Pass real crate-level attributes to `pre_expansion_lint`
The PR concerns the unstable feature `register_tool` (#66079).
The feature's implementation requires the attributes of the crate being compiled, so that when attributes like `allow(foo::bar)` are encountered, it can be verified that `register_tool(foo)` appears in the crate root.
However, the crate's attributes are not readily available during early lint passes. Specifically, on this line, `krate.attrs` appears to be the attributes of the current source file, not the attributes of the whole crate: bf642323d6/compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs (L815)
Consequently, "unknown tool" errors were being produced when `allow(foo::bar)` appeared in a submodule, even though `register_tool(foo)` appeared in the crate root.
EDITED: The proposed fix is to obtain the real crate-level attributes in `configure_and_expand` and pass them to `pre_expansion_lint`. (See `@petrochenkov's` [comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/89214#issuecomment-926927072) below.)
The original "prosed fix" text follows.
---
The proposed fix is to add an `error_on_unknown_tool` flag to `LintLevelsBuilder`. The flag controls whether "unknown tool" errors are emitted. The flag is set during late passes, but not earlier.
More specifically, this PR contains two commits:
* The first adds a `known-tool-in-submodule` UI test that does not currently pass.
* The second adds the `error_on_unknown_tool` flag. The new test passes with the addition of this flag.
This change has the added benefit of eliminating some errors that were duplicated in existing tests.
To the reviewer: please check that I implemented the UI test correctly.
Avoid invoking the hir_crate query to traverse the HIR
Walking the HIR tree is done using the `hir_crate` query. However, this is unnecessary, since `hir_owner(CRATE_DEF_ID)` provides the same information. Since depending on `hir_crate` forces dependents to always be executed, this leads to unnecessary work.
By splitting HIR and attributes visits, we can avoid an edge to `hir_crate` when trying to visit the HIR tree.
Don't use a generator for BoxedResolver
The generator is non-trivial and requires unsafe code anyway. Using regular unsafe code without a generator is much easier to follow.
Based on #85810 as it touches rustc_interface too.
This commit updates how rustc compiler metadata is stored in rlibs.
Previously metadata was stored as a raw file that has the same format as
`--emit metadata`. After this commit, however, the metadata is encoded
into a small object file which has one section which is the contents of
the metadata.
The motivation for this commit is to fix a common case where #83730
arises. The problem is that when rustc crates a `dylib` crate type it
needs to include entire rlib files into the dylib, so it passes
`--whole-archive` (or the equivalent) to the linker. The problem with
this, though, is that the linker will attempt to read all files in the
archive. If the metadata file were left as-is (today) then the linker
would generate an error saying it can't read the file. The previous
solution was to alter the rlib just before linking, creating a new
archive in a temporary directory which has the metadata file removed.
This problem from before this commit is now removed if the metadata file
is stored in an object file that the linker can read. The only caveat we
have to take care of is to ensure that the linker never actually
includes the contents of the object file into the final output. We apply
similar tricks as the `.llvmbc` bytecode sections to do this.
This involved changing the metadata loading code a bit, namely updating
some of the LLVM C APIs used to use non-deprecated ones and fiddling
with the lifetimes a bit to get everything to work out. Otherwise though
this isn't intended to be a functional change really, only that metadata
is stored differently in archives now.
This should end up fixing #83730 because by default dylibs will no
longer have their rlib dependencies "altered" meaning that
split-debuginfo will continue to have valid paths pointing at the
original rlibs. (note that we still "alter" rlibs if LTO is enabled to
remove Rust object files and we also "alter" for the #[link(cfg)]
feature, but that's rarely used).
Closes#83730
