`tcx.def_kind()` could theoretically invoke another query, which could
cause an infinite query loop. Accessing the HIR map directly makes that
less likely to happen.
I also changed it to use `as_local()` (`tcx.def_kind()` seems to
implicitly call `expect_local()`) and `opt_def_kind()` to reduce the
chance of panicking on valid code.
Trait upcasting coercion (part2)
This is the second part of trait upcasting coercion implementation.
Currently this is blocked on #86264 .
The third part might be implemented using unsafety checking
r? `@bjorn3`
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
During function type-checking, we normalize any associated types in
the function signature (argument types + return type), and then
create WF obligations for each of the normalized types. The HIR wf code
does not currently support this case, so any errors that we get have
imprecise spans.
This commit extends `ObligationCauseCode::WellFormed` to support
recording a function parameter, allowing us to get the corresponding
HIR type if an error occurs. Function typechecking is modified to
pass this information during signature normalization and WF checking.
The resulting code is fairly verbose, due to the fact that we can
no longer normalize the entire signature with a single function call.
As part of the refactoring, we now perform HIR-based WF checking
for several other 'typed items' (statics, consts, and inherent impls).
As a result, WF and projection errors in a function signature now
have a precise span, which points directly at the responsible type.
If a function signature is constructed via a macro, this will allow
the error message to point at the code 'most responsible' for the error
(e.g. a user-supplied macro argument).
During well-formed checking, we walk through all types 'nested' in
generic arguments. For example, WF-checking `Option<MyStruct<u8>>`
will cause us to check `MyStruct<u8>` and `u8`. However, this is done
on a `rustc_middle::ty::Ty`, which has no span information. As a result,
any errors that occur will have a very general span (e.g. the
definintion of an associated item).
This becomes a problem when macros are involved. In general, an
associated type like `type MyType = Option<MyStruct<u8>>;` may
have completely different spans for each nested type in the HIR. Using
the span of the entire associated item might end up pointing to a macro
invocation, even though a user-provided span is available in one of the
nested types.
This PR adds a framework for HIR-based well formed checking. This check
is only run during error reporting, and is used to obtain a more precise
span for an existing error. This is accomplished by individually
checking each 'nested' type in the HIR for the type, allowing us to
find the most-specific type (and span) that produces a given error.
The majority of the changes are to the error-reporting code. However,
some of the general trait code is modified to pass through more
information.
Since this has no soundness implications, I've implemented a minimal
version to begin with, which can be extended over time. In particular,
this only works for HIR items with a corresponding `DefId` (e.g. it will
not work for WF-checking performed within function bodies).
Remove unused feature gates
The first commit removes a usage of a feature gate, but I don't expect it to be controversial as the feature gate was only used to workaround a limitation of rust in the past. (closures never being `Clone`)
The second commit uses `#[allow_internal_unstable]` to avoid leaking the `trusted_step` feature gate usage from inside the index newtype macro. It didn't work for the `min_specialization` feature gate though.
The third commit removes (almost) all feature gates from the compiler that weren't used anyway.
Reduce the amount of untracked state in TyCtxt
Access to untracked global state may generate instances of #84970.
The GlobalCtxt contains the lowered HIR, the resolver outputs and interners.
By wrapping the resolver inside a query, we make sure those accesses are properly tracked.
As a no_hash query, all dependent queries essentially become `eval_always`,
what they should have been from the beginning.
This means that we're no longer generating the iteration/locking code for each
invocation site of iter_results, rather just once per query.
This is a 15% win in instruction counts when compiling the rustc_query_impl crate.
normalize mir::Constant differently from ty::Const in preparation for valtrees
Valtrees are unable to represent many kind of constant values (this is on purpose). For constants that are used at runtime, we do not need a valtree representation and can thus use a different form of evaluation. In order to make this explicit and less fragile, I added a `fold_constant` method to `TypeFolder` and implemented it for normalization. Normalization can now, when it wants to eagerly evaluate a constant, normalize `mir::Constant` directly into a `mir::ConstantKind::Val` instead of relying on the `ty::Const` evaluation.
In the future we can get rid of the `ty::Const` in there entirely and add our own `Unevaluated` variant to `mir::ConstantKind`. This would allow us to remove the `promoted` field from `ty::ConstKind::Unevaluated`, as promoteds can never occur in the type system.

Implement (but don't use) valtree and refactor in preparation of use
This PR does not cause any functional change. It refactors various things that are needed to make valtrees possible. This refactoring got big enough that I decided I'd want it reviewed as a PR instead of trying to make one huge PR with all the changes.
cc `@rust-lang/wg-const-eval` on the following commits:
* 2027184 implement valtree
* eeecea9 fallible Scalar -> ScalarInt
* 042f663 ScalarInt convenience methods
cc `@eddyb` on ef04a6d
cc `@rust-lang/wg-mir-opt` for cf1700c (`mir::Constant` can now represent either a `ConstValue` or a `ty::Const`, and it is totally possible to have two different representations for the same value)
valtree is a version of constants that is inherently safe to be used within types.
This is in contrast to ty::Const which can have different representations of the same value. These representation differences can show up in hashing or equality comparisons, breaking type equality of otherwise equal types.
valtrees do not have this problem.
This pulls in rust-lang/rustc-rayon#8 to fix#81425. (h/t @ammaraskar)
That revealed weak constraints on `rustc_arena::DropArena`, because its
`DropType` was holding type-erased raw pointers to generic `T`. We can
implement `Send` for `DropType` (under `cfg(parallel_compiler)`) by
requiring all `T: Send` before they're type-erased.
