This commit updates the src/stdarch submodule primarily to include
rust-lang/stdarch#874 which updated and revamped WebAssembly SIMD
intrinsics and renamed WebAssembly atomics intrinsics. This is all
unstable surface area of the standard library so the changes should be
ok here. The SIMD updates also enable SIMD intrinsics to be used by any
program any any time, yay!
cc #74372, a tracking issue I've opened for the stabilization of SIMD
intrinsics
Improve defaults in x.py
- Make the default stage dependent on the subcommand
- Don't build stage1 rustc artifacts with x.py build --stage 1. If this is what you want, use x.py build --stage 2 instead, which gives you a working libstd.
- Change default debuginfo when debug = true from 2 to 1
I tried to fix CI to use `--stage 2` everywhere it currently has no stage, but I might have missed a spot.
This does not update much of the documentation - most of it is in https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/ or https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-forge and will need a separate PR.
See individual commits for a detailed rationale of each change.

r? @Mark-Simulacrum , but anyone is free to give an opinion.
Add the rust-docs component to toolchain x86_64-unknown-linux-musl, which allows
people using rustup on their musl-based linux distribution to download the
rust-docs.
config.toml.example: Update remap-debuginfo doc to be more general & accurate
This makes it more obvious that the work-around to #74786 is actually correct, and a custom `--remap-path-prefix` isn't needed.
In fact the previous comment `/rustc/$hash/$crate` was wrong, it is not `$crate` but whatever path exists in the rustc source tree, so either `src/$crate` or `vendor/$crate`. I've fixed that as well to avoid future confusion.
Separate `missing_doc_code_examples` from intra-doc links
These two lints have no relation other than both being nightly-only.
This allows stabilizing intra-doc links without stabilizing `missing_doc_code_examples`.
Fixes one of the issues spotted by @ollie27 in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74430#issuecomment-664693080.
r? @Manishearth
- Use stage 2 for makefile
- Move assert to builder
- Don't add an assert for --help
- Allow --stage 0 if passed explicitly
- Don't assert defaults during tests
Otherwise it's impossible to test the defaults!

> Linking seems to consume all available RAM, leading to the OS to swap memory to disk and slowing down everything in the process
Compiling itself doesn't seem to take up as much RAM, and I'm only looking to check whether a minimal testcase can be compiled by rustc, where the runtime performance isn't much of an issue

Anecdotally, this sped up my stage 1 build from 15 to 10 minutes.
This still adds line numbers, it only removes variable and type information.

- Set rustc to build only when explicitly asked for
This allows building the stage2 rustc artifacts, which nothing depends
on.
Previously the behavior was as follows (where stageN <-> stage(N-1) artifacts, except for stage0 libstd):
- `x.py build --stage 0`:
- stage0 libstd
- stage1 rustc (but without putting rustc in stage0/)
This leaves you without any rustc at all except for the beta compiler
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73519). This is never what you want.
- `x.py build --stage 1`:
- stage0 libstd
- stage1 rustc
- stage1 libstd
- stage1 rustdoc
- stage2 rustc
This leaves you with a broken stage2 rustc which doesn't even have
libcore and is effectively useless. Additionally, it compiles rustc
twice, which is not normally what you want.
- `x.py build --stage 2`:
- stage0 libstd
- stage1 rustc
- stage1 libstd
- stage2 rustc
- stage2 rustdoc and tools
This builds all tools in release mode. This is the correct usage for CI,
but takes far to long for development.
Now the behavior is as follows:
- `x.py build --stage 0`:
- stage0 libstd
This is suitable for contributors only working on the standard library,
as it means rustc never has to be compiled.
- `x.py build --stage 1`:
- stage0 libstd
- stage1 rustc
- stage1 libstd
- stage1 rustdoc
This is suitable for contributors working on the compiler. It ensures
that you have a working rustc and libstd without having to pass
`src/libstd` in addition.
- `x.py build --stage 2`:
- stage0 libstd
- stage1 rustc
- stage1 libstd
- stage2 rustc
- stage2 libstd
- stage2 rustdoc
This is suitable for debugging errors which only appear with the stage2
compiler.
- `x.py build --stage 2 src/libstd src/rustc`
- stage0 libstd
- stage1 rustc
- stage1 libstd
- stage2 rustc
- stage2 libstd
- stage2 rustdoc, tools, etc.
- stage2 rustc artifacts ('stage3')
This is suitable for CI, which wants all tools in release mode.
However, most of the use cases for this should use `x.py dist` instead,
which builds all the tools without each having to be named individually.
### x.py build/test: stage 1
I've seen very few people who actually use full stage 2 builds on purpose. These compile rustc and libstd twice and don't give you much more information than a stage 1 build (except in rare cases like https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/68692#discussion_r376392145). For new contributors, this makes the build process even more daunting than it already is. As long as CI is changed to use `--stage 2` I see no downside here.
### x.py bench/dist/install: stage 2
These commands have to do with a finished, optimized version of rustc. It seems very rare to want to use these with a stage 1 build.
### x.py doc: stage 0
Normally when you document things you're just fixing a typo. In this case there is no need to build the whole rust compiler, since the documentation will usually be the same when generated with the beta compiler or with stage 1.
Note that for this release cycle only there will be a significant different between stage0 and stage1 docs: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73101. However most of the time this will not be the case.
These two lints have no relation other than both being nightly-only.
This allows stabilizing intra-doc links without stabilizing
missing_doc_code_examples.
mv std libs to library/
This is the first step in refactoring the directory layout of this repository, with further followup steps planned (but not done yet).
Background: currently, all crates are under src/, without nested src directories and with the unconventional `lib*` prefixes (e.g., `src/libcore/lib.rs`). This directory structures is not idiomatic and makes the `src/` directory rather overwhelming. To improve contributor experience and make things a bit more approachable, we are reorganizing the repo a bit.
In this PR, we move the standard libs (basically anything that is "runtime", as opposed to part of the compiler, build system, or one of the tools, etc). The new layout moves these libraries to a new `library/` directory in the root of the repo. Additionally, we remove the `lib*` prefixes and add nested `src/` directories. The other crates/tools in this repo are not touched. So in summary:
```
library/<crate>/src/*.rs
src/<all the rest> // unchanged
```
where `<crate>` is:
- core
- alloc
- std
- test
- proc_macro
- panic_abort
- panic_unwind
- profiler_builtins
- term
- unwind
- rtstartup
- backtrace
- rustc-std-workspace-*
There was a lot of discussion about this and a few rounds of compiler team approvals, FCPs, MCPs, and nominations. The original MCP is https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/298. The final approval of the compiler team was given here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73265#issuecomment-659498446.
The name `library` was chosen to complement a later move of the compiler crates to a `compiler/` directory. There was a lot of discussion around adding the nested `src/` directories. Note that this does increase the nesting depth (plausibly important for manual traversal of the tree, e.g., through GitHub's UI or `cd`), but this is deemed to be better as it fits the standard layout of Rust crates throughout most of the ecosystem, though there is some debate about how much this should apply to multi-crate projects. Overall, there seem to be more people in favor of nested `src/` than against.
After this PR, there are no dependencies out of the `library/` directory except on the `build_helper` (or crates.io crates).
Warn about unused expressions with closure or generator type. This follows
existing precedence of must use annotations present on `FnOnce`, `FnMut`, `Fn`
traits, which already indirectly apply to closures in some cases, e.g.,:
```rust
fn f() -> impl FnOnce() {
|| {}
}
fn main() {
// an existing warning: unused implementer of `std::ops::FnOnce` that must be used:
f();
// a new warning: unused closure that must be used:
|| {};
}
```
Derive common traits for panic::Location.
Now that `#[track_caller]` is on track to stabilize, one of the roughest edges of working with it is the fact that you can't do much with `Location` except turn it back into a `(&str, u32, u32)`. Which makes sense because the type was defined around the panic machinery originally passing around that tuple (it has the same layout as Location even).
This PR derives common traits for the type in accordance with the [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/interoperability.html#types-eagerly-implement-common-traits-c-common-traits) (those apply to core, right?).
There's a risk here, e.g. if we ever change the representation of `Location` in a way that makes it harder to implement `Ord`, we might not be able to make that change in a backwards-compatible way. I don't think there's any other compatibility hazard here, as the only changes we currently imagine for the type are to add end fields.
