This used to be done to avoid inlining impls referencing private items,
but is now unnecessary since we actually check that impls do not
reference non-doc-reachable items.
This changes the current rule that impls within `doc(hidden)` modules
aren't inlined, to only inlining impls where the implemented
trait and type are reachable in documentation.
Add a link validator to rustbuild
This commit was originally targeted at just adding a link checking script to the rustbuild system. This ended up snowballing a bit to extend rustbuild to be amenable to various tools we have as part of the build system in general.
There's a new `src/tools` directory which has a number of scripts/programs that are purely intended to be used as part of the build system and CI of this repository. This is currently inhabited by rustbook, the error index generator, and a new linkchecker script added as part of this PR. I suspect that more tools like compiletest, tidy scripts, snapshot scripts, etc will migrate their way into this directory over time.
The commit which adds the error index generator shows the steps necessary to add new tools to the build system, namely:
1. New steps are defined for building the tool and running the tool
2. The dependencies are configured
3. The steps are implemented
In terms of the link checker, these commits do a few things:
* A new `src/tools/linkchecker` script is added. This will read an entire documentation tree looking for broken relative links (HTTP links aren't followed yet).
* A large number of broken links throughout the documentation were fixed. Many of these were just broken when viewed from core as opposed to std, but were easily fixed.
* A few rustdoc bugs here and there were fixed
Right now whenever rustdoc inlines a struct or enum from another crate it ends
up inlining *all* `impl` items found in the other crate at the same time. The
rationale for this was to discover all trait impls which are otherwise not
probed for. This unfortunately picks up a lot of impls of public traits for
private types, causing lots of broken links.
This commit instead hoards all of those inlined impls into a temporary storage
location which is then selectively drawn from whenever we inline a new type.
This should ensure that we still inline all relevant impls while avoiding all
private ones.
The goal is that the compiler will pass `Result`s around rather than using abort_if_errors. To preserve behaviour we currently abort at the top level. I've removed all other aborts from the driver, but haven't touched any of the nested aborts.
This branch implements a variant of trans that is based on MIR. It is very incomplete (intentionally), and had only the goal of laying out enough work to enable more incremental follow-on patches. Currently, only fns tagged with `#[rustc_mir]` use the new trans code. I plan to build up a meta-issue as well that tracks the various "not-yet-implemented" points. The only fn that has been tested so far is this amazingly complex "spike" fn:
```rust
#[rustc_mir]
fn sum(x: i32, y: i32) -> i32 {
x + y
}
```
In general, the most interesting commit is the last one. There are some points on which I would like feedback from @rust-lang/compiler:
- I did not use `Datum`. Originally, I thought that maybe just a `ValueRef` would be enough but I wound up with two very simple structures, `LvalueRef` and `OperandRef`, that just package up a `ValueRef` and a type. Because of MIR's structure, you don't wind up mixing by-ref and by-value so much, and I tend to think that a thinner abstraction layer is better here, but I'm not sure.
- Related to the above, I expect that sooner or later we will analyze temps (and maybe variables too) to find those whose address is never taken and which are word-sized and which perhaps meet a few other criteria. For those, we'll probably want to avoid the alloca, just because it means prettier code.
- I generally tried to re-use data structures from elsewhere in trans, though I'm sure we can trim these down.
- I didn't do any debuginfo primarily because it seems to want node-ids and we have only spans. I haven't really read into that code so I don't know what's going on there.
r? @nrc
There is a minor [breaking-change] for lint authors - some functions which were previously defined on `lint::Context` have moved to a trait - `LintContext`, you may need to import that trait to avoid name resolution errors.
It now says '#[feature] may not be used on the stable release channel'.
I had to convert this error from a lint to a normal compiler error.
I left the lint previously-used for this in place since removing it is
a breaking change. It will just go unused until the end of time.
Fixes#24125
