except where trait objects are involved.
Part of issue #15349, though I'm leaving it open for trait objects.
Cross borrowing for trait objects remains because it is needed until we
have DST.
This will break code like:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(a);
Change this code to:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(&*a);

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 reliably 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 reenabled for type descriptions.
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);

With this change, rustc creates a unique type identifier for types in debuginfo. These type identifiers are used by LLVM to correctly handle link-time-optimization scenarios but also help rustc with dealing with inlining from other crates. For more information, see the documentation block at the top of librustc/middle/trans/debuginfo.rs.
Fixes#13681.
So far the DWARF information for enums was different
for regular enums, univariant enums, Option-like enums,
etc. Regular enums were encoded as unions of structs,
while the other variants were encoded as bare structs.
With the changes in this PR all enums are encoded as
unions so that debuggers can reconstruct if something
originally was a struct, a univariant enum, or an
Option-like enum. For the latter case, information
about the Null variant is encoded into the union field
name. This information can then be used by the
debugger to print a None value actually as None
instead of Some(0x0).
This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes
all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely,
folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate
of each function in the `cast` module.
* transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as
#[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute`
function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment).
For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898
* transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is
is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different
sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This
function is now #[stable]
* forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable]
* bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of
managed boxes as well as its questionable utility.
* transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part
of this commit.
* transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it
can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was
removed.
* transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong
indication that code is incorrect in the first place.
* transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as
`transmute_lifetime`
* copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked
`#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in
the future if it is found to not be very useful.
* copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same
treatment as `copy_lifetime`.
* copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today,
and its existence is not necessary with DST
(copy_lifetime will suffice).
In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the
functions were moved to the `mem` module.
