2025-04-11Auto merge of #139578 - ferrocene:pa-compiletest-edition, r=jieyouxubors-8/+8
Fix breakage when running compiletest with `--test-args=--edition=2015` Compiletest has an `--edition` flag to change the default edition tests are run with. Unfortunately no test suite successfully executes when that flag is passed. If the edition is set to something greater than 2015 the breakage is expected, since the test suite currently supports only edition 2015 (Ferrous Systems will open an MCP about fixing that soonish). Surprisingly, the test suite is also broken if `--edition=2015` is passed to compiletest. This PR focuses on fixing the latter. This PR fixes the two categories of failures happening when `--edition=2015` is passed: * Some edition-specific tests set their edition through `//@ compile-flags` instead of `//@ edition`. Compiletest doesn't parse the compile flags, so it would see no `//@ edition` and add another `--edition` flag, leading to a rustc error. * Compiletest would add the edition after `//@ compile-flags`, while some tests depend on flags passed to `//@ compile-flags` being the last flags in the rustc invocation. Note that for the first category, I opted to manually go and replace all `//@ compile-flags` setting an edition with an explicit `//@ edition`. We could've changed compiletest to instead check whether an edition was set in `//@ compile-flags`, but I thought it was better to enforce a consistent way to set the edition in tests. I also added the edition to the stamp, so that changing `--edition` results in tests being re-executed. r? `@jieyouxu`

2025-04-11Rollup merge of #139469 - jieyouxu:compiletest-supports-crate-type, r=onur-ozkanStuart Cook-1/+6
Introduce a `//@ needs-crate-type` compiletest directive The `//@ needs-crate-type: $crate_types...` directive takes a comma-separated list of crate types that the target platform must support in order for the test to be run. This allows the test writer to semantically convey that the ignore condition is based on target crate type needs, instead of using a general purpose `//@ ignore-$target` directive (often without comment). Fixes #132309. ### Example ```rs //@ needs-crate-type: dylib (ignored on e.g. wasm32-unknown-unknown) //@ compile-flags: --crate-type=dylib fn foo() {} ``` ### Review advice - Best reviewed commit-by-commit. - The impl is not very clean, I briefly attempted to clean up the directive handling but found that more invasive changes are needed, so I'd like to not block on the cleanup for now. try-job: test-various try-job: armhf-gnu

and its use cases in more detail
2025-04-10Add minimal x86_64-lynx-lynxos178 support.Tim Newsome-0/+79
It's possible to build no_std programs with this compiler. > A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.) Tim Newsome (@tnewsome-lynx) will be the designated developer for x86_64-lynx-lynxos178 support. > Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target. I believe the target is named appropriately. > Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it. The target name is not confusing. > If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name. Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo. Done. > Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for Rust developers or users. > The target must not introduce license incompatibilities. > Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust license (MIT OR Apache-2.0). All this new code is licensed under the Apache-2.0 license. > The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding new license exceptions (as specified by the tidy tool in the rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be subject to any new license requirements. Done. > Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries. Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require such libraries at all. For instance, rustc built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3. I think we're in the clear here. We do link against some static libraries that are proprietary (like libm and libc), but those are not used to generate code. E.g. the VxWorks target requires `wr-c++` to be installed, which is not publically available. > "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" legal/licensing terms include but are not limited to: non-disclosure requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its developers or users. Our intention is to allow anyone with access to LynxOS CDK to use Rust for it. > Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise participate in discussions. > This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements. No problem. > Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions. With this first PR, only core is supported. I am working on support for the std library and intend to submit that once all the tests are passing. > The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary. This is documented in `src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/lynxos_178.md`. > Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via @) to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages. > Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested such notifications. Understood. > Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target. > In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets, such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target. As far as I know this change does not affect any other targets. > Tier 3 targets must be able to produce assembly using at least one of rustc's supported backends from any host target. (Having support in a fork of the backend is not sufficient, it must be upstream.) Many targets produce assembly for x86_64 so that also works for LynxOS-178.

remove `feature(inline_const_pat)` Summarizing https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/144729-t-types/topic/remove.20feature.28inline_const_pat.29.20and.20shared.20borrowck. With https://github.com/rust-lang/types-team/issues/129 we will start to borrowck items together with their typeck parent. This is necessary to correctly support opaque types, blocking the new solver and TAIT/ATPIT stabilization with the old one. This means that we cannot really support `inline_const_pat` as they are implemented right now: - we want to typeck inline consts together with their parent body to allow inference to flow both ways and to allow the const to refer to local regions of its parent.This means we also need to borrowck the inline const together with its parent as that's necessary to properly support opaque types - we want the inline const pattern to participate in exhaustiveness checking - to participate in exhaustiveness checking we need to evaluate it, which requires borrowck, which now relies on borrowck of the typeck root, which ends up checking exhaustiveness again. **This is a query cycle**. There are 4 possible ways to handle this: - stop typechecking inline const patterns together with their parent - causes inline const patterns to be different than inline const exprs - prevents bidirectional inference, we need to either fail to compile `if let const { 1 } = 1u32` or `if let const { 1u32 } = 1` - region inference for inline consts will be harder, it feels non-trivial to support inline consts referencing local regions from the parent fn - inline consts no longer participate in exhaustiveness checking. Treat them like `pat if pat == const { .. }` instead. We then only evaluate them after borrowck - difference between `const { 1 }` and `const FOO: usize = 1; match x { FOO => () }`. This is confusing - do they carry their weight if they are now just equivalent to using an if-guard - delay exhaustiveness checking until after borrowck - should be possible in theory, but is a quite involved change and may have some unexpected challenges - remove this feature for now I believe we should either delay exhaustiveness checking or remove the feature entirely. As moving exhaustiveness checking to after borrow checking is quite complex I think the right course of action is to fully remove the feature for now and to add it again once/if we've got that implementation figured out. `const { .. }`-expressions remain stable. These seem to have been the main motivation for https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/2920. r? types cc `@rust-lang/types` `@rust-lang/lang` #76001

Introduce `-Zembed-metadata` to allow omitting full metadata from rlibs and dylibs This is a continuation of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120855 (I was mentored by `@bjorn3` to move it forward). Most of the original code was written by bjorn3, I tried to clean it up a bit and add some documentation and tests. This PR introduces a new unstable compiler flag called `-Zembed-metadata=[no|yes]`, with the default being `yes` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57076 for context). When set to `no`, rustc will only store a small metadata stub inside rlibs/dylibs instead of the full metadata, to keep their size smaller. It should be used in combination with `--emit=metadata`, so that the users of such a compiled library can still read the metadata from the corresponding `.rmeta` file. [This comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120855#issuecomment-1937018169) shows an example of binary/artifact size wins that can be achieved using this approach. Contrary to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120855, this PR only introduces the new flag, along with a couple of run-make tests and documentation, but does not yet use it in bootstrap to actually compile rustc. I plan to do that as a follow-up step (along with integration in Cargo, which should ideally just always pass this flag to reduce the size of target directories).
