Because it's only used in `rustc_mir_transform`. (Presumably it is
currently in `rustc_middle` because lots of other MIR-related stuff is,
but that's not a hard requirement.) And because `rustc_middle` is huge
and it's always good to make it smaller.
Because that's now the only crate that uses it.
Moving stuff out of `rustc_middle` is always welcome.
I chose to use `impl crate::MirPass`/`impl crate::MirLint` (with
explicit `crate::`) everywhere because that's the only mention of
`MirPass`/`MirLint` used in all of these files. (Prior to this change,
`MirPass` was mostly imported via `use rustc_middle::mir::*` items.)
Stop allowing `rustc::potential_query_instability` on all of
rustc_mir_transform and instead allow it on a case-by-case basis if it
is safe to do so. In this particular crate, all instances were safe to
allow.
detects redundant imports that can be eliminated.
for #117772 :
In order to facilitate review and modification, split the checking code and
removing redundant imports code into two PR.
When coverage instrumentation and MIR opts are both enabled, coverage relies on
two assumptions:
- MIR opts that would delete `StatementKind::Coverage` statements instead move
them into bb0 and change them to `CoverageKind::Unreachable`.
- MIR opts won't delete all `CoverageKind::Counter` statements from an
instrumented function.
Most MIR opts naturally satisfy the second assumption, because they won't
remove coverage statements from bb0, but `UnreachablePropagation` can do so if
it finds that bb0 is unreachable. If this happens, LLVM thinks the function
isn't instrumented, and it vanishes from coverage reports.
A proper solution won't be possible until after per-function coverage info
lands in #116046, but for now we can avoid the problem by turning off this
particular pass when coverage instrumentation is enabled.
It was disabled because of pathological behaviour of LLVM in some
benchmarks. As of #77680, this has been fixed. The problem there was
that it caused pessimizations in some cases. These have now been fixed
as well.
Before, UnreachablePropagation removed all unreachable branches.
This was a pessimization, as it removed information about
reachability that was used later in the optimization pipeline.
For example, this code
```rust
pub enum Two { A, B }
pub fn identity(x: Two) -> Two {
match x {
Two::A => Two::A,
Two::B => Two::B,
}
}
```
basically has `switchInt() -> [0: 0, 1: 1, otherwise: unreachable]` for the match.
This allows it to be transformed into a simple `x`. If we remove the
unreachable branch, the transformation becomes illegal.
This one is a heavy `'tcx` user.
Two interesting ones:
This one had the `'tcx` declared on the function, despite the trait taking a `'tcx`:
```diff
-impl Visitor<'_> for UsedLocals {
+impl<'tcx> Visitor<'tcx> for UsedLocals {
fn visit_statement(&mut self, statement: &Statement<'tcx>, location: Location) {
```
This one use in-band for one, and underscore for the other:
```diff
-pub fn remove_dead_blocks(tcx: TyCtxt<'tcx>, body: &mut Body<'_>) {
+pub fn remove_dead_blocks<'tcx>(tcx: TyCtxt<'tcx>, body: &mut Body<'tcx>) {
```
