1. It captured stdout and not stderr
2. It isn't used anywhere
3. All error messages should go to the DiagnosticOutput instead
4. It modifies thread local state
The only difference between the default and rustc_interface set version
is that the default accesses the source map from SESSION_GLOBALS while
the rustc_interface version accesses the source map from the global
TyCtxt. SESSION_GLOBALS is always set while running the compiler while
the global TyCtxt is not always set. If the global TyCtxt is set, it's
source map is identical to the one in SESSION_GLOBALS
This ensures that it is called even when run_in_thread_pool_with_globals
is avoided and reduces code duplication between the parallel and
non-parallel version of run_in_thread_pool_with_globals
This option introduced in #15820 allows a custom crate to be imported in
the place of std, but with the name std. I don't think there is any
value to this. At most it is confusing users of a driver that uses this option. There are no users of
this option on github. If anyone still needs it, they can emulate it
injecting #![no_core] in addition to their own prelude.
Ensure that queries only return Copy types.
This should pervent the perf footgun of returning a result with an expensive `Clone` impl (like a `Vec` of a hash map).
I went for the stupid solution of allocating on an arena everything that was not `Copy`. Some query results could be made Copy easily, but I did not really investigate.
Delete -Zquery-stats infrastructure
These statistics are computable from the self-profile data and/or ad-hoc collectable as needed, and in the meantime contribute to rustc bootstrap times -- locally, this PR shaves ~2.5% from rustc_query_impl builds in instruction counts.
If this does lose some functionality we want to keep, I think we should migrate it to self-profile (or a similar interface) rather than this ad-hoc reporting.
Store rlink data in opaque binary format on disk
This removes one of the only uses of JSON decoding (to Rust structs) from the compiler, and fixes the FIXME comment. It's not clear to me what the reason for using JSON here originally was, and from what I can tell nothing outside of rustc expects to read the emitted information, so it seems like a reasonable step to move it to the metadata-encoding format (rustc_serialize::opaque).
Mostly intended as a FIXME fix, though potentially a stepping stone to dropping the support for Decodable to be used to decode JSON entirely (allowing for better/faster APIs on the Decoder trait).

Stabilize `-Z instrument-coverage` as `-C instrument-coverage`
(Tracking issue for `instrument-coverage`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79121)
This PR stabilizes support for instrumentation-based code coverage, previously provided via the `-Z instrument-coverage` option. (Continue supporting `-Z instrument-coverage` for compatibility for now, but show a deprecation warning for it.)
Many, many people have tested this support, and there are numerous reports of it working as expected.
Move the documentation from the unstable book to stable rustc documentation. Update uses and documentation to use the `-C` option.
Addressing questions raised in the tracking issue:
> If/when stabilized, will the compiler flag be updated to -C instrument-coverage? (If so, the -Z variant could also be supported for some time, to ease migrations for existing users and scripts.)
This stabilization PR updates the option to `-C` and keeps the `-Z` variant to ease migration.
> The Rust coverage implementation depends on (and automatically turns on) -Z symbol-mangling-version=v0. Will stabilizing this feature depend on stabilizing v0 symbol-mangling first? If so, what is the current status and timeline?
This stabilization PR depends on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90128 , which stabilizes `-C symbol-mangling-version=v0` (but does not change the default symbol-mangling-version).
> The Rust coverage implementation implements the latest version of LLVM's Coverage Mapping Format (version 4), which forces a dependency on LLVM 11 or later. A compiler error is generated if attempting to compile with coverage, and using an older version of LLVM.
Given that LLVM 13 has now been released, requiring LLVM 11 for coverage support seems like a reasonable requirement. If people don't have at least LLVM 11, nothing else breaks; they just can't use coverage support. Given that coverage support currently requires a nightly compiler and LLVM 11 or newer, allowing it on a stable compiler built with LLVM 11 or newer seems like an improvement.
The [tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79121) and the [issue label A-code-coverage](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels/A-code-coverage) link to a few open issues related to `instrument-coverage`, but none of them seem like showstoppers. All of them seem like improvements and refinements we can make after stabilization.
The original `-Z instrument-coverage` support went through a compiler-team MCP at https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/278 . Based on that, `@pnkfelix` suggested that this needed a stabilization PR and a compiler-team FCP.
Make dead code check a query.
Dead code check is run for each invocation of the compiler, even if no modifications were involved.
This PR makes dead code check a query keyed on the module. This allows to skip the check when a module has not changed.
To perform this, a query `live_symbols_and_ignored_derived_traits` is introduced to encapsulate the global analysis of finding live symbols. The second query `check_mod_deathness` outputs diagnostics for each module based on this first query's results.

Improve error message for key="value" cfg arguments.
Hi, I ran into difficulties using the `--cfg` flag syntax, first hit when googling for the error was issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66450. Reading that issue, it sounded like the best way to improve the experience was to improve the error message, this is low risk and doesn't introduce any additional argument parsing.
The issue mentions that it is entirely dependent on the shell, while this may be true, I think guiding the the user into the realization that the quotes may need to be escaped is helpful. The two suggested escapings both work in Bash and in the Windows command prompt.

Stabilize `-Z print-link-args` as `--print link-args`
We have stable options for adding linker arguments; we should have a
stable option to help debug linker arguments.
Add documentation for the new option. In the documentation, make it clear that
the *exact* format of the output is not a stable guarantee.
Implement raw-dylib support for windows-gnu
Add support for `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]` on windows-gnu targets. Work around binutils's linker's inability to read import libraries produced by LLVM by calling out to the binutils `dlltool` utility to create an import library from a temporary .DEF file; this approach is effectively a slightly refined version of `@mati865's` earlier attempt at this strategy in PR #88801. (In particular, this attempt at this strategy adds support for `#[link_ordinal(...)]` as well.)
In support of #58713.
Replace use of `ty()` on term and use it in more places. This will allow more flexibility in the
future, but slightly worried it allows items which are consts which only accept types.
Stabilize -Z symbol-mangling-version=v0 as -C symbol-mangling-version=v0
This allows selecting `v0` symbol-mangling without an unstable option. Selecting `legacy` still requires -Z unstable-options.
This does not change the default symbol-mangling-version. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/89917 for a pull request changing the default. Rationale, from #89917:
Rust's current mangling scheme depends on compiler internals; loses information about generic parameters (and other things) which makes for a worse experience when using external tools that need to interact with Rust symbol names; is inconsistent; and can contain . characters which aren't universally supported. Therefore, Rust has defined its own symbol mangling scheme which is defined in terms of the Rust language, not the compiler implementation; encodes information about generic parameters in a reversible way; has a consistent definition; and generates symbols that only use the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and _.
Support for the new Rust symbol mangling scheme has been added to upstream tools that will need to interact with Rust symbols (e.g. debuggers).
This pull request allows enabling the new v0 symbol-mangling-version.
See #89917 for references to the implementation of v0, and for references to the tool changes to decode Rust symbols.
Continue supporting -Z instrument-coverage for compatibility for now,
but show a deprecation warning for it.
Update uses and documentation to use the -C option.

Emit an error for `--cfg=)`
Fixes#73026
See also: #64467, #89468
The issue stems from a `FatalError` being silently raised in
`panictry_buffer`. Normally this is not a problem, because
`panictry_buffer` emits the causes of the error, but they are not
themselves fatal, so they get filtered out by the silent emitter.
To fix this, we use a parser entrypoint which doesn't use
`panictry_buffer`, and we handle the error ourselves.

Add Attribute::meta_kind
The `AttrItem::meta` function is being called on a lot of places, however almost always the caller is only interested in the `kind` of the result `MetaItem`. Before, the `path` had to be cloned in order to get the kind, now it does not have to be.
There is a larger related "problem". In a lot of places, something wants to know contents of attributes. This is accessed through `Attribute::meta_item_list`, which calls `AttrItem::meta` (now `AttrItem::meta_kind`), among other methods. When this function is called, the meta item list has to be recreated from scratch. Everytime something asks a simple question (like is this item/list of attributes `#[doc(hidden)]`?), the tokens of the attribute(s) are cloned, parsed and the results are allocated on the heap. That seems really unnecessary. What would be the best way to cache this? Turn `meta_item_list` into a query perhaps? Related PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/92227

Add codegen option for branch protection and pointer authentication on AArch64

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.
Best reviewed one commit at a time.
r? `@oli-obk`
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`!
The resulting profile will include the crate name and will be stored in
the `--out-dir` directory.
This implementation makes it convenient to use LLVM time trace together
with cargo, in the contrast to the previous implementation which would
overwrite profiles or store them in `.cargo/registry/..`.
replace dynamic library module with libloading
This PR deletes the `rustc_metadata::dynamic_lib` module in favor of the popular and better tested [`libloading` crate](https://github.com/nagisa/rust_libloading/).
We don't benefit from `libloading`'s symbol lifetimes since we end up leaking the loaded library in all cases, but the call-sites look much nicer by improving error handling and abstracting away some transmutes. We also can remove `rustc_metadata`'s direct dependencies on `libc` and `winapi`.
This PR also adds an exception for `libloading` (and its license) to tidy, so this will need sign-off from the compiler team.
