We already do this for a number of crates, e.g. `rustc_middle`,
`rustc_span`, `rustc_metadata`, `rustc_span`, `rustc_errors`.
For the ones we don't, in many cases the attributes are a mess.
- There is no consistency about order of attribute kinds (e.g.
`allow`/`deny`/`feature`).
- Within attribute kind groups (e.g. the `feature` attributes),
sometimes the order is alphabetical, and sometimes there is no
particular order.
- Sometimes the attributes of a particular kind aren't even grouped
all together, e.g. there might be a `feature`, then an `allow`, then
another `feature`.
This commit extends the existing sorting to all compiler crates,
increasing consistency. If any new attribute line is added there is now
only one place it can go -- no need for arbitrary decisions.
Exceptions:
- `rustc_log`, `rustc_next_trait_solver` and `rustc_type_ir_macros`,
because they have no crate attributes.
- `rustc_codegen_gcc`, because it's quasi-external to rustc (e.g. it's
ignored in `rustfmt.toml`).
Spruce up the diagnostics of some early lints
Implement the various "*(note to myself) in a follow-up PR we should turn parts of this message into a subdiagnostic (help msg or even struct sugg)*" drive-by comments I left in #124417 during my review.
For context, before #124417, only a few early lints touched/decorated/customized their diagnostic because the former API made it a bit awkward. Likely because of that, things that should've been subdiagnostics were just crammed into the primary message. This PR rectifies this.
We still check for the `rental`/`allsorts-rental` crates. But now if
they are detected we just emit a fatal error, instead of emitting a
warning and providing alternative behaviour.
The original "hack" implementing alternative behaviour was added
in #73345.
The lint was added in #83127.
The tracking issue is #83125.
The direct motivation for the change is that providing the alternative
behaviour is interfering with #125174 and follow-on work.
* inline `LintBuffer::add_lint`, it only had a single use
* update a lint infra example code snippet
* it used the wrong API (the snippet isn't tested)
* presumably the arguments were updated from builder to diag struct style
at some point without updating the method
Translation of the lint message happens when the actual diagnostic is
created, not when the lint is buffered. Generating the message from
BuiltinLintDiag ensures that all required data to construct the message
is preserved in the LintBuffer, eventually allowing the messages to be
moved to fluent.
Remove the `msg` field from BufferedEarlyLint, it is either generated
from the data in the BuiltinLintDiag or stored inside
BuiltinLintDiag::Normal.
Remove many `#[macro_use] extern crate foo` items
This requires the addition of more `use` items, which often make the code more verbose. But they also make the code easier to read, because `#[macro_use]` obscures where macros are defined.
r? `@fee1-dead`
That is, change `diagnostic_outside_of_impl` and
`untranslatable_diagnostic` from `allow` to `deny`, because more than
half of the compiler has be converted to use translated diagnostics.
This commit removes more `deny` attributes than it adds `allow`
attributes, which proves that this change is warranted.
StableCompare is a companion trait to `StableOrd`. Some types like `Symbol` can be compared in a cross-session stable way, but their `Ord` implementation is not stable. In such cases, a `StableOrd` implementation can be provided to offer a lightweight way for stable sorting. (The more heavyweight option is to sort via `ToStableHashKey`, but then sorting needs to have access to a stable hashing context and `ToStableHashKey` can also be expensive as in the case of `Symbol` where it has to allocate a `String`.)
Clarify how to choose a FutureIncompatibilityReason variant.
There has been some confusion about how to choose these variants, or what the procedure is for handling future-incompatible errors. Hopefully this helps provide some more information on how these work.

They've been deprecated for four years.
This commit includes the following changes.
- It eliminates the `rustc_plugin_impl` crate.
- It changes the language used for lints in
`compiler/rustc_driver_impl/src/lib.rs` and
`compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs`. External lints are now called
"loaded" lints, rather than "plugins" to avoid confusion with the old
plugins. This only has a tiny effect on the output of `-W help`.
- E0457 and E0498 are no longer used.
- E0463 is narrowed, now only relating to unfound crates, not plugins.
- The `plugin` feature was moved from "active" to "removed".
- It removes the entire plugins chapter from the unstable book.
- It removes quite a few tests, mostly all of those in
`tests/ui-fulldeps/plugin/`.
Closes#29597.
