Because `Lrc<Box<T>>` is silly. (Clippy warns about `Rc<Box<T>>` and
`Arc<Box<T>>`, and it would warn here if (a) we used Clippy with rustc,
and (b) Clippy knew about `Lrc`.)
There's no need to store it in `Queries`. We can just use a local
variable, because it's always used shortly after it's produced.
The commit also removes the `tcx.analysis()` call in `ongoing_codegen`,
because it's easy to ensure that's done beforehand.
All this makes the dataflow within `run_compiler` easier to follow, at
the cost of making one test slightly more verbose, which I think is a
good tradeoff.
It partially expands crate attributes before the main expansion pass (without modifying the crate), and the produced preliminary crate attribute list is used for querying a few attributes that are required very early.
Crate-level cfg attributes are then expanded normally during the main expansion pass, like attributes on any other nodes.
The crate hash is needed:
- if debug assertions are enabled, or
- if incr. comp. is enabled, or
- if metadata is being generated, or
- if `-C instrumentation-coverage` is enabled.
This commit avoids computing the crate hash when these conditions are
all false, such as when doing a release build of a binary crate.
It uses `Option` to store the hashes when needed, rather than
computing them on demand, because some of them are needed in multiple
places and computing them on demand would make compilation slower.
The commit also removes `Owner::hash_without_bodies`. There is no
benefit to pre-computing that one, it can just be done in the normal
fashion.
There is a type `QueryCtxt`, which impls the trait `QueryContext`.
Confusingly, there is another type `QueryContext`. The latter is (like
`TyCtxt`) just a pointer to a `GlobalContext`. It's not used much, e.g.
its `impl` block has a single method.
This commit removes `QueryContext`, replacing its use with direct
`GlobalCtxt` use.
Sometimes it can happen that invalid code like a TyKind::Error makes
its way through the compiler without triggering any errors (this is
always a bug in rustc but bugs do happen sometimes :)). These ICEs
will manifest in the backend like as cg_llvm not being able to get
the layout of `[type error]`, which makes it hard to debug. By flushing
before codegen, we display all the delayed bugs, making it easier to
trace it to the root of the problem.
There are a few places were we have to construct it, though, and a few
places that are more invasive to change. To do this, we create a
constructor with a long obvious name.
