Misc improvements to non local defs lint implementation
This PR is a collection of small improvements I found when I [needlessly tried](https://www.github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120393#issuecomment-1971787475) to fix a "perf-regression" in the lint implementation.
I recommend looking at each commit individually.
Optimize `Symbol::integer` by utilizing in-place formatting
This PR optimize `Symbol::integer` by utilizing `itoa` in-place formatting instead of going through a dynamically allocated `String` and the format machinery.
<details>
For some context: I was profiling `rustc --check-cfg` with callgrind and due to the way we currently setup all the targets and we end-up calling `Symbol::integer` multiple times for all the targets. Using `itoa` reduced the number of instructions.

Introduces the `arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc` target for building Arm64EC ("Emulation Compatible") binaries for Windows.
For more information about Arm64EC see <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64ec>.
Tier 3 policy:
> A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
I will be the maintainer for this target.
> Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
Target uses the `arm64ec` architecture to match LLVM and MSVC, and the `-pc-windows-msvc` suffix to indicate that it targets Windows via the MSVC environment.
> Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
Target name exactly specifies the type of code that will be produced.
> If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name. Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo.
Done.
> Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for Rust developers or users.
> The target must not introduce license incompatibilities.
Uses the same dependencies, requirements and licensing as the other `*-pc-windows-msvc` targets.
> Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust license (MIT OR Apache-2.0).
Understood.
> The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding new license exceptions (as specified by the tidy tool in the rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be subject to any new license requirements.
> Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries. Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require such libraries at all. For instance, rustc built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3.
> "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" legal/licensing terms include but are not limited to: non-disclosure requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its developers or users.
Uses the same dependencies, requirements and licensing as the other `*-pc-windows-msvc` targets.
> Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise participate in discussions.
> This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
Understood, I am not a member of the Rust team.
> Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
Both `core` and `alloc` are supported.
Support for `std` dependends on making changes to the standard library, `stdarch` and `backtrace` which cannot be done yet as the bootstrapping compiler raises a warning ("unexpected `cfg` condition value") for `target_arch = "arm64ec"`.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
Documentation is provided in src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc.md
> Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via @) to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
> Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested such notifications.
> Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target.
> In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets, such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target.
Understood.
Leverage `anstyle-svg`, as `cargo` does now, to emit `.svg` files
instead of `.stderr` files for tests that explicitly enable color
output. This will make reviewing changes to the graphical output of
tests much more human friendly.
Introduce `run-make` V2 infrastructure, a `run_make_support` library and port over 2 tests as example
## Preface
See [issue #40713: Switch run-make tests from Makefiles to rust](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/40713) for more context.
## Basic Description of `run-make` V2
`run-make` V2 aims to eliminate the dependency on `make` and `Makefile`s for building `run-make`-style tests. Makefiles are replaced by *recipes* (`rmake.rs`). The current implementation runs `run-make` V2 tests in 3 steps:
1. We build the support library `run_make_support` which the `rmake.rs` recipes depend on as a tool lib.
2. We build the recipe `rmake.rs` and link in the support library.
3. We run the recipe to build and run the tests.
`rmake.rs` is basically a replacement for `Makefile`, and allows running arbitrary Rust code. The support library is built using cargo, and so can depend on external crates if desired.
The infrastructure implemented by this PR is very barebones, and is the minimally required infrastructure needed to build, run and pass the two example `run-make` tests ported over to the new infrastructure.
### Example `run-make` V2 test
```rs
// ignore-tidy-linelength
extern crate run_make_support;
use std::path::PathBuf;
use run_make_support::{aux_build, rustc};
fn main() {
aux_build()
.arg("--emit=metadata")
.arg("stable.rs")
.run();
let mut stable_path = PathBuf::from(env!("TMPDIR"));
stable_path.push("libstable.rmeta");
let output = rustc()
.arg("--emit=metadata")
.arg("--extern")
.arg(&format!("stable={}", &stable_path.to_string_lossy()))
.arg("main.rs")
.run();
let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
let version = include_str!(concat!(env!("S"), "/src/version"));
let expected_string = format!("stable since {}", version.trim());
assert!(stderr.contains(&expected_string));
}
```

rustc: Fix wasm64 metadata object files
It looks like LLD will detect object files being either 32 or 64-bit depending on any memory present. LLD will additionally reject 32-bit objects during a 64-bit link. Previously metadata objects did not have any memories in them which led LLD to conclude they were 32-bit objects which broke 64-bit targets for wasm.
This commit fixes this by ensuring that for 64-bit targets there's a memory object present to get LLD to detect it's a 64-bit target. Additionally this commit moves away from a hand-crafted wasm encoder to the `wasm-encoder` crate on crates.io as the complexity grows for the generated object file.

Unify dylib loading between proc macros and codegen backends
As bonus this makes the errors when failing to load a proc macro more informative to match the backend loading errors. In addition it makes it slightly easier to patch rustc to work on platforms that don't support dynamic linking like wasm.

The goal of this commit is to remove warnings using LLVM tip-of-tree
`wasm-ld`. In llvm/llvm-project#78658 the `wasm-ld` LLD driver no longer
looks at archive indices and instead looks at all the objects in
archives. Previously `lib.rmeta` files were simply raw rustc metadata
bytes, not wasm objects, meaning that `wasm-ld` would emit a warning
indicating so.
WebAssembly targets previously passed `--fatal-warnings` to `wasm-ld` by
default which meant that if Rust were to update to LLVM 18 then all wasm
targets would not work. This immediate blocker was resolved in
rust-lang/rust#120278 which removed `--fatal-warnings` which enabled a
theoretical update to LLVM 18 for wasm targets. This current state is
ok-enough for now because rustc squashes all linker output by default if
it doesn't fail. This means, for example, that rustc squashes all the
linker warnings coming out of `wasm-ld` about `lib.rmeta` files with
LLVM 18. This again isn't a pressing issue because the information is
all hidden, but it runs the risk of being annoying if another linker
error were to happen and then the output would have all these unrelated
warnings that couldn't be fixed.
Thus, this PR comes into the picture. The goal of this PR is to resolve
these warnings by using the WebAssembly object file format on wasm
targets instead of using raw rustc metadata. When I first implemented
the rlib-in-objects scheme in #84449 I remember either concluding that
`wasm-ld` would either include the metadata in the output or I thought
we didn't have to do anything there at all. I think I was wrong on both
counts as `wasm-ld` does not include the metadata in the final output
unless the object is referenced and we do actually need to do something
to resolve these warnings.
This PR updates the object file format containing rustc metadata on
WebAssembly targets to be an actual WebAssembly file. This enables the
`wasm` feature of the `object` crate to be able to read the custom
section in the same manner as other platforms, but currently `object`
doesn't support writing wasm object files so a handwritten encoder is
used instead.
The only caveat I know of with this is that if `wasm-ld` does indeed
look at the object file then the metadata will be included in the final
output. I believe the only thing that could cause that at this time is
`--whole-archive` which I don't think is passed for rlibs. I would
clarify that I'm not 100% certain about this, however.

miropt-test-tools: remove regex usage
this removes regex usage and slightly refactors ext stripping in one case
Update mdbook to 0.4.37
This updates mdbook to 0.4.37.
Changelog: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#mdbook-0437
The primary change is the update to pulldown-cmark which has a large number of markdown parsing changes. There shouldn't be any significant changes to the rendering of any of the books (I have posted some PRs to fix some minor issues to the ones that were affected).
The existing regex-based HTML parsing was just too primitive to
correctly handle HTML content. Some books have legitimate `href="…"`
text which should not be validated because it is part of the text, not
actual HTML.
Actually abort in -Zpanic-abort-tests
When a test fails in panic=abort, it can be useful to have a debugger or other tooling hook into the `abort()` call for debugging. Doing this some other way would require it to hard code details of Rust's panic machinery.
There's no reason we couldn't have done this in the first place; using a single exit code for "success" or "failed" was just simpler. Now we are aware of the special exit codes for posix and windows platforms, logging a special error if an unrecognized code is used on those platforms, and falling back to just "failure" on other platforms.
This continues to account for `#[should_panic]` inside the test process itself, so there's no risk of misinterpreting a random call to `abort()` as an expected panic. Any exit code besides `TR_OK` is logged as a test failure.
As an added benefit, this would allow us to support panic=immediate_abort (but not `#[should_panic]`), without noise about unexpected exit codes when a test fails.
Fixes footnote handling in rustdoc

r? `@notriddle`
Error codes are integers, but `String` is used everywhere to represent
them. Gross!
This commit introduces `ErrCode`, an integral newtype for error codes,
replacing `String`. It also introduces a constant for every error code,
e.g. `E0123`, and removes the `error_code!` macro. The constants are
imported wherever used with `use rustc_errors::codes::*`.
With the old code, we have three different ways to specify an error code
at a use point:
```
error_code!(E0123) // macro call
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // bare ident arg to macro call
\#[diag(name, code = "E0123")] // string
struct Diag;
```
With the new code, they all use the `E0123` constant.
```
E0123 // constant
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // constant
\#[diag(name, code = E0123)] // constant
struct Diag;
```
The commit also changes the structure of the error code definitions:
- `rustc_error_codes` now just defines a higher-order macro listing the
used error codes and nothing else.
- Because that's now the only thing in the `rustc_error_codes` crate, I
moved it into the `lib.rs` file and removed the `error_codes.rs` file.
- `rustc_errors` uses that macro to define everything, e.g. the error
code constants and the `DIAGNOSTIC_TABLES`. This is in its new
`codes.rs` file.
Avoid code generation for ThinVec<Diagnostic>'s destructor in the query system
This avoids 2 instances of the destructor of `ThinVec<Diagnostic>` from being included in `execute_job`. It also outlines the cold branch in `store_side_effects` / `store_side_effects_for_anon_node`.
pat_analysis: Don't rely on contiguous `VariantId`s outside of rustc
Today's pattern_analysis uses `BitSet` and `IndexVec` on the provided enum variant ids, which only makes sense if these ids count the variants from 0. In rust-analyzer, the variant ids are global interning ids, which would make `BitSet` and `IndexVec` ridiculously wasteful. In this PR I add some shims to use `FxHashSet`/`FxHashMap` instead outside of rustc.

Use `zip_eq` to enforce that things being zipped have equal sizes

Exhaustiveness: remove the need for arena-allocation within the algorithm
After https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119688, exhaustiveness checking doesn't need access to the arena anymore. This simplifies the lifetime story and makes it compile on stable without the extra dependency.

next solver: provisional cache
this adds the cache removed in #115843. However, it should now correctly track whether a provisional result depends on an inductive or coinductive stack.
While working on this, I was using the following doc: https://hackmd.io/VsQPjW3wSTGUSlmgwrDKOA. I don't think it's too helpful to understanding this, but am somewhat hopeful that the inline comments are more useful.
There are quite a few future perf improvements here. Given that this is already very involved I don't believe it is worth it (for now). While working on this PR one of my few attempts to significantly improve perf ended up being unsound again because I was not careful enough ✨

annotate-snippets: update to 0.10
Ports `annotate-snippets` to 0.10, temporary dupes versions; other crates left that depends on 0.9 is `ui_test` and `rustfmt`.
The standard library's std::sync::mpsc basically is a crossbeam channel,
and for the use case here will definitely suffice. This drops this
dependency from librustc_driver.
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.
Make exhaustiveness usable outside of rustc
With this PR, `rustc_pattern_analysis` compiles on stable (with the `stable` feature)! `rust-analyzer` will be able to use it to provide match-related diagnostics and refactors.
Two questions:
- Should I name the feature `nightly` instead of `rustc` for consistency with other crates? `rustc` makes more sense imo.
- `typed-arena` is an optional dependency but tidy made me add it to the allow-list anyway. Can I avoid that somehow?

Use `unwinding` crate for unwinding on Xous platform
This patch adds support for using [unwinding](https://github.com/nbdd0121/unwinding) on platforms where libunwinding isn't viable. An example of such a platform is `riscv32imac-unknown-xous-elf`.
### Background
The Rust project maintains a fork of llvm at [llvm-project](https://github.com/rust-lang/llvm-project/) where it applies patches on top of the llvm project. This mostly seems to be to get unwinding support for the SGX project, and there may be other patches that I'm unaware of.
There is a lot of machinery in the build system to support compiling `libunwind` on other platforms, and I needed to add additional patches to llvm in order to add support for Xous.
Rather than continuing down this path, it seemed much easier to use a Rust-based library. The `unwinding` crate by `@nbdd0121` fits this description perfectly.
### Future work
This could potentially replace the custom patches for `libunwind` on other platforms such as SGX, and could enable unwinding support on many more exotic platforms.
### Anti-goals
This is not designed to replace `libunwind` on tier-one platforms or those where unwinding support already exists. There is already a well-established approach for unwinding there. Instead, this aims to enable unwinding on new platforms where C++ code may be difficult to compile.

Call FileEncoder::finish in rmeta encoding
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/117254
The bug here was that rmeta encoding never called FileEncoder::finish. Now it does. Most of the changes here are needed to support that, since rmeta encoding wants to finish _then_ access the File in the encoder, so finish can't move out.
I tried adding a `cfg(debug_assertions)` exploding Drop impl to FileEncoder that checked for finish being called before dropping, but fatal errors cause unwinding so this isn't really possible. If we encounter a fatal error with a dirty FileEncoder, the Drop impl ICEs even though the implementation is correct. If we try to paper over that by wrapping FileEncoder in ManuallyDrop then that just erases the fact that Drop automatically checks that we call finish on all paths.
I also changed the name of DepGraph::encode to DepGraph::finish_encoding, because that's what it does and it makes the fact that it is the path to FileEncoder::finish less confusing.

Update windows-bindgen and define `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` ourselves
We generate bindings to the Windows API via the `windows-bindgen` crate, which is ultimately what's also used to generate the `windows-sys` and `windows` crates. However, there currently is some custom sauce just for std which makes it a bit different from the vanilla bindings. I would love for us to reduce and eventually remove the differences entirely so that std is using the exact same bindings as everyone else. Maybe in the future we can even just have a normal dependency on `windows-sys`.
This PR removes one of those special things. Our definition of `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` relies on an experimental nightly feature for strict provenance, so lets bring that back in house. It also excludes it from the codegen step though that isn't strictly necessary as we override it in any case.
This PR also updates windows-bingen to 0.52.0.
By default, `newtype_index!` types get a default `Encodable`/`Decodable`
impl. You can opt out of this with `custom_encodable`. Opting out is the
opposite to how Rust normally works with autogenerated (derived) impls.
This commit inverts the behaviour, replacing `custom_encodable` with
`encodable` which opts into the default `Encodable`/`Decodable` impl.
Only 23 of the 59 `newtype_index!` occurrences need `encodable`.
Even better, there were eight crates with a dependency on
`rustc_serialize` just from unused default `Encodable`/`Decodable`
impls. This commit removes that dependency from those eight crates.
Add arm64e-apple-ios & arm64e-apple-darwin targets
This introduces
* `arm64e-apple-ios`
* `arm64e-apple-darwin`
Rust targets for support `arm64e` architecture on `iOS` and `Darwin`.
So, this is a first approach for integrating to the Rust compiler.
## Tier 3 Target Policy
> * A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target
maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target.
(The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
I will be the target maintainer.
> * Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a
target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same
name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and
naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust
(such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to
diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially
once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important
even for a tier 3 target.
Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless
absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if
the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect
beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to
disambiguate it.
If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name.
Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo.
The target names `arm64e-apple-ios`, `arm64e-apple-darwin` were derived from `aarch64-apple-ios`, `aarch64-apple-darwin`.
In this [ticket,](#73628) people discussed the best suitable names for these targets.
> In some cases, the arm64e arch might be "different". For example:
> * `thread_set_state` might fail with (os/kern) protection failure if we try to call it from arm64 process to arm64e process.

So, I have chosen them because there are similar triplets in LLVM. I think there are no more suitable names for these targets.
> * Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not
create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for
Rust developers or users.
The target must not introduce license incompatibilities.
Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust
license (MIT OR Apache-2.0).
The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other
host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend
on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This
applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding
new license exceptions (as specified by the tidy tool in the
rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library
or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a
user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be
subject to any new license requirements.
Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other
code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling
from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries.
Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime
libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications
built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code
generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require
such libraries at all. For instance, rustc built for the target may
depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library,
but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code
optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the
Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the
scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3.
"onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous"
legal/licensing terms include but are not limited to: non-disclosure
requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements
(CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms,
requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular
Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability
for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that
adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its
developers or users.
No dependencies were added to Rust.
> * Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any
binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving
Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or
employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their
decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval
decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise
participate in discussions.
> * This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being
cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or
maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a
developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not
face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely
exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves
subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
Understood.
I am not a member of a Rust team.
> * Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries
as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets
that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an
operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but
may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as
appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or
challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to
avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3
target not implementing those portions.
Understood.
`std` is supported.
> * The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how
to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target
supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the
documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target,
using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
Building is described in the derived target doc.
> * Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or
other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular,
do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a
block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or
notifications (via any medium, including via `@)` to a PR author or others
involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into
such messages.
> * Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to
an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within
reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not
generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested
such notifications.
Understood.
> * Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2
or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without
approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3
target.
> * In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets,
such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid
introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the
target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as
appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target.
These targets are not fully ABI compatible with arm64e code.
#73628
Begin to abstract `rustc_type_ir` for rust-analyzer
This adds the "nightly" feature which is used by the compiler, and falls back to more simple implementations when that is not active.
