From 5c462a32bd31d19cacbd15786fb0fa40558eda91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Nethercote Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2023 13:54:17 +1100 Subject: Remove support for compiler plugins. They've been deprecated for four years. This commit includes the following changes. - It eliminates the `rustc_plugin_impl` crate. - It changes the language used for lints in `compiler/rustc_driver_impl/src/lib.rs` and `compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs`. External lints are now called "loaded" lints, rather than "plugins" to avoid confusion with the old plugins. This only has a tiny effect on the output of `-W help`. - E0457 and E0498 are no longer used. - E0463 is narrowed, now only relating to unfound crates, not plugins. - The `plugin` feature was moved from "active" to "removed". - It removes the entire plugins chapter from the unstable book. - It removes quite a few tests, mostly all of those in `tests/ui-fulldeps/plugin/`. Closes #29597. --- compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0457.md | 2 ++ compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0463.md | 9 +++------ compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0498.md | 4 +++- 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'compiler/rustc_error_codes/src') diff --git a/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0457.md b/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0457.md index 2c33d1e6a24..e2dbf53a0f8 100644 --- a/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0457.md +++ b/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0457.md @@ -1,3 +1,5 @@ +#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler` + Plugin `..` only found in rlib format, but must be available in dylib format.
