Use more precise span for E0282 in cast expressions
This pull request fixes#85586. The example code given there:
```rust
fn main() {
let a = [1, 2, 3].iter().sum();
let b = (a + 1) as usize;
}
```
currently produces
```
error[E0282]: type annotations needed
--> issue-85586.rs:3:13
|
3 | let b = (a + 1) as usize;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ cannot infer type
|
= note: type must be known at this point
error: aborting due to previous error
```
even though the type of the entire cast expression quite clearly should be `usize`. The error is in the cast's left-hand side, which is made explicit by the changes in this PR:

Fix incorrect suggestions for E0605
Fixes#84598. Here is a simplified version of the problem presented in issue #84598:
```Rust
#![allow(unused_variables)]
#![allow(dead_code)]
trait T { fn t(&self) -> i32; }
unsafe fn foo(t: *mut dyn T) {
(t as &dyn T).t();
}
fn main() {}
```
The current output is:
```
error[E0605]: non-primitive cast: `*mut (dyn T + 'static)` as `&dyn T`
--> src/main.rs:7:5
|
7 | (t as &dyn T).t();
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ invalid cast
|
help: borrow the value for the cast to be valid
|
7 | (&t as &dyn T).t();
| ^
```
This is incorrect, though: The cast will _not_ be valid when writing `&t` instead of `t`:
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `*mut (dyn T + 'static): T` is not satisfied
--> t4.rs:7:6
|
7 | (&t as &dyn T).t();
| ^^ the trait `T` is not implemented for `*mut (dyn T + 'static)`
|
= note: required for the cast to the object type `dyn T`
```
The correct suggestion is `&*t`, which I have implemented in this pull request. Of course, this suggestion will always require an unsafe block, but arguably, that's what the user really wants if they're trying to cast a pointer to a reference.
In any case, claiming that the cast will be valid after implementing the suggestion is overly optimistic, as the coercion logic doesn't seem to resolve all nested obligations, i.e. the cast may still be invalid after implementing the suggestion. I have therefore rephrased the suggestion slightly ("consider borrowing the value" instead of "borrow the value for the cast to be valid").
Additionally, I have fixed another incorrect suggestion not mentioned in #84598, which relates to casting immutable references to mutable ones:
```rust
fn main() {
let mut x = 0;
let m = &x as &mut i32;
}
```
currently leads to
```
error[E0605]: non-primitive cast: `&i32` as `&mut i32`
--> t5.rs:3:13
|
3 | let m = &x as &mut i32;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ invalid cast
|
help: borrow the value for the cast to be valid
|
3 | let m = &mut &x as &mut i32;
| ^^^^
```
which is obviously incorrect:
```
error[E0596]: cannot borrow data in a `&` reference as mutable
--> t5.rs:3:13
|
3 | let m = &mut &x as &mut i32;
| ^^^^^^^ cannot borrow as mutable
```
I've changed the suggestion to a note explaining the problem:
```
error[E0605]: non-primitive cast: `&i32` as `&mut i32`
--> t5.rs:3:13
|
3 | let m = &x as &mut i32;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ invalid cast
|
note: this reference is immutable
--> t5.rs:3:13
|
3 | let m = &x as &mut i32;
| ^^
note: trying to cast to a mutable reference type
--> t5.rs:3:19
|
3 | let m = &x as &mut i32;
| ^^^^^^^^
```
In this example, it would have been even nicer to suggest replacing `&x` with `&mut x`, but this would be much more complex because we would have to take apart the expression to be cast (currently, we only look at its type), and `&x` could be stored in a variable, where such a suggestion would not even be directly applicable:
```rust
fn main() {
let mut x = 0;
let r = &x;
let m = r as &mut i32;
}
```
My solution covers this case, too.
Deprecate the core::raw / std::raw module
It only contains the `TraitObject` struct which exposes components of wide pointer. Pointer metadata APIs are designed to replace this: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81513
If a symbol name can only be imported from one place for a type, and
as long as it was not glob-imported anywhere in the current crate, we
can trim its printed path and print only the name.
This has wide implications on error messages with types, for example,
shortening `std::vec::Vec` to just `Vec`, as long as there is no other
`Vec` importable anywhere.
This adds a new '-Z trim-diagnostic-paths=false' option to control this
feature.
On the good path, with no diagnosis printed, we should try to avoid
issuing this query, so we need to prevent trimmed_def_paths query on
several cases.
This change also relies on a previous commit that differentiates
between `Debug` and `Display` on various rustc types, where the latter
is trimmed and presented to the user and the former is not.
- Suggest borrowing expression if it would allow cast to work.
- Suggest using `<Type>::from(<expr>)` when appropriate.
- Minor tweak to `;` typo suggestion.
Partily address #47136.
`hir::BorrowKind::Raw` borrows and casting a reference to a raw
pointer no longer do a reborrow followed by a cast. Instead we
dereference and take the address.
