2024-12-23Revert "Auto merge of #130766 - clarfonthey:stable-coverage-attribute, ↵Zalathar-3/+0
r=wesleywiser" This reverts commit 1d35638dc38dbfbf1cc2a9823135dfcf3c650169, reversing changes made to f23a80a4c2fbca593b64e70f5970368824b4c5e9.
2024-12-18Stabilize `#[diagnostic::do_not_recommend]`Georg Semmler-0/+2
This commit seeks to stabilize the `#[diagnostic::do_not_recommend]` attribute. This attribute was first proposed as `#[do_not_recommend`] attribute in RFC 2397 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2397). It gives the crate authors the ability to not suggest to the compiler to not show certain traits in it's error messages. With the presence of the `#[diagnostic]` tool attribute namespace it was decided to move the attribute there, as that lowers the amount of guarantees the compiler needs to give about the exact way this influences error messages. It turns the attribute into a hint which can be ignored. In addition to the original proposed functionality this attribute now also hides the marked trait in help messages ("This trait is implemented by: "). The attribute does not accept any argument and can only be placed on trait implementations. If it is placed somewhere else a lint warning is emitted and the attribute is otherwise ignored. If an argument is detected a lint warning is emitted and the argument is ignored. This follows the rules outlined by the diagnostic namespace. This attribute allows crates like diesel to improve their error messages drastically. The most common example here is the following error message: ``` error[E0277]: the trait bound `&str: Expression` is not satisfied --> /home/weiznich/Documents/rust/rust/tests/ui/diagnostic_namespace/do_not_recommend.rs:53:15 | LL | SelectInt.check("bar"); | ^^^^^ the trait `Expression` is not implemented for `&str`, which is required by `&str: AsExpression<Integer>` | = help: the following other types implement trait `Expression`: Bound<T> SelectInt note: required for `&str` to implement `AsExpression<Integer>` --> /home/weiznich/Documents/rust/rust/tests/ui/diagnostic_namespace/do_not_recommend.rs:26:13 | LL | impl<T, ST> AsExpression<ST> for T | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ LL | where LL | T: Expression<SqlType = ST>, | ------------------------ unsatisfied trait bound introduced here ``` By applying the new attribute to the wild card trait implementation of `AsExpression` for `T: Expression` the error message becomes: ``` error[E0277]: the trait bound `&str: AsExpression<Integer>` is not satisfied --> $DIR/as_expression.rs:55:15 | LL | SelectInt.check("bar"); | ^^^^^ the trait `AsExpression<Integer>` is not implemented for `&str` | = help: the trait `AsExpression<Text>` is implemented for `&str` = help: for that trait implementation, expected `Text`, found `Integer` ``` which makes it much easier for users to understand that they are facing a type mismatch. Other explored example usages included * This standard library error message: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128008 * That bevy derived example: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/e1f306899514ea80abc1d1c9f6a57762afb304a3/tests/ui/diagnostic_namespace/do_not_recommend/supress_suggestions_in_help.rs (No more tuple pyramids) Fixes #51992
2024-12-18Re-export more `rustc_span::symbol` things from `rustc_span`.Nicholas Nethercote-1/+1
`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from `rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good reason. This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`, and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers in `compiler/` to `rustc_span::`. This is a 200+ net line of code reduction, mostly because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to one.

2024-08-20Auto merge of #127672 - compiler-errors:precise-capturing, r=spastorinobors-0/+2
Stabilize opaque type precise capturing (RFC 3617) This PR partially stabilizes opaque type *precise capturing*, which was specified in [RFC 3617](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3617), and whose syntax was amended by FCP in [#125836](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/125836). This feature, as stabilized here, gives us a way to explicitly specify the generic lifetime parameters that an RPIT-like opaque type captures. This solves the problem of overcapturing, for lifetime parameters in these opaque types, and will allow the Lifetime Capture Rules 2024 ([RFC 3498](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3498)) to be fully stabilized for RPIT in Rust 2024. ### What are we stabilizing? This PR stabilizes the use of a `use<'a, T>` bound in return-position impl Trait opaque types. Such a bound fully specifies the set of generic parameters captured by the RPIT opaque type, entirely overriding the implicit default behavior. E.g.: ```rust fn does_not_capture<'a, 'b>() -> impl Sized + use<'a> {} // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ // This RPIT opaque type does not capture `'b`. ``` The way we would suggest thinking of `impl Trait` types *without* an explicit `use<..>` bound is that the `use<..>` bound has been *elided*, and that the bound is filled in automatically by the compiler according to the edition-specific capture rules. All non-`'static` lifetime parameters, named (i.e. non-APIT) type parameters, and const parameters in scope are valid to name, including an elided lifetime if such a lifetime would also be valid in an outlives bound, e.g.: ```rust fn elided(x: &u8) -> impl Sized + use<'_> { x } ``` Lifetimes must be listed before type and const parameters, but otherwise the ordering is not relevant to the `use<..>` bound. Captured parameters may not be duplicated. For now, only one `use<..>` bound may appear in a bounds list. It may appear anywhere within the bounds list. ### How does this differ from the RFC? This stabilization differs from the RFC in one respect: the RFC originally specified `use<'a, T>` as syntactically part of the RPIT type itself, e.g.: ```rust fn capture<'a>() -> impl use<'a> Sized {} ``` However, settling on the final syntax was left as an open question. T-lang later decided via FCP in [#125836](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/125836) to treat `use<..>` as a syntactic bound instead, e.g.: ```rust fn capture<'a>() -> impl Sized + use<'a> {} ``` ### What aren't we stabilizing? The key goal of this PR is to stabilize the parts of *precise capturing* that are needed to enable the migration to Rust 2024. There are some capabilities of *precise capturing* that the RFC specifies but that we're not stabilizing here, as these require further work on the type system. We hope to lift these limitations later. The limitations that are part of this PR were specified in the [RFC's stabilization strategy](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3617-precise-capturing.html#stabilization-strategy). #### Not capturing type or const parameters The RFC addresses the overcapturing of type and const parameters; that is, it allows for them to not be captured in opaque types. We're not stabilizing that in this PR. Since all in scope generic type and const parameters are implicitly captured in all editions, this is not needed for the migration to Rust 2024. For now, when using `use<..>`, all in scope type and const parameters must be nameable (i.e., APIT cannot be used) and included as arguments. For example, this is an error because `T` is in scope and not included as an argument: ```rust fn test<T>() -> impl Sized + use<> {} //~^ ERROR `impl Trait` must mention all type parameters in scope in `use<...>` ``` This is due to certain current limitations in the type system related to how generic parameters are represented as captured (i.e. bivariance) and how inference operates. We hope to relax this in the future, and this stabilization is forward compatible with doing so. #### Precise capturing for return-position impl Trait **in trait** (RPITIT) The RFC specifies precise capturing for RPITIT. We're not stabilizing that in this PR. Since RPITIT already adheres to the Lifetime Capture Rules 2024, this isn't needed for the migration to Rust 2024. The effect of this is that the anonymous associated types created by RPITITs must continue to capture all of the lifetime parameters in scope, e.g.: ```rust trait Foo<'a> { fn test() -> impl Sized + use<Self>; //~^ ERROR `use<...>` precise capturing syntax is currently not allowed in return-position `impl Trait` in traits } ``` To allow this involves a meaningful amount of type system work related to adding variance to GATs or reworking how generics are represented in RPITITs. We plan to do this work separately from the stabilization. See: - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124029 Supporting precise capturing for RPITIT will also require us to implement a new algorithm for detecting refining capture behavior. This may involve looking through type parameters to detect cases where the impl Trait type in an implementation captures fewer lifetimes than the corresponding RPITIT in the trait definition, e.g.: ```rust trait Foo { fn rpit() -> impl Sized + use<Self>; } impl<'a> Foo for &'a () { // This is "refining" due to not capturing `'a` which // is implied by the trait's `use<Self>`. fn rpit() -> impl Sized + use<>; // This is not "refining". fn rpit() -> impl Sized + use<'a>; } ``` This stabilization is forward compatible with adding support for this later. ### The technical details This bound is purely syntactical and does not lower to a [`Clause`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.79.0/nightly-rustc/rustc_middle/ty/type.ClauseKind.html) in the type system. For the purposes of the type system (and for the types team's curiosity regarding this stabilization), we have no current need to represent this as a `ClauseKind`. Since opaques already capture a variable set of lifetimes depending on edition and their syntactical position (e.g. RPIT vs RPITIT), a `use<..>` bound is just a way to explicitly rather than implicitly specify that set of lifetimes, and this only affects opaque type lowering from AST to HIR. ### FCP plan While there's much discussion of the type system here, the feature in this PR is implemented internally as a transformation that happens before lowering to the type system layer. We already support impl Trait types partially capturing the in scope lifetimes; we just currently only expose that implicitly. So, in my (errs's) view as a types team member, there's nothing for types to weigh in on here with respect to the implementation being stabilized, and I'd suggest a lang-only proposed FCP (though we'll of course CC the team below). ### Authorship and acknowledgments This stabilization report was coauthored by compiler-errors and TC. TC would like to acknowledge the outstanding and speedy work that compiler-errors has done to make this feature happen. compiler-errors thanks TC for authoring the RFC, for all of his involvement in this feature's development, and pushing the Rust 2024 edition forward. ### Open items We're doing some things in parallel here. In signaling the intention to stabilize, we want to uncover any latent issues so we can be sure they get addressed.

Stabilize `unsafe_attributes` # Stabilization report ## Summary This is a tracking issue for the RFC 3325: unsafe attributes We are stabilizing `#![feature(unsafe_attributes)]`, which makes certain attributes considered 'unsafe', meaning that they must be surrounded by an `unsafe(...)`, as in `#[unsafe(no_mangle)]`. RFC: rust-lang/rfcs#3325 Tracking issue: #123757 ## What is stabilized ### Summary of stabilization Certain attributes will now be designated as unsafe attributes, namely, `no_mangle`, `export_name`, and `link_section` (stable only), and these attributes will need to be called by surrounding them in `unsafe(...)` syntax. On editions prior to 2024, this is simply an edition lint, but it will become a hard error in 2024. This also works in `cfg_attr`, but `unsafe` is not allowed for any other attributes, including proc-macros ones. ```rust #[unsafe(no_mangle)] fn a() {} #[cfg_attr(any(), unsafe(export_name = "c"))] fn b() {} ``` For a table showing the attributes that were considered to be included in the list to require unsafe, and subsequent reasoning about why each such attribute was or was not included, see [this comment here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124214#issuecomment-2124753464) ## Tests The relevant tests are in `tests/ui/rust-2024/unsafe-attributes` and `tests/ui/attributes/unsafe`.

r=compiler-errors Stabilize unsafe extern blocks (RFC 3484) # Stabilization report ## Summary This is a tracking issue for the RFC 3484: Unsafe Extern Blocks We are stabilizing `#![feature(unsafe_extern_blocks)]`, as described in [Unsafe Extern Blocks RFC 3484](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3484). This feature makes explicit that declaring an extern block is unsafe. Starting in Rust 2024, all extern blocks must be marked as unsafe. In all editions, items within unsafe extern blocks may be marked as safe to use. RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3484 Tracking issue: #123743 ## What is stabilized ### Summary of stabilization We now need extern blocks to be marked as unsafe and items inside can also have safety modifiers (unsafe or safe), by default items with no modifiers are unsafe to offer easy migration without surprising results. ```rust unsafe extern { // sqrt (from libm) may be called with any `f64` pub safe fn sqrt(x: f64) -> f64; // strlen (from libc) requires a valid pointer, // so we mark it as being an unsafe fn pub unsafe fn strlen(p: *const c_char) -> usize; // this function doesn't say safe or unsafe, so it defaults to unsafe pub fn free(p: *mut core::ffi::c_void); pub safe static IMPORTANT_BYTES: [u8; 256]; pub safe static LINES: SyncUnsafeCell<i32>; } ``` ## Tests The relevant tests are in `tests/ui/rust-2024/unsafe-extern-blocks`. ## History - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124482 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124455 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/125077 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/125522 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126738 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126749 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126755 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126757 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126758 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126756 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126973 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127535 - https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt/pull/6204 ## Unresolved questions I am not aware of any unresolved questions.

GuillaumeGomez:stabilize-custom_code_classes_in_docs, r=rustdoc Stabilize `custom_code_classes_in_docs` feature Fixes #79483. This feature has been around for quite some time now, I think it's fine to stabilize it now. ## Summary ## What is the feature about? In short, this PR changes two things, both related to codeblocks in doc comments in Rust documentation: * Allow to disable generation of `language-*` CSS classes with the `custom` attribute. * Add your own CSS classes to a code block so that you can use other tools to highlight them. #### The `custom` attribute Let's start with the new `custom` attribute: it will disable the generation of the `language-*` CSS class on the generated HTML code block. For example: ```rust /// ```custom,c /// int main(void) { /// return 0; /// } /// ``` ``` The generated HTML code block will not have `class="language-c"` because the `custom` attribute has been set. The `custom` attribute becomes especially useful with the other thing added by this feature: adding your own CSS classes. #### Adding your own CSS classes The second part of this feature is to allow users to add CSS classes themselves so that they can then add a JS library which will do it (like `highlight.js` or `prism.js`), allowing to support highlighting for other languages than Rust without increasing burden on rustdoc. To disable the automatic `language-*` CSS class generation, you need to use the `custom` attribute as well. This allow users to write the following: ```rust /// Some code block with `{class=language-c}` as the language string. /// /// ```custom,{class=language-c} /// int main(void) { /// return 0; /// } /// ``` fn main() {} ``` This will notably produce the following HTML: ```html <pre class="language-c"> int main(void) { return 0; }</pre> ``` Instead of: ```html <pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"> <span class="ident">int</span> <span class="ident">main</span>(<span class="ident">void</span>) { <span class="kw">return</span> <span class="number">0</span>; } </pre> ``` To be noted, we could have written `{.language-c}` to achieve the same result. `.` and `class=` have the same effect. One last syntax point: content between parens (`(like this)`) is now considered as comment and is not taken into account at all. In addition to this, I added an `unknown` field into `LangString` (the parsed code block "attribute") because of cases like this: ```rust /// ```custom,class:language-c /// main; /// ``` pub fn foo() {} ``` Without this `unknown` field, it would generate in the DOM: `<pre class="language-class:language-c language-c">`, which is quite bad. So instead, it now stores all unknown tags into the `unknown` field and use the first one as "language". So in this case, since there is no unknown tag, it'll simply generate `<pre class="language-c">`. I added tests to cover this. EDIT(camelid): This description is out-of-date. Using `custom,class:language-c` will generate the output `<pre class="language-class:language-c">` as would be expected; it treats `class:language-c` as just the name of a language (similar to the langstring `c` or `js` or what have you) since it does not use the designed class syntax. Finally, I added a parser for the codeblock attributes to make it much easier to maintain. It'll be pretty easy to extend. As to why this syntax for adding attributes was picked: it's [Pandoc's syntax](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-fenced_code_attributes). Even if it seems clunkier in some cases, it's extensible, and most third-party Markdown renderers are smart enough to ignore Pandoc's brace-delimited attributes (from [this comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110800#issuecomment-1522044456)). r? `@notriddle`

Default value of `collapse_debuginfo` was changed from `false` to `external` (i.e. collapsed if external, not collapsed if local). `#[collapse_debuginfo]` attribute without a value is no longer supported to avoid guessing the default.

privacy: Stabilize lint `unnameable_types` This is the last piece of ["RFC #2145: Type privacy and private-in-public lints"](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48054). Having unstable lints is not very useful because you cannot even dogfood them in the compiler/stdlib in this case (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/113284). The worst thing that may happen when a lint is removed are some `removed_lints` warnings, but I haven't heard anyone suggesting removing this specific lint. This lint is allow-by-default and is supposed to be enabled explicitly. Some false positives are expected, because sometimes unnameable types are a legitimate pattern. This lint also have some unnecessary false positives, that can be fixed - see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120146 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120149.

Stabilize associated type bounds (RFC 2289) This PR stabilizes associated type bounds, which were laid out in [RFC 2289]. This gives us a shorthand to express nested type bounds that would otherwise need to be expressed with nested `impl Trait` or broken into several `where` clauses. ### What are we stabilizing? We're stabilizing the associated item bounds syntax, which allows us to put bounds in associated type position within other bounds, i.e. `T: Trait<Assoc: Bounds...>`. See [RFC 2289] for motivation. In all position, the associated type bound syntax expands into a set of two (or more) bounds, and never anything else (see "How does this differ[...]" section for more info). Associated type bounds are stabilized in four positions: * **`where` clauses (and APIT)** - This is equivalent to breaking up the bound into two (or more) `where` clauses. For example, `where T: Trait<Assoc: Bound>` is equivalent to `where T: Trait, <T as Trait>::Assoc: Bound`. * **Supertraits** - Similar to above, `trait CopyIterator: Iterator<Item: Copy> {}`. This is almost equivalent to breaking up the bound into two (or more) `where` clauses; however, the bound on the associated item is implied whenever the trait is used. See #112573/#112629. * **Associated type item bounds** - This allows constraining the *nested* rigid projections that are associated with a trait's associated types. e.g. `trait Trait { type Assoc: Trait2<Assoc2: Copy>; }`. * **opaque item bounds (RPIT, TAIT)** - This allows constraining associated types that are associated with the opaque without having to *name* the opaque. For example, `impl Iterator<Item: Copy>` defines an iterator whose item is `Copy` without having to actually name that item bound. The latter three are not expressible in surface Rust (though for associated type item bounds, this will change in #120752, which I don't believe should block this PR), so this does represent a slight expansion of what can be expressed in trait bounds. ### How does this differ from the RFC? Compared to the RFC, the current implementation *always* desugars associated type bounds to sets of `ty::Clause`s internally. Specifically, it does *not* introduce a position-dependent desugaring as laid out in [RFC 2289], and in particular: * It does *not* desugar to anonymous associated items in associated type item bounds. * It does *not* desugar to nested RPITs in RPIT bounds, nor nested TAITs in TAIT bounds. This position-dependent desugaring laid out in the RFC existed simply to side-step limitations of the trait solver, which have mostly been fixed in #120584. The desugaring laid out in the RFC also added unnecessary complication to the design of the feature, and introduces its own limitations to, for example: * Conditionally lowering to nested `impl Trait` in certain positions such as RPIT and TAIT means that we inherit the limitations of RPIT/TAIT, namely lack of support for higher-ranked opaque inference. See this code example: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120752#issuecomment-1979412531. * Introducing anonymous associated types makes traits no longer object safe, since anonymous associated types are not nameable, and all associated types must be named in `dyn` types. This last point motivates why this PR is *not* stabilizing support for associated type bounds in `dyn` types, e.g, `dyn Assoc<Item: Bound>`. Why? Because `dyn` types need to have *concrete* types for all associated items, this would necessitate a distinct lowering for associated type bounds, which seems both complicated and unnecessary compared to just requiring the user to write `impl Trait` themselves. See #120719. ### Implementation history: Limited to the significant behavioral changes and fixes and relevant PRs, ping me if I left something out-- * #57428 * #108063 * #110512 * #112629 * #120719 * #120584 Closes #52662 [RFC 2289]: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2289-associated-type-bounds.html
