This commit adds a new unstable attribute to the compiler which requires that
arguments to a function are always provided as constants. The primary use case
for this is SIMD intrinsics where arguments are defined by vendors to be
constant and in LLVM they indeed must be constant as well.
For now this is mostly just a semantic guarantee in rustc that an argument is a
constant when invoked, phases like trans don't actually take advantage of it
yet. This means that we'll be able to use this in stdsimd but we won't be able
to remove the `constify_*` macros just yet. Hopefully soon though!
Outputs in InlineAsm can be read-write, so splitting it out is useful for things like Store-Store folding, as it cannot be done for a Store-AsmOutput.
This PR is intended to make no changes, just be the mechanical split of the enum. Future changes can use the split, like a MIR pass I'm working on and perhaps two-phase borrows.
Operand: 72 -> 24 B
Statement: 192 -> 96 B
Terminator: 256 -> 112 B
librustc translation memory usage: 1795 -> 1669 MB
next step would be interning lvalues, I suppose?
we can't create the target block until *after* we promote the arguments
- otherwise the arguments will be promoted into the target block. oops.
Fixes#38985.
Allow projections to be promoted to constants in MIR.
This employs the `LvalueContext` additions by @pcwalton to properly extend the MIR promotion of temporaries to allow projections (field accesses, indexing and dereferences) on said temporaries.
It's needed both parity with the old constant qualification logic (for current borrowck) and it fixes#38074.
The former is *required for soundness* if we accept the RFC for promoting rvalues to `'static` constants.
That is, until we get MIR borrowck and the same source of truth will be used for both checks and codegen.
Implement the `!` type
This implements the never type (`!`) and hides it behind the feature gate `#[feature(never_type)]`. With the feature gate off, things should build as normal (although some error messages may be different). With the gate on, `!` is usable as a type and diverging type variables (ie. types that are unconstrained by anything in the code) will default to `!` instead of `()`.
this introduces a DropAndReplace terminator as a fix to #30380. That terminator
is suppsoed to be translated by desugaring during drop elaboration, which is
not implemented in this commit, so this breaks `-Z orbit` temporarily.
