This allows constant propagation to evaluate `size_of` and `wrapping_*`,
and unreachable propagation to propagate a call to `unreachable`.
The lowering is performed as a MIR optimization, rather than during MIR
building to preserve the special status of intrinsics with respect to
unsafety checks and promotion.
The lint checks arguments in calls to `transmute` or functions that have
`Pointer` as a trait bound and displays a warning if the argument is a function
reference. Also checks for `std::fmt::Pointer::fmt` to handle formatting macros
although it doesn't depend on the exact expansion of the macro or formatting
internals. `std::fmt::Pointer` and `std::fmt::Pointer::fmt` were also added as
diagnostic items and symbols.
Working with MIR let's us exclude expressions like `&fn_name as &dyn Something`
and `(&fn_name)()`. Also added ABI, unsafety and whether a function is variadic
in the lint suggestion, included the `&` in the span of the lint and updated the
test.
Add CONST_ITEM_MUTATION lint
Fixes#74053Fixes#55721
This PR adds a new lint `CONST_ITEM_MUTATION`.
Given an item `const FOO: SomeType = ..`, this lint fires on:
* Attempting to write directly to a field (`FOO.field = some_val`) or
array entry (`FOO.array_field[0] = val`)
* Taking a mutable reference to the `const` item (`&mut FOO`), including
through an autoderef `FOO.some_mut_self_method()`
The lint message explains that since each use of a constant creates a
new temporary, the original `const` item will not be modified.
