As per @pcwalton's request, `debug!(..)` is only activated when the `debug` cfg is set; that is, for `RUST_LOG=some_module=4 ./some_program` to work, it needs to be compiled with `rustc --cfg debug some_program.rs`. (Although, there is the sneaky `__debug!(..)` macro that is always active, if you *really* need it.)
It functions by making `debug!` expand to `if false { __debug!(..) }` (expanding to an `if` like this is required to make sure `debug!` statements are typechecked and to avoid unused variable warnings), and adjusting trans to skip the pointless branches in `if true ...` and `if false ...`.
The conditional expansion change also required moving the inject-std-macros step into a new pass, and makes it actually insert them at the top of the crate; this means that the cfg stripping traverses over the macros and so filters out the unused ones.
This appears to takes an unoptimised build of `librustc` from 65s to 59s; and the full bootstrap from 18m41s to 18m26s on my computer (with general background use).
`./configure --enable-debug` will enable `debug!` statements in the bootstrap build.
That is, the `b` branch in `if true { a } else { b }` will not be
trans'd, and that expression will be exactly the same as `a`. This
means that, for example, macros conditionally expanding to `if false
{ .. }` (like debug!) will not waste time in LLVM (or trans).
An alloca in an unreachable block would shortcircuit with Undef, but with type
`Type`, rather than type `*Type` (i.e. a plain value, not a pointer) but it is
expected to return a pointer into the stack, leading to confusion and LLVM
asserts later.
Similarly, attaching the range metadata to a Load in an unreachable block
makes LLVM unhappy, since the Load returns Undef.
Fixes#7344.
If the TLS key is 0-sized, then the linux linker is apparently smart enough to
put everything at the same pointer. OSX on the other hand, will reserve some
space for all of them. To get around this, the TLS key now actuall consumes
space to ensure that it gets a unique pointer
We used to have concrete types in glue functions, but the way we used
to implement that broke inlining of those functions. To fix that, we
converted all glue to just take an i8* and always casted to that type.
The problem with the old implementation was that we made a wrong
assumption about the glue functions, taking it for granted that they
always take an i8*, because that's the function type expected by the
TyDesc fields. Therefore, we always ended up with some kind of cast.
But actually, we can initially have the glue with concrete types and
only cast the functions to the generic type once we actually emit the
TyDesc data.
That means that for glue calls that can be statically resolved, we don't
need any casts, unless the glue uses a simplified type. In that case we
cast the argument. And for glue calls that are resolved at runtime, we
cast the argument to i8*, because that's what the glue function in the
TyDesc expects.
Since most of out glue calls are static, this saves a lot of bitcasts.
The size of the unoptimized librustc.ll goes down by 240k lines.
Currently, we always create a dedicated "return" basic block, but when
there's only a single predecessor for that block, it can be merged with
that predecessor. We can achieve that merge by only creating the return
block on demand, avoiding its creation when its not required.
Reduces the pre-optimization size of librustc.ll created with --passes ""
by about 90k lines which equals about 4%.
Currently, immediate values are copied into an alloca only to have an
addressable storage so that it can be used with memcpy. Obviously we
can skip the memcpy in this case.
cc #6004 and #3273
This is a rewrite of TLS to get towards not requiring `@` when using task local storage. Most of the rewrite is straightforward, although there are two caveats:
1. Changing `local_set` to not require `@` is blocked on #7673
2. The code in `local_pop` is some of the most unsafe code I've written. A second set of eyes should definitely scrutinize it...
The public-facing interface currently hasn't changed, although it will have to change because `local_data::get` cannot return `Option<T>`, nor can it return `Option<&T>` (the lifetime isn't known). This will have to be changed to be given a closure which yield `&T` (or as an Option). I didn't do this part of the api rewrite in this pull request as I figured that it could wait until when `@` is fully removed.
This also doesn't deal with the issue of using something other than functions as keys, but I'm looking into using static slices (as mentioned in the issues).

The free-standing functions in f32, f64, i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16,
u32, u64, float, int, and uint are replaced with generic functions in
num instead.
This means that instead of having to know everywhere what the type is, like
~~~
f64::sin(x)
~~~
You can simply write code that uses the type-generic versions in num instead, this works for all types that implement the corresponding trait in num.
~~~
num::sin(x)
~~~
Note 1: If you were previously using any of those functions, just replace them
with the corresponding function with the same name in num.
Note 2: If you were using a function that corresponds to an operator, use the
operator instead.
Note 3: This is just https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/7090 reopened against master.
for cases where it's hard to decide what id to use for the lookup); modify
irrefutable bindings code to move or copy depending on the type, rather than
threading through a flag. Also updates how local variables and arguments are
registered. These changes were hard to isolate.

We currently still handle immediate return values a lot like
non-immediate ones. We provide a slot for them and store them into
memory, often just to immediately load them again. To improve this
situation, trans_call_inner has to return a Result which contains the
immediate return value.
Also, it also needs to accept "No destination" in addition to just
SaveIn and Ignore. Since "No destination" isn't something that fits
well into the Dest type, I've chosen to simply use Option<Dest>
instead, paired with an assertion that checks that "None" is only
allowed for immediate return values.
There's no need to allocate a return slot for anykind of immediate
return value, not just not for nils. Also, when the return value is
ignored, we only have to copy it to a temporary alloca if it's actually
required to call drop_ty on it.
This is work continued from the now landed #7495 and #7521 pulls.
Removing the headers from unique vectors is another project, so I've separated the allocator.
This way when you compile with -Z trans-stats you'll get a per-function cost breakdown, sorted with the most expensive functions first. Should help highlight pathological code.
