Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains
a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code
where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically---
a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation
to some really nasty bugs.
This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident
and a span.
This was causing lots of ICEs in cargo. I sadly wasn't ever able to reduce the
test case down, but I presume that's because it has to do with node id
collisions which are pretty difficult to turn up...
So far, type names generated for debuginfo where a bit sketchy. It was not clearly defined when a name should be fully qualified and when not, if region parameters should be shown or not, and other things like that.
This commit makes the debuginfo module responsible for creating type names instead of using `ppaux::ty_to_str()` and brings type names (as they show up in the DWARF information) in line with GCC and Clang:
* The name of the type being described is unqualified. It's path is defined by its position in the namespace hierarchy.
* Type arguments are always fully qualified, no matter if they would actually be in scope at the type definition location.
Care is also taken to make type names consistent across crate boundaries. That is, the code now tries make the type name the same, regardless if the type is in the local crate or reconstructed from metadata. Otherwise LLVM will complain about violating the one-definition-rule when using link-time-optimization.
This commit also removes all source location information from type descriptions because these cannot be reconstructed for types instantiated from metadata. Again, with LTO enabled, this can lead to two versions of the debuginfo type description, one with and one without source location information, which then triggers the LLVM ODR assertion.
Fortunately, source location information about types is rarely used, so this has little impact. Once source location information is preserved in metadata (#1972) it can also be re-enabled for type descriptions.
`RUSTFLAGS=-g make check` no works again for me locally, including the LTO test cases (note that I've taken care of #15156 by reverting the change in LLVM that @luqmana identified as the culprit for that issue).

floating point numbers for real.
This will break code that looks like:
let mut x = 0;
while ... {
x += 1;
}
println!("{}", x);
Change that code to:
let mut x = 0i;
while ... {
x += 1;
}
println!("{}", x);
Closes#15201.
[breaking-change]
This change registers new snapshots, allowing `*T` to be removed from the language. This is a large breaking change, and it is recommended that if compiler errors are seen that any FFI calls are audited to determine whether they should be actually taking `*mut T`.
The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.
This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

Also change some code formatting.
lint::builtin becomes a sibling of lint::context in order to ensure that lints
implemented there use the same public API as lint plugins.
We're going to have more modules under lint, and the paths get unwieldy. We
also plan to have lints run at multiple points in the compilation pipeline.
The aim of these changes is not working out a generic bi-endianness architectures support but to allow people develop for little endian MIPS machines (issue #7190).
We currently compiled bools to i8 values, because there was a bug in
LLVM that sometimes caused miscompilations when using i1 in, for
example, structs.
Using i8 means a lot of unnecessary zero-extend and truncate operations
though, since we have to convert the value from and to i1 when using for
example icmp or br instructions. Besides the unnecessary overhead caused
by this, it also sometimes made LLVM miss some optimizations.
Fixes#8106.
To fix#8106, we need an LLVM version that contains r211082 aka 0dee6756
which fixes a bug that blocks that issue.
There have been some tiny API changes in LLVM, and cmpxchg changed its
return type. The i1 part of the new return type is only interesting when
using the new weak cmpxchg, which we don't do.
When calling a foreign function, some arguments and/or return value
attributes are required to conform to the foreign ABI. Currently those
attributes are only added to the declaration of foreign functions. With
direct calls, this is no problem, because LLVM can see that those
attributes apply to the call. But with an indirect call, LLVM cannot do
that and the attribute is missing.
To fix that, we have to add those attribute to the calls to foreign
functions as well.
This also allows to remove the special handling of the SRet attribute,
which is ABI-dependent and will be set via the `attr` field of the
return type's `ArgType`.
The ArgType type gives us a generic way to specify an attribute for a
type to ensure ABI conformance for foreign functions. But the code that
actually sets the argument attributes in the function declaration
only sets the attribute for the return type when the type is indirect.
Since LLVMAddAttribute() doesn't allow to set attributes on the return
type, we have to use LLVMAddFunctionAttribute() instead.
This didn't cause problems yet, because currently only some indirect
types require attributes to be set.
Replace its usage with byte string literals, except in `bytes!()` tests.
Also add a new snapshot, to be able to use the new b"foo" syntax.
The src/etc/2014-06-rewrite-bytes-macros.py script automatically
rewrites `bytes!()` invocations into byte string literals.
Pass it filenames as arguments to generate a diff that you can inspect,
or `--apply` followed by filenames to apply the changes in place.
Diffs can be piped into `tip` or `pygmentize -l diff` for coloring.
Fixes a codegen bug which generates illegal non-terminated LLVM block
when there are wildcard pattern with guard and enum patterns in a match
expression. Also refactors the code a little.
Closes#14865
See #14646 (tracking issue) and rust-lang/rfcs#69.
This does not close the tracking issue, as the `bytes!()` macro still needs to be removed. It will be later, after a snapshot is made with the changes in this PR, so that the new syntax can be used when bootstrapping the compiler.

[breaking-change] lifetime parameters in `&mut trait` are now invariant. They used to be contravariant.
`#[inline(never)]` is used.

This can break some code that relied on the addresses of statics
being distinct; add `#[inline(never)]` to the affected statics.
[breaking-change]
So far handling some indirectly recursive types, such as pointer types, has relied on LLVM metadata uniquing in a very implicit way. This could cause some inconsistencies in the debuginfo, and sometimes to hard to trace LLVM assertions.
With this commit unique type IDs and the TypeMap are used to explicitly make sure that no inconsistencies exist, and, if in the future some regression re-introduces one, give a better error message instead of the hard-to-interpret LLVM error.
