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.

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.

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

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.

LLVM has built-in heuristics for adding stack canaries to functions. These
heuristics can be selected with LLVM function attributes. This patch adds a
rustc option `-Z stack-protector={none,basic,strong,all}` which controls the use
of these attributes. This gives rustc the same stack smash protection support as
clang offers through options `-fno-stack-protector`, `-fstack-protector`,
`-fstack-protector-strong`, and `-fstack-protector-all`. The protection this can
offer is demonstrated in test/ui/abi/stack-protector.rs. This fills a gap in the
current list of rustc exploit
mitigations (https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/exploit-mitigations.html),
originally discussed in #15179.
Stack smash protection adds runtime overhead and is therefore still off by
default, but now users have the option to trade performance for security as they
see fit. An example use case is adding Rust code in an existing C/C++ code base
compiled with stack smash protection. Without the ability to add stack smash
protection to the Rust code, the code base artifacts could be exploitable in
ways not possible if the code base remained pure C/C++.
Stack smash protection support is present in LLVM for almost all the current
tier 1/tier 2 targets: see
test/assembly/stack-protector/stack-protector-target-support.rs. The one
exception is nvptx64-nvidia-cuda. This patch follows clang's example, and adds a
warning message printed if stack smash protection is used with this target (see
test/ui/stack-protector/warn-stack-protector-unsupported.rs). Support for tier 3
targets has not been checked.
Since the heuristics are applied at the LLVM level, the heuristics are expected
to add stack smash protection to a fraction of functions comparable to C/C++.
Some experiments demonstrating how Rust code is affected by the different
heuristics can be found in
test/assembly/stack-protector/stack-protector-heuristics-effect.rs. There is
potential for better heuristics using Rust-specific safety information. For
example it might be reasonable to skip stack smash protection in functions which
transitively only use safe Rust code, or which uses only a subset of functions
the user declares safe (such as anything under `std.*`). Such alternative
heuristics could be added at a later point.
LLVM also offers a "safestack" sanitizer as an alternative way to guard against
stack smashing (see #26612). This could possibly also be included as a
stack-protection heuristic. An alternative is to add it as a sanitizer (#39699).
This is what clang does: safestack is exposed with option
`-fsanitize=safe-stack`.
The options are only supported by the LLVM backend, but as with other codegen
options it is visible in the main codegen option help menu. The heuristic names
"basic", "strong", and "all" are hopefully sufficiently generic to be usable in
other backends as well.

Added the --temps-dir option
Fixes#10971.
The new `--temps-dir` option puts intermediate files in a user-specified directory. This provides a fix for the issue where parallel invocations of rustc would overwrite each other's intermediate files.
No files are kept in the intermediate directory unless `-C save-temps=yes`.
If additional files are specifically requested using `--emit asm,llvm-bc,llvm-ir,obj,metadata,link,dep-info,mir`, these will be put in the output directory rather than the intermediate directory.
This is a backward-compatible change, i.e. if `--temps-dir` is not specified, the behavior is the same as before.

Add -Z no-unique-section-names to reduce ELF header bloat.
This change adds a new compiler flag that can help reduce the size of ELF binaries that contain many functions.
By default, when enabling function sections (which is the default for most targets), the LLVM backend will generate different section names for each function. For example, a function `func` would generate a section called `.text.func`. Normally this is fine because the linker will merge all those sections into a single one in the binary. However, starting with [LLVM 12](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/ee5d1a04), the backend will also generate unique section names for exception handling, resulting in thousands of `.gcc_except_table.*` sections ending up in the final binary because some linkers like LLD don't currently merge or strip these EH sections (see discussion [here](https://reviews.llvm.org/D83655)). This can bloat the ELF headers and string table significantly in binaries that contain many functions.
The new option is analogous to Clang's `-fno-unique-section-names`, and instructs LLVM to generate the same `.text` and `.gcc_except_table` section for each function, resulting in a smaller final binary.
The motivation to add this new option was because we have a binary that ended up with so many ELF sections (over 65,000) that it broke some existing ELF tools, which couldn't handle so many sections.
Here's our old binary:
```
$ readelf --sections old.elf | head -1
There are 71746 section headers, starting at offset 0x2a246508:
$ readelf --sections old.elf | grep shstrtab
[71742] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 2977204c ad44bb 00 0 0 1
```
That's an 11MB+ string table. Here's the new binary using this option:
```
$ readelf --sections new.elf | head -1
There are 43 section headers, starting at offset 0x29143ca8:
$ readelf --sections new.elf | grep shstrtab
[40] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 29143acc 0001db 00 0 0 1
```
The whole binary size went down by over 20MB, which is quite significant.
Implement -Z location-detail flag
This PR implements the `-Z location-detail` flag as described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2091 .
`-Z location-detail=val` controls what location details are tracked when using `caller_location`. This allows users to control what location details are printed as part of panic messages, by allowing them to exclude any combination of filenames, line numbers, and column numbers. This option is intended to provide users with a way to mitigate the size impact of `#[track_caller]`.
Some measurements of the savings of this approach on an embedded binary can be found here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70579#issuecomment-942556822 .
Closes#70580 (unless people want to leave that open as a place for discussion of further improvements).
This is my first real PR to rust, so any help correcting mistakes / understanding side effects / improving my tests is appreciated :)
I have one question: RFC 2091 specified this as a debugging option (I think that is what -Z implies?). Does that mean this can never be stabilized without a separate MCP? If so, do I need to submit an MCP now, or is the initial RFC specifying this option sufficient for this to be merged as is, and then an MCP would be needed for eventual stabilization?
Report fatal lexer errors in `--cfg` command line arguments
Fixes#89358. The erroneous behavior was apparently introduced by `@Mark-Simulacrum` in a678e31911; the idea is to silence individual parser errors and instead emit one catch-all error message after parsing. However, for the example in #89358, a fatal lexer error is created here:
edebf77e00/compiler/rustc_parse/src/lexer/mod.rs (L340-L349)
This fatal error aborts the compilation, and so the call to `new_parser_from_source_str()` never returns and the catch-all error message is never emitted. I have therefore changed the `SilentEmitter` to silence only non-fatal errors; with my changes, for the rustc invocation described in #89358:
```sh
rustc --cfg "abc\""
```
I get the following output:
```
error[E0765]: unterminated double quote string
|
= note: this error occurred on the command line: `--cfg=abc"`
```
This change adds a new compiler flag that can help reduce the size of

This can bloat the ELF headers and string table significantly in

The new option is analogous to Clang's -fno-unique-section-names, and
instructs LLVM to generate the same ".text" and ".gcc_except_table"
section for each function, resulting in smaller object files and
potentially a smaller final binary.
This largely involves implementing the options debug-info-for-profiling
and profile-sample-use and forwarding them on to LLVM.
AutoFDO can be used on x86-64 Linux like this:
rustc -O -Cdebug-info-for-profiling main.rs -o main
perf record -b ./main
create_llvm_prof --binary=main --out=code.prof
rustc -O -Cprofile-sample-use=code.prof main.rs -o main2
Now `main2` will have feedback directed optimization applied to it.

Pass real crate-level attributes to `pre_expansion_lint`
The PR concerns the unstable feature `register_tool` (#66079).
The feature's implementation requires the attributes of the crate being compiled, so that when attributes like `allow(foo::bar)` are encountered, it can be verified that `register_tool(foo)` appears in the crate root.
However, the crate's attributes are not readily available during early lint passes. Specifically, on this line, `krate.attrs` appears to be the attributes of the current source file, not the attributes of the whole crate: bf642323d6/compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs (L815)
Consequently, "unknown tool" errors were being produced when `allow(foo::bar)` appeared in a submodule, even though `register_tool(foo)` appeared in the crate root.
EDITED: The proposed fix is to obtain the real crate-level attributes in `configure_and_expand` and pass them to `pre_expansion_lint`. (See `@petrochenkov's` [comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/89214#issuecomment-926927072) below.)
The original "prosed fix" text follows.
---
The proposed fix is to add an `error_on_unknown_tool` flag to `LintLevelsBuilder`. The flag controls whether "unknown tool" errors are emitted. The flag is set during late passes, but not earlier.
More specifically, this PR contains two commits:
* The first adds a `known-tool-in-submodule` UI test that does not currently pass.
* The second adds the `error_on_unknown_tool` flag. The new test passes with the addition of this flag.
This change has the added benefit of eliminating some errors that were duplicated in existing tests.
To the reviewer: please check that I implemented the UI test correctly.
