Lifetime intrinsics help to reduce stack usage, because LLVM can apply
stack coloring to reuse the stack slots of dead allocas for new ones.
For example these functions now both use the same amount of stack, while
previous `bar()` used five times as much as `foo()`:
````rust
fn foo() {
println("{}", 5);
}
fn bar() {
println("{}", 5);
println("{}", 5);
println("{}", 5);
println("{}", 5);
println("{}", 5);
}
````
On top of that, LLVM can also optimize out certain operations when it
knows that memory is dead after a certain point. For example, it can
sometimes remove the zeroing used to cancel the drop glue. This is
possible when the glue drop itself was already removed because the
zeroing dominated the drop glue call. For example in:
````rust
pub fn bar(x: (Box<int>, int)) -> (Box<int>, int) {
x
}
````
With optimizations, this currently results in:
````llvm
define void @_ZN3bar20h330fa42547df8179niaE({ i64*, i64 }* noalias nocapture nonnull sret, { i64*, i64 }* noalias nocapture nonnull) unnamed_addr #0 {

%2 = bitcast { i64*, i64 }* %1 to i8*
%3 = bitcast { i64*, i64 }* %0 to i8*
tail call void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i64(i8* %3, i8* %2, i64 16, i32 8, i1 false)
tail call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i64(i8* %2, i8 0, i64 16, i32 8, i1 false)
ret void
}
````
But with lifetime intrinsics we get:
````llvm
define void @_ZN3bar20h330fa42547df8179niaE({ i64*, i64 }* noalias nocapture nonnull sret, { i64*, i64 }* noalias nocapture nonnull) unnamed_addr #0 {

Fixes#15665
`call_visit_glue` is only ever called from trans_intrinsic, and the
block won't be unreachable there. Also, the comment doesn't make sense
anymore. When the code was introduced in 38fee9526a the function was
also responsible for the cleanup glue, which is no longer the case.
While we're at it, also fixed the debug message to output the right
function name.
This implements RFC 39. Omitted lifetimes in return values will now be
inferred to more useful defaults, and an error is reported if a lifetime
in a return type is omitted and one of the two lifetime elision rules
does not specify what it should be.
This primarily breaks two uncommon code patterns. The first is this:
unsafe fn get_foo_out_of_thin_air() -> &Foo {
...
}
This should be changed to:
unsafe fn get_foo_out_of_thin_air() -> &'static Foo {
...
}
The second pattern that needs to be changed is this:
enum MaybeBorrowed<'a> {
Borrowed(&'a str),
Owned(String),
}
fn foo() -> MaybeBorrowed {
Owned(format!("hello world"))
}
Change code like this to:
enum MaybeBorrowed<'a> {
Borrowed(&'a str),
Owned(String),
}
fn foo() -> MaybeBorrowed<'static> {
Owned(format!("hello world"))
}
Closes#15552.

This should fix issue #15541. It would be good to have an test case for this would also be nice but I haven't had the time to write one. The change is very small though and it doesn't break anything in the existing test suite, so I guess we can add it without test for now.
except where trait objects are involved.
Part of issue #15349, though I'm leaving it open for trait objects.
Cross borrowing for trait objects remains because it is needed until we
have DST.
This will break code like:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(a);
Change this code to:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;

This makes two changes to region inference: (1) it allows region
inference to relate early-bound regions; and (2) it allows regions to be
related before variance runs. The former is needed because there is no
relation between the two regions before region substitution happens,
while the latter is needed because type collection has to run before
variance. We assume that, before variance is inferred, that lifetimes
are invariant. This is a conservative overapproximation.
This relates to #13885. This does not remove `~self` from the language
yet, however.

Disabling the redzone is required in x86-64's kernel mode to avoid interrupts trashing the stack.
I'm not sure if decl_fn is the right place to tag all functions with noredzone. It might have interactions with external functions when linking with bitcode built without -C no-redzone although I see no reason to do that.
I'm not sure how to write a test inspecting the bitcode output for noredzone attributes on all functions either.
Per @pnkfelix 's suggestion, using a trait to make these
field accesses more readable (and vastly more similar

oops fix new ast_map fix
This change propagates to many locations, but because of the
Macro Exterminator (or, more properly, the invariant that it
protects), macro invocations can't occur downstream of expansion.
This means that in librustc and librustdoc, extracting the
desired field can simply assume that it can't be a macro
invocation. Functions in ast_util abstract over this check.
This removes a bunch of token types. Tokens now store the original, unaltered
numeric literal (that is still checked for correctness), which is parsed into
an actual number later, as needed, when creating the AST.
This can change how syntax extensions work, but otherwise poses no visible
changes.

formerly, the self identifier was being discarded during parsing, which
stymies hygiene. The best fix here seems to be to attach a self identifier
to ExplicitSelf_, a change that rippled through the rest of the compiler,
but without any obvious damage.
Extend the null ptr optimization to work with slices, closures, procs, & trait objects by using the internal pointers as the discriminant.
This decreases the size of `Option<&[int]>` (and similar) by one word.
This will break code that used the old `Index` trait. Change this code
to use the new `Index` traits. For reference, here are their signatures:
pub trait Index<Index,Result> {
fn index<'a>(&'a self, index: &Index) -> &'a Result;
}
pub trait IndexMut<Index,Result> {
fn index_mut<'a>(&'a mut self, index: &Index) -> &'a mut Result;

LLVM doesn't handle i1 value in allocas/memory very well and skips a number of optimizations if it hits it. So we have to do the same thing that Clang does, using i1 for SSA values, but storing i8 in memory.
Fixes#15203.
LLVM doesn't really like types with a bit-width that isn't a multiple of
8 and disable various optimizations if it encounters such types used
with loads/stores. OTOH, booleans must be represented as i1 when used as
SSA values. To get the best results, we must use i1 for SSA values, and
i8 when storing the value to memory.
By using range asserts on loads, LLVM can eliminate the required
zero-extend and truncate operations.

This comit implements a new flag, --extern, which is used to specify where a
crate is located. The purpose of this flag is to bypass the normal crate
loading/matching of the compiler to point it directly at the right file.
This flag takes the form `--extern foo=bar` where `foo` is the name of a crate
and `bar` is the location at which to find the crate. Multiple `--extern`
directives are allowed with the same crate name to specify the rlib/dylib pair
for a crate. It is invalid to specify more than one rlib or more than one dylib,
and it's required that the crates are valid rust crates.
I have also added some extensive documentation to metadata::loader about how
crate loading should work.
RFC: 0035-remove-crate-id
This commit removes all support in the compiler for the #[crate_id] attribute
and all of its derivative infrastructure. A list of the functionality removed is:
* The #[crate_id] attribute no longer exists
* There is no longer the concept of a version of a crate
* Version numbers are no longer appended to symbol names
* The --crate-id command line option has been removed
To migrate forward, rename #[crate_id] to #[crate_name] and only the name of the
crate itself should be mentioned. The version/path of the old crate id should be
removed.
For a transitionary state, the #[crate_id] attribute is still accepted if
the #[crate_name] is not present, but it is warned about if it is the only
identifier present.

In my informal measurements, this brings the peak memory usage when
building librustc from 1662M down to 1502M. Since 1662 - 1502 = 160,
this may not recover the entirety of the observed memory regression
(250M) from PR #14604. (However, according to my local measurements,
the regression when building librustc was more like 209M, so perhaps
this will still recover the lions share of the lost memory.)
This basically meant changing the interface so that no borrowed `&Vec`
is exposed, by hiding `fn get_vec` and `fn get_mut_vec` and revising
`fn all_vecs`.
Instead, clients should use one of the other methods; `get_slice`,
`pop`, `truncate`, `replace`, `push_all`, or `is_empty_in`, which
should work for any case currently used in rustc.
This pull request adds hygiene for 3 kinds of argument bindings:
- arguments to item fns,
- arguments to `ExprFnBlock`s, and
- arguments to `ExprProc`s
It also adds a bunch of unit tests, fixes a few macro uses to be non-capturing, and has a few cleanup items.
local `make check` succeeds.
