Remove `box_syntax`
r? `@Nilstrieb`
This removes the feature `box_syntax`, which allows the use of `box <expr>` to create a Box, and finalises removing use of the feature from the compiler. `box_patterns` (allowing the use of `box <pat>` in a pattern) is unaffected.
It also removes `ast::ExprKind::Box` - the only way to create a 'box' expression now is with the rustc-internal `#[rustc_box]` attribute.
As a temporary measure to help users move away, `box <expr>` now parses the inner expression, and emits a `MachineApplicable` lint to replace it with `Box::new`
Closes#49733
(This is a large commit. The changes to
`compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/context.rs` are the most important ones.)
The current naming scheme is a mess, with a mix of `_intern_`, `intern_`
and `mk_` prefixes, with little consistency. In particular, in many
cases it's easy to use an iterator interner when a (preferable) slice
interner is available.
The guiding principles of the new naming system:
- No `_intern_` prefixes.
- The `intern_` prefix is for internal operations.
- The `mk_` prefix is for external operations.
- For cases where there is a slice interner and an iterator interner,
the former is `mk_foo` and the latter is `mk_foo_from_iter`.
Also, `slice_interners!` and `direct_interners!` can now be `pub` or
non-`pub`, which helps enforce the internal/external operations
division.
It's not perfect, but I think it's a clear improvement.

There is a distinction between running this on wasm and i686, even though they should be
identical. This technically is not _incorrect_, it's just an unexpected difference, which is
worth investigating, but not for correctness.
Currently, deriving on packed structs has some non-trivial limitations,
related to the fact that taking references on unaligned fields is UB.
The current approach to field accesses in derived code:
- Normal case: `&self.0`
- In a packed struct that derives `Copy`: `&{self.0}`
- In a packed struct that doesn't derive `Copy`: `&self.0`
Plus, we disallow deriving any builtin traits other than `Default` for any
packed generic type, because it's possible that there might be
misaligned fields. This is a fairly broad restriction.
Plus, we disallow deriving any builtin traits other than `Default` for most
packed types that don't derive `Copy`. (The exceptions are those where the
alignments inherently satisfy the packing, e.g. in a type with
`repr(packed(N))` where all the fields have alignments of `N` or less
anyway. Such types are pretty strange, because the `packed` attribute is
not having any effect.)
This commit introduces a new, simpler approach to field accesses:
- Normal case: `&self.0`
- In a packed struct: `&{self.0}`
In the latter case, this requires that all fields impl `Copy`, which is
a new restriction. This means that the following example compiles under
the old approach and doesn't compile under the new approach.
```
#[derive(Debug)]
struct NonCopy(u8);
#[derive(Debug)
#[repr(packed)]
struct MyType(NonCopy);
```
(Note that the old approach's support for cases like this was brittle.
Changing the `u8` to a `u16` would be enough to stop it working. So not
much capability is lost here.)
However, the other constraints from the old rules are removed. We can now
derive builtin traits for packed generic structs like this:
```
trait Trait { type A; }
#[derive(Hash)]
#[repr(packed)]
pub struct Foo<T: Trait>(T, T::A);
```
To allow this, we add a `T: Copy` bound in the derived impl and a `T::A:
Copy` bound in where clauses. So `T` and `T::A` must impl `Copy`.
We can now also derive builtin traits for packed structs that don't derive
`Copy`, so long as the fields impl `Copy`:
```
#[derive(Hash)]
#[repr(packed)]
pub struct Foo(u32);
```
This includes types that hand-impl `Copy` rather than deriving it, such as the
following, that show up in winapi-0.2:
```
#[derive(Clone)]
#[repr(packed)]
struct MyType(i32);
impl Copy for MyType {}
```
The new approach is simpler to understand and implement, and it avoids
the need for the `unsafe_derive_on_repr_packed` check.
One exception is required for backwards-compatibility: we allow `[u8]`
fields for now. There is a new lint for this,
`byte_slice_in_packed_struct_with_derive`.
Implement simple CopyPropagation based on SSA analysis
This PR extracts the "copy propagation" logic from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106285.
MIR may produce chains of assignment between locals, like `_x = move? _y`.
This PR attempts to remove such chains by unifying locals.
The current implementation is a bit overzealous in turning moves into copies, and in removing storage statements.
Use stable metric for const eval limit instead of current terminator-based logic
This patch adds a `MirPass` that inserts a new MIR instruction `ConstEvalCounter` to any loops and function calls in the CFG. This instruction is used during Const Eval to count against the `const_eval_limit`, and emit the `StepLimitReached` error, replacing the current logic which uses Terminators only.
The new method of counting loops and function calls should be more stable across compiler versions (i.e., not cause crates that compiled successfully before, to no longer compile when changes to the MIR generation/optimization are made).
Also see: #103877
This patch adds a `MirPass` that tracks the number of back-edges and
function calls in the CFG, adds a new MIR instruction to increment a
counter every time they are encountered during Const Eval, and emit a
warning if a configured limit is breached.
Record `LocalDefId` in HIR nodes instead of a side table
This is part of an attempt to remove the `HirId -> LocalDefId` table from HIR.
This attempt is a prerequisite to creation of `LocalDefId` after HIR lowering (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96840), by controlling how `def_id` information is accessed.
This first part adds the information to HIR nodes themselves instead of a table.
The second part is https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103902
The third part will be to make `hir::Visitor::visit_fn` take a `LocalDefId` as last parameter.
The fourth part will be to completely remove the side table.
indirect immutable freeze by-value function parameters.
Right now, `rustc` only examines function signatures and the platform ABI when
determining the LLVM attributes to apply to parameters. This results in missed
optimizations, because there are some attributes that can be determined via
analysis of the MIR making up the function body. In particular, `readonly`
could be applied to most indirectly-passed by-value function arguments
(specifically, those that are freeze and are observed not to be mutated), but
it currently is not.
This patch introduces the machinery that allows `rustc` to determine those
attributes. It consists of a query, `deduced_param_attrs`, that, when
evaluated, analyzes the MIR of the function to determine supplementary
attributes. The results of this query for each function are written into the
crate metadata so that the deduced parameter attributes can be applied to
cross-crate functions. In this patch, we simply check the parameter for
mutations to determine whether the `readonly` attribute should be applied to
parameters that are indirect immutable freeze by-value. More attributes could
conceivably be deduced in the future: `nocapture` and `noalias` come to mind.
Adding `readonly` to indirect function parameters where applicable enables some
potential optimizations in LLVM that are discussed in [issue 103103] and [PR
103070] around avoiding stack-to-stack memory copies that appear in functions
like `core::fmt::Write::write_fmt` and `core::panicking::assert_failed`. These
functions pass a large structure unchanged by value to a subfunction that also
doesn't mutate it. Since the structure in this case is passed as an indirect
parameter, it's a pointer from LLVM's perspective. As a result, the
intermediate copy of the structure that our codegen emits could be optimized
away by LLVM's MemCpyOptimizer if it knew that the pointer is `readonly
nocapture noalias` in both the caller and callee. We already pass `nocapture
noalias`, but we're missing `readonly`, as we can't determine whether a
by-value parameter is mutated by examining the signature in Rust. I didn't have
much success with having LLVM infer the `readonly` attribute, even with fat
LTO; it seems that deducing it at the MIR level is necessary.
No large benefits should be expected from this optimization *now*; LLVM needs
some changes (discussed in [PR 103070]) to more aggressively use the `noalias
nocapture readonly` combination in its alias analysis. I have some LLVM patches
for these optimizations and have had them looked over. With all the patches
applied locally, I enabled LLVM to remove all the `memcpy`s from the following
code:
```rust
fn main() {
println!("Hello {}", 3);
}
```
which is a significant codegen improvement over the status quo. I expect that
if this optimization kicks in in multiple places even for such a simple
program, then it will apply to Rust code all over the place.
