Fixes to Rust coverage
Fixes: #79725
Some macros can create a situation where `fn_sig_span` and `body_span`
map to different files.
New documentation on coverage tests incorrectly assumed multiple test
binaries could just be listed at the end of the `llvm-cov` command,
but it turns out each binary needs a `--object` prefix.
This PR fixes the bug and updates the documentation to correct that
issue. It also fixes a few other minor issues in internal implementation
comments, and adds documentation on getting coverage results for doc
tests.
minor stylistic clippy cleanups
simplify if let Some(_) = x to if x.is_some() (clippy::redundant_pattern_matching)
don't create owned values for comparison (clippy::cmp_owned)
use .contains() or .any() instead of find(x).is_some() (clippy::search_is_some)
don't wrap code block in Ok() (clipppy::unit_arg)
Also generate `StorageDead` in constants
r? `@eddyb`
None of this special casing is actually necessary since we started promoting within constants and statics.
We may want to keep some of it around out of perf reasons, but it's not required for user visible behaviour
somewhat related: #68622
remove this weird special case from promotion
Promotion has a special case to ignore interior mutability under some specific circumstances. The purpose of this PR is to figure out what changes if we remove that. Since `Cell::new` and friends only get promoted inside `const`/`static` initializers these days, it actually is not easy to exploit this case: you need something like
```rust
const TEST_INTERIOR_MUT: () = {
// The "0." case is already ruled out by not permitting any interior mutability in `const`.
let _val: &'static _ = &(Cell::new(1), 2).1;
};
```
I assume something like `&Some(&(Cell::new(1), 2).1)` would hit the nested case inside `validate_rvalue`... though I am not sure why that would not just trigger nested promotion, first promoting the inner reference and then the outer one?
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67534 (by simply rejecting that code^^)

Prior to this commit, debuginfo was always generated by mapping a name
to a Place. This has the side-effect that `SimplifyLocals` cannot remove
locals that are only used for debuginfo because their other uses have
been const-propagated.
To allow these locals to be removed, we now allow debuginfo to point to
a constant value. The `ConstProp` pass detects when debuginfo points to
a local with a known constant value and replaces it with the value. This
allows the later `SimplifyLocals` pass to remove the local.
Added one more test (two files) showing coverage of generics and unused
functions across crates.
Created and referenced new Issues, as requested.
Added comments.
Added a note about the possible effects of compiler options on LLVM
coverage maps.
Fixes multiple issue with counters, with simplification
Includes a change to the implicit else span in ast_lowering, so coverage
of the implicit else no longer spans the `then` block.
Adds coverage for unused closures and async function bodies.
Fixes: #78542
Adding unreachable regions for known MIR missing from coverage map
Cleaned up PR commits, and removed link-dead-code requirement and tests
Coverage no longer depends on Issue #76038 (`-C link-dead-code` is
no longer needed or enforced, so MSVC can use the same tests as
Linux and MacOS now)
Restrict adding unreachable regions to covered files
Improved the code that adds coverage for uncalled functions (with MIR
but not-codegenned) to avoid generating coverage in files not already
included in the files with covered functions.
Resolved last known issue requiring --emit llvm-ir workaround
Fixed bugs in how unreachable code spans were added.
Tested and validate results for panic unwind, panic abort, assert!()
macro, TerminatorKind::Assert (for example, numeric overflow), and
async/await.
Implemented a previous documented idea to change Assert handling to be
the same as FalseUnwind and Goto, so it doesn't get its own
BasicCoverageBlock anymore. This changed a couple of coverage regions,
but I validated those changes are not any worse than the prior results,
and probably help assure some consistency (even if some people might
disagree with how the code region is consistently computed).
Fixed issue with async/await. AggregateKind::Generator needs to be
handled like AggregateKind::Closure; coverage span for the outer async
function should not "cover" the async body, which is actually executed
in a separate "closure" MIR.
Properly handle attributes on statements
We now collect tokens for the underlying node wrapped by `StmtKind`
nstead of storing tokens directly in `Stmt`.
`LazyTokenStream` now supports capturing a trailing semicolon after it
is initially constructed. This allows us to avoid refactoring statement
parsing to wrap the parsing of the semicolon in `parse_tokens`.
Attributes on item statements
(e.g. `fn foo() { #[bar] struct MyStruct; }`) are now treated as
item attributes, not statement attributes, which is consistent with how
we handle attributes on other kinds of statements. The feature-gating
code is adjusted so that proc-macro attributes are still allowed on item
statements on stable.
Two built-in macros (`#[global_allocator]` and `#[test]`) needed to be
adjusted to support being passed `Annotatable::Stmt`.
Allow using generic trait methods in `const fn`
Next step for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67792, this now also allows code like the following:
```rust
struct S;
impl const PartialEq for S {
fn eq(&self, _: &S) -> bool {
true
}
}
const fn equals_self<T: PartialEq>(t: &T) -> bool {
*t == *t
}
pub const EQ: bool = equals_self(&S);
```
This works by threading const-ness of trait predicates through trait selection, in particular through `ParamCandidate`, and exposing it in the resulting `ImplSource`.
Since this change makes two bounds `T: Trait` and `T: ?const Trait` that only differ in their const-ness be treated like different bounds, candidate winnowing has been changed to drop the `?const` candidate in favor of the const candidate, to avoid ambiguities when both a const and a non-const bound is present.
Never inline naked functions
The `#[naked]` attribute disabled prologue / epilogue emission for the
function and it is responsibility of a developer to provide them. The
compiler is no position to inline such functions correctly.
Disable inlining of naked functions at LLVM and MIR level.
Closes#60919.

add optimization fuel checks to some mir passes
Fixes#77402
Inserts a bunch of calls to `consider_optimizing`. Note that `consider_optimizing` is the method that actually decrements the fuel count, so the point at which it's called is when the optimization takes place, from a fuel perspective. This means that where we call it has some thought behind it:
1. We probably don't want to decrement the fuel count before other simple checks, otherwise we count an optimization as being performed even if nothing was mutated (ie. it returned early).
2. In cases like `InstCombine`, where we gather optimizations in a pass and then mutate values, we probably would rather skip the gathering pass for performance reasons rather than skip the mutations afterwards.

RFC-2229: Implement Precise Capture Analysis
### This PR introduces
- Feature gate for RFC-2229 (incomplete) `capture_disjoint_field`
- Rustc Attribute to print out the capture analysis `rustc_capture_analysis`
- Precise capture analysis
### Description of the analysis
1. If the feature gate is not set then all variables that are not local to the closure will be added to the list of captures. (This is for backcompat)
2. The rest of the analysis is based entirely on how the captured `Place`s are used within the closure. Precise information (i.e. projections) about the `Place` is maintained throughout.
3. To reduce the amount of information we need to keep track of, we do a minimization step. In this step, we determine a list such that no Place within this list represents an ancestor path to another entry in the list. Check rust-lang/project-rfc-2229#9 for more detailed examples.
4. To keep the compiler functional as before we implement a Bridge between the results of this new analysis to existing data structures used for closure captures. Note the new capture analysis results are only part of MaybeTypeckTables that is the information is only available during typeck-ing.
### Known issues
- Statements like `let _ = x` will make the compiler ICE when used within a closure with the feature enabled. More generally speaking the issue is caused by `let` statements that create no bindings and are init'ed using a Place expression.
### Testing
We removed the code that would handle the case where the feature gate is not set, to enable the feature as default and did a bors try and perf run. More information here: #78762
### Thanks
This has been slowly in the works for a while now.

Allow making `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP` conditional on the crate name
Motivation: This came up in the [Zulip stream](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/233931-t-compiler.2Fmajor-changes/topic/Require.20users.20to.20confirm.20they.20know.20RUSTC_.E2.80.A6.20compiler-team.23350/near/208403962) for https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/350.
See also https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/6608#issuecomment-458546258; this implements https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/6627.
The goal is for this to eventually allow prohibiting setting `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP` in build.rs (https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/7088).
## User-facing changes
- `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1` still works; there is no current plan to remove this.
- Things like `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=0` no longer activate nightly features. In practice this shouldn't be a big deal, since `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP` is the opposite of stable and everyone uses `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1` anyway.
- `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=x` will enable nightly features only for crate `x`.
- `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=x,y` will enable nightly features only for crates `x` and `y`.
## Implementation changes
The main change is that `UnstableOptions::from_environment` now requires
an (optional) crate name. If the crate name is unknown (`None`), then the new feature is not available and you still have to use `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1`. In practice this means the feature is only available for `--crate-name`, not for `#![crate_name]`; I'm interested in supporting the second but I'm not sure how.
Other major changes:
- Added `Session::is_nightly_build()`, which uses the `crate_name` of
the session
- Added `nightly_options::match_is_nightly_build`, a convenience method
for looking up `--crate-name` from CLI arguments.
`Session::is_nightly_build()`should be preferred where possible, since
it will take into account `#![crate_name]` (I think).
- Added `unstable_features` to `rustdoc::RenderOptions`
I'm not sure whether this counts as T-compiler or T-lang; _technically_ RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP is an implementation detail, but it's been used so much it seems like this counts as a language change too.

Normalize function type during validation
During inlining, the callee body is normalized and has types revealed,
but some of locals corresponding to the arguments might come from the
caller body which is not. As a result the caller body does not pass
validation without additional normalization.
Closes#78442.
Lower intrinsics calls: forget, size_of, unreachable, wrapping_*
This allows constant propagation to evaluate `size_of` and `wrapping_*`,
and unreachable propagation to propagate a call to `unreachable`.
The lowering is performed as a MIR optimization, rather than during MIR
building to preserve the special status of intrinsics with respect to
unsafety checks and promotion.
Currently enabled by default to determine the performance impact (no
significant impact expected). In practice only useful when combined with
inlining since intrinsics are rarely used directly (with exception of
`unreachable` and `discriminant_value` used by built-in derive macros).
Closes#32716.

The inliner looks if a sanitizer is enabled before considering
`no_sanitize` attribute as possible source of incompatibility.
The MIR inlining could happen in a crate with sanitizer disabled, but
code generation in a crate with sanitizer enabled, thus the attribute
would be incorrectly ignored.
To avoid the issue never inline functions with different `no_sanitize`
attributes.
Support inlining diverging function calls
The existing heuristic does penalize diverging calls to some degree, but since
it never inlined them previously it might need some further modifications.
Additionally introduce storage markers for all temporaries created by
the inliner. The temporary introduced for destination rebrorrow, didn't
use them previously.
Add flags customizing behaviour of MIR inlining
* `-Zinline-mir-threshold` to change the default threshold.
* `-Zinline-mir-hint-threshold` to change the threshold used by
functions with inline hint.
Having those as configurable flags makes it possible to experiment with with
different inlining thresholds and substantially increase test coverage of MIR
inlining when used with increased thresholds (for example, necessary to test
#78844).
The discussion seems to have resolved that this lint is a bit "noisy" in
that applying it in all places would result in a reduction in
readability.
A few of the trivial functions (like `Path::new`) are fine to leave
outside of closures.
The general rule seems to be that anything that is obviously an
allocation (`Box`, `Vec`, `vec![]`) should be in a closure, even if it
is a 0-sized allocation.
Add comments to explain memory usage optimization
Add explanatory comments so that people understand that it's just an optimization and doesn't affect behavior.

Assert that a return place is not used for indexing during integration
The inliner integrates call destination place with callee return place
by remapping the local and adding extra projections as necessary.
If a call destination place contains any projections (which is already
possible) and a return place is used in an indexing projection (most
likely doesn't happen yet) the end result would be incorrect.
Add an assertion to ensure that potential issue won't go unnoticed in
the presence of more sophisticated copy propagation scheme.
* `-Zinline-mir-threshold` to change the default threshold.
* `-Zinline-mir-hint-threshold` to change the threshold used by
functions with inline hint.
inliner: Break inlining cycles
Keep track of all instances inlined so far. When examining a new call
sites from an inlined body, skip those where callee had been inlined
already to avoid potential inlining cycles.
Fixes#78573.
Improve lifetime name annotations for closures & async functions
* Don't refer to async functions as "generators" in error output
* Where possible, emit annotations pointing exactly at the `&` in the return type of closures (when they have explicit return types) and async functions, like we do for arguments.
Addresses #74072, but I wouldn't call that *closed* until annotations are identical for async and non-async functions.
* Emit a better annotation when the lifetime doesn't appear in the full name type, which currently happens for opaque types like `impl Future`. Addresses #74497, but further improves could probably be made (why *doesn't* it appear in the type as `impl Future + '1`?)
This is included in the same PR because the changes to `give_name_if_anonymous_region_appears_in_output` would introduce ICE otherwise (it would return `None` in cases where it didn't previously, which then gets `unwrap`ped)
gsgdt [https://crates.io/crates/gsgdt] is a crate which provides an
interface for stringly typed graphs. It also provides generation of
graphviz dot format from said graph.
inliner: Use substs_for_mir_body
Changes from 68965 extended the kind of instances that are being
inlined. For some of those, the `instance_mir` returns a MIR body that
is already expressed in terms of the types found in substitution array,
and doesn't need further substitution.
Use `substs_for_mir_body` to take that into account.
Resolves#78529.
Resolves#78560.
Additionally introduce storage markers for all temporaries created by
the inliner. The temporary introduced for destination rebrorrow, didn't
use them previously.
When examining candidates for inlining, reject those that are determined
to be recursive either because of self-recursive calls or calls to any
instances already inlined.
with an eye on merging `TargetOptions` into `Target`.
`TargetOptions` as a separate structure is mostly an implementation detail of `Target` construction, all its fields logically belong to `Target` and available from `Target` through `Deref` impls.

This extends the check for dereferences added in PR #77324

on a dereference of a `const` item, we shouldn't be firing the lint.
Less verbose debug logging from inlining integrator
The inlining integrator produces relatively verbose and uninteresting
logs. Move them from a debug log level to a trace level, so that they
can be easily isolated from others.
revert #75443, update mir validator
This PR reverts rust-lang#75443 to fix rust-lang#75992 and instead uses rust-lang#75419 to fix rust-lang#75313.
Adapts rust-lang#75419 to correctly deal with unevaluated constants as otherwise some `feature(const_evaluatable_checked)` tests would ICE.
Note that rust-lang#72793 was also fixed by rust-lang#75443, but as that issue only concerns `feature(type_alias_impl_trait)` I deleted that test case for now and would reopen that issue.
rust-lang#75443 may have also allowed some other code to now successfully compile which would make this revert a breaking change after 2 stable versions, but I hope that this is a purely theoretical concern.

Working expression optimization, and some improvements to branch-level source coverage
This replaces PR #78040 after reorganizing the original commits (by request) into a more logical sequence of major changes.
Most of the work is in the MIR `transform/coverage/` directory (originally, `transform/instrument_coverage.rs`).
Note this PR includes some significant additional debugging capabilities, to help myself and any future developer working on coverage improvements or issues.
In particular, there's a new Graphviz (.dot file) output for the coverage graph (the `BasicCoverageBlock` control flow graph) that provides ways to get some very good insight into the relationships between the MIR, the coverage graph BCBs, coverage spans, and counters. (There are also some cool debugging options, available via environment variable, to alter how some data in the graph appears.)
And the code for this Graphviz view is actually generic... it can be used by any implementation of the Rust `Graph` traits.
Finally (for now), I also now output information from `llvm-cov` that shows the actual counters and spans it found in the coverage map, and their counts (from the `--debug` flag). I found this to be enormously helpful in debugging some coverage issues, so I kept it in the test results as well for additional context.
`@tmandry` `@wesleywiser`
r? `@tmandry`
Here's an example of the new coverage graph:
* Within each `BasicCoverageBlock` (BCB), you can see each `CoverageSpan` and its contributing statements (MIR `Statement`s and/or `Terminator`s)
* Each `CoverageSpan` has a `Counter` or and `Expression`, and `Expression`s show their Add/Subtract operation with nested operations. (This can be changed to show the Counter and Expression IDs instead, or in addition to, the BCB.)
* The terminators of all MIR `BasicBlock`s in the BCB, including one final `Terminator`
* If an "edge counter" is required (because we need to count an edge between blocks, in some cases) the edge's Counter or Expression is shown next to its label. (Not shown in the example below.) (FYI, Edge Counters are converted into a new MIR `BasicBlock` with `Goto`)

Improved debugging and formatting options (from env)
Don't automatically add counters to BCBs without CoverageSpans. They may
still get counters but only if there are dependencies from
other BCBs that have spans, I think.
Make CodeRegions optional for Counters too. It is
possible to inject counters (`llvm.instrprof.increment` intrinsic calls
without corresponding code regions in the coverage map. An expression
can still uses these counter values.
