previously field ordering was using the same seed for all instances of Foo,
now we pass seed values through the layout tree so that not only
the struct itself affects layout but also its fields
The initial naming of "Abi" was an awful mistake, conveying wrong ideas
about how psABIs worked and even more about what the enum meant.
It was only meant to represent the way the value would be described to
a codegen backend as it was lowered to that intermediate representation.
It was never meant to mean anything about the actual psABI handling!
The conflation is because LLVM typically will associate a certain form
with a certain ABI, but even that does not hold when the special cases
that actually exist arise, plus the IR annotations that modify the ABI.
Reframe `rustc_abi::Abi` as the `BackendRepr` of the type, and rename
`BackendRepr::Aggregate` as `BackendRepr::Memory`. Unfortunately, due to
the persistent misunderstandings, this too is now incorrect:
- Scattered ABI-relevant code is entangled with BackendRepr
- We do not always pre-compute a correct BackendRepr that reflects how
we "actually" want this value to be handled, so we leave the backend
interface to also inject various special-cases here
- In some cases `BackendRepr::Memory` is a "real" aggregate, but in
others it is in fact using memory, and in some cases it is a scalar!
Our rustc-to-backend lowering code handles this sort of thing right now.
That will eventually be addressed by lifting duplicated lowering code
to either rustc_codegen_ssa or rustc_target as appropriate.
Add `LayoutS::is_uninhabited` and use it
Use accessors for the things that accessors are good at: reducing everyone's need to be nosy and peek at the internals of every data structure.
For structs that cannot be unsized, the layout algorithm sometimes moves
unsized fields to the end of the struct, which circumvented the error
for unexpected unsized fields and returned an unsized layout anyway.
This commit makes it so that the unexpected unsized error is always
returned for structs that cannot be unsized, allowing us to remove an
old hack and fixing some old ICE.
Disable dead variant removal for `#[repr(C)]` enums.
This prevents removing dead branches from a `#[repr(C)]` enum (they now get discriminants allocated as if they were inhabited).
Implementation notes: ABI of something like
```rust
#[repr(C)]
enum Foo {
Foo(!),
}
```
is still `Uninhabited`, but its layout is now computed as if all the branches were inhabited.
This seemed to me like a proper way to do it, especially given that ABI sanity check explicitly asserts that type-level uninhabitedness implies ABI uninhabitedness.
This probably needs some sort of FCP (given that it changes `#[repr(C)]` layout, which is a stable guarantee), but I’m not sure how to call for one or which team is the most relevant.

Represent `Result<usize, Box<T>>` as ScalarPair(i64, ptr)
This allows types like `Result<usize, std::io::Error>` (and integers of differing sign, e.g. `Result<u64, i64>`) to be passed in a pair of registers instead of through memory, like `Result<u64, u64>` or `Result<Box<T>, Box<U>>` are today.
Fixes#97540.
r? `@ghost`
From `impl Into<DiagnosticMessage>` to `impl Into<Cow<'static, str>>`.
Because these functions don't produce user-facing output and we don't
want their strings to be translated.
