All other instructions assume that user works with separate repository than Rust compiler repository. When one follows default instructions, cranelift codegen tries to use different sys-root and compiler internal crates which leads to compiler errors when building it.
I needed to do all this steps while adding new intrinsic to rustc.
Support #[global_allocator] without the allocator shim
This makes it possible to use liballoc/libstd in combination with `--emit obj` if you use `#[global_allocator]`. This is what rust-for-linux uses right now and systemd may use in the future. Currently they have to depend on the exact implementation of the allocator shim to create one themself as `--emit obj` doesn't create an allocator shim.
Note that currently the allocator shim also defines the oom error handler, which is normally required too. Once `#![feature(default_alloc_error_handler)]` becomes the only option, this can be avoided. In addition when using only fallible allocator methods and either `--cfg no_global_oom_handling` for liballoc (like rust-for-linux) or `--gc-sections` no references to the oom error handler will exist.
To avoid this feature being insta-stable, you will have to define `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` to avoid linker errors.
(Labeling this with both T-compiler and T-lang as it originally involved both an implementation detail and had an insta-stable user facing change. As noted above, the `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` symbol requirement should prevent unintended dependence on this unstable feature.)
Error message all end up passing into a function as an `impl
Into<{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage>`. If an error message is creatd as
`&format("...")` that means we allocate a string (in the `format!`
call), then take a reference, and then clone (allocating again) the
reference to produce the `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage`, which is silly.
This commit removes the leading `&` from a lot of these cases. This
means the original `String` is moved into the
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage`, avoiding the double allocations. This
requires changing some function argument types from `&str` to `String`
(when all arguments are `String`) or `impl
Into<{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage>` (when some arguments are `String` and
some are `&str`).
You will need to add the following as replacement for the old __rust_*
definitions when not using the alloc shim.
#[no_mangle]
static __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable: u8 = 0;
This makes it possible to use liballoc/libstd in combination with
`--emit obj` if you use `#[global_allocator]`. Making it work for the
default libstd allocator would require weak functions, which are not
well supported on all systems.
Currently a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` can be created from any type that
impls `Into<String>`. That includes `&str`, `String`, and `Cow<'static,
str>`, which are reasonable. It also includes `&String`, which is pretty
weird, and results in many places making unnecessary allocations for
patterns like this:
```
self.fatal(&format!(...))
```
This creates a string with `format!`, takes a reference, passes the
reference to `fatal`, which does an `into()`, which clones the
reference, doing a second allocation. Two allocations for a single
string, bleh.
This commit changes the `From` impls so that you can only create a
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` from `&str`, `String`, or `Cow<'static,
str>`. This requires changing all the places that currently create one
from a `&String`. Most of these are of the `&format!(...)` form
described above; each one removes an unnecessary static `&`, plus an
allocation when executed. There are also a few places where the existing
use of `&String` was more reasonable; these now just use `clone()` at
the call site.
As well as making the code nicer and more efficient, this is a step
towards possibly using `Cow<'static, str>` in
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}`. That would require changing
the `From<&'a str>` impls to `From<&'static str>`, which is doable, but
I'm not yet sure if it's worthwhile.
They're semantically the same, so this means the backends don't need to handle the intrinsic and means fewer MIR basic blocks in pointer arithmetic code.
Report allocation errors as panics
OOM is now reported as a panic but with a custom payload type (`AllocErrorPanicPayload`) which holds the layout that was passed to `handle_alloc_error`.
This should be review one commit at a time:
- The first commit adds `AllocErrorPanicPayload` and changes allocation errors to always be reported as panics.
- The second commit removes `#[alloc_error_handler]` and the `alloc_error_hook` API.

Add offset_of! macro (RFC 3308)
Implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3308 (tracking issue #106655) by adding the built in macro `core::mem::offset_of`. Two of the future possibilities are also implemented:
* Nested field accesses (without array indexing)
* DST support (for `Sized` fields)
I wrote this a few months ago, before the RFC merged. Now that it's merged, I decided to rebase and finish it.

Unify terminology used in unwind action and terminator, and reflect
the fact that a nounwind panic is triggered instead of an immediate
abort is triggered for this terminator.
Insert alignment checks for pointer dereferences when debug assertions are enabled
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54915
- [x] Jake tells me this sounds like a place to use `MirPatch`, but I can't figure out how to insert a new basic block with a new terminator in the middle of an existing basic block, using `MirPatch`. (if nobody else backs up this point I'm checking this as "not actually a good idea" because the code looks pretty clean to me after rearranging it a bit)
- [x] Using `CastKind::PointerExposeAddress` is definitely wrong, we don't want to expose. Calling a function to get the pointer address seems quite excessive. ~I'll see if I can add a new `CastKind`.~ `CastKind::Transmute` to the rescue!
- [x] Implement a more helpful panic message like slice bounds checking.

And while doing the updates for that, also uses `FieldIdx` in `ProjectionKind::Field` and `TypeckResults::field_indices`.
There's more places that could use it (like `rustc_const_eval` and `LayoutS`), but I tried to keep this PR from exploding to *even more* places.

Move `mir::Field` → `abi::FieldIdx`
The first PR for https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/606
This is just the move-and-rename, because it's plenty big already. Future PRs will start using `FieldIdx` more broadly, and concomitantly removing `FieldIdx::new`s.

Use Rayon's TLV directly
This accesses Rayon's `TLV` thread local directly avoiding wrapper functions. This makes rustc work with https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-rayon/pull/10.
r? `@cuviper`
Since structs are always `VariantIdx(0)`, there's a bunch of files where the only reason they had `VariantIdx` or `vec::Idx` imported at all was to get the first variant.
So this uses a constant for that, and adds some doc-comments to `VariantIdx` while I'm there, since it doesn't have any today.
