We haven't been compressing dylib metadata for a while now. Removing
decompression support will regress error messages about an incompatible
rustc version being used, but dylibs are pretty rare anyway.
Depend on rustc_abi in compiler crates that use it indirectly but have
not yet taken on that dependency, and are not entangled in my other PRs.
This leaves an "excise rustc_target" step after the dust settles.
This involves lots of breaking changes. There are two big changes that
force changes. The first is that the bitflag types now don't
automatically implement normal derive traits, so we need to derive them
manually.
Additionally, bitflags now have a hidden inner type by default, which
breaks our custom derives. The bitflags docs recommend using the impl
form in these cases, which I did.
- Sort dependencies and features sections.
- Add `tidy` markers to the sorted sections so they stay sorted.
- Remove empty `[lib`] sections.
- Remove "See more keys..." comments.
Excluded files:
- rustc_codegen_{cranelift,gcc}, because they're external.
- rustc_lexer, because it has external use.
- stable_mir, because it has external use.
Fluent, with all the icu4x it brings in, takes quite some time to
compile. `fluent_messages!` is only needed in further downstream rustc
crates, but is blocking more upstream crates like `rustc_index`. By
splitting it out, we allow `rustc_macros` to be compiled earlier, which
speeds up `x check compiler` by about 5 seconds (and even more after the
needless dependency on `serde_json` is removed from
`rustc_data_structures`).
To retrieve these flags rustdoc currently has to mass decode full attributes for items in the whole crate tree, so it's better to pre-compute it in advance.
This is especially for short-term performance of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/107054 because resolver cannot use memoization of query results yet.
Migrate in-tree crates to 2021
This replaces #89075 (cherry picking some of the commits from there), and closes#88637 and fixes#89074.
It excludes a migration of the library crates for now (see tidy diff) because we have some pending bugs around macro spans to fix there.
I instrumented bootstrap during the migration to make sure all crates moved from 2018 to 2021 had the compatibility warnings applied first.
Originally, the intent was to support cargo fix --edition within bootstrap, but this proved fairly difficult to pull off. We'd need to architect the check functionality to support running cargo check and cargo fix within the same x.py invocation, and only resetting sysroots on check. Further, it was found that cargo fix doesn't behave too well with "not quite workspaces", such as Clippy which has several crates. Bootstrap runs with --manifest-path ... for all the tools, and this makes cargo fix only attempt migration for that crate. We can't use e.g. --workspace due to needing to maintain sysroots for different phases of compilation appropriately.
It is recommended to skip the mass migration of Cargo.toml's to 2021 for review purposes; you can also use `git diff d6cd2c6c87 -I'^edition = .20...$'` to ignore the edition = 2018/21 lines in the diff.
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.
