(The crucial thing these changes are working toward (but are not yet
in this commit) is a way to pretty-print MIR without having the
`NodeId` for that MIR in hand.)
Batch of improvements to errors for new error format
This is a batch of improvements to existing errors to help get the most out of the new error format.
* Added labels to primary spans (^^^) for a set of errors that didn't currently have them
* Highlight the source blue under the secondary notes for better readability
* Move some of the "Note:" into secondary spans+labels
* Fix span_label to take &mut instead, which makes it work the same as other methods in that set
Add error description for E0455
r? @GuillaumeGomez.
About this error there is no much thing to explain. The short description says enough to understand. Feel free to review.
typeck: if a private field exists, also check for a public method
For example, `Vec::len` is both a field and a method, and usually encountering `vec.len` just means that the parens were forgotten.
Fixes: #26472
NOTE: I added the parameter `allow_private` to `method::exists` since I don't want to suggest inaccessible methods. For the second case, where only the method exists, I think it would make sense to set it to `false` as well, but I wanted to preserve compatibility for this case.
gdb Pretty Print: generic encoded was failing on reference/pointer types
If you debug this program using **gdb**
```rust
fn main() {
let x = 10;
let y = Some(&x);
// additional code
}
```
And you try to print **y**'s value from the debugger, you get the following:
```
(gdb) print y
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> Cannot convert value to int.:
$1 = {RUST$ENCODED$ENUM$0$None = Some = {0x7fff5fbff97c}}
```
What happens is that inside **debugger_pretty_printers_common.py** the method `is_null_variant` doesn't have any special handling for pointer values so it ends up calling `.as_integer()` on `discriminant_val` (which holds a pointer) and fails.
Considering it needs to handle pointers and return _true_ when the pointer is _null_, I modified the `.as_integer()` method in **gdb_rust_pretty_printing.py** to take pointers into consideration.
After this modification **gdb** prints **y** like this:
```
(gdb) print y
$1 = Some = {0x7fff5fbff97c}
```
Now, it would be nice to print something useful (instead of a pointer address) but the pretty printer doesn't currently handle references/pointers so that's a completely different subject.
Some simple improvements to MIR pretty printing
In short, this PR changes the MIR printer so that it:
* places an empty line between the MIR for each item
* does *not* write an empty line before the first BB when there are no
var decls
* aligns the "// Scope" comments 50 chars in (makes the output more
readable)
* prints the scope comments as "// scope N at ..." instead of "//
Scope(N) at ..."
* prints a prettier scope tree:
* no more unbalanced delimiters!
* no more "Parent" entry (these convey no useful information)
* drop the "Scope()" and just print scope IDs
* no braces when the scope is empty

Improve derived implementations for enums with lots of fieldless variants
A number of trait methods like PartialEq::eq or Hash::hash don't
actually need a distinct arm for each variant, because the code within
the arm only depends on the number and types of the fields in the
variants. We can easily exploit this fact to create less and better
code for enums with multiple variants that have no fields at all, the
extreme case being C-like enums.
For nickel.rs and its by now infamous 800 variant enum, this reduces
optimized compile times by 25% and non-optimized compile times by 40%.
Also peak memory usage is down by almost 40% (310MB down to 190MB).
To be fair, most other crates don't benefit nearly as much, because
they don't have as huge enums. The crates in the Rust distribution that
I measured saw basically no change in compile times (I only tried
optimized builds) and only 1-2% reduction in peak memory usage.
Make AtomicBool the same size as bool
Reopening #32365
This allows `AtomicBool` to be transmuted to a `bool`, which makes it more consistent with the other atomic types. Note that this now guarantees that the atomic type will always contain a valid `bool` value, which wasn't the case before (due to `fetch_nand`).

trans-collector: Assorted fixes and refactorings needed for making trans collector-driven.
As the title says. The messages on the individual commits should do a good job of explaining what they are about.
