` polarity bounds under a feature gate. The only language change here is that corresponding hard errors are replaced by feature gates. Example:
```rust
#![feature(allow_maybe_polarity)]
...
trait Trait1 : ?Trait { ... } // ok
fn foo(_: Box<(dyn Trait2 + ?Trait)>) {} // ok
fn bar<T: ?Sized + ?Trait>(_: &T) {} // ok
```
Maybe bounds still don't do anything (except for `Sized` trait), however this patch will allow us to [experiment with default auto traits](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120706#issuecomment-1934006762).

I want to absorb all the logic for picking whether an Instance is LocalCopy or GloballyShared into one place. As part of this, I wanted to identify Clone shims inside `cross_crate_inlinable` and found that rather tricky. `@compiler-errors` suggested that I add a lang item for `Clone::clone` because that would produce other cleanups in the compiler.

That sounds good to me, but I have looked and I've only been able to find one.

Fix malformed suggestion for repeated maybe unsized bounds

Fixes #127441

Now when we encounter something like `foo(a : impl ?Sized + ?Sized)`, instead of suggesting removal of both bounds and leaving `foo(a: impl )` behind, we suggest changing the first bound to `Sized` and removing the second bound, resulting in `foo(a: impl Sized)`.

Although the issue was reported for impl trait types, it also occurred with regular param bounds. So if we encounter `foo<T: ?Sized + ?Sized>(a: T)` we now detect that all the bounds are `?Sized` and therefore emit the suggestion to remove the entire predicate `: ?Sized + ?Sized` resulting in `foo<T>(a: T)`.

Lastly, if we encounter a situation where some of the bounds are something other than `?Sized`, then we emit separate removal suggestions for each `?Sized` bound. E.g. if we see `foo(a: impl ?Sized + Bar + ?Sized)` or `foo<T: ?Sized + Bar + ?Sized>(a: T)` we emit suggestions such that the user will be left with `foo(a : impl Bar)` or `foo<T: Bar>(a: T)` respectively.

9629b90b3f Auto merge of #127722 - BoxyUwU:new_adt_const_params_limitations, r=compiler-errors
Forbid borrows and unsized types from being used as the type of a const generic under `adt_const_params`

Fixes #112219
Fixes #112124
Fixes #112125

### Motivation

Currently the `adt_const_params` feature allows writing `Foo<const N: [u8]>` this is entirely useless as it is not possible to write an expression which evaluates to a type that is not `Sized`. In order to actually use unsized types in const generics they are typically written as `const N: &[u8]` which *is* possible to provide a value of.

Unfortunately allowing the types of const parameters to contain references is non trivial (#120961) as it introduces a number of difficult questions about how equality of references in the type system should behave. References in the types of const generics is largely only useful for using unsized types in const generics.

This PR introduces a new feature gate `unsized_const_parameters` and moves support for `const N: [u8]` and `const N: &...` from `adt_const_params` into it. The goal here hopefully is to experiment with allowing `const N: [u8]` to work without references and then eventually completely forbid references in const generics.

Splitting this out into a new feature gate means that stabilization of `adt_const_params` does not have to resolve #120961 which is the only remaining "big" blocker for the feature. Remaining issues after this are a few ICEs and naming bikeshed for `ConstParamTy`.

### Implementation

The implementation is slightly subtle here as we would like to ensure that a stabilization of `adt_const_params` is forwards compatible with any outcome of `unsized_const_parameters`. This is inherently tricky as we do not support unstable trait implementations and we determine whether a type is valid as the type of a const parameter via a trait bound.

There are a few constraints here:
- We would like to *allow for the possibility* of adding a `Sized` supertrait to `ConstParamTy` in the event that we wind up opting to not support unsized types and instead requiring people to write the 'sized version', e.g. `const N: [u8; M]` instead of `const N: [u8]`.
- Crates should be able to enable `unsized_const_parameters` and write trait implementations of `ConstParamTy` for `!Sized` types without downstream crates that only enable `adt_const_params` being able to observe this (required for std to be able to `impl<T> ConstParamTy for [T]`

Ultimately the way this is accomplished is via having two traits (sad), `ConstParamTy` and `UnsizedConstParamTy`. Depending on whether `unsized_const_parameters` is enabled or not we change which trait is used to check whether a type is allowed to be a const parameter.

Long term (when stabilizing `UnsizedConstParamTy`) it should be possible to completely merge these traits (and derive macros), only having a single `trait ConstParamTy` and `macro ConstParamTy`.

Under `adt_const_params` it is now illegal to directly refer to `ConstParamTy` it is only used as an internal impl detail by `derive(ConstParamTy)` and checking const parameters are well formed. This is necessary in order to ensure forwards compatibility with all possible future directions for `feature(unsized_const_parameters)`.

Generally the intuition here should be that `ConstParamTy` is the stable trait that everything uses, and `UnsizedConstParamTy` is that plus unstable implementations (well, I suppose `ConstParamTy` isn't stable yet :P).
