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.
Currently the compiler supports the ability to emit multiple output types as
part of one compilation (e.g. asm, LLVM IR, bytecode, link, dep-info, etc). It
does not, however, support the ability to customize the output filename for each
of these output types. The `-o` flag is ignored if multiple emit types are
specified (and the compiler emits a warning about this).
Normally this doesn't matter too much, but in the case of `dep-info` it can lead
to a number of problems (e.g. see #28716). By allowing customization of the
output filename for each emit type we're able to solve the problems in that
issue.
This commit adds support for the `--emit` option to the compiler to look like:
rustc foo.rs --emit dep-info=.deps/foo.d,link
This indicates that the `dep-info` output type will be placed at `.deps/foo.d`
and the `link` output type will otherwise be determined via the `--out-dir` and
`-o` flags.
Closes#28716
This commit deprecates the majority of std::old_io::fs in favor of std::fs and
its new functionality. Some functions remain non-deprecated but are now behind a
feature gate called `old_fs`. These functions will be deprecated once
suitable replacements have been implemented.
The compiler has been migrated to new `std::fs` and `std::path` APIs where
appropriate as part of this change.
This pulls out the implementations of most built-in lints into a
separate crate, to reduce edit-compile-test iteration times with
librustc_lint and increase parallelism. This should enable lints to be
refactored, added and deleted much more easily as it slashes the
edit-compile cycle to get a minimal working compiler to test with (`make
rustc-stage1`) from
librustc -> librustc_typeck -> ... -> librustc_driver ->
libcore -> ... -> libstd
to
librustc_lint -> librustc_driver -> libcore -> ... libstd
which is significantly faster, mainly due to avoiding the librustc build
itself.
The intention would be to move as much as possible of the infrastructure
into the crate too, but the plumbing is deeply intertwined with librustc
itself at the moment. Also, there are lints for which diagnostics are
registered directly in the compiler code, not in their own crate
traversal, and their definitions have to remain in librustc.
This is a [breaking-change] for direct users of the compiler APIs:
callers of `rustc::session::build_session` or
`rustc::session::build_session_` need to manually call
`rustc_lint::register_builtins` on their return value.
This should make #22206 easier.
