rustc: Implement the #[global_allocator] attribute This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old `#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it. [RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1974 The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the `#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how this feature is implemented. cc #27389
This directory currently contains some LLVM support code. This will generally be sent upstream to LLVM in time; for now it lives here. NOTE: the LLVM C++ ABI is subject to between-version breakage and must *never* be exposed to Rust. To allow for easy auditing of that, all Rust-exposed types must be typedef-ed as "LLVMXyz", or "LLVMRustXyz" if they were defined here. Functions that return a failure status and leave the error in the LLVM last error should return an LLVMRustResult rather than an int or anything to avoid confusion. When translating enums, add a single `Other` variant as the first one to allow for new variants to be added. It should abort when used as an input. All other types must not be typedef-ed as such.
