许杰友 Jieyou Xu (Joe) 063ef18fdc Revert "Use workspace lints for crates in compiler/ #138084"
Revert <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138084> to buy time to
consider options that avoids breaking downstream usages of cargo on
distributed `rustc-src` artifacts, where such cargo invocations fail due
to inability to inherit `lints` from workspace root manifest's
`workspace.lints` (this is only valid for the source rust-lang/rust
workspace, but not really the distributed `rustc-src` artifacts).

This breakage was reported in
<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/138304>.

This reverts commit 48caf81484, reversing
changes made to c6662879b2.

rust-toolchain.toml

This crate is currently developed in-tree together with the compiler.

Our goal is to start publishing stable_mir into crates.io. Until then, users will use this as any other rustc crate, by installing the rustup component rustc-dev, and declaring stable-mir as an external crate.

See the StableMIR "Getting Started" guide for more information.

Stable MIR Design

The stable-mir will follow a similar approach to proc-macro2. Its implementation is split between two main crates:

  • stable_mir: Public crate, to be published on crates.io, which will contain the stable data structure as well as calls to rustc_smir APIs. The translation between stable and internal constructs will also be done in this crate, however, this is currently implemented in the rustc_smir crate.1.
  • rustc_smir: This crate implements the public APIs to the compiler. It is responsible for gathering all the information requested, and providing the data in its unstable form.

I.e., tools will depend on stable_mir crate, which will invoke the compiler using APIs defined in rustc_smir.

I.e.:
