Add arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc target
Introduces the `arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc` target for building Arm64EC ("Emulation Compatible") binaries for Windows.
For more information about Arm64EC see <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64ec>.
## Tier 3 policy:
> A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
I will be the maintainer for this target.
> Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
Target uses the `arm64ec` architecture to match LLVM and MSVC, and the `-pc-windows-msvc` suffix to indicate that it targets Windows via the MSVC environment.
> Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
Target name exactly specifies the type of code that will be produced.
> If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name. Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo.
Done.
> Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for Rust developers or users.
> The target must not introduce license incompatibilities.
Uses the same dependencies, requirements and licensing as the other `*-pc-windows-msvc` targets.
> Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust license (MIT OR Apache-2.0).
Understood.
> The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding new license exceptions (as specified by the tidy tool in the rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be subject to any new license requirements.
> Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries. Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require such libraries at all. For instance, rustc built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3.
> "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" legal/licensing terms include but are not limited to: non-disclosure requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its developers or users.
Uses the same dependencies, requirements and licensing as the other `*-pc-windows-msvc` targets.
> Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise participate in discussions.
> This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
Understood, I am not a member of the Rust team.
> Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
Both `core` and `alloc` are supported.
Support for `std` depends on making changes to the standard library, `stdarch` and `backtrace` which cannot be done yet as they require fixes coming in LLVM 18.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
Documentation is provided in src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc.md
> Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via `@)` to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
> Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested such notifications.
> Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target.
> In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets, such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target.
Understood.
Don't pass a break scope to `Builder::break_for_else`
This method would previously take a target scope, and then verify that it was equal to the scope on top of the if-then scope stack.
In practice, this means that callers have to go out of their way to pass around redundant scope information that's already on the if-then stack.
So it's easier to just retrieve the correct scope directly from the if-then stack, and simplify the other code that was passing it around.
---
Both ways of indicating the break target were introduced in #88572. I haven't been able to find any strong indication of whether this was done deliberately, or whether it was just an implementation artifact. But to me it doesn't seem useful to carefully pass around the same scope in two different ways.
AST validation: Improve handling of inherent impls nested within functions and anon consts
Minimal fix for issue #121607 extracted from PR #120698 for ease of backporting and since I'd like to improve PR #120698 in such a way that it makes AST validator truly robust against such sort of regressions (AST validator is generally *beyond* footgun-y atm). The current version of PR #120698 sort of does that already but there's still room for improvement.
Fixes#89342.
Fixes [after beta-backport] #121607.
Partially addresses #119924 (#120698 aims to fully fix it).

### Explainer
The last commit of PR #119505 regressed issue #121607.
Previously we would reject visibilities on associated items with `visibility_not_permitted` if we were in a trait (by checking the parameter `ctxt` of `visit_assoc_item` which was 100% accurate) or if we were in a trait impl (by checking a flag called `in_trait_impl` tracked in `AstValidator` which was/is only accurate if the visitor methods correctly updated it which isn't actually the case giving rise to the old open issue #89342).
In PR #119505, I moved even more state into the `AstValidator` by generalizing the flag `in_trait_impl` to `trait_or_trait_impl` to be able to report more precise diagnostics (modeling *Trait | TraitImpl*). However since we/I didn't update `trait_or_trait_impl` in all places to reflect reality (similar to us not updating `in_trait_impl` before), this lead to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/121607#issuecomment-1963084636 getting wrongfully rejected. Since PR #119505 we reject visibilities if the “globally tracked” (wrt. to `AstValidator`) `outer_trait_or_trait_impl` is `Some`.
Crucially, when visiting an inherent impl, I never reset `outer_trait_or_trait_impl` back to `None` leading us to believe that `bar` in the stack [`trait Foo` > `fn foo` > `impl Bar` > `pub fn bar`] (from the MCVE) was an inherent associated item (we saw `trait Foo` but not `impl Bar` before it).
The old open issue #89342 is caused by the aforementioned issue of us never updating `in_trait_impl` prior to my PR #119505 / `outer_trait_or_trait` after my PR. Stack: [`impl Default for Foo` > `{` > `impl Foo` > `pub const X`] (we only saw `impl Default for Foo` but not the `impl Foo` before it).
---
This PR is only meant to be a *hot fix*. I plan on completely *rewriting* `AstValidator` from the ground up to not rely on “globally tracked” state like this or at least make it close to impossible to forget updating it when descending into nested items (etc.). Other visitors do a way better job at that (e.g. AST lowering). I actually plan on experimenting with moving more and more logic from `AstValidator` into the AST lowering pass/stage/visitor to follow the [Parse, don't validate](https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11/05/parse-don-t-validate/) “pattern”.

Stabilize the `#[diagnostic]` namespace and `#[diagnostic::on_unimplemented]` attribute
This PR stabilizes the `#[diagnostic]` attribute namespace and a minimal option of the `#[diagnostic::on_unimplemented]` attribute.
The `#[diagnostic]` attribute namespace is meant to provide a home for attributes that allow users to influence error messages emitted by the compiler. The compiler is not guaranteed to use any of this hints, however it should accept any (non-)existing attribute in this namespace and potentially emit lint-warnings for unused attributes and options. This is meant to allow discarding certain attributes/options in the future to allow fundamental changes to the compiler without the need to keep then non-meaningful options working.
The `#[diagnostic::on_unimplemented]` attribute is allowed to appear on a trait definition. This allows crate authors to hint the compiler to emit a specific error message if a certain trait is not implemented. For the `#[diagnostic::on_unimplemented]` attribute the following options are implemented:
* `message` which provides the text for the top level error message
* `label` which provides the text for the label shown inline in the broken code in the error message
* `note` which provides additional notes.
The `note` option can appear several times, which results in several note messages being emitted. If any of the other options appears several times the first occurrence of the relevant option specifies the actually used value. Any other occurrence generates an lint warning. For any other non-existing option a lint-warning is generated.
All three options accept a text as argument. This text is allowed to contain format parameters referring to generic argument or `Self` by name via the `{Self}` or `{NameOfGenericArgument}` syntax. For any non-existing argument a lint warning is generated.
This allows to have a trait definition like:
```rust
#[diagnostic::on_unimplemented(
message = "My Message for `ImportantTrait<{A}>` is not implemented for `{Self}`",
label = "My Label",
note = "Note 1",
note = "Note 2"
)]
trait ImportantTrait<A> {}
```
which then generates for the following code
```rust
fn use_my_trait(_: impl ImportantTrait<i32>) {}
fn main() {
use_my_trait(String::new());
}
```
this error message:
```
error[E0277]: My Message for `ImportantTrait<i32>` is not implemented for `String`
--> src/main.rs:14:18

Don't require specifying unrelated assoc types when trait alias is in `dyn` type
Object types must specify the associated types for all of the principal trait ref's supertraits. However, we weren't doing elaboration properly, so we incorrectly errored with erroneous suggestions to specify associated types that were unrelated to that principal trait ref. To fix this, use proper supertrait elaboration when expanding trait aliases in `conv_object_ty_poly_trait_ref`.
**NOTE**: Please use the ignore-whitespace option when reviewing. This only touches a handful of lines.

This PR
1. Moves `EarlyBinder` to `TraitRef` inside `ImplTraitHeader`,
2. Changes visibility of `coherence::builtin::check_trait` to `pub(super)` from `pub` as it seems not being re-exported from the `coherence` module.
silence mismatched types errors for implied projections
Currently, if a trait bound is not satisfied, then we suppress any errors for the trait's supertraits not being satisfied, but still report errors for super projections not being satisfied.
For example:
```rust
trait Super {
type Assoc;
}
trait Sub: Super<Assoc = ()> {}
```
Before this PR, if `T: Sub` is not satisfied, then errors for `T: Super` are suppressed, but errors for `<T as Super>::Assoc == ()` are still shown. This PR makes it so that errors about super projections not being satisfied are also suppressed.
The errors are only suppressed if the span of the trait obligation matches the span of the super predicate obligation to avoid silencing error that are not related. This PR removes some differences between the spans of supertraits and super projections to make the suppression work correctly.
This PR fixes the majority of the diagnostics fallout when making `Thin` a supertrait of `Sized` (in a future PR).

Both `core` and `alloc` are supported.

Explicitly assign constructed C++ classes
C++ style guides I am aware of recommend specifically preferring = syntax for any classes with fairly obvious constructors[^0] that do not perform any complicated logic in their constructor. I contend that all constructors that the `rustc_llvm` code uses qualify. This has only become more common since C++ 17 guaranteed many cases of copy initialization elision.
The other detail is that I tried to ask another contributor with infinitely more C++ experience than me (i.e. any) what this constructor syntax was, and they thought it was a macro. I know of no other language that has adopted this same syntax. As the rustc codebase features many contributors experienced in many other languages, using a less... unique... style has many other benefits in making this code more lucid and maintainable, which is something it direly needs.

Change the documented implicit value of `-C instrument-coverage` to `=yes`
The option-value parser for `-Cinstrument-coverage=` currently accepts the following stable values:
- `all` (implicit value of plain `-Cinstrument-coverage`)
- `yes`, `y`, `on`, `true` (undocumented aliases for `all`)
- `off` (default; same as not specifying `-Cinstrument-coverage`)
- `no`, `n`, `false`, `0` (undocumented aliases for `off`)
I'd like to rearrange and re-document the stable values as follows:
- `no` (default; same as not specifying `-Cinstrument-coverage`)
- `n`, `off`, `false` (documented aliases for `no`)
- `0` (undocumented alias for `no`)
- `yes` (implicit value of plain `-Cinstrument-coverage`)
- `y`, `on`, `true` (documented aliases for `yes`)
- `all` (documented as *currently* an alias for `yes` that may change; discouraged but not deprecated)
The main changes being:
- Documented default value changes from `off` to `no`
- Documented implicit value changes from `all` to `yes`
- Other boolean aliases (`n`, `off`, `false`, `y`, `on`, `true`) are explicitly documented
- `all` remains currently an alias for `yes`, but is explicitly documented as being able to change in the future
- `0` remains an undocumented but stable alias for `no`
- The actual behaviour of coverage instrumentation does not change
# Why?
The choice of `all` as the implicit value only really makes sense in the context of the unstable `except-unused-functions` and `except-unused-generics` values. That arrangement was fine for an unstable flag, but it's confusing for a stable flag whose only other stable value is `off`, and will only become more confusing if we eventually want to stabilize other fine-grained coverage option values.
(Currently I'm not aware of any plans to stabilize other coverage option values, but that's why I think now is a fine time to make this change, well before anyone actually has to care about it.)
For example, if we ever add support for opt-in instrumentation of things that are *not* instrumented by `-Cinstrument-coverage` by default, it will be very strange for the `all` value to not actually instrument all things that we know how to instrument.
# Compatibility impact
Because this is not a functional change, there is no immediate compatibility impact. However, changing the documented semantics of `all` opens up the possibility of future changes that could be considered retroactively breaking.
I don't think this is going to be a big deal in practice, for a few reasons:
- The exact behaviour of coverage instrumentation is allowed to change, so changing the behaviour of `all` is not a *stability-breaking* change, as long as it still exists and does something reasonable.
- `-Cinstrument-coverage` is mainly used by tools or scripts that can be easily updated if necessary. It's unusual for users to pass the flag directly, because processing the profiler output is complicated enough that tools/scripts tend to be necessary anyway.
- Most people who are using coverage are probably relying on `-Cinstrument-coverage` rather than explicitly passing `-Cinstrument-coverage=all`, so the number of users actually affected by this change is likely to be low, and plausibly zero.
