rustc: Implement the #[global_allocator] attribute
This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of
defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old
`#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it.
[RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1974
The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the
`#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate
graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the
allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how
this feature is implemented.

This change allows the user to add an `#[allow_fail]` attribute to
tests that will cause the test to compile & run, but if the test fails
it will not cause the entire test run to fail. The test output will
show the failure, but in yellow instead of red, and also indicate that
it was an allowed failure.

Initial implementation of declarative macros 2.0
Implement declarative macros 2.0 (rust-lang/rfcs#1584) behind `#![feature(decl_macro)]`.
Differences from `macro_rules!` include:
- new syntax: `macro m(..) { .. }` instead of `macro_rules! m { (..) => { .. } }`
- declarative macros are items:
```rust
// crate A:
pub mod foo {
m!(); // use before definition; declaration order is irrelevant
pub macro m() {} // `pub`, `pub(super)`, etc. work
}
fn main() {
foo::m!(); // named like other items
{ use foo::m as n; n!(); } // imported like other items
}
pub use foo::m; // re-exported like other items
// crate B:
extern crate A; // no need for `#[macro_use]`
A::foo::m!(); A::m!();
```
- Racket-like hygiene for items, imports, methods, fields, type parameters, privacy, etc.
- Intuitively, names in a macro definition are resolved in the macro definition's scope, not the scope in which the macro is used.
- This [explaination](http://beautifulracket.com/explainer/hygiene.html) of hygiene for Racket applies here (except for the "Breaking Hygiene" section). I wrote a similar [explanation](https://github.com/jseyfried/rfcs/blob/hygiene/text/0000-hygiene.md) for Rust.
- Generally speaking, if `fn f() { <body> }` resolves, `pub macro m() { <body> } ... m!()` also resolves, even if `m!()` is in a separate crate.
- `::foo::bar` in a `macro` behaves like `$crate::foo::bar` in a `macro_rules!`, except it can access everything visible from the `macro` (thus more permissive).
- See [`src/test/{run-pass, compile-fail}/hygiene`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/40847/commits/afe7d89858fd72b983e24727d6f4058293153c19) for examples. Small example:
```rust
mod foo {
fn f() { println!("hello world"); }
pub macro m() { f(); }
}
fn main() { foo::m!(); }
```
Limitations:
- This does not address planned changes to matchers (`expr`,`ty`, etc.), c.f. #26361.
- Lints (including stability and deprecation) and `unsafe` are not hygienic.
- adding hygiene here will be mostly or entirely backwards compatible
- Nested macro definitions (a `macro` inside another `macro`) don't always work correctly when invoked from external crates.
- pending improvements in how we encode macro definitions in crate metadata
- There is no way to "escape" hygiene without using a procedural macro.

When -Z profile is passed, the GCDAProfiling LLVM pass is added
to the pipeline, which uses debug information to instrument the IR.
After compiling with -Z profile, the $(OUT_DIR)/$(CRATE_NAME).gcno
file is created, containing initial profiling information.
After running the program built, the $(OUT_DIR)/$(CRATE_NAME).gcda
file is created, containing branch counters.
The created *.gcno and *.gcda files can be processed using
the "llvm-cov gcov" and "lcov" tools. The profiling data LLVM
generates does not faithfully follow the GCC's format for *.gcno
and *.gcda files, and so it will probably not work with other tools
(such as gcov itself) that consume these files.

`[default] [unsafe] impl` and typecheck
|
|
this commit implements the first step of the `default impl` feature:
all items in a `default impl` are (implicitly) `default` and hence
specializable.
In order to test this feature I've copied all the tests provided for the
`default` method implementation (in run-pass/specialization and
compile-fail/specialization directories) and moved the `default` keyword
from the item to the impl.
See referenced issue for further info

Prior to this commit, the contents of the Unstable Book were assumed to
be unstable features. This commit moves features into 'language features'
or 'library features' subsections. It also moves the 'linker_flavor'
compiler flag into a new 'Compiler Flags' subsection.
Even though it was helpful, I removed the tidy check that
cross-references the SUMMARY.md links with the Unstable Book directory
contents just because it would be difficult to maintain.
Relevant PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41142.

I've added some explicit tests that negative impls are allowed to
overlap, and also to make sure that the feature doesn't interfere with
specialization. I've not added an explicit test for positive overlapping
with negative, as that's already tested elsewhere.

-Z linker-flavor
(Please read the commit message first)
This PR is an alternative to rust-lang/rust#36120 (internal lld linker). The
main goal of this PR is to make it *possible* to use LLD as a linker to allow
out of tree experimentation. Now that LLD is going to be shipped with LLVM 4.0,
it should become easier to get a hold of LLD (hopefully, it will be packaged by
Linux distros soon).
Since LLD is a multiarch linker, it has the potential to make cross compilation
easier (less tools need to be installed). Supposedly, LLD is also faster than
the gold linker so LLD may improve build times where link times are significant
(e.g. 100% incremental compilation reuse).
The place where LLD shines is at linking Rust programs that don't depend on
system libraries. For example, here's how you would link a bare metal ARM
Cortex-M program:
```
$ xargo rustc --target thumbv7m-none-eabi -- -Z linker-flavor=ld -C linker=ld.lld -Z print-link-args
"ld.lld" \
"-L" \
"$XARGO_HOME/lib/rustlib/thumbv7m-none-eabi/lib" \
"$PWD/target/thumbv7m-none-eabi/debug/deps/app-de1f86df314ad68c.0.o" \

$ file target/thumbv7m-none-eabi/debug/app
app: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped, with debug_info
```
This doesn't require installing the `arm-none-eabi-gcc` toolchain.
Even cooler (but I'm biased) is that you can link Rust programs that use
[`steed`] (`steed` is a `std` re-implementation free of C dependencies for Linux
systems) instead of `std` for a bunch of different architectures without having
to install a single cross toolchain.
[`steed`]: https://github.com/japaric/steed
```
$ xargo rustc --target aarch64-unknown-linux-steed --example hello --release -- -Z print-link-args

---
The case where lld is unergonomic is linking binaries that depend on system
libraries. Like "Hello, world" for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`. Because you have
to pass as linker arguments: the path to the startup objects, the path to the
dynamic linker and the library search paths. And all those are system specific
so they can't be encoded in the target itself.
```
$ cargo \
rustc \
--release \
-- \
-C \
linker=ld.lld \
-Z \
linker-flavor=ld \
-C \
link-args='-dynamic-linker /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1 /usr/lib/Scrt1.o /usr/lib/crti.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/crtbeginS.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.3.1/crtendS.o /usr/lib/crtn.o'
```

Another case where `-Z linker-flavor` may come in handy is directly calling
Solaris' linker which is also a multiarch linker (or so I have heard). cc

#[used] attribute
(For an explanation of what this feature does, read the commit message)
I'd like to propose landing this as an experimental feature (experimental as in:
no clear stabilization path -- like `asm!`, `#[linkage]`) as it's low
maintenance (I think) and relevant to the "Usage in resource-constrained
environments" exploration area.
The main use case I see is running code before `main`. This could be used, for
instance, to cheaply initialize an allocator before `main` where the alternative
is to use `lazy_static` to initialize the allocator on its first use which it's
more expensive (atomics) and doesn't work on ARM Cortex-M0 microcontrollers (no
`AtomicUsize` on that platform)
Here's a `std` example of that:
``` rust
unsafe extern "C" fn before_main_1() {
println!("Hello");
}
unsafe extern "C" fn before_main_2() {
println!("World");
}
#[link_section = ".init_arary"]
#[used]
static INIT_ARRAY: [unsafe extern "C" fn(); 2] = [before_main_1, before_main_2];
fn main() {
println!("Goodbye");
}
```
```
$ rustc -C lto -C opt-level=3 before_main.rs
$ ./before_main
Hello
World
Goodbye
```
In general, this pattern could be used to let *dependencies* run code before
`main` (which sounds like it could go very wrong in some cases). There are
probably other use cases; I hope that the people I have cc-ed can comment on
those.
Note that I'm personally unsure if the above pattern is something we want to
promote / allow and that's why I'm proposing this feature as experimental. If
this leads to more footguns than benefits then we can just axe the feature.
cc @nikomatsakis ^ I know you have some thoughts on having a process for
experimental features though I'm fine with writing an RFC before landing this.
- `dead_code` lint will have to be updated to special case `#[used]` symbols.
- Should we extend `#[used]` to work on non-generic functions?

similar to GCC's __attribute((used))__. This attribute prevents LLVM from
optimizing away a non-exported symbol, within a compilation unit (object file),
when there are no references to it.
This is better explained with an example:
```
#[used]
static LIVE: i32 = 0;
static REFERENCED: i32 = 0;
static DEAD: i32 = 0;
fn internal() {}
pub fn exported() -> &'static i32 {
&REFERENCED
}
```
Without optimizations, LLVM pretty much preserves all the static variables and
functions within the compilation unit.
```
$ rustc --crate-type=lib --emit=obj symbols.rs && nm -C symbols.o
0000000000000000 t drop::h1be0f8f27a2ba94a
0000000000000000 r symbols::REFERENCED::hb3bdfd46050bc84c
0000000000000000 r symbols::DEAD::hc2ea8f9bd06f380b
0000000000000000 r symbols::LIVE::h0970cf9889edb56e
0000000000000000 T symbols::exported::h6f096c2b1fc292b2
0000000000000000 t symbols::internal::h0ac1aadbc1e3a494
```
With optimizations, LLVM will drop dead code. Here `internal` is dropped because
it's not a exported function/symbol (i.e. not `pub`lic). `DEAD` is dropped for
the same reason. `REFERENCED` is preserved, even though it's not exported,
because it's referenced by the `exported` function. Finally, `LIVE` survives
because of the `#[used]` attribute even though it's not exported or referenced.
```
$ rustc --crate-type=lib -C opt-level=3 --emit=obj symbols.rs && nm -C symbols.o
0000000000000000 r symbols::REFERENCED::hb3bdfd46050bc84c
0000000000000000 r symbols::LIVE::h0970cf9889edb56e
0000000000000000 T symbols::exported::h6f096c2b1fc292b2
```
Note that the linker knows nothing about `#[used]` and will drop `LIVE`
because no other object references to it.
```
$ echo 'fn main() {}' >> symbols.rs
$ rustc symbols.rs && nm -C symbols | grep LIVE
```
At this time, `#[used]` only works on `static` variables.
|
|
This commit stabilizes the `#![windows_subsystem]` attribute which is a
conservative exposure of the `/SUBSYSTEM` linker flag on Widnows platforms. This
is useful for creating applications as well as console programs.
Closes #37499
