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.
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.
Part of #20013
[breaking-change]
Back when for-loop iteration variables were just de-sugared into `let` bindings, debuginfo for them was created like for any other `let` binding. When the implementation approach for for-loops changed, we ceased having debuginfo for the iteration variable. This PR fixes this omission and adds a more prominent test case for it.
Also contains some minor, general cleanup of the debuginfo module.
Fixes#19732
#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.
One negative side-effect of this change is that there might be quite a bit of copying strings out of the codemap, i.e. one copy for every block that gets translated, just for taking a look at the last character of the block. If this turns out to cause a performance problem then `CodeMap::span_to_snippet()` could be changed return `Option<&str>` instead of `Option<String>`.
