Lazy type-alias-impl-trait take two
### user visible change 1: RPIT inference from recursive call sites
Lazy TAIT has an insta-stable change. The following snippet now compiles, because opaque types can now have their hidden type set from wherever the opaque type is mentioned.
```rust
fn bar(b: bool) -> impl std::fmt::Debug {
if b {
return 42
}
let x: u32 = bar(false); // this errors on stable
99
}
```
The return type of `bar` stays opaque, you can't do `bar(false) + 42`, you need to actually mention the hidden type.
### user visible change 2: divergence between RPIT and TAIT in return statements
Note that `return` statements and the trailing return expression are special with RPIT (but not TAIT). So
```rust
#![feature(type_alias_impl_trait)]
type Foo = impl std::fmt::Debug;
fn foo(b: bool) -> Foo {
if b {
return vec![42];
}
std::iter::empty().collect() //~ ERROR `Foo` cannot be built from an iterator
}
fn bar(b: bool) -> impl std::fmt::Debug {
if b {
return vec![42]
}
std::iter::empty().collect() // Works, magic (accidentally stabilized, not intended)
}
```
But when we are working with the return value of a recursive call, the behavior of RPIT and TAIT is the same:
```rust
type Foo = impl std::fmt::Debug;
fn foo(b: bool) -> Foo {
if b {
return vec![];
}
let mut x = foo(false);
x = std::iter::empty().collect(); //~ ERROR `Foo` cannot be built from an iterator
vec![]
}
fn bar(b: bool) -> impl std::fmt::Debug {
if b {
return vec![];
}
let mut x = bar(false);
x = std::iter::empty().collect(); //~ ERROR `impl Debug` cannot be built from an iterator
vec![]
}
```
### user visible change 3: TAIT does not merge types across branches
In contrast to RPIT, TAIT does not merge types across branches, so the following does not compile.
```rust
type Foo = impl std::fmt::Debug;
fn foo(b: bool) -> Foo {
if b {
vec![42_i32]
} else {
std::iter::empty().collect()
//~^ ERROR `Foo` cannot be built from an iterator over elements of type `_`
}
}
```
It is easy to support, but we should make an explicit decision to include the additional complexity in the implementation (it's not much, see a721052457cf513487fb4266e3ade65c29b272d2 which needs to be reverted to enable this).
### PR formalities
previous attempt: #92007
This PR also includes #92306 and #93783, as they were reverted along with #92007 in #93893fixes#93411fixes#88236fixes#89312fixes#87340fixes#86800fixes#86719fixes#84073fixes#83919fixes#82139fixes#77987fixes#74282fixes#67830fixes#62742fixes#54895
This patch series examines the question: how bad would it be if we adopted
an extremely strict pointer provenance model that completely banished all
int<->ptr casts.
The key insight to making this approach even *vaguely* pallatable is the
ptr.with_addr(addr) -> ptr
function, which takes a pointer and an address and creates a new pointer
with that address and the provenance of the input pointer. In this way
the "chain of custody" is completely and dynamically restored, making the
model suitable even for dynamic checkers like CHERI and Miri.
This is not a formal model, but lots of the docs discussing the model
have been updated to try to the *concept* of this design in the hopes
that it can be iterated on.
Currently, matches within a sequence are recorded in a new empty
`matches` vector. Then when the sequence finishes the matches are merged
into the `matches` vector of the parent.
This commit changes things so that a sequence mp inherits the matches
made so far. This means that additional matches from the sequence don't
need to be merged into the parent. `push_match` becomes more
complicated, and the current sequence depth needs to be tracked. But
it's a sizeable performance win because it avoids one or more
`push_match` calls on every iteration of a sequence.
The commit also removes `match_hi`, which is no longer necessary.
Suggest wrapping patterns in enum variants
Structured suggestion to wrap a pattern in a single-field enum or struct:
```diff
struct A;
enum B {
A(A),
}
fn main(b: B) {
match b {
- A => {}
+ B::A(A) => {}
}
}
```
Half of #94942, the other half I'm not exactly sure how to fix.
Also includes two drive-by changes (that I am open to splitting out into another PR, but thought they could be rolled up into this one):
- 07776c111f: Makes sure not to suggest wrapping if it doesn't have tuple field constructor (i.e. has named fields)
- 8f2bbb18fd53e5008bb488302dbd354577698ede: Also suggest wrapping expressions in a tuple struct (not just enum variants)
Ensure io::Error's bitpacked repr doesn't accidentally impl UnwindSafe
Sadly, I'm not sure how to easily test that we don't impl a trait, though (or can libstd use `where io::Error: !UnwindSafe` or something).
Fixes#95203
Stabilize Termination and ExitCode
From https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43301
This PR stabilizes the Termination trait and associated ExitCode type. It also adjusts the ExitCode feature flag to replace the placeholder flag with a more permanent name, as well as splitting off the `to_i32` method behind its own permanently unstable feature flag.
This PR stabilizes the termination trait with the following signature:
```rust
pub trait Termination {
fn report(self) -> ExitCode;
}
```
The existing impls of `Termination` are effectively already stable due to the prior stabilization of `?` in main.
This PR also stabilizes the following APIs on exit code
```rust
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug)]
pub struct ExitCode(_);
impl ExitCode {
pub const SUCCESS: ExitCode;
pub const FAILURE: ExitCode;
}
impl From<u8> for ExitCode { /* ... */ }
```
---
All of the previous blockers have been resolved. The main ones that were resolved recently are:
* The trait's name: We decided against changing this since none of the alternatives seemed particularly compelling. Instead we decided to end the bikeshedding and stick with the current name. ([link to the discussion](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/219381-t-libs/topic/Termination.2FExit.20Status.20Stabilization/near/269793887))
* Issues around platform specific representations: We resolved this issue by changing the return type of `report` from `i32` to the opaque type `ExitCode`. That way we can change the underlying representation without affecting the API, letting us offer full support for platform specific exit code APIs in the future.
* Custom exit codes: We resolved this by adding `From<u8> for ExitCode`. We choose to only support u8 initially because it is the least common denominator between the sets of exit codes supported by our current platforms. In the future we anticipate adding platform specific extension traits to ExitCode for constructors from larger or negative numbers, as needed.
