I also added `// skip-codegen` to each one, to address potential concerns
that this change would otherwise slow down our test suite spending time
generating code for files that are really just meant to be checks of
compiler diagnostics.
(However, I will say: My preference is to not use `// skip-codegen` if
one can avoid it. We can use all the testing of how we drive LLVM that
we can get...)
(Updated post rebase.)
This test specifically notes that it does not want to invoke the
linker, due to the way it (IMO weakly) exercises the `#[link=...]`
attribute.
In any case, removing the the `#[rustc_error]` here uncovered an
"invalid windows subsystem" error that was previously not included in
the transcript of diagnostic output. So that's a step forward, (right?).
This commit updates the compiler to allow the `#[no_mangle]` (and
`#[export_name]` attributes) to be located anywhere within a crate.
These attributes are unconditionally processed, causing the compiler to
always generate an exported symbol with the appropriate name.
After some discussion on #54135 it was found that not a great reason
this hasn't been allowed already, and it seems to match the behavior
that many expect! Previously the compiler would only export a
`#[no_mangle]` symbol if it were *publicly reachable*, meaning that it
itself is `pub` and it's otherwise publicly reachable from the root of
the crate. This new definition is that `#[no_mangle]` *is always
reachable*, no matter where it is in a crate or whether it has `pub` or
not.
This should make it much easier to declare an exported symbol with a
known and unique name, even when it's an internal implementation detail
of the crate itself. Note that these symbols will persist beyond LTO as
well, always making their way to the linker.
Along the way this commit removes the `private_no_mangle_functions` lint
(also for statics) as there's no longer any need to lint these
situations. Furthermore a good number of tests were updated now that
symbol visibility has been changed.
Closes#54135
The unstable-feature attribute requires an issue (neglecting it is
E0547), which gets used in the error messages. Unfortunately, there are
some cases where "0" is apparently used a placeholder where no issue
exists, directing the user to see the (nonexistent) issue #0. (It would
have been better to either let `issue` be optional—compare to how issue
is an `Option<u32>` in the feature-gate declarations in
libsyntax/feature-gate.rs—or actually require that an issue be created.)
Rather than endeavoring to change how `#[unstable]` works at this time
(given competing contributor and reviewer priorities), this simple patch
proposes the less-ambitious solution of just not adding the "(see
issue)" note when the number is zero.
Resolves#49983.
The `#[simd]` attribute has been deprecated since c8b6d5b23cc8b2d43ece9f06252c7e98280fb8e5 back in 2015. Any nightly crates using it have had ample time to switch to `#[repr(simd)]`, and if they didn't they're likely broken by now anyway.
