Error codes are integers, but `String` is used everywhere to represent
them. Gross!
This commit introduces `ErrCode`, an integral newtype for error codes,
replacing `String`. It also introduces a constant for every error code,
e.g. `E0123`, and removes the `error_code!` macro. The constants are
imported wherever used with `use rustc_errors::codes::*`.
With the old code, we have three different ways to specify an error code
at a use point:
```
error_code!(E0123) // macro call
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // bare ident arg to macro call
\#[diag(name, code = "E0123")] // string
struct Diag;
```
With the new code, they all use the `E0123` constant.
```
E0123 // constant
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // constant
\#[diag(name, code = E0123)] // constant
struct Diag;
```
The commit also changes the structure of the error code definitions:
- `rustc_error_codes` now just defines a higher-order macro listing the
used error codes and nothing else.
- Because that's now the only thing in the `rustc_error_codes` crate, I
moved it into the `lib.rs` file and removed the `error_codes.rs` file.
- `rustc_errors` uses that macro to define everything, e.g. the error
code constants and the `DIAGNOSTIC_TABLES`. This is in its new
`codes.rs` file.
`Diagnostic::code` has the type `DiagnosticId`, which has `Error` and
`Lint` variants. Plus `Diagnostic::is_lint` is a bool, which should be
redundant w.r.t. `Diagnostic::code`.
Seems simple. Except it's possible for a lint to have an error code, in
which case its `code` field is recorded as `Error`, and `is_lint` is
required to indicate that it's a lint. This is what happens with
`derive(LintDiagnostic)` lints. Which means those lints don't have a
lint name or a `has_future_breakage` field because those are stored in
the `DiagnosticId::Lint`.
It's all a bit messy and confused and seems unintentional.
This commit:
- removes `DiagnosticId`;
- changes `Diagnostic::code` to `Option<String>`, which means both
errors and lints can straightforwardly have an error code;
- changes `Diagnostic::is_lint` to `Option<IsLint>`, where `IsLint` is a
new type containing a lint name and a `has_future_breakage` bool, so
all lints can have those, error code or not.
In #119606 I added them and used a `_mv` suffix, but that wasn't great.
A `with_` prefix has three different existing uses.
- Constructors, e.g. `Vec::with_capacity`.
- Wrappers that provide an environment to execute some code, e.g.
`with_session_globals`.
- Consuming chaining methods, e.g. `Span::with_{lo,hi,ctxt}`.
The third case is exactly what we want, so this commit changes
`DiagnosticBuilder::foo_mv` to `DiagnosticBuilder::with_foo`.
Thanks to @compiler-errors for the suggestion.
`IntoDiagnostic` defaults to `ErrorGuaranteed`, because errors are the
most common diagnostic level. It makes sense to do likewise for the
closely-related (and much more widely used) `DiagnosticBuilder` type,
letting us write `DiagnosticBuilder<'a, ErrorGuaranteed>` as just
`DiagnosticBuilder<'a>`. This cuts over 200 lines of code due to many
multi-line things becoming single line things.

Add FIXME for `tcx.hir()` returned type about its removal
Simplify with with `tcx.hir_node_by_def_id`
Currently a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` can be created from any type that
impls `Into<String>`. That includes `&str`, `String`, and `Cow<'static,
str>`, which are reasonable. It also includes `&String`, which is pretty
weird, and results in many places making unnecessary allocations for
patterns like this:
```
self.fatal(&format!(...))
```
This creates a string with `format!`, takes a reference, passes the
reference to `fatal`, which does an `into()`, which clones the
reference, doing a second allocation. Two allocations for a single
string, bleh.
This commit changes the `From` impls so that you can only create a
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` from `&str`, `String`, or `Cow<'static,
str>`. This requires changing all the places that currently create one
from a `&String`. Most of these are of the `&format!(...)` form
described above; each one removes an unnecessary static `&`, plus an
allocation when executed. There are also a few places where the existing
use of `&String` was more reasonable; these now just use `clone()` at
the call site.
As well as making the code nicer and more efficient, this is a step
towards possibly using `Cow<'static, str>` in
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}`. That would require changing
the `From<&'a str>` impls to `From<&'static str>`, which is doable, but
I'm not yet sure if it's worthwhile.
Consider `tests/ui/const-generics/generic_const_exprs/issue-102768.stderr`,
the error message where it gives additional notes about where the associated
type is defined, and how the dead code lint doesn't have an article,
like in `tests/ui/lint/dead-code/issue-85255.stderr`. They don't have
articles, so it seems unnecessary to have one here.
diagnostics: if AssocFn has self argument, describe as method
Discussed in 329265515
This commit also changes the tooltips on rustdoc intra-doc links targeting methods.
For anyone not sure why this is being done, see the Reference definitions of these terms in <https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.67.1/reference/items/associated-items.html#methods>
> Associated functions whose first parameter is named `self` are called methods and may be invoked using the [method call operator](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.67.1/reference/expressions/method-call-expr.html), for example, `x.foo()`, as well as the usual function call notation.
In particular, while this means it's technically correct for rustc to refer to a method as an associated function (and there are a few cases where it'll still do so), rustc *must never* use the term "method" to refer to an associated function that does not have a `self` parameter.
Rarranging the substration and equality check into an addition and an equality
check is sufficient.
Algebra is cool, isn't it?
