Make ErrorReported impossible to construct outside `rustc_errors`
There are a few places were we have to construct it, though, and a few
places that are more invasive to change. To do this, we create a
constructor with a long obvious name.

More robust fallback for `use` suggestion
Our old way to suggest where to add `use`s would first look for pre-existing `use`s in the relevant crate/module, and if there are *no* uses, it would fallback on trying to use another item as the basis for the suggestion.
But this was fragile, as illustrated in issue #87613
This PR instead identifies span of the first token after any inner attributes, and uses *that* as the fallback for the `use` suggestion.
Fix#87613
then we just suggest the first legal position where you could inject a use.
To do this, I added `inject_use_span` field to `ModSpans`, and populate it in
parser (it is the span of the first token found after inner attributes, if any).
Then I rewrote the use-suggestion code to utilize it, and threw out some stuff
that is now unnecessary with this in place. (I think the result is easier to
understand.)
Then I added a test of issue 87613.
* Recover from invalid `'label: ` before block.
* Make suggestion to enclose statements in a block multipart.
* Point at `match`, `while`, `loop` and `unsafe` keywords when failing
to parse their expression.
* Do not suggest `{ ; }`.
* Do not suggest `|` when very unlikely to be what was wanted (in `let`
statements).

I have extended my clippy lint to also recognize tuple passing and match statements. The diff caused by fixing it is way above 1 thousand lines. Thus, I split it up into multiple pull requests to make reviewing easier. This is the biggest of these PRs and handles the changes outside of rustdoc, rustc_typeck, rustc_const_eval, rustc_trait_selection, which were handled in PRs #94139, #94142, #94143, #94144.
i'd guess about 70% of "bad escape" cases occur when someone meant to
use a raw string literal because they're passing it directly to
Regex::new(). this emits an advisory (Applicability::MaybeIncorrect)

fix ICE when parsing lifetime as function argument
I don't really like this, but we basically need to emit an error instead of just delaying an bug, because there are too many places in the AST that aren't covered by my previous PRs...
cc: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/93282#issuecomment-1028052945
If an integer is entered with an upper-case base prefix (0Xbeef, 0O755, 0B1010), suggest to make it lowercase
The current error for this case isn't really great, it just complains about the whole thing past the `0` being an invalid suffix.
Incorporate distance limit from `find_best_match_for_name` directly into
Levenshtein distance computation.
Use the string size difference as a lower bound on the distance and exit
early when it exceeds the specified limit.
After finding a candidate within a limit, lower the limit further to
restrict the search space.
Let qpath contain NtTy: `<$:ty as $:ty>::…`
Example:
```rust
macro_rules! m {
(<$type:ty as $trait:ty>::$name:ident) => {
<$type as $trait>::$name
};
}
fn main() {
let _: m!(<str as ToOwned>::Owned);
}
```
Previous behavior:
```console
error: expected identifier, found `ToOwned`
--> src/main.rs:3:19
|
3 | <$type as $trait>::$name
| ^^^^^^ expected identifier
...
8 | let _: m!(<str as ToOwned>::Owned);
| ---------------------------
| |
| this macro call doesn't expand to a type
| in this macro invocation
```
The <code>expected identifier, found \`ToOwned\`</code> error is particularly silly. I think it should be fine to accept this code as long as $trait is of the form `TyKind::Path(None, path)`; if it is any other kind of `NtTy`, we'll keep the same behavior as before.
ProjectionPredicate should be able to handle both associated types and consts so this adds the
first step of that. It mainly just pipes types all the way down, not entirely sure how to handle
consts, but hopefully that'll come with time.

Remove `SymbolStr`
This was originally proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74554#discussion_r466203544. As well as removing the icky `SymbolStr` type, it allows the removal of a lot of `&` and `*` occurrences.

By changing `as_str()` to take `&self` instead of `self`, we can just
return `&str`. We're still lying about lifetimes, but it's a smaller lie
than before, where `SymbolStr` contained a (fake) `&'static str`!

Do not add `;` to expected tokens list when it's wrong
There's a few spots where semicolons are checked for to do error recovery, and should not be suggested (or checked for other stuff).
Fixes#87647
Also add a test case for inserting a semicolon on extern fns.
Without this fix, we got an error like this:
error: expected one of `->`, `where`, or `{`, found `}`

| --- - expected one of `->`, `where`, or `{`

Since this is inside an extern block, you're required to write function
prototypes with no body. This fixes a regression, and adds a test case
for it.
Improve diagnostic for missing half of binary operator in `if` condition
Fixes#91421. I've also changed it so that it doesn't consume the `else` token in the error case, because it will try to consume it again afterwards, leading to this incorrect error message (where the `else` reported as missing is actually there):

fix(doctest): detect extern crate items in statement doctests
This partially reverts #91026, because rustdoc needs to detect the extern statements, even when they appear inside implicit `main()`. It does not entirely revert it, so the old bug is still fixed, by duplicating some of the logic from `parse_mod` instead of trying to use it directly.

Migrate in-tree crates to 2021
This replaces #89075 (cherry picking some of the commits from there), and closes#88637 and fixes#89074.
It excludes a migration of the library crates for now (see tidy diff) because we have some pending bugs around macro spans to fix there.
I instrumented bootstrap during the migration to make sure all crates moved from 2018 to 2021 had the compatibility warnings applied first.
Originally, the intent was to support cargo fix --edition within bootstrap, but this proved fairly difficult to pull off. We'd need to architect the check functionality to support running cargo check and cargo fix within the same x.py invocation, and only resetting sysroots on check. Further, it was found that cargo fix doesn't behave too well with "not quite workspaces", such as Clippy which has several crates. Bootstrap runs with --manifest-path ... for all the tools, and this makes cargo fix only attempt migration for that crate. We can't use e.g. --workspace due to needing to maintain sysroots for different phases of compilation appropriately.
It is recommended to skip the mass migration of Cargo.toml's to 2021 for review purposes; you can also use `git diff d6cd2c6c87 -I'^edition = .20...$'` to ignore the edition = 2018/21 lines in the diff.
Newcomers may write `{1, 2, 3}` for making arrays, and the current error

This PR fixes something that I keep running into when using `quote!{}.into()` in a proc macro to convert the `proc_macro2::TokenStream` to a `proc_macro::TokenStream`:
Before:
```
error: expected expression, found `.`

|
4 | quote! {
5 | ...
6 | }.into()
| ^ expected expression
```
After:
```
```
(No output, compiles fine.)
---
Context:
For expressions like `{ 1 }` and `if true { 1 } else { 2 }`, we accept them as full statements without a trailing `;`, which means the following is not accepted:
```rust
{ 1 } - 1 // error
```
since that is parsed as two statements: `{ 1 }` and `-1`. Syntactically correct, but the type of `{ 1 }` should be `()` as there is no `;`.
However, for specifically `.` and `?` after the `}`, we do [continue parsing it as an expression](13db8440bb/compiler/rustc_parse/src/parser/expr.rs (L864-L876)):
```rust
{ "abc" }.len(); // ok
```
For braced macro invocations, we do not do this:
```rust
vec![1, 2, 3].len(); // ok
vec!{1, 2, 3}.len(); // error
```
(It parses `vec!{1, 2, 3}` as a full statement, and then complains about `.len()` not being a valid expression.)
This PR changes this to also look for a `.` and `?` after a braced macro invocation. We can be sure the macro is an expression and not a full statement in those cases, since no statement can start with a `.` or `?`.
Use smaller spans for some structured suggestions

Encode spans relative to the enclosing item
The aim of this PR is to avoid recomputing queries when code is moved without modification.
MCP at https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/443
This is achieved by :
1. storing the HIR owner LocalDefId information inside the span;
2. encoding and decoding spans relative to the enclosing item in the incremental on-disk cache;
3. marking a dependency to the `source_span(LocalDefId)` query when we translate a span from the short (`Span`) representation to its explicit (`SpanData`) representation.
Since all client code uses `Span`, step 3 ensures that all manipulations
of span byte positions actually create the dependency edge between
the caller and the `source_span(LocalDefId)`.
This query return the actual absolute span of the parent item.
As a consequence, any source code motion that changes the absolute byte position of a node will either:
- modify the distance to the parent's beginning, so change the relative span's hash;
- dirty `source_span`, and trigger the incremental recomputation of all code that
depends on the span's absolute byte position.
With this scheme, I believe the dependency tracking to be accurate.
For the moment, the spans are marked during lowering.
I'd rather do this during def-collection,
but the AST MutVisitor is not practical enough just yet.
The only difference is that we attach macro-expanded spans
to their expansion point instead of the macro itself.
Change more x64 size checks to not apply to x32.
Commit 95e096d6 changed a bunch of size checks already, but more have
been added, so this fixes the new ones the same way: the various size
checks that are conditional on target_arch = "x86_64" were not intended
to apply to x86_64-unknown-linux-gnux32, so add
target_pointer_width = "64" to the conditions.
This commit focuses on emitting clean errors for the following syntax
error:
```
Some(42).map(|a|
dbg!(a);
a
);
```
Previous implementation tried to recover after parsing the closure body
(the `dbg` expression) by replacing the next `;` with a `,`, which made
the next expression belong to the next function argument. As such, the
following errors were emitted (among others):
- the semicolon token was not expected,
- a is not in scope,
- Option::map is supposed to take one argument, not two.
This commit allows us to gracefully handle this situation by adding
giving the parser the ability to remember when it has just parsed a
closure body inside a function call. When this happens, we can treat the
unexpected `;` specifically and try to parse as much statements as
possible in order to eat the whole block. When we can't parse statements
anymore, we generate a clean error indicating that the braces are
missing, and return an ExprKind::Err.
This reverts commit 059b68dd67.
Note that this was manually adjusted to retain some of the refactoring
introduced by commit 059b68dd67, so that it could
likewise retain the correction introduced in commit
5b4bc05fa5

Path remapping: Make behavior of diagnostics output dependent on presence of --remap-path-prefix.
This PR fixes a regression (#87745) with `--remap-path-prefix` where the flag stopped causing diagnostic messages to be remapped as well. The regression was introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/83813 where we erroneously assumed that remapping of diagnostic messages was not desired anymore (because #70642 partially undid that functionality with nobody objecting).
The issue is fixed by making `--remap-path-prefix` remap diagnostic messages again, including for paths that have been remapped in upstream crates (e.g. the standard library). This means that "sysroot-localization" (implemented in #70642) is also disabled if `rustc` is invoked with `--remap-path-prefix`. The assumption is that once someone starts explicitly remapping paths they also don't want paths to their local Rust installation in their build output.
In the future we might want to give more fine-grained control over this behavior via compiler flags (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3127 for a related RFC). For now this PR is intended as a regression fix.
This PR is an alternative to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/88191, which makes diagnostic messages be remapped unconditionally. That approach, however, would effectively revert #70642.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87745.

Introduce `let...else`
Tracking issue: #87335
The trickiest part for me was enforcing the diverging else block with clear diagnostics. Perhaps the obvious solution is to expand to `let _: ! = ..`, but I decided against this because, when a "mismatched type" error is found in typeck, there is no way to trace where in the HIR the expected type originated, AFAICT. In order to pass down this information, I believe we should introduce `Expectation::LetElseNever(HirId)` or maybe add `HirId` to `Expectation::HasType`, but I left that as a future enhancement. For now, I simply assert that the block is `!` with a custom `ObligationCauseCode`, and I think this is clear enough, at least to start. The downside here is that the error points at the entire block rather than the specific expression with the wrong type. I left a todo to this effect.
Overall, I believe this PR is feature-complete with regard to the RFC.

Remove `Session.used_attrs` and move logic to `CheckAttrVisitor`
Instead of updating global state to mark attributes as used,
we now explicitly emit a warning when an attribute is used in
an unsupported position. As a side effect, we are to emit more
detailed warning messages (instead of just a generic "unused" message).
`Session.check_name` is removed, since its only purpose was to mark
the attribute as used. All of the callers are modified to use
`Attribute.has_name`
Additionally, `AttributeType::AssumedUsed` is removed - an 'assumed
used' attribute is implemented by simply not performing any checks
in `CheckAttrVisitor` for a particular attribute.
We no longer emit unused attribute warnings for the `#[rustc_dummy]`
attribute - it's an internal attribute used for tests, so it doesn't
mark sense to treat it as 'unused'.
With this commit, a large source of global untracked state is removed.

Allow labeled loops as value expressions for `break`

break 'outer 'inner: loop { break 'inner 42; };

But not this:
```rust
break 'label: loop { break 'label 42; };

I have fixed this, so that the above now parses as an unlabeled break with a labeled loop as its value expression.

rfc3052 followup: Remove authors field from Cargo manifests

Stabilize "RangeFrom" patterns in 1.55
Implements a partial stabilization of #67264 and #37854.
Reference PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/900
# Stabilization Report
This stabilizes the `X..` pattern, shown as such, offering an exhaustive match for unsigned integers:
```rust
match x as u32 {
0 => println!("zero!"),
1.. => println!("positive number!"),
}
```
Currently if a Rust author wants to write such a match on an integer, they must use `1..={integer}::MAX` . By allowing a "RangeFrom" style pattern, this simplifies the match to not require the MAX path and thus not require specifically repeating the type inside the match, allowing for easier refactoring. This is particularly useful for instances like the above case, where different behavior on "0" vs. "1 or any positive number" is desired, and the actual MAX is unimportant.
Notably, this excepts slice patterns which include half-open ranges from stabilization, as the wisdom of those is still subject to some debate.
## Practical Applications
Instances of this specific usage have appeared in the compiler:

And I have noticed there are also a handful of "in the wild" users who have deployed it to similar effect, especially in the case of rejecting any value of a certain number or greater. It simply makes it much more ergonomic to write an irrefutable match, as done in Katholieke Universiteit Leuven's [SCALE and MAMBA project](05e5db00d5/WebAssembly/scale_std/src/fixed_point.rs (L685-L695)).
## Tests
There were already many tests in [src/test/ui/half-open-range/patterns](90a2e5e3fe/src/test/ui/half-open-range-patterns), as well as [generic pattern tests that test the `exclusive_range_pattern` feature](673d0db5e3/src/test/ui/pattern/usefulness/integer-ranges/reachability.rs), many dating back to the feature's introduction and remaining standing to this day. However, this stabilization comes with some additional tests to explore the... sometimes interesting behavior of interactions with other patterns. e.g. There is, at least, a mild diagnostic improvement in some edge cases, because before now, the pattern `0..=(5+1)` encounters the `half_open_range_patterns` feature gate and can thus emit the request to enable the feature flag, while also emitting the "inclusive range with no end" diagnostic. There is no intent to allow an `X..=` pattern that I am aware of, so removing the flag request is a strict improvement. The arrival of the `J | K` "or" pattern also enables some odd formations.
Some of the behavior tested for here is derived from experiments in this [Playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=58777b3c715c85165ac4a70d93efeefc) example, linked at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67264#issuecomment-812770692, which may be useful to reference to observe the current behavior more closely.
In addition tests constituting an explanation of the "slicing range patterns" syntax issue are included in this PR.
## Desiderata
The exclusive range patterns and half-open range patterns are fairly strongly requested by many authors, as they make some patterns much more natural to write, but there is disagreement regarding the "closed" exclusive range pattern or the "RangeTo" pattern, especially where it creates "off by one" gaps in the presence of a "catch-all" wildcard case. Also, there are obviously no range analyses in place that will force diagnostics for e.g. highly overlapping matches. I believe these should be warned on, ideally, and I think it would be reasonable to consider such a blocker to stabilizing this feature, but there is no technical issue with the feature as-is from the purely syntactic perspective as such overlapping or missed matches can already be generated today with such a catch-all case. And part of the "point" of the feature, at least from my view, is to make it easier to omit wildcard matches: a pattern with such an "open" match produces an irrefutable match and does not need the wild card case, making it easier to benefit from exhaustiveness checking.
## History
- Implemented:
- Partially via exclusive ranges: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35712
- Fully with half-open ranges: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/67258
- Unresolved Questions:
- The precedence concerns of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/48501 were considered as likely requiring adjustment but probably wanting a uniform consistent change across all pattern styles, given https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67264#issuecomment-720711656, but it is still unknown what changes might be desired
- How we want to handle slice patterns in ranges seems to be an open question still, as witnessed in the discussion of this PR!
I checked but I couldn't actually find an RFC for this, and given "approved provisionally by lang team without an RFC", I believe this might require an RFC before it can land? Unsure of procedure here, on account of this being stabilizing a subset of a feature of syntax.
