This commit intends to fill out some of the remaining pieces of the
C-unwind ABI. This has a number of other changes with it though to move
this design space forward a bit. Notably contained within here is:
* On `panic=unwind`, the `extern "C"` ABI is now considered as "may
unwind". This fixes a longstanding soundness issue where if you
`panic!()` in an `extern "C"` function defined in Rust that's actually
UB because the LLVM representation for the function has the `nounwind`
attribute, but then you unwind.
* Whether or not a function unwinds now mainly considers the ABI of the
function instead of first checking the panic strategy. This fixes a
miscompile of `extern "C-unwind"` with `panic=abort` because that ABI
can still unwind.
* The aborting stub for non-unwinding ABIs with `panic=unwind` has been
reimplemented. Previously this was done as a small tweak during MIR
generation, but this has been moved to a separate and dedicated MIR
pass. This new pass will, for appropriate functions and function
calls, insert a `cleanup` landing pad for any function call that may
unwind within a function that is itself not allowed to unwind. Note
that this subtly changes some behavior from before where previously on
an unwind which was caught-to-abort it would run active destructors in
the function, and now it simply immediately aborts the process.
* The `#[unwind]` attribute has been removed and all users in tests and
such are now using `C-unwind` and `#![feature(c_unwind)]`.
I think this is largely the last piece of the RFC to implement.
Unfortunately I believe this is still not stabilizable as-is because
activating the feature gate changes the behavior of the existing `extern
"C"` ABI in a way that has no replacement. My thinking for how to enable
this is that we add support for the `C-unwind` ABI on stable Rust first,
and then after it hits stable we change the behavior of the `C` ABI.
That way anyone straddling stable/beta/nightly can switch to `C-unwind`
safely.
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.
## User-facing changes
- Intra-doc links to primitives that currently go to rust-lang.org/nightly/std/primitive.x.html will start going to channel that rustdoc was built with. Nightly will continue going to /nightly; Beta will link to /beta; stable compilers will link to /1.52.1 (or whatever version they were built as).
- Cross-crate links from std to core currently go to /nightly unconditionally. They will start going to /1.52.0 on stable channels (but remain the same on nightly channels).
- Intra-crate links from std to std (or core to core) currently go to the same URL they are hosted at; they will continue to do so. Notably, this is different from everything else because it can preserve the distinction between /stable and /1.52.0 by using relative links.
Note that "links" includes both intra-doc links and rustdoc's own
automatically generated hyperlinks.
## Implementation changes
- Update the testsuite to allow linking to /beta and /1.52.1 in docs
- Use an html_root_url for the standard library that's dependent on the channel
This avoids linking to nightly docs on stable.
- Update rustdoc to use channel-dependent links for primitives from an
unknown crate
- Set DOC_RUST_LANG_ORG_CHANNEL from bootstrap to ensure it's in sync
- Include doc.rust-lang.org in the channel
Remove unused feature gates from library/ crates
Removes some unused feature gates from library crates. It's likely not a complete list as I only tested a subset for which it's more likely that it is unused.
Abort when foreign exceptions are caught by catch_unwind
Prior to this PR, foreign exceptions were not caught by catch_unwind, and instead passed through invisibly. This represented a painful soundness hole in some libraries ([take_mut](https://github.com/Sgeo/take_mut/blob/master/src/lib.rs#L37)), which relied on `catch_unwind` to handle all possible exit paths from a closure.
With this PR, foreign exceptions are now caught by `catch_unwind` and will trigger an abort since catching foreign exceptions is currently UB according to the latest proposals by the FFI unwind project group.
