Previously a `Symbol` was stored there, but this ended up causing hash
collisions in situations that otherwise shouldn't have a hash collision. Only
the symbol's string value was hashed, but it was possible for distinct symbols
to have the same string value, fooling various calcuations into thinking that
these paths *didn't* need disambiguating data when in fact they did!
By storing `InternedString` instead we're hopefully triggering all the exising
logic to disambiguate paths with same-name `Symbol` but actually distinct
locations.
Mark various items and fields as private or pub(crate), and remove a function that turns out to be unused.
These are not used anywhere in-tree, but I guess it's a [breaking-change] for plugins.
A number of things were using `crate_hash` that really ought to be using
`crate_disambiguator` (e.g., to create the plugin symbol names). They
have been updated.
It is important to remove `LinkMeta` from `SharedCrateContext` since it
contains a hash of the entire crate, and hence it will change
whenever **anything** changes (which would then require
rebuilding **everything**).
Two crates will often instantiate the same generic functions. Since
we don't make any attempt to re-use these instances cross-crate, we
would run into symbol conflicts for anything with external linkage.
In order to avoid this, this commit makes the compiler incorporate
the ID of the instantiating crate into the symbol hash. This way
equal generic instances will have different symbols names when
used in different crates.
The standard implementations of Hasher have architecture-dependent
results when hashing integers. This causes problems when the hashes are
stored within metadata - metadata written by one host architecture can't
be read by another.
To fix that, implement an architecture-independent StableHasher and use
it in all places an architecture-independent hasher is needed.
Fixes#38177.
In another attempt to fix#36793 this commit attempts to head off any future
problems by adding a custom `WidentUsizeHasher` which will widen any hashing of
`isize` and `usize` to a `u64` as necessary. This obviates the need for a
previous number of `as u64` annotations and will hopefully protect us against
future problems here.
Closes#36793 (hopefully)
incr. comp.: Take spans into account for ICH
This PR makes the ICH (incr. comp. hash) take spans into account when debuginfo is enabled.
A side-effect of this is that the SVH (which is based on the ICHs of all items in the crate) becomes sensitive to the tiniest change in a code base if debuginfo is enabled. Since we are not trying to model ABI compatibility via the SVH anymore (this is done via the crate disambiguator now), this should be not be a problem.
Fixes#33888.
Fixes#32753.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1681] which adds support to the
compiler for first-class user-define custom `#[derive]` modes with a far more
stable API than plugins have today.
[RFC 1681]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1681-macros-1.1.md
The main features added by this commit are:
* A new `rustc-macro` crate-type. This crate type represents one which will
provide custom `derive` implementations and perhaps eventually flower into the
implementation of macros 2.0 as well.
* A new `rustc_macro` crate in the standard distribution. This crate will
provide the runtime interface between macro crates and the compiler. The API
here is particularly conservative right now but has quite a bit of room to
expand into any manner of APIs required by macro authors.
* The ability to load new derive modes through the `#[macro_use]` annotations on
other crates.
All support added here is gated behind the `rustc_macro` feature gate, both for
the library support (the `rustc_macro` crate) as well as the language features.
There are a few minor differences from the implementation outlined in the RFC,
such as the `rustc_macro` crate being available as a dylib and all symbols are
`dlsym`'d directly instead of having a shim compiled. These should only affect
the implementation, however, not the public interface.
This commit also ended up touching a lot of code related to `#[derive]`, making
a few notable changes:
* Recognized derive attributes are no longer desugared to `derive_Foo`. Wasn't
sure how to keep this behavior and *not* expose it to custom derive.
* Derive attributes no longer have access to unstable features by default, they
have to opt in on a granular level.
* The `derive(Copy,Clone)` optimization is now done through another "obscure
attribute" which is just intended to ferry along in the compiler that such an
optimization is possible. The `derive(PartialEq,Eq)` optimization was also
updated to do something similar.
---
One part of this PR which needs to be improved before stabilizing are the errors
and exact interfaces here. The error messages are relatively poor quality and
there are surprising spects of this such as `#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, MyTrait)]`
not working by default. The custom attributes added by the compiler end up
becoming unstable again when going through a custom impl.
Hopefully though this is enough to start allowing experimentation on crates.io!
syntax-[breaking-change]
When we hash the inputs to a MetaData node, we have to hash them in a
consistent order. We achieve this by sorting the stringfied `DefPath`
entries. Also, micro-optimie by cache more results across the saving
process.
This change has a few parts. We introduce a new `item_path` module for
constructing item paths. The job of this module is basically to make
nice, user-readable paths -- but these paths are not necessarily 100%
unique. They meant to help a *human* find code, but not necessarily a
compute. These paths are used to drive `item_path_str` but also symbol
names.
Because the paths are not unique, we also modify the symbol name hash to
include the full `DefPath`, whereas before it included only those
aspects of the def-path that were not included in the "informative"
symbol name.
Eventually, I'd like to make the item-path infrastructure a bit more
declarative. Right now it's based purely on strings. In particular, for
impls, we should supply the raw types to the `ItemPathBuffer`, so that
symbol names can be encoded using the C++ encoding scheme for better
integration with tooling.
