Clarify stability guarantee for lifetimes in enum discriminants
Since `std::mem::Discriminant` erases lifetimes, it should be clarified that changing the concrete value of a lifetime parameter does not change the value of an enum discriminant for a given variant. This is useful as it guarantees that it is safe to transmute `Discriminant<Foo<'a>>` to `Discriminant<Foo<'b>>` for any combination of `'a` and `'b`. This also holds for type-generics as long as the type parameters do not change, e.g. `Discriminant<Foo<T, 'a>>` can be transmuted to `Discriminant<Foo<T, 'b>>`.
Side note: Is what I've written actually enough to imply soundness (or rather codify it), or should it specifically be spelled out that it's OK to transmute in the above way?
Add `suggestion` for some `#[deprecated]` items
Consider code:
```rust
fn main() {
let _ = ["a", "b"].connect(" ");
}
```
Currently it shows deprecated warning:
```rust
warning: use of deprecated method `std::slice::<impl [T]>::connect`: renamed to join
--> src/main.rs:2:24
|
2 | let _ = ["a", "b"].connect(" ");
| ^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(deprecated)]` on by default
```
This PR adds `suggestion` for `connect` and some other deprecated items, so the warning will be changed to this:
```rust
warning: use of deprecated method `std::slice::<impl [T]>::connect`: renamed to join
--> src/main.rs:2:24
|
2 | let _ = ["a", "b"].connect(" ");
| ^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(deprecated)]` on by default
help: replace the use of the deprecated method
|
2 | let _ = ["a", "b"].join(" ");
| ^^^^
```
This patch adds the `#[rustc_coinductive]` annotation to
`BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`, so that it's possible to compute transmutability for
recursive types.
Warn on unused `offset_of!()` result
The usage of `core::hint::must_use()` means that we don't get a specialized message. I figured out that since there are plenty of other methods that just have `#[must_use]` with no message it'll be fine, but it is a bit unfortunate that the error mentions `must_use` and not `offset_of!`.
Fixes#111669.
Implement builtin # syntax and use it for offset_of!(...)
Add `builtin #` syntax to the parser, as well as a generic infrastructure to support both item and expression position builtin syntaxes. The PR also uses this infrastructure for the implementation of the `offset_of!` macro, added by #106934.

This takes a whole 3 lines in `compiler/` since it lowers to `CastKind::Transmute` in MIR *exactly* the same as the existing `intrinsics::transmute` does, it just doesn't have the fancy checking in `hir_typeck`.
Added to enable experimenting with the request in <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106281#issuecomment-1496648190> and because the portable-simd folks might be interested for dependently-sized array-vector conversions.
It also simplifies a couple places in `core`.
This patch updates the error reporting when Safe Transmute is not
possible between 2 types by including the reason.
Also, fix some small bugs that occur when computing the `Answer` for
transmutability.
