Rollup merge of #119708 - compiler-errors:pointer-like, r=Nilstrieb
Unions are not `PointerLike`

I introduced the `PointerLike` trait to enforce `dyn*` coercions only from types that share the same ABI as a pointer. On top of needing to be scalar, they also should not be unions, since CTFE chokes on scalar reads for union types.

Impl trait diagnostic tweaks

1. Tweak some names for `impl Trait` being used in the wrong position
2. Remove two helper functions that are no longer needed since RPITIT is stable, and which causes matches to be a bit obtuse.
3. Split and fix the part where the error notes that it's "only allowed in XX"

Rollup merge of #116129 - fu5ha:better-pin-docs-2, r=Amanieu
Rewrite `pin` module documentation to clarify usage and invariants

The documentation of `pin` today does not give a complete treatment of pinning from first principles, nor does it adequately help build intuition and understanding for how the different elements of the pinning story fit together.

This rewrite attempts to address these in a way that makes the concept more approachable while also making the documentation more normative.

This PR picks up where `@mcy` left off in #88500 (thanks to him for the original work and `@Manishearth` for mentioning it such that I originally found it). I've directly incorporated much of the feedback left on the original PR and have rewritten and changed some of the main conceits of the prose to better adhere to the feedback from the reviewers on that PR or just explain something in (hopefully) a better way.

Run Miri and mir-opt tests without a target linker

Normally, we need a linker for the target to build the standard library. That's only because `std` declares crate-type lib and dylib; building the dylib is what creates a need for the linker.

But for mir-opt tests (and for Miri) we do not need to build a `libstd.so`. So with this PR, when we build the standard library for mir-opt tests, instead of `cargo build` we run `cargo rustc --crate-type=lib` which overrides the configured crate types in `std`'s manifest.

I've also swapped in what seems to me a better hack than `BOOTSTRAP_SKIP_TARGET_SANITY` to prevent cross-interpreting with Miri from checking for a target linker and expanded it to mir-opt tests too. Whether it's actually better is up to a reviewer.

Rollup merge of #119591 - Enselic:DestinationPropagation-stable, r=cjgillot
rustc_mir_transform: Make DestinationPropagation stable for queries

By using `FxIndexMap` instead of `FxHashMap`, so that the order of visiting of locals is deterministic.

We also need to bless
`copy_propagation_arg.foo.DestinationPropagation.panic*.diff`. Do not review the diff of the diff. Instead look at the diff files before and after this commit. Both before and after this commit, 3 statements are replaced with nop. It's just that due to change in ordering, different statements are replaced. But the net result is the same. In other words, compare this diff (before fix):
* 090d5eac72/tests/mir-opt/dest-prop/copy_propagation_arg.foo.DestinationPropagation.panic-unwind.diff

With this diff (after fix):
* f603babd63/tests/mir-opt/dest-prop/copy_propagation_arg.foo.DestinationPropagation.panic-unwind.diff

and you can see that both before and after the fix, we replace 3 statements with `nop`s.

I find it _slightly_ surprising that the test this PR affects did not previously fail spuriously due to the indeterminism of `FxHashMap`, but I guess in can be explained with the predictability of small `FxHashMap`s with `usize` (`Local`) keys, or something along those lines.

This should fix [this](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119252#discussion_r1436101791) comment, but I wanted to make a separate PR for this fix for a simpler development and review process.

rustdoc: search for tuples and unit by type with `()`

This feature extends rustdoc to support the syntax that most users will naturally attempt to use to search for tuples. Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60485

Function signature searches already support tuples and unit. The explicit name `primitive:tuple` and `primitive:unit` can be used to match a tuple or unit, while `()` will match either one. It also follows the direction set by the actual language for parens as a group, so `(u8,)` will only match a tuple, while `(u8)` will match a plain, unwrapped byte—thanks to loose search semantics, it will also match the tuple.

## Preview

* [`option<t>, option<u> -> (t, u)`](<https://notriddle.com/rustdoc-html-demo-5/tuple-unit/std/index.html?search=option%3Ct%3E%2C option%3Cu%3E -%3E (t%2C u)>)
* [`[t] -> (t,)`](<https://notriddle.com/rustdoc-html-demo-5/tuple-unit/std/index.html?search=[t] -%3E (t%2C)>)
* [`(ipaddr,) -> socketaddr`](<https://notriddle.com/rustdoc-html-demo-5/tuple-unit/std/index.html?search=(ipaddr%2C) -%3E socketaddr>)

## Motivation

When type-based search was first landed, it was directly [described as incomplete][a comment].

[a comment]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/23289#issuecomment-79437386

Filling out the missing functionality is going to mean adding support for more of Rust's [type expression] syntax, such as tuples (in this PR), references, raw pointers, function pointers, and closures.

[type expression]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/types.html#type-expressions

There does seem to be demand for this sort of thing, such as [this Discord message](https://discord.com/channels/442252698964721669/443150878111694848/1042145740065099796) expressing regret at rustdoc not supporting tuples in search queries.

A single type expression wrapped in parens is the same as that type expression, since parens act as the grouping operator. If they're empty, though, they will match both `unit` and `tuple`, and if there's more than one type (or a trailing or leading comma) it is the same as `primitive:tuple<...>`.

However, since items can be left out of the query, `(T)` will still return results for types that match tuples, even though it also matches the type on its own. That is, `(u32)` matches `(u32,)` for the exact same reason that it also matches `Result<u32, Error>`.

## Future direction

</code></pre>

ImplTraitType and TraitObjectType (and ImplTraitTypeOneBound and TraitObjectTypeOneBound) are not yet implemented. They would mostly desugar to `trait:`, similarly to how `!` desugars to `primitive:never`.

ParenthesizedType and TuplePath are added in this PR.

TypePath is already implemented (except const generics, which is not planned, and function-like trait syntax, which is planned as part of closure support).

NeverType is already implemented.

RawPointerType and ReferenceType require parsing and fixes to the search index to store this information, but otherwise their behavior seems simple enough. Just like tuples and slices, `&T` would be equivalent to `primitive:reference<T>`, `&mut T` would be equivalent to `primitive:reference<keyword:mut, T>`, `*T` would be equivalent to `primitive:pointer<T>`, `*mut T` would be equivalent to `primitive:pointer<keyword:mut, T>`, and `*const T` would be equivalent to `primitive:pointer<keyword:const, T>`. Lifetime generics support is not planned, because lifetime subtyping seems too complicated.

ArrayType is subsumed by SliceType right now. Implementing const generics is not planned, because it seems like it would require a lot of implementation complexity for not much gain.

InferredType isn't really covered right now. Its semantics in a search context are not obvious.

QualifiedPathInType is not implemented, and it is not planned. I would need a use case to justify it, and act as a guide for what the exact semantics should be.

BareFunctionType is not implemented. Along with function-like trait syntax, which is formally considered a TypePath, it's the biggest missing feature to be able to do structured searches over generic APIs like `Option`.

MacroInvocation is not parsed (macro names are, but they don't mean the same thing here at all). Those are gone by the time Rustdoc sees the source code.

Avoid specialization in the metadata serialization code

With the exception of a perf-only specialization for byte slices and byte vectors.

This uses the same trick of introducing a new trait and having the Encodable and Decodable derives add a bound to it as used for TyEncoder/TyDecoder. The new code is clearer about which encoder/decoder uses which impl and it reduces the dependency of rustc on specialization, making it easier to remove support for specialization entirely or turn it into a construct that is only allowed for perf optimizations if we decide to do this.

fix cyle error when suggesting to use associated function instead of constructor

Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/119625.

The first commit fixes the infinite recursion and makes the cycle error actually show up. We do this by making the `Display` for `ty::Instance` impl  respect `with_no_queries` so that it can be used in query descriptions.

The second commit fixes the cycle error `resolver_for_lowering` -> `normalize` -> `resolve_instance` (for evaluating const) -> `lang_items` (for `drop_in_place`) -> `resolver_for_lowering` (for collecting lang items). We do this by simply skipping the suggestion when encountering an unnormalized type.

Rollup merge of #119208 - Zalathar:hoist, r=WaffleLapkin,Swatinem
coverage: Hoist some complex code out of the main span refinement loop

The span refinement loop in `spans.rs` takes the spans that have been extracted from MIR, and modifies them to produce more helpful output in coverage reports.

It is also one of the most complicated pieces of code in the coverage instrumentor. It has an abundance of moving pieces that make it difficult to understand, and most attempts to modify it end up accidentally changing its behaviour in unacceptable ways.

This PR nevertheless tries to make a dent in it by hoisting two pieces of special-case logic out of the main loop, and into separate preprocessing passes. Coverage tests show that the resulting mappings are *almost* identical, with all known differences being unimportant.

This should hopefully unlock further simplifications to the refinement loop, since it now has fewer edge cases to worry about.

never patterns: Document behavior of never patterns with macros-by-example

`never_patterns` makes `!` parse as a pattern so I was worried about breaking macros-by-example matching. Turns out we're fine because the cases that now match `$p:pat` used to error in the past. The only tricky case is `!` by itself, which backwards-compatibly doesn't match `$p:pat`. I have no idea why tho, I didn't think of that when I was implementing parsing 😅.

This adds tests so we don't regress the current behavior.

c586fe40f1 macro_rules: Add more tests for using tt in addition to ident
Generally, `tt` and `ident` should behave identically, modulo the latter accepting only a subset of token trees.

[rustdoc] Fix invalid handling for static method calls in jump to definition feature

I realized when working on a clippy lint that static method calls on `Self` could not give me the method `Res`. For that, we need to use `typeck` and so that's what I did in here.

It fixes the linking to static method calls.

Rollup merge of #119577 - tmiasko:lint, r=oli-obk
Migrate memory overlap check from validator to lint

The check attempts to identify potential undefined behaviour, rather
than whether MIR is well-formed. It belongs in the lint not validator.

Follow up to changes from #119077.

Rollup merge of #119566 - Zalathar:remove-spanview, r=Swatinem,Nilstrieb
Remove `-Zdump-mir-spanview`

The `-Zdump-mir-spanview` flag was added back in #76074, as a development/debugging aid for the initial work on what would eventually become `-Cinstrument-coverage`. It causes the compiler to emit an HTML file containing a function's source code, with various spans highlighted based on the contents of MIR.

When the suggestion was made to [triage and remove unnecessary `-Z` flags (Zulip)](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/.60-Z.60.20option.20triage), I noted that this flag could potentially be worth removing, but I wanted to keep it around to see whether I found it useful for my own coverage work.

But when I actually tried to use it, I ran into various issues (e.g. it crashes on `tests/coverage/closure.rs`). If I can't trust it to work properly without a full overhaul, then instead of diving down a rabbit hole of trying to fix arcane span-handling bugs, it seems better to just remove this obscure old code entirely.
