When performing LTO, the rust compiler has an opportunity to completely strip
all landing pads in all dependent libraries. I've modified the LTO pass to
recognize the -Z no-landing-pads option when also running an LTO pass to flag
everything in LLVM as nothrow. I've verified that this prevents any and all
invoke instructions from being emitted.
I believe that this is one of our best options for moving forward with
accomodating use-cases where unwinding doesn't really make sense. This will
allow libraries to be built with landing pads by default but allow usage of them
in contexts where landing pads aren't necessary.

cc #10780
This commit changes drop glue generated for structs to use the invoke LLVM
instruction instead of call. What this means is that if the user destructor
triggers an unwinding, then the fields of the struct will still ge dropped.
This is not an attempt to support failing while failing, as that's mostly a
problem of runtime support. This is more of an issue of soundness in making sure
that destructors are appropriately run. The test included fails before this
commit, and only has one call to fail!(), yet it doesn't destroy its struct
fields.
This is the culmination and attempted resolution of #8215. The commits have many more details about implementation details and the consequences of this refinement.
I'll point out specific locations which may be possible causes for alarm. In general, I have been very happy with how things have turned out. I'm a little sad that I couldn't remove privacy from resolve as much as I did, but I blame glob imports (although in theory even some of this can be mitigated as well).
This commit fixes all of the fallout of the previous commit which is an attempt
to refine privacy. There were a few unfortunate leaks which now must be plugged,
and the most horrible one is the current `shouldnt_be_public` module now inside
`std::rt`. I think that this either needs a slight reorganization of the
runtime, or otherwise it needs to just wait for the external users of these
modules to get replaced with their `rt` implementations.
Other fixes involve making things pub which should be pub, and otherwise
updating error messages that now reference privacy instead of referencing an
"unresolved name" (yay!).
Use &mut Block and &Block references where possible in the builder
functions in trans::build.
@mut Block remains in a few functions where I could not (not yet at
least) track down the runtime borrowck failures.
Storing the type name in the `tydesc` aims to avoid the need to pass a type name in almost every single visitor method.
It would likely be much saner for `repr` to simply be passed the `TyDesc` corresponding to the function or just the type name, but this is good enough for now.
.with_c_str() is a replacement for the old .as_c_str(), to avoid
unnecessary boilerplate.
Replace all usages of .to_c_str().with_ref() with .with_c_str().
what amount a T* pointer must be adjusted to reach the contents
of the box. For `~T` types, this requires knowing the type `T`,
which is not known in the case of objects.
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
This is a cleanup pull request that does:
* removes `os::as_c_charp`
* moves `str::as_buf` and `str::as_c_str` into `StrSlice`
* converts some functions from `StrSlice::as_buf` to `StrSlice::as_c_str`
* renames `StrSlice::as_buf` to `StrSlice::as_imm_buf` (and adds `StrSlice::as_mut_buf` to match `vec.rs`.
* renames `UniqueStr::as_bytes_with_null_consume` to `UniqueStr::to_bytes`
* and other misc cleanups and minor optimizations
