These are some samples that I have been focusing on improving over
time. In this PR, I mainly want to stem the bleeding where we in some
cases we show an error that gives you no possible way to divine the
problem.
[MIR] SwitchInt Everywhere
Something I've been meaning to do for a very long while. This PR essentially gets rid of 3 kinds of conditional branching and only keeps the most general one - `SwitchInt`. Primary benefits are such that dealing with MIR now does not involve dealing with 3 different ways to do conditional control flow. On the other hand, constructing a `SwitchInt` currently requires more code than what previously was necessary to build an equivalent `If` terminator. Something trivially "fixable" with some constructor methods somewhere (MIR needs stuff like that badly in general).
Some timings (tl;dr: slightly faster^1 (unexpected), but also uses slightly more memory at peak (expected)):
^1: Not sure if the speed benefits are because of LLVM liking the generated code better or the compiler itself getting compiled better. Either way, its a net benefit. The CORE and SYNTAX timings done for compilation without optimisation.

improve error message when two-arg assert_eq! receives a trailing comma
Previously, `assert_eq!(left, right,)` (respectively, `assert_ne!(left,
right,)`; note the trailing comma) would result in a confusing "requires
at least a format string argument" error. In reality, a format string is
optional, but the trailing comma puts us into the "match a token tree of
zero or more tokens" branch of the macro (in order to support the
optional format string), and passing the empty token tree into
`format_args!` results in the confusing error. If instead we match a
token tree of one or more tokens, we get a much more sensible
"unexpected end of macro invocation" error.
While we're here, fix up a stray space before a comma in the match
guards.
Resolves#39369.

**Before:**
```
$ rustc scratch.rs
error: requires at least a format string argument
--> scratch.rs:2:5
|
2 | assert_eq!(1, 2,);
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: this error originates in a macro outside of the current crate
error: aborting due to previous error
```
**After:**
```
$ ./build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/bin/rustc scratch.rs
error: unexpected end of macro invocation
--> scratch.rs:2:20

2 | assert_eq!(1, 2,);

Improve error message for uninferrable types #38812
Hello,
I tried to improve the error message for uninferrable types. The error code is `E0282`.
```rust
error[E0282]: type annotations needed
--> /home/cengizIO/issue38812.rs:2:11
|
2 | let x = vec![];
| - ^^^^^^ cannot infer type for `T`
| |
| consider giving `x` a type
|
= note: this error originates in a macro outside of the current crate
```
and
```rust
error[E0282]: type annotations needed
--> /home/cengizIO/issue38812.rs:2:15
|
2 | let (x,) = (vec![],);
| ---- ^^^^^^ cannot infer type for `T`
| |
| consider giving a type to pattern
|
= note: this error originates in a macro outside of the current crate
```
Rust compiler now tries to find uninferred `local`s with type `_` and adds them into the error message.
I'm probably wrong on wording that I used. Please feel free to suggest better alternatives.
Thanks @nikomatsakis for mentoring 🍺
Any comments/feedback is more than welcome!
Thank you

Resolves#39369.
This is the full and proper fix for #32330. This also makes some effort
to give a nice error message (as evidenced by the `ui` test), sending
users over to the tracking issue for a full explanation.
Don't suggest to use things which weren't found either
Fixes#38054
The best code I can come up with, suggestions are welcome.
Basically, removing ```. Did you mean to use `DoesntExist1`?``` in the code below, because it is useless.
```rust
error[E0432]: unresolved import `DoesntExist1`
--> src/lib.rs:1:5
|
1 | use DoesntExist1;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ no `DoesntExist1` in the root
error[E0432]: unresolved import `DoesntExist2`
--> src/lib.rs:2:5
|
2 | use DoesntExist2;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ no `DoesntExist2` in the root. Did you mean to use `DoesntExist1`?
```
Expand derive macros in the MacroExpander
This removes the expand_derives function, and sprinkles the functionality throughout the Invocation Collector, Expander and Resolver.

r? @jseyfried
Previously, the note/message for the source of a lint being the command
line unconditionally named the individual lint, even if the actual
command specified a lint group (e.g., `-D warnings`); here, we take note
of the actual command options so we can be more specific.
This remains in the matter of #36846.
Warning or error messages set via a lint group attribute
(e.g. `#[deny(warnings)]`) should still make it clear which individual
lint (by name) was triggered, similarly to how we include "on by
default" language for default lints. This—and, while we're here, the
existing "on by default" language—can be tucked into a note rather than
cluttering the main error message. This occasions the slightest of
refactorings (we now have to get the diagnostic-builder with the main
message first, before matching on the lint source).
This is in the matter of #36846.
Add clearer error message using `&str + &str`
This is the first part of #39018. One of the common things for new users
coming from more dynamic languages like JavaScript, Python or Ruby is to
use `+` to concatenate strings. However, this doesn't work that way in
Rust unless the first type is a `String`. This commit adds a check for
this use case and outputs a new error as well as a suggestion to guide
the user towards the desired behavior. It also adds a new test case to
test the output of the error.
Privatize constructors of tuple structs with private fields
This PR implements the strictest version of such "privatization" - it just sets visibilities for struct constructors, this affects everything including imports.
```
visibility(struct_ctor) = min(visibility(struct), visibility(field_1), ..., visibility(field_N))
```
Needs crater run before proceeding.

rustc: Remove all "consider using an explicit lifetime parameter" suggestions
These give so many incorrect suggestions that having them is
detrimental to the user experience. The compiler should not be
suggesting changes to the code that are wrong - it is infuriating: not
only is the compiler telling you that _you don't understand_ borrowing,
_the compiler itself_ appears to not understand borrowing. It does not
inspire confidence.

Point to immutable borrow arguments and fields when trying to use them as
mutable borrows. Add label to primary span on "cannot borrow as mutable"
errors.
Present the following output when trying to access an immutable borrow's
field as mutable:
```

26 | fn f(&self) {
| ----- use `&mut self` here to make mutable
27 | f.s.push('x');
| ^^^ assignment into an immutable reference
```
And the following when trying to access an immutable struct field as mutable:
```
error: cannot borrow immutable borrowed content `*self.s` as mutable
--> $DIR/issue-38147-3.rs:17:9
|
12 | s: &'a String
