linker: Allow MSVC to use import libraries following the Meson/MinGW convention
Hi all,
This PR implements support for `MsvcLinker` to use import libraries following Meson and the MinGW toolchain's naming convention. Meson [follows the `libfoo.dll.a` naming convention](https://mesonbuild.com/FAQ.html#why-does-building-my-project-with-msvc-output-static-libraries-called-libfooa) to disambiguate between static and import libraries.
This support already existed for static libraries (see #100101), but not for dynamic libraries. The latter case was added by duplicating the logic in `native_libs::find_native_static_library`, but a separate case was added in `link_dylib_by_name` for the Windows CRT libraries which must be handled by the linker itself.
See for prerequisites #129366, #126094, and #128370.
All feedback is appreciated!
Fixes#122455

Correctly handle stability of `#[diagnostic]` attributes
This commit changes the way we treat the stability of attributes in the
`#[diagnostic]` namespace. Instead of relaying on ad-hoc checks to
ensure at call side that a certain attribute is really usable at that
location it centralises the logic to one place. For diagnostic
attributes comming from other crates it just skips serializing
attributes that are not stable and that do not have the corresponding
feature enabled. For attributes from the current crate we can just use
the feature information provided by `TyCtx`.

Make decoding non-optional `LazyArray` panic if not set
Tables may be [defined](9649706ead/compiler/rustc_metadata/src/rmeta/mod.rs (L377)) as `optional:` or `defaulted:`. If optional, if we try to read a value from a key that was never encoded, we should panic. This has high value in ensuring correctness over a defaulted table, so the tradeoff is worth considering, since it signals the compiler has a buggy encode impl, rather than just defaulting to a value.
HOWEVER, `optional:` arrays were side-stepping this. So this PR fixes that, and makes `optional:` tables of `LazyArray` act like `LazyValue`, and panic if it's not assigned a value during encoding.
During this PR, I found that `deduced_param_attrs` has buggy (?? i think??) implementation where it will refuse to encode cross-crate `deduced_param_attrs` unless we're codegening, we're optimizing the library, and incremental is disabled. This seems incredibly wrong, but I don't want to fix it in this PR.

Stop using `ty::GenericPredicates` for non-predicates_of queries
`GenericPredicates` is a struct of several parts: A list of of an item's own predicates, and a parent def id (and some effects related stuff, but ignore that since it's kinda irrelevant). When instantiating these generic predicates, it calls `predicates_of` on the parent and instantiates its predicates, and appends the item's own instantiated predicates too:
acb4e8b625/compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/generics.rs (L407-L413)
Notice how this should result in a recursive set of calls to `predicates_of`... However, `GenericPredicates` is *also* misused by a bunch of *other* queries as a convenient way of passing around a list of predicates. For these queries, we don't ever set the parent def id of the `GenericPredicates`, but if we did, then this would be very easy to mistakenly call `predicates_of` instead of some other intended parent query.
Given that footgun, and the fact that we don't ever even *use* the parent def id in the `GenericPredicates` returned from queries like `explicit_super_predicates_of`, It really has no benefit over just returning `&'tcx [(Clause<'tcx>, Span)]`.
This PR additionally opts to wrap the results of `EarlyBinder`, as we've tended to use that in the return type of these kinds of queries to properly convey that the user has params to deal with, and it also gives a convenient way of iterating over a slice of things after instantiating.
Simplify some extern providers
Simplifies some extern crate providers:
1. Generalize the `ProcessQueryValue` identity impl to work on non-`Option` types.
2. Allow `ProcessQueryValue` to wrap its output in an `EarlyBinder`, to simplify `explicit_item_bounds`/`explicit_item_super_predicates`.
3. Use `{ table }` and friends more when possible.
linker: Synchronize native library search in rustc and linker
Also search for static libraries with alternative naming (`libname.a`) on MSVC when producing executables or dynamic libraries, and not just rlibs.
This unblocks https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123436.

Move `'tcx` lifetime off of impl and onto methods for `CrateMetadataRef`
Unconstrained type and const variables are not allowed, but unconstrained lifetimes are. This is not very good style, though, and it leads to unnecessary captures of a lifetime in edition 2024 (not that it matters, but it does trigger the edition migration lint).
Replace ASCII control chars with Unicode Control Pictures
Replace ASCII control chars like `CR` with Unicode Control Pictures like `␍`:
```
error: bare CR not allowed in doc-comment
--> $DIR/lex-bare-cr-string-literal-doc-comment.rs:3:32
|
LL | /// doc comment with bare CR: '␍'
| ^
```
Centralize the checking of unicode char width for the purposes of CLI display in one place. Account for the new replacements. Remove unneeded tracking of "zero-width" unicode chars, as we calculate these in the `SourceMap` as needed now.
Remove unnecessary impl sorting in queries and metadata
Removes unnecessary impl sorting because queries already return their keys in HIR definition order: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120371#issuecomment-1926422838
r? `@cjgillot` or `@lcnr` -- unless I totally misunderstood what was being asked for here? 😆fixes#120371
No longer track "zero-width" chars in `SourceMap`, read directly from the line when calculating the `display_col` of a `BytePos`. Move `char_width` to `rustc_span` and use it from the emitter.
This change allows the following to properly align in terminals (depending on the font, the replaced control codepoints are rendered as 1 or 2 width, on my terminal they are rendered as 1, on VSCode text they are rendered as 2):
```

Implement new effects desugaring
cc `@rust-lang/project-const-traits.` Will write down notes once I have finished.
* [x] See if we want `T: Tr` to desugar into `T: Tr, T::Effects: Compat<true>`
* [x] Fix ICEs on `type Assoc: ~const Tr` and `type Assoc<T: ~const Tr>`
* [ ] add types and traits to minicore test
* [ ] update rustc-dev-guide

Introduce `{IndexNewtype,SyntaxContext}::from_u16` for convenience because small indices are sometimes encoded as `u16`.
Use `SpanData::span` instead of `Span::new` where appropriate.
Add a clarifying comment about decoding span parents.
