The current alignment check does not include checks for creating
misaligned references from raw pointers, which is now added in this
patch.
When inserting the check we need to be careful with references to
field projections (e.g. `&(*ptr).a`), in which case the resulting
reference must be aligned according to the field type and not the
type of the pointer.
This also parameterize the "excluded pointee types" and exposes a
general method for inserting checks on pointers.
This is a preparation for adding a NullCheck that makes use of the same
code.
- Replace non-standard names like 's, 'p, 'rg, 'ck, 'parent, 'this, and
'me with vanilla 'a. These are cases where the original name isn't
really any more informative than 'a.
- Replace names like 'cx, 'mir, and 'body with vanilla 'a when the lifetime
applies to multiple fields and so the original lifetime name isn't
really accurate.
- Put 'tcx last in lifetime lists, and 'a before 'b.
Because that's now the only crate that uses it.
Moving stuff out of `rustc_middle` is always welcome.
I chose to use `impl crate::MirPass`/`impl crate::MirLint` (with
explicit `crate::`) everywhere because that's the only mention of
`MirPass`/`MirLint` used in all of these files. (Prior to this change,
`MirPass` was mostly imported via `use rustc_middle::mir::*` items.)
detects redundant imports that can be eliminated.
for #117772 :
In order to facilitate review and modification, split the checking code and
removing redundant imports code into two PR.
Launch a non-unwinding panic for misaligned pointer deref
This panic already never unwinds, but that's only because it always hits the unwind guard that's created by our `UnwindAction::Terminate`. Hitting the unwind guard generates a huge double-panic backtrace. Now we generate a normal-looking panic message when this check is hit.
