Insert alignment checks for pointer dereferences when debug assertions are enabled Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54915 - [x] Jake tells me this sounds like a place to use `MirPatch`, but I can't figure out how to insert a new basic block with a new terminator in the middle of an existing basic block, using `MirPatch`. (if nobody else backs up this point I'm checking this as "not actually a good idea" because the code looks pretty clean to me after rearranging it a bit) - [x] Using `CastKind::PointerExposeAddress` is definitely wrong, we don't want to expose. Calling a function to get the pointer address seems quite excessive. ~I'll see if I can add a new `CastKind`.~ `CastKind::Transmute` to the rescue! - [x] Implement a more helpful panic message like slice bounds checking. r? `@oli-obk`
This folder contains tests for MIR optimizations.
The mir-opt test format emits MIR to extra files that you can automatically update by specifying
--bless on the command line (just like ui tests updating .stderr files).
--blessable test format
By default 32 bit and 64 bit targets use the same dump files, which can be problematic in the presence of pointers in constants or other bit width dependent things. In that case you can add
// EMIT_MIR_FOR_EACH_BIT_WIDTH
to your test, causing separate files to be generated for 32bit and 64bit systems.
Unit testing
If you are only testing the behavior of a particular mir-opt pass on some specific input (as is usually the case), you should add
// unit-test: PassName
to the top of the file. This makes sure that other passes don't run which means you'll get the input you expected and your test won't break when other code changes.
Emit a diff of the mir for a specific optimization
This is what you want most often when you want to see how an optimization changes the MIR.
// EMIT_MIR $file_name_of_some_mir_dump.diff
Emit mir after a specific optimization
Use this if you are just interested in the final state after an optimization.
// EMIT_MIR $file_name_of_some_mir_dump.after.mir
Emit mir before a specific optimization
This exists mainly for completeness and is rarely useful.
// EMIT_MIR $file_name_of_some_mir_dump.before.mir
