Found with https://github.com/est31/warnalyzer.
Dubious changes:
- Is anyone else using rustc_apfloat? I feel weird completely deleting
x87 support.
- Maybe some of the dead code in rustc_data_structures, in case someone
wants to use it in the future?
- Don't change rustc_serialize
I plan to scrap most of the json module in the near future (see
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/418) and fixing the
tests needed more work than I expected.
TODO: check if any of the comments on the deleted code should be kept.
StructField -> FieldDef ("field definition")
Field -> ExprField ("expression field", not "field expression")
FieldPat -> PatField ("pattern field", not "field pattern")
Also rename visiting and other methods working on them.
Serialize dependency graph directly from DepGraph
Reduce memory usage by serializing dep graph directly from `DepGraph`,
rather than copying it into `SerializedDepGraph` and serializing that.
Remove much of the special-case handling around crate metadata
dependency tracking by replacing `DepKind::CrateMetadata` and the
pre-allocation of corresponding `DepNodes` with on-demand invocation
of the `crate_hash` query.
Reduce a large memory spike that happens during serialization by writing
the incr comp structures to file by way of a fixed-size buffer, rather
than an unbounded vector.
Effort was made to keep the instruction count close to that of the
previous implementation. However, buffered writing to a file inherently
has more overhead than writing to a vector, because each write may
result in a handleable error. To reduce this overhead, arrangements are
made so that each LEB128-encoded integer can be written to the buffer
with only one capacity and error check. Higher-level optimizations in
which entire composite structures can be written with one capacity and
error check are possible, but would require much more work.
The performance is mostly on par with the previous implementation, with
small to moderate instruction count regressions. The memory reduction is
significant, however, so it seems like a worth-while trade-off.
This also eliminates a use of a `Path` convenience function, in support
of #80741, refactoring `std::path` to focus on pure data structures and
algorithms.
Implement lazy decoding of DefPathTable during incremental compilation
PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75813 implemented lazy decoding of the `DefPathTable` from crate metadata. However, it requires decoding the entire `DefPathTable` when incremental compilation is active, so that we can map a decoded `DefPathHash` to a `DefId` from an arbitrary crate.
This PR adds support for lazy decoding of dependency `DefPathTable`s when incremental compilation si active.
When we load the incremental cache and dep
graph, we need the ability to map a `DefPathHash` to a `DefId` in the
current compilation session (if the corresponding definition still
exists).
This is accomplished by storing the old `DefId` (that is, the `DefId`
from the previous compilation session) for each `DefPathHash` we need to
remap. Since a `DefPathHash` includes the owning crate, the old crate is
guaranteed to be the right one (if the definition still exists). We then
use the old `DefIndex` as an initial guess, which we validate by
comparing the expected and actual `DefPathHash`es. In most cases,
foreign crates will be completely unchanged, which means that we our
guess will be correct. If our guess is wrong, we fall back to decoding
the entire `DefPathTable` for the foreign crate. This still represents
an improvement over the status quo, since we can skip decoding the
entire `DefPathTable` for other crates (where all of our guesses were
correct).
The main change is that `UnstableOptions::from_environment` now requires
an (optional) crate name. If the crate name is unknown (`None`), then the new feature is not available and you still have to use `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1`. In practice this means the feature is only available for `--crate-name`, not for `#![crate_name]`; I'm interested in supporting the second but I'm not sure how.
Other major changes:
- Added `Session::is_nightly_build()`, which uses the `crate_name` of
the session
- Added `nightly_options::match_is_nightly_build`, a convenience method
for looking up `--crate-name` from CLI arguments.
`Session::is_nightly_build()`should be preferred where possible, since
it will take into account `#![crate_name]` (I think).
- Added `unstable_features` to `rustdoc::RenderOptions`
There is a user-facing change here: things like `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=0` no
longer active nightly features. In practice this shouldn't be a big
deal, since `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP` is the opposite of stable and everyone
uses `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1` anyway.
- Add tests
Check against `Cheat`, not whether nightly features are allowed.
Nightly features are always allowed on the nightly channel.
- Only call `is_nightly_build()` once within a function
- Use booleans consistently for rustc_incremental
Sessions can't be passed through threads, so `read_file` couldn't take a
session. To be consistent, also take a boolean in `write_file_header`.
