Updates `interpret`, `codegen_ssa`, and `codegen_cranelift` to consume the new cast instead of the intrinsic.
Includes `CastTransmute` for custom MIR building, to be able to test the extra UB.
Remove `box_syntax`
r? `@Nilstrieb`
This removes the feature `box_syntax`, which allows the use of `box <expr>` to create a Box, and finalises removing use of the feature from the compiler. `box_patterns` (allowing the use of `box <pat>` in a pattern) is unaffected.
It also removes `ast::ExprKind::Box` - the only way to create a 'box' expression now is with the rustc-internal `#[rustc_box]` attribute.
As a temporary measure to help users move away, `box <expr>` now parses the inner expression, and emits a `MachineApplicable` lint to replace it with `Box::new`
Closes#49733
Remove both StorageLive and StorageDead in CopyProp.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/107511https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106908 removed StorageDead without the accompanying StorageLive. In loops, execution would see repeated StorageLive, without any StorageDead, which is UB.
So when removing storage statements, we have to remove both StorageLive and StorageDead.
~I also added a MIR validation pass for StorageLive. It may be a bit overzealous.~
The test cases src/test/mir-opt/building/custom/consts.rs and
src/test/mir-opt/const_prop/mutable_variable_no_prop.rs are
currently failing on big-endian platforms as the binary encoding
of some constants is hard-coded in the MIR test files. Fix this
by choosing constant values that have the same encoding on big-
and little-endian platforms.
The test case src/test/mir-opt/issues/issue_75439.rs is failing
as well, but since the purpose of the test is to validate handling
of big-endian integer encodings on a little-endian platform, it does
not make much sense to run it on big-endian platforms in the first
place - we can just ignore it there.
