This option guards the logic of writing long type names in files and
instead using short forms in error messages in rustc_middle/ty/error
behind a flag. The main motivation for this change is to disable this
behaviour when running ui tests.
This logic can be triggered by running tests in a directory that has a
long enough path, e.g. /my/very-long-path/where/rust-codebase/exists/
This means ui tests can fail depending on how long the path to their
file is.
Some ui tests actually rely on this behaviour for their assertions,
so for those we enable the flag manually.
Prototype: Add unstable `-Z reference-niches` option
MCP: rust-lang/compiler-team#641
Relevant RFC: rust-lang/rfcs#3204
This prototype adds a new `-Z reference-niches` option, controlling the range of valid bit-patterns for reference types (`&T` and `&mut T`), thereby enabling new enum niching opportunities. Like `-Z randomize-layout`, this setting is crate-local; as such, references to built-in types (primitives, tuples, ...) are not affected.
The possible settings are (here, `MAX` denotes the all-1 bit-pattern):
| `-Z reference-niches=` | Valid range |
|:---:|:---:|
| `null` (the default) | `1..=MAX` |
| `size` | `1..=(MAX- size)` |
| `align` | `align..=MAX.align_down_to(align)` |
| `size,align` | `align..=(MAX-size).align_down_to(align)` |
------
This is very WIP, and I'm not sure the approach I've taken here is the best one, but stage 1 tests pass locally; I believe this is in a good enough state to unleash this upon unsuspecting 3rd-party code, and see what breaks.
Use SHA256 source file checksums by default when targeting MSVC
Currently, when targeting Windows (more specifically, the MSVC toolchain), Rust will use SHA1 source file checksums by default. SHA1 has been superseded by SHA256, and Microsoft recommends migrating to SHA256.
As of Visual Studio 2022, MSVC defaults to SHA256. This change aligns Rust and MSVC.
LLVM can already use SHA256 checksums, so this does not require any change to LLVM.

Support `--print KIND=PATH` command line syntax
As is already done for `--emit KIND=PATH` and `-L KIND=PATH`.
In the discussion of #110785, it was pointed out that `--print KIND=PATH` is nicer than trying to apply the single global `-o` path to `--print`'s output, because in general there can be multiple print requests within a single rustc invocation, and anyway `-o` would already be used for a different meaning in the case of `link-args` and `native-static-libs`.
I am interested in using `--print cfg=PATH` in Buck2. Currently Buck2 works around the lack of support for `--print KIND=PATH` by [indirecting through a Python wrapper script](d43cf3a51a/prelude/rust/tools/get_rustc_cfg.py) to redirect rustc's stdout into the location dictated by the build system.
From skimming Cargo's usages of `--print`, it definitely seems like it would benefit from `--print KIND=PATH` too. Currently it is working around the lack of this by inserting `--crate-name=___ --print=crate-name` so that it can look for a line containing `___` as a delimiter between the 2 other `--print` informations it actually cares about. This is commented as a "HACK" and "abuse". 31eda6f7c3/src/cargo/core/compiler/build_context/target_info.rs (L242) (FYI `@weihanglo` as you dealt with this recently in https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11633.)

On nightly, dump ICE backtraces to disk
Implement rust-lang/compiler-team#578.
When an ICE is encountered on nightly releases, the new rustc panic handler will also write the contents of the backtrace to disk. If any `delay_span_bug`s are encountered, their backtrace is also added to the file. The platform and rustc version will also be collected.

The current behavior will *always* write to disk on nightly builds, regardless of whether the backtrace is printed to the terminal, unless the environment variable `RUSTC_ICE_DISK_DUMP` is set to `0`. This is a compromise and can be changed.

Add simple markdown formatting to `rustc --explain` output
This is a second attempt at #104540, which is #63128 without dependencies.
This PR adds basic markdown formatting to `rustc --explain` output when available. Currently, the output just displays raw markdown: this works of course, but it really doesn't look very elegant. (output is `rustc --explain E0038`)
<img width="583" alt="image" src="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/assets/13724985/ea418117-47af-455b-83c0-6fc59276efee">

This also obeys the `--color always/auto/never` command option. Behavior:
- If pager is available and supports color, print with formatting to the pager
- If pager is not available or fails print with formatting to stdout - otherwise without formatting

add flag for enabling global cache usage for proof trees and printing proof trees on error
This adds a few new things:
- `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree=always/never/on-error`
- `always`/`never` were previosuly specifiable by whether the flag exists or not, th new flag is `on_error` which reruns obligations of fulfillment and selection errors with proof tree generation enabled and prints them out
- `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree-uses-cache`
- allows forcing global cache to be used or unused for all generated proof trees, global cache is enabled by default for `always` so that it accurately represents what happend. This flag currently would affect misc uses of `GenerateProofTree::Yes` which will be added in the future for things like diagnostics logic and rustdoc's auto_trait file. We can fix this when we start using proof tree generation for those use cases if it's desirable.
I also changed the output to go straight to stdout instead of going through `debug!` so that `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree` can be adequately used on `nightly` not just a locally built toolchain.
The idea for `on-error` is that it should hopefully make it easier to quickly figure out "why doesnt this code compile"- you just pass in `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree=on-error` and you'll only get proof trees you care about.

r? `@lcnr` `@compiler-errors`
Currently, the output of `rustc --explain foo` displays the raw markdown in a
pager. This is acceptable, but using actual formatting makes it easier to
understand.
This patch consists of three major components:
1. A markdown parser. This is an extremely simple non-backtracking recursive
implementation that requires normalization of the final token stream
2. A utility to write the token stream to an output buffer
3. Configuration within rustc_driver_impl to invoke this combination for
`--explain`. Like the current implementation, it first attempts to print to
a pager with a fallback colorized terminal, and standard print as a last
resort.
If color is disabled, or if the output does not support it, or if printing
with color fails, it will write the raw markdown (which matches current
behavior).
Pagers known to support color are: `less` (with `-r`), `bat` (aka `catbat`),
and `delta`.
The markdown parser does not support the entire markdown specification, but
should support the following with reasonable accuracy:
- Headings, including formatting
- Comments
- Code, inline and fenced block (no indented block)
- Strong, emphasis, and strikethrough formatted text
- Links, anchor, inline, and reference-style
- Horizontal rules
- Unordered and ordered list items, including formatting
This parser and writer should be reusable by other systems if ever needed.
Add `-Zremark-dir` unstable flag to write LLVM optimization remarks to YAML
This PR adds an option for `rustc` to emit LLVM optimization remarks to a set of YAML files, which can then be digested by existing tools, like https://github.com/OfekShilon/optview2. When `-Cremark-dir` is passed, and remarks are enabled (`-Cremark=all`), the remarks will be now written to the specified directory, **instead** of being printed to standard error output. The files are named based on the CGU from which they are being generated.
Currently, the remarks are written using the LLVM streaming machinery, directly in the diagnostics handler. It seemed easier than going back to Rust and then form there back to C++ to use the streamer from the diagnostics handler. But there are many ways to implement this, of course, so I'm open to suggestions :)
I included some comments with questions into the code. Also, I'm not sure how to test this.

linker flavors
- only the stable values for `-Clink-self-contained` can be used on stable until we
have more feedback on the interface
- `-Zunstable-options` is required to use unstable linker flavors
Per the discussion in #106380 plt=no isn't a great default, and
rust-lang/compiler-team#581 decided that the default should be PLT=yes
for everything except x86_64. Not everyone agrees about the x86_64 part
of this change, but this at least is an improvement in the state of
things without changing the x86_64 situation, so I've attempted making
this change in the name of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the
good.
Collect VTable stats & add `-Zprint-vtable-sizes`
This is a bit hacky/buggy, but I'm not entirely sure how to fix it, so I want to ask reviewers for help...
To try this, use either of those:
- `cargo clean && RUSTFLAGS="-Zprint-vtable-sizes" cargo +toolchain b`
- `cargo clean && cargo rustc +toolchain -Zprint-vtable-sizes`
- `rustc +toolchain -Zprint-vtable-sizes ./file.rs`
Because tiny CGUs make compilation less efficient *and* result in worse
generated code.
We don't do this when the number of CGUs is explicitly given, because
there are times when the requested number is very important, as
described in some comments within the commit. So the commit also
introduces a `CodegenUnits` type that distinguishes between default
values and user-specified values.
This change has a roughly neutral effect on walltimes across the
rustc-perf benchmarks; there are some speedups and some slowdowns. But
it has significant wins for most other metrics on numerous benchmarks,
including instruction counts, cycles, binary size, and max-rss. It also
reduces parallelism, which is good for reducing jobserver competition
when multiple rustc processes are running at the same time. It's smaller
benchmarks that benefit the most; larger benchmarks already have CGUs
that are all larger than the minimum size.
Here are some example before/after CGU sizes for opt builds.
- html5ever
- CGUs: 16, mean size: 1196.1, sizes: [3908, 2992, 1706, 1652, 1572,
1136, 1045, 948, 946, 938, 579, 471, 443, 327, 286, 189]
- CGUs: 4, mean size: 4396.0, sizes: [6706, 3908, 3490, 3480]
- libc
- CGUs: 12, mean size: 35.3, sizes: [163, 93, 58, 53, 37, 8, 2 (x6)]
- CGUs: 1, mean size: 424.0, sizes: [424]
- tt-muncher
- CGUs: 5, mean size: 1819.4, sizes: [8508, 350, 198, 34, 7]
- CGUs: 1, mean size: 9075.0, sizes: [9075]
Note that CGUs of size 100,000+ aren't unusual in larger programs.
Write to stdout if `-` is given as output file
With this PR, if `-o -` or `--emit KIND=-` is provided, output will be written to stdout instead. Binary output (those of type `obj`, `llvm-bc`, `link` and `metadata`) being written this way will result in an error unless stdout is not a tty. Multiple output types going to stdout will trigger an error too, as they will all be mixded together.
This implements https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/431
The idea behind the changes is to introduce an `OutFileName` enum that represents the output - be it a real path or stdout - and to use this enum along the code paths that handle different output types.
Removed use of iteration through a HashMap/HashSet in rustc_incremental and replaced with IndexMap/IndexSet
This allows for the `#[allow(rustc::potential_query_instability)]` in rustc_incremental to be removed, moving towards fixing #84447 (although a LOT more modules have to be changed to fully resolve it). Only HashMaps/HashSets that are being iterated through have been modified (although many structs and traits outside of rustc_incremental had to be modified as well, as they had fields/methods that involved a HashMap/HashSet that would be iterated through)
I'm making a PR for just 1 module changed to test for performance regressions and such, for future changes I'll either edit this PR to reflect additional modules being converted, or batch multiple modules of changes together and make a PR for each group of modules.

Replace const eval limit by a lint and add an exponential backoff warning
The lint triggers at the first power of 2 that comes after 1 million function calls or traversed back-edges (takes less than a second on usual programs). After the first emission, an unsilenceable warning is repeated at every following power of 2 terminators, causing it to get reported less and less the longer the evaluation runs.

linker: Report linker flavors incompatible with the current target
The linker flavor is checked for target compatibility even if linker is never used (e.g. we are producing a rlib).
If it causes trouble, we can move the check to `link.rs` so it will run if the linker (flavor) is actually used.
And also feature gate explicitly specifying linker flavors for tier 3 targets.
The next step is supporting all the internal linker flavors in user-visible interfaces (command line and json).
Stop normalizing so many different prefixes

Remove `-Zcgu-partitioning-strategy`.
This option was introduced three years ago, but it's never been meaningfully used, and `default` is the only acceptable value.
Also, I think the `Partition` trait presents an interface that is too closely tied to the existing strategy and would probably be wrong for other strategies. (My rule of thumb is to not make something generic until there are at least two instances of it, to avoid this kind of problem.)
Also, I don't think providing multiple partitioning strategies to the user is a good idea, because the compiler already has enough obscure knobs.
This commit removes the option, along with the `Partition` trait, and the `Partitioner` and `DefaultPartitioning` types. I left the existing code in `compiler/rustc_monomorphize/src/partitioning/default.rs`, though I could be persuaded that moving it into

Each of `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}` has a comment:
```
// FIXME(davidtwco): can a `Cow<'static, str>` be used here?
```
This commit answers that question in the affirmative. It's not the most
compelling change ever, but it might be worth merging.
This requires changing the `impl<'a> From<&'a str>` impls to `impl
From<&'static str>`, which involves a bunch of knock-on changes that
require/result in call sites being a little more precise about exactly
what kind of string they use to create errors, and not just `&str`. This
will result in fewer unnecessary allocations, though this will not have
any notable perf effects given that these are error paths.
Note that I was lazy within Clippy, using `to_string` in a few places to
preserve the existing string imprecision. I could have used `impl
Into<{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage>` in various places as is done in the
compiler, but that would have required changes to *many* call sites
(mostly changing `&format("...")` to `format!("...")`) which didn't seem
worthwhile.

SafeStack support is enabled by passing `-Zsanitizer=safestack`.

Error message all end up passing into a function as an `impl

`&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`).

Support linking to rust dylib with --crate-type staticlib
This allows for example dynamically linking libstd, while statically linking the user crate into an executable or C dynamic library. For this two unstable flags (`-Z staticlib-allow-rdylib-deps` and `-Z staticlib-prefer-dynamic`) are introduced. Without the former you get an error. The latter is the equivalent to `-C prefer-dynamic` for the staticlib crate type to indicate that dynamically linking is preferred when both options are available, like for libstd. Care must be taken to ensure that no crate ends up being merged into two distinct staticlibs that are linked together. Doing so will cause a linker error at best and undefined behavior at worst. In addition two distinct staticlibs compiled by different rustc may not be combined under any circumstances due to some rustc private symbols not being mangled.
To successfully link a staticlib, `--print native-static-libs` can be used while compiling to ask rustc for the linker flags necessary when linking the staticlib. This is an existing flag which previously only listed native libraries. It has been extended to list rust dylibs too. Trying to locate libstd yourself to link against it is not supported and may break if for example the libstd of multiple rustc versions are put in the same directory.
For an example on how to use this see the `src/test/run-make-fulldeps/staticlib-dylib-linkage/` test.
Add `force` option for `--extern` flag
When `--extern force:foo=libfoo.so` is passed to `rustc` and `foo` is not actually used in the crate, ~inject an `extern crate foo;` statement into the AST~ force it to be resolved anyway in `CrateLoader::postprocess()`. This allows you to, for instance, inject a `#[panic_handler]` implementation into a `#![no_std]` crate without modifying its source so that it can be built as a `dylib`. It may also be useful for `#![panic_runtime]` or `#[global_allocator]`/`#![default_lib_allocator]` implementations.
My work previously involved integrating Rust into an existing C/C++ codebase which was built with Buck and shipped on, among other platforms, Android. When targeting Android, Buck builds all "native" code with shared linkage* so it can be loaded from Java/Kotlin. My project was not itself `#![no_std]`, but many of our dependencies were, and they would fail to build with shared linkage due to a lack of a panic handler. With this change, that project can add the new `force` option to the `std` dependency it already explicitly provides to every crate to solve this problem.
*This is an oversimplification - Buck has a couple features for aggregating dependencies into larger shared libraries, but none that I think sustainably solve this problem.
~The AST injection happens after macro expansion around where we similarly inject a test harness and proc-macro harness. The resolver's list of actually-used extern flags is populated during macro expansion, and if any of our `--extern` arguments have the `force` option and weren't already used, we inject an `extern crate` statement for them. The injection logic was added in `rustc_builtin_macros` as that's where similar injections for tests, proc-macros, and std/core already live.~

Stabilize raw-dylib, link_ordinal, import_name_type and -Cdlltool
This stabilizes the `raw-dylib` feature (#58713) for all architectures (i.e., `x86` as it is already stable for all other architectures).
Changes:
* Permit the use of the `raw-dylib` link kind for x86, the `link_ordinal` attribute and the `import_name_type` key for the `link` attribute.
* Mark the `raw_dylib` feature as stable.
* Stabilized the `-Zdlltool` argument as `-Cdlltool`.
* Note the path to `dlltool` if invoking it failed (we don't need to do this if `dlltool` returns an error since it prints its path in the error message).
* Adds tests for `-Cdlltool`.
* Adds tests for being unable to find the dlltool executable, and dlltool failing.
* Fixes a bug where we were checking the exit code of dlltool to see if it failed, but dlltool always returns 0 (indicating success), so instead we need to check if anything was written to `stderr`.
NOTE: As previously noted (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104218#issuecomment-1315895618) using dlltool within rustc is temporary, but this is not the first time that Rust has added a temporary tool use and argument: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104218#issuecomment-1318720482
Big thanks to ``````@tbu-`````` for the first version of this PR (#104218)
Improve check-cfg implementation
This PR makes multiple improvements into the implementation of check-cfg, it is a prerequisite to a follow-up PR that will introduce a simpler and more explicit syntax.
The 2 main area of improvements are:
1. Internal representation of expected values:
- now uses `FxHashSet<Option<Symbol>>` instead of `FxHashSet<Symbol>`, it made the no value expected case only possible when no values where in the `HashSet` which is now represented as `None` (same as cfg represent-it).
- a enum with `Some` and `Any` makes it now clear if some values are expected or not, necessary for `feature` and `target_feature`.
2. Diagnostics: Improve the diagnostics in multiple case and fix case where a missing value could have had a new name suggestion instead of the value diagnostic; and some drive by improvements
I highly recommend reviewing commit by commit.
