So far, the source location an LLVM instruction was linked to was controlled by
`debuginfo::set_source_location()` and `debuginfo::clear_source_location()`.
This interface mimicked how LLVM's `IRBuilder` handles debug location
assignment. While this interface has some theoretical performance benefits, it
also makes things terribly unstable: One sets some quasi-global state and then
hopes that it is still correct when a given instruction is emitted---an
assumption that has been proven to not hold a bit too often.
This patch requires the debug source location to be passed to the actual
instruction emitting function. This makes source location assignment explicit
and will prevent future changes to `trans` from accidentally breaking things in
the majority of cases.
This patch does not yet implement the new principle for all instruction kinds
but the stepping experience should have improved significantly nonetheless
already.
This stops the compiler ICEing on the use of SIMD types in FFI signatures. It emits correct code for LLVM intrinsics, but I am quite unsure about the ABI handling in general so I've added a new feature gate `simd_ffi` to try to ensure people don't use it without realising there's a non-trivial risk of codegen brokenness.
Closes#20043.
There are two places left where we used to only know the byte
size of/offset into an array and had to cast to i8 and back to get the
right addresses. But by now, we always know the sizes in terms of the
number of elements in the array. In fact we have to add an extra Mul
instruction so we can use the weird cast-to-u8 code. So we should really
just embrace our new knowledge and use simple GEPs to do the address
calculations.
Fixes#3729

Additionally, the pointer calculations in bind_subslice_pat don't handle
zero-sized types correctly, producing slices that point outside the
array that is being matched against. Using GEP fixes that as well.

fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.

The `mut` in slices is now redundant. Mutability is 'inferred' from position. This means that if mutability is only obvious from the type, you will need to use explicit calls to the slicing methods.
#16081 fixed an issue where a nested return statement would cause incorrect behaviour due to the inner return writing over the return stack slot that had already been written too. However, the check was very broad and picked many cases that wouldn't ever be affected by this issue.
As a result, the number of allocas increased dramatically and therefore stack-size increased. LLVM is not able to remove all of the extraneous allocas. Any code that had multiple return values in a compound expression at the end of a function (including loops) would be hit by the issue.
The check now uses a control-flow graph to only consider the case when the inner return is executed conditionally. By itself, this narrowed definition causes #15763 to return, so the control-flow graph is also used to avoid passing the return slot as a destination when the result won't be used.
This change allows the stack-size of the main rustc task to be reduced to 8MB from 32MB.
