These are static libraries that are not bundled (as the name implies) into rlibs and staticlibs that rustc generates,
and must be present when the final binary artifact is being linked.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1721] which adds a new target feature
to the compiler, `crt-static`, which can be used to select how the C runtime for
a target is linked. Most targets dynamically linke the C runtime by default with
the notable exception of some of the musl targets.
[RFC 1721]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1721-crt-static.md
This commit first adds the new target-feature, `crt-static`. If enabled, then
the `cfg(target_feature = "crt-static")` will be available. Targets like musl
will have this enabled by default. This feature can be controlled through the
standard target-feature interface, `-C target-feature=+crt-static` or
`-C target-feature=-crt-static`.
Next this adds an gated and unstable `#[link(cfg(..))]` feature to enable the
`crt-static` semantics we want with libc. The exact behavior of this attribute
is a little squishy, but it's intended to be a forever-unstable
implementation detail of the liblibc crate.
Specifically the `#[link(cfg(..))]` annotation means that the `#[link]`
directive is only active in a compilation unit if that `cfg` value is satisfied.
For example when compiling an rlib, these directives are just encoded and
ignored for dylibs, and all staticlibs are continued to be put into the rlib as
usual. When placing that rlib into a staticlib, executable, or dylib, however,
the `cfg` is evaluated *as if it were defined in the final artifact* and the
library is decided to be linked or not.
Essentially, what'll happen is:
* On MSVC with `-C target-feature=-crt-static`, the `msvcrt.lib` library will be
linked to.
* On MSVC with `-C target-feature=+crt-static`, the `libcmt.lib` library will be
linked to.
* On musl with `-C target-feature=-crt-static`, the object files in liblibc.rlib
are removed and `-lc` is passed instead.
* On musl with `-C target-feature=+crt-static`, the object files in liblibc.rlib
are used and `-lc` is not passed.
This commit does **not** include an update to the liblibc module to implement
these changes. I plan to do that just after the 1.14.0 beta release is cut to
ensure we get ample time to test this feature.

Now a target can define its panic strategy in its specification. If a
user doesn't specify a panic strategy via the command line, i.e. '-C
panic', then the compiler will use the panic strategy defined by the
target specification.
Custom targets can pick their panic strategy via the "panic-strategy"
field of their target specification JSON file. If omitted in the
specification, the strategy defaults to "unwind".

libcompiler-rt.a is dead, long live libcompiler-builtins.rlib
This commit moves the logic that used to build libcompiler-rt.a into a
compiler-builtins crate on top of the core crate and below the std crate.
This new crate still compiles the compiler-rt instrinsics using gcc-rs
but produces an .rlib instead of a static library.
Also, with this commit rustc no longer passes -lcompiler-rt to the
linker. This effectively makes the "no-compiler-rt" field of target
specifications a no-op. Users of `no_std` will have to explicitly add
the compiler-builtins crate to their crate dependency graph *if* they
need the compiler-rt intrinsics. Users of the `std` have to do nothing
extra as the std crate depends on compiler-builtins.
Finally, this a step towards lazy compilation of std with Cargo as the
compiler-rt intrinsics can now be built by Cargo instead of having to
be supplied by the user by some other method.

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!

previously, only .so files included a metadata encoding version, *outside*
of the zlib compressed area. This adds an encoding version inside the metadata
itself, in both .so and .rlib files.
Fixes#33778.
For external crates, we must build up a map that goes from
the DefKey to the DefIndex. We do this by iterating over each
index that is found in the metadata and loading the associated
DefKey.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1513] which allows applications to
alter the behavior of panics at compile time. A new compiler flag, `-C panic`,
is added and accepts the values `unwind` or `panic`, with the default being
`unwind`. This model affects how code is generated for the local crate, skipping
generation of landing pads with `-C panic=abort`.
[RFC 1513]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1513-less-unwinding.md
Panic implementations are then provided by crates tagged with
`#![panic_runtime]` and lazily required by crates with
`#![needs_panic_runtime]`. The panic strategy (`-C panic` value) of the panic
runtime must match the final product, and if the panic strategy is not `abort`
then the entire DAG must have the same panic strategy.
With the `-C panic=abort` strategy, users can expect a stable method to disable
generation of landing pads, improving optimization in niche scenarios,
decreasing compile time, and decreasing output binary size. With the `-C
panic=unwind` strategy users can expect the existing ability to isolate failure
in Rust code from the outside world.
Organizationally, this commit dismantles the `sys_common::unwind` module in
favor of some bits moving part of it to `libpanic_unwind` and the rest into the
`panicking` module in libstd. The custom panic runtime support is pretty similar
to the custom allocator support with the only major difference being how the
panic runtime is injected (takes the `-C panic` flag into account).
We used to track, for each crate, a path that led to the extern-crate
that imported it. Instead of that, track the def-id of the extern crate,
along with a bit more information, and derive the path on the fly.
We want to prevent compiling something against one version
of a dynamic library and then, at runtime accidentally
using a different version of the dynamic library. With the
old symbol-naming scheme this could not happen because every
symbol had the SVH in it and you'd get an error by the
dynamic linker when using the wrong version of a dylib. With
the new naming scheme this isn't the case any more, so this
patch adds the "link-guard" to prevent this error case.
This is implemented as follows:
- In every crate that we compile, we emit a function called
"__rustc_link_guard_<crate-name>_<crate-svh>"
- The body of this function contains calls to the
"__rustc_link_guard" functions of all dependencies.
- An executable contains a call to it's own
"__rustc_link_guard" function.
As a consequence the "__rustc_link_guard" function call graph
mirrors the crate graph and the dynamic linker will fail if a
wrong dylib is loaded somewhere because its
"__rustc_link_guard" function will contain a different SVH in
its name.
