As discussed in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32293#issuecomment-200597130,
adding link guards are a heuristic that is causing undue complications:
- the link guards inject extra public symbols, which is not always OK.
- link guards as implemented could be a non-trivial performance hit,
because no attempt is made to "de-duplicate" the dependency graph,
so at worst you have O(N!) calls to the link guard functions.
Nonetheless, link guards are very helpful in detecting errors, so it may
be worth adding them back in some modified form in the future.
Link guards cause problems in some specific scenarios on windows because
they force libcore to be instantiated, since we do not GC functions
effectively on windows.
The changes here are two:
1. disable core for rsbegin/rsend
2. make panic_fmt an extern fn for smallest-hello-world so that it
is not marked as "internal" for LLVM
Full binary reproducible builds are not possible on all platforms
because linker injects a certain amount of randomness, apparently. Or,
at minimum, they don't work reliably yet.
This change has a few parts. We introduce a new `item_path` module for
constructing item paths. The job of this module is basically to make
nice, user-readable paths -- but these paths are not necessarily 100%
unique. They meant to help a *human* find code, but not necessarily a
compute. These paths are used to drive `item_path_str` but also symbol
names.
Because the paths are not unique, we also modify the symbol name hash to
include the full `DefPath`, whereas before it included only those
aspects of the def-path that were not included in the "informative"
symbol name.
Eventually, I'd like to make the item-path infrastructure a bit more
declarative. Right now it's based purely on strings. In particular, for
impls, we should supply the raw types to the `ItemPathBuffer`, so that
symbol names can be encoded using the C++ encoding scheme for better
integration with tooling.
We used to track, for each crate, a path that led to the extern-crate
that imported it. Instead of that, track the def-id of the extern crate,
along with a bit more information, and derive the path on the fly.
In particular, remove the name from the Impl, since that name is
synthesized and is not predictable (it tends to break incr. comp.).
Also rename the variants to be a bit more uniform and remove some
distinctions that we were not really taking advantage of anywhere.
We want to prevent compiling something against one version
of a dynamic library and then, at runtime accidentally
using a different version of the dynamic library. With the
old symbol-naming scheme this could not happen because every
symbol had the SVH in it and you'd get an error by the
dynamic linker when using the wrong version of a dylib. With
the new naming scheme this isn't the case any more, so this
patch adds the "link-guard" to prevent this error case.
This is implemented as follows:
- In every crate that we compile, we emit a function called
"__rustc_link_guard_<crate-name>_<crate-svh>"
- The body of this function contains calls to the
"__rustc_link_guard" functions of all dependencies.
- An executable contains a call to it's own
"__rustc_link_guard" function.
As a consequence the "__rustc_link_guard" function call graph
mirrors the crate graph and the dynamic linker will fail if a
wrong dylib is loaded somewhere because its
"__rustc_link_guard" function will contain a different SVH in
its name.
std: Link to gcc_s on NetBSD
Currently the nightlies we're producing fail when linking some C code into a
Rust application with the error message:
libgcc_s.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
By linking `gcc_s` instead of `gcc` this error goes away. I haven't tested this
on NetBSD itself, but should help get the Linux cross-compile image moreso up
and working!
Disallow methods from traits that are not in scope
This PR only allows a trait method to be used if the trait is in scope (fixes#31379).
This is a [breaking-change]. For example, the following would break:
```rust
mod foo {
pub trait T { fn f(&self) {} }
impl T for () {}
}
mod bar { pub use foo::T; }
fn main() {
pub use bar::*;
struct T; // This shadows the trait `T`,
().f() // making this an error.
}
```

This is a [breaking-change]: according to RFC #1445, constants used as
patterns must be of a type that *derives* `Eq`. If you encounter a
problem, you are most likely using a constant in an expression where the
type of the constant is some struct that does not currently implement
`Eq`. Something like the following:
```rust
struct SomeType { ... }
const SOME_CONST: SomeType = ...;
match foo {
SOME_CONST => ...
}
```
The easiest and most future compatible fix is to annotate the type in
question with `#[derive(Eq)]` (note that merely *implementing* `Eq` is
not enough, it must be *derived*):
```rust
struct SomeType { ... }
const SOME_CONST: SomeType = ...;
match foo {
SOME_CONST => ...
}
```
Another good option is to rewrite the match arm to use an `if`
condition (this is also particularly good for floating point types,
which implement `PartialEq` but not `Eq`):
```rust
match foo {
c if c == SOME_CONST => ...
}
```
Finally, a third alternative is to tag the type with
`#[structural_match]`; but this is not recommended, as the attribute is
never expected to be stabilized. Please see RFC #1445 for more details.
