Mention `infer::Trace` methods on `infer::At` methods' docs
I missed that you could do `infcx.at(...).trace(...).eq(a, b)` when `a` and `b` dont implement `ToTrace` but does implement `Relate` these docs would have helped see that 😅
This commit makes type folding more like the way chalk does it.
Currently, `TypeFoldable` has `fold_with` and `super_fold_with` methods.
- `fold_with` is the standard entry point, and defaults to calling
`super_fold_with`.
- `super_fold_with` does the actual work of traversing a type.
- For a few types of interest (`Ty`, `Region`, etc.) `fold_with` instead
calls into a `TypeFolder`, which can then call back into
`super_fold_with`.
With the new approach, `TypeFoldable` has `fold_with` and
`TypeSuperFoldable` has `super_fold_with`.
- `fold_with` is still the standard entry point, *and* it does the
actual work of traversing a type, for all types except types of
interest.
- `super_fold_with` is only implemented for the types of interest.
Benefits of the new model.
- I find it easier to understand. The distinction between types of
interest and other types is clearer, and `super_fold_with` doesn't
exist for most types.
- With the current model is easy to get confused and implement a
`super_fold_with` method that should be left defaulted. (Some of the
precursor commits fixed such cases.)
- With the current model it's easy to call `super_fold_with` within
`TypeFolder` impls where `fold_with` should be called. The new
approach makes this mistake impossible, and this commit fixes a number
of such cases.
- It's potentially faster, because it avoids the `fold_with` ->
`super_fold_with` call in all cases except types of interest. A lot of
the time the compile would inline those away, but not necessarily
always.
Remove migrate borrowck mode
Closes#58781Closes#43234
# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(nll)]` and the removal of `-Z borrowck`. Current borrow checking behavior of item bodies is currently done by first infering regions *lexically* and reporting any errors during HIR type checking. If there *are* any errors, then MIR borrowck (NLL) never occurs. If there *aren't* any errors, then MIR borrowck happens and any errors there would be reported. This PR removes the lexical region check of item bodies entirely and only uses MIR borrowck. Because MIR borrowck could never *not* be run for a compiled program, this should not break any programs. It does, however, change diagnostics significantly and allows a slightly larger set of programs to compile.
Tracking issue: #43234
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2094-nll.md
Version: 1.63 (2022-06-30 => beta, 2022-08-11 => stable).
## Motivation
Over time, the Rust borrow checker has become "smarter" and thus allowed more programs to compile. There have been three different implementations: AST borrowck, MIR borrowck, and polonius (well, in progress). Additionally, there is the "lexical region resolver", which (roughly) solves the constraints generated through HIR typeck. It is not a full borrow checker, but does emit some errors.
The AST borrowck was the original implementation of the borrow checker and was part of the initially stabilized Rust 1.0. In mid 2017, work began to implement the current MIR borrow checker and that effort ompleted by the end of 2017, for the most part. During 2018, efforts were made to migrate away from the AST borrow checker to the MIR borrow checker - eventually culminating into "migrate" mode - where HIR typeck with lexical region resolving following by MIR borrow checking - being active by default in the 2018 edition.
In early 2019, migrate mode was turned on by default in the 2015 edition as well, but with MIR borrowck errors emitted as warnings. By late 2019, these warnings were upgraded to full errors. This was followed by the complete removal of the AST borrow checker.
In the period since, various errors emitted by the MIR borrow checker have been improved to the point that they are mostly the same or better than those emitted by the lexical region resolver.
While there do remain some degradations in errors (tracked under the [NLL-diagnostics tag](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-diagnostics), those are sufficiently small and rare enough that increased flexibility of MIR borrow check-only is now a worthwhile tradeoff.
## What is stabilized
As said previously, this does not fundamentally change the landscape of accepted programs. However, there are a [few](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-fixed-by-NLL) cases where programs can compile under `feature(nll)`, but not otherwise.
There are two notable patterns that are "fixed" by this stabilization. First, the `scoped_threads` feature, which is a continutation of a pre-1.0 API, can sometimes emit a [weird lifetime error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95527) without NLL. Second, actually seen in the standard library. In the `Extend` impl for `HashMap`, there is an implied bound of `K: 'a` that is available with NLL on but not without - this is utilized in the impl.
As mentioned before, there are a large number of diagnostic differences. Most of them are better, but some are worse. None are serious or happen often enough to need to block this PR. The biggest change is the loss of error code for a number of lifetime errors in favor of more general "lifetime may not live long enough" error. While this may *seem* bad, the former error codes were just attempts to somewhat-arbitrarily bin together lifetime errors of the same type; however, on paper, they end up being roughly the same with roughly the same kinds of solutions.
## What isn't stabilized
This PR does not completely remove the lexical region resolver. In the future, it may be possible to remove that (while still keeping HIR typeck) or to remove it together with HIR typeck.
## Tests
Many test outputs get updated by this PR. However, there are number of tests specifically geared towards NLL under `src/test/ui/nll`

rewrite error handling for unresolved inference vars
Pretty much completely rewrites `fn emit_inference_failure_err`.
This new setup should hopefully be easier to extend and is already a lot better when looking for generic arguments.
Because this is a rewrite there are still some parts which are lacking, these are tracked in #94483 and will be fixed in later PRs.

Diagnose anonymous lifetimes errors more uniformly between async and regular fns
Async fns and regular fns are desugared differently. For the former, we create a generic parameter at HIR level. For the latter, we just create an anonymous region for typeck.
I plan to migrate regular fns to the async fn desugaring.
Before that, this PR attempts to merge the diagnostics for both cases.

Finish bumping stage0
It looks like the last time had left some remaining cfg's -- which made me think
that the stage0 bump was actually successful. This brings us to a released 1.62
beta though.
This now brings us to cfg-clean, with the exception of check-cfg-features in bootstrap;
I'd prefer to leave that for a separate PR at this time since it's likely to be more tricky.

Lifetime variance fixes for rustc
#97287 migrates rustc to a `Ty` type that is invariant over its lifetime `'tcx`, so I need to fix a bunch of places that assume that `Ty<'a>` and `Ty<'b>` can be unified by shortening both to some common lifetime.
This is doable, since many lifetimes are already `'tcx`, so all this PR does is be a bit more explicit that elided lifetimes are actually `'tcx`.
Split out from #97287 so the compiler team can review independently.
Add EarlyBinder
Chalk has no concept of `Param` (e0ade19d13/chalk-ir/src/lib.rs (L579)) or `ReEarlyBound` (e0ade19d13/chalk-ir/src/lib.rs (L1308)). Everything is just "bound" - the equivalent of rustc's late-bound. It's not completely clear yet whether to move everything to the same time of binder in rustc or add `Param` and `ReEarlyBound` in Chalk.
Either way, tracking when we have or haven't already substituted out these in rustc can be helpful.
As a first step, I'm just adding a `EarlyBinder` newtype that is required to call `subst`. I also add a couple "transparent" `bound_*` wrappers around a couple query that are often immediately substituted.
