Rollup merge of #83092 - petrochenkov:qspan, r=estebank
More precise spans for HIR paths

`Ty::assoc_item` is lowered to `<Ty>::assoc_item` in HIR, but `Ty` got span from the whole path.
This PR fixes that, and adjusts some diagnostic code that relied on `Ty` having the whole path span.

This is a pre-requisite for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/82868 (we cannot report suggestions like `Tr::assoc` -> `<dyn Tr>::assoc` with the current imprecise spans).

2229: Handle patterns within closures correctly when `capture_disjoint_fields` is enabled

This PR fixes several issues related to handling patterns within closures when `capture_disjoint_fields` is enabled.
1. Matching is always considered a use of the place, even with `_` patterns
2. Compiler ICE when capturing fields in closures through `let` assignments

To do so, we

- Introduced new Fake Reads
- Delayed use of `Place` in favor of `PlaceBuilder`
- Ensured that `PlaceBuilder` can be resolved before attempting to extract `Place` in any of the pattern matching code

Add a `min_type_alias_impl_trait` feature gate

This new feature gate only permits type alias impl trait to be constrained by function and trait method return types. All other possible constraining sites like const/static types, closure return types and binding types are now forbidden and gated under the `type_alias_impl_trait` and `impl_trait_in_bindings` feature gates (which are both marked as incomplete, as they have various ways to ICE the compiler or cause query cycles where they shouldn't).

Avoid sorting predicates by `DefId`

Fixes issue #82920

Even if an item does not change between compilation sessions, it may end
up with a different `DefId`, since inserting/deleting an item affects
the `DefId`s of all subsequent items. Therefore, we use a `DefPathHash`
in the incremental compilation system, which is stable in the face of
changes to unrelated items.

In particular, the query system will consider the inputs to a query to
be unchanged if any `DefId`s in the inputs have their `DefPathHash`es
unchanged. Queries are pure functions, so the query result should be
unchanged if the query inputs are unchanged.

Unfortunately, it's possible to inadvertantly make a query result
incorrectly change across compilations, by relying on the specific value
of a `DefId`. Specifically, if the query result is a slice that gets
sorted by `DefId`, the precise order will depend on how the `DefId`s got
assigned in a particular compilation session. If some definitions end up
with different `DefId`s (but the same `DefPathHash`es) in a subsequent
compilation session, we will end up re-computing a *different* value for
the query, even though the query system expects the result to unchanged
due to the unchanged inputs.

It turns out that we have been sorting the predicates computed during
`astconv` by their `DefId`. These predicates make their way into the
`super_predicates_that_define_assoc_type`, which ends up getting used to
compute the vtables of trait objects. This, re-ordering these predicates
between compilation sessions can lead to undefined behavior at runtime -
the query system will re-use code built with a *differently ordered*
vtable, resulting in the wrong method being invoked at runtime.

This PR avoids sorting by `DefId` in `astconv`, fixing the
miscompilation. However, it's possible that other instances of this
issue exist - they could also be easily introduced in the future.

To fully fix this issue, we should
1. Turn on `-Z incremental-verify-ich` by default. This will cause the
   compiler to ICE whenver an 'unchanged' query result changes between
   compilation sessions, instead of causing a miscompilation.
2. Remove the `Ord` impls for `CrateNum` and `DefId`. This will make it
   difficult to introduce ICEs in the first place.

2229: Handle capturing a reference into a repr packed struct

RFC 1240 states that it is unsafe to capture references into a
packed-struct. This PR ensures that when a closure captures a precise
path, we aren't violating this safety constraint.

To acheive so we restrict the capture precision to the struct itself.

An interesting edge case where we decided to restrict precision:
```rust
struct Foo(String);

let foo: Foo;
let c = || {
    println!("{}", foo.0);
    let x = foo.0;
}
```

Given how closures get desugared today, foo.0 will be moved into the
closure, making the `println!`, safe. However this can be very subtle
and also will be unsafe if the closure gets inline.

Allow calling *const methods on *mut values

This allows `*const` methods to be called on `*mut` values.

TODOs:

- [x] ~~Remove debug logs~~ Done.
- [x] ~~I haven't tested, but I think this currently won't work when the `self` value has type like `&&&&& *mut X` because I don't do any autoderefs when probing. To fix this the new code in `rustc_typeck::check::method::probe` needs to reuse `pick_method` somehow as I think that's the function that autoderefs.~~ This works, because autoderefs are done before calling `pick_core`, in `method_autoderef_steps`, called by `probe_op`.
- [x] ~~I should probably move the new `Pick` to `pick_autorefd_method`. If not, I should move it to its own function.~~ Done.
- [ ] ~~Test this with a `Pick` with `to_ptr = true` and `unsize = true`.~~ I think this case cannot happen, because we don't have any array methods with `*mut [X]` receiver. I should confirm that this is true and document this. I've placed two assertions about this.
- [x] ~~Maybe give `(Mutability, bool)` a name and fields~~ I now have a `to_const_ptr` field in `Pick`.
- [x] ~~Changes in `adjust_self_ty` is quite hacky. The problem is we can't deref a pointer, and even if we don't have an adjustment to get the address of a value, so to go from `*mut` to `*const` we need a special case.~~ There's still a special case for `to_const_ptr`, but I'm not sure if we can avoid this.
- [ ] Figure out how `reached_raw_pointer` stuff is used. I suspect only for error messages.

Implement RFC 2945: "C-unwind" ABI

## Implement RFC 2945: "C-unwind" ABI

This branch implements [RFC 2945]. The tracking issue for this RFC is #74990.

The feature gate for the issue is `#![feature(c_unwind)]`.

This RFC was created as part of the ffi-unwind project group tracked at rust-lang/lang-team#19.

### Changes

Further details will be provided in commit messages, but a high-level overview
of the changes follows:

* A boolean `unwind` payload is added to the `C`, `System`, `Stdcall`,
and `Thiscall` variants, marking whether unwinding across FFI boundaries is
acceptable. The cases where each of these variants' `unwind` member is true
correspond with the `C-unwind`, `system-unwind`, `stdcall-unwind`, and
`thiscall-unwind` ABI strings introduced in RFC 2945 [3].

* This commit adds a `c_unwind` feature gate for the new ABI strings.
Tests for this feature gate are included in `src/test/ui/c-unwind/`, which
ensure that this feature gate works correctly for each of the new ABIs.
A new language features entry in the unstable book is added as well.

* We adjust the `rustc_middle::ty::layout::fn_can_unwind` function,
used to compute whether or not a `FnAbi` object represents a function that
should be able to unwind when `panic=unwind` is in use.

* Changes are also made to
`rustc_mir_build::build::should_abort_on_panic` so that the function ABI is
used to determind whether it should abort, assuming that the `panic=unwind`
strategy is being used, and no explicit unwind attribute was provided.

Store HIR attributes in a side table

Same idea as #72015 but for attributes.
The objective is to reduce incr-comp invalidations due to modified attributes.
Notably, those due to modified doc comments.

Implementation:
- collect attributes during AST->HIR lowering, in `LocalDefId -> ItemLocalId -> &[Attributes]` nested tables;
- access the attributes through a `hir_owner_attrs` query;
- local refactorings to use this access;
- remove `attrs` from HIR data structures one-by-one.

Change in behaviour:
- the HIR visitor traverses all attributes at once instead of parent-by-parent;
- attribute arrays are sometimes duplicated: for statements and variant constructors;
- as a consequence, attributes are marked as used after unused-attribute lint emission to avoid duplicate lints.

~~Current bug: the lint level is not correctly applied in `std::backtrace_rs`, triggering an unused attribute warning on `#![no_std]`. I welcome suggestions.~~

df45c579de rustc_target: add "unwind" payloads to Abi
### Overview

    This commit begins the implementation work for RFC 2945. For more
    information, see the rendered RFC [1] and tracking issue [2].

    A boolean `unwind` payload is added to the `C`, `System`, `Stdcall`,
    and `Thiscall` variants, marking whether unwinding across FFI
    boundaries is acceptable. The cases where each of these variants'
    `unwind` member is true correspond with the `C-unwind`,
    `system-unwind`, `stdcall-unwind`, and `thiscall-unwind` ABI strings
    introduced in RFC 2945 [3].

 ### Feature Gate and Unstable Book

    This commit adds a `c_unwind` feature gate for the new ABI strings.
    Tests for this feature gate are included in `src/test/ui/c-unwind/`,
    which ensure that this feature gate works correctly for each of the
    new ABIs.

    A new language features entry in the unstable book is added as well.

 ### Further Work To Be Done

    This commit does not proceed to implement the new unwinding ABIs,
    and is intentionally scoped specifically to *defining* the ABIs and
    their feature flag.

 ### One Note on Test Churn

    This will lead to some test churn, in re-blessing hash tests, as the
    deleted comment in `src/librustc_target/spec/abi.rs` mentioned,
    because we can no longer guarantee the ordering of the `Abi`
    variants.

    While this is a downside, this decision was made bearing in mind
    that RFC 2945 states the following, in the "Other `unwind` Strings"
    section [3]:

    >  More unwind variants of existing ABI strings may be introduced,
    >  with the same semantics, without an additional RFC.

    Adding a new variant for each of these cases, rather than specifying
    a payload for a given ABI, would quickly become untenable, and make
    working with the `Abi` enum prone to mistakes.

    This approach encodes the unwinding information *into* a given ABI,
    to account for the future possibility of other `-unwind` ABI
    strings.

 ### Ignore Directives

    `ignore-*` directives are used in two of our `*-unwind` ABI test
    cases.

    Specifically, the `stdcall-unwind` and `thiscall-unwind` test cases
    ignore architectures that do not support `stdcall` and
    `thiscall`, respectively.

    These directives are cribbed from
    `src/test/ui/c-variadic/variadic-ffi-1.rs` for `stdcall`, and
    `src/test/ui/extern/extern-thiscall.rs` for `thiscall`.

    This would otherwise fail on some targets, see:
    fcf697f902

Implement NOOP_METHOD_CALL lint

Implements the beginnings of https://github.com/rust-lang/lang-team/issues/67 - a lint for detecting noop method calls (e.g, calling `<&T as Clone>::clone()` when `T: !Clone`).

This PR does not fully realize the vision and has a few limitations that need to be addressed either before merging or in subsequent PRs:
* [ ] No UFCS support
* [ ] The warning message is pretty plain
* [ ] Doesn't work for `ToOwned`

The implementation uses [`Instance::resolve`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_middle/ty/instance/struct.Instance.html#method.resolve) which is normally later in the compiler. It seems that there are some invariants that this function relies on that we try our best to respect. For instance, it expects substitutions to have happened, which haven't yet performed, but we check first for `needs_subst` to ensure we're dealing with a monomorphic type.

Move pick_by_value_method docs above function header

- Currently style triggers #81183 so we can't add `#[instrument]` to
  this function.

- Having docs above the header is more consistent with the rest of the
  code base.

Improve error msgs when found type is deref of expected

This improves help messages in two cases:

- When expected type is `T` and found type is `&T`, we now look through blocks
  and suggest dereferencing the expression of the block, rather than the whole
  block.

- In the above case, if the expression is an `&`, we not suggest removing the
  `&` instead of adding `*`.

Both of these are demonstrated in the regression test. Before this patch the
first error in the test would be:

    error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
     --> test.rs:8:9
      |
    5 | /     if true {
    6 | |         a
      | |         - expected because of this
    7 | |     } else {
    8 | |         b
      | |         ^ expected `usize`, found `&usize`
    9 | |     };
      | |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types
      |
    help: consider dereferencing the borrow
      |
    7 |     } else *{
    8 |         b
    9 |     };
      |

Now:

    error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
     --> test.rs:8:9
      |
    5 | /     if true {
    6 | |         a
      | |         - expected because of this
    7 | |     } else {
    8 | |         b
      | |         ^
      | |         |
      | |         expected `usize`, found `&usize`
      | |         help: consider dereferencing the borrow: `*b`
    9 | |     };
      | |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types

The second error:

    error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
      --> test.rs:14:9
       |
    11 | /     if true {
    12 | |         1
       | |         - expected because of this
    13 | |     } else {
    14 | |         &1
       | |         ^^ expected integer, found `&{integer}`
    15 | |     };
       | |_____- `if` and `else` have incompatible types
       |
    help: consider dereferencing the borrow
       |
    13 |     } else *{
    14 |         &1
    15 |     };
       |

now:

    error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types
      --> test.rs:14:9
       |
    11 | /     if true {

Rollup merge of #82220 - henryboisdequin:fixes-80853, r=varkor
fix the false 'defined here' messages

Closes #80853.

Take this code:

```rust
struct S;

fn repro_ref(thing: S) {
    thing();
}
```

Previously, the error message would be this:

```
error[E0618]: expected function, found `S`
 --> src/lib.rs:4:5
  |
3 | fn repro_ref(thing: S) {
  |              ----- `S` defined here
4 |     thing();
  |     ^^^^^--
  |     |
  |     call expression requires function

error: aborting due to previous error
```

This is incorrect as `S` is not defined in the function arguments, `thing` is defined there. With this change, the following is emitted:

```
error[E0618]: expected function, found `S`
  --> $DIR/80853.rs:4:5
   |
LL | fn repro_ref(thing: S) {
   |              ----- is of type `S`
LL |     thing();
   |     ^^^^^--
   |     |
   |     call expression requires function
   |
   = note: local variable `S` is not a function

error: aborting due to previous error
```

As you can see, this error message points out that `thing` is of type `S` and later in a note, that `S` is not a function. This change does seem like a downside for some error messages. Take this example:

```
LL | struct Empty2;
   | -------------- is of type `Empty2`
```

As you can see, the error message shows that the definition of `Empty2` is of type `Empty2`. Although this isn't wrong, it would be more helpful if it would say something like this (which was there previously):

```
LL | struct Empty2;
   | -------------- `Empty2` defined here
```

If there is a better way of doing this, where the `Empty2` example would stay the same as without this change, please inform me.

**Update: This is now fixed**
