In PR 90877 T-lang decided not to remove `intrinsics::pref_align_of`.
However, the intrinsic and its supporting code
1. is a nightly feature, so can be removed at compiler/libs discretion
2. requires considerable effort in the compiler to support, as it
necessarily complicates every single site reasoning about alignment
3. has been justified based on relevance to codegen, but it is only a
requirement for C++ (not C, not Rust) stack frame layout for AIX,
in ways Rust would not consider even with increased C++ interop
4. is only used by rustc to overalign some globals, not correctness
5. can be adequately replaced by other rules for globals, as it mostly
affects alignments for a few types under 16 bytes of alignment
6. has only one clear benefactor: automating C -> Rust translation
for GNU extensions like `__alignof`
7. such code was likely intended to be `alignof` or `_Alignof`,
because the GNU extension is a "false friend" of the C keyword,
which makes the choice to support such a mapping very questionable
8. makes it easy to do incorrect codegen in the compiler by its mere
presence as usual Rust rules of alignment (e.g. `size == align * N`)
do not hold with preferred alignment
The implementation is clearly damaging the code quality of the compiler.
Thus it is within the compiler team's purview to simply rip it out.
If T-lang wishes to have this intrinsic restored for c2rust's benefit,
it would have to use a radically different implementation that somehow
does not cause internal incorrectness.
Until then, remove the intrinsic and its supporting code, as one tool
and an ill-considered GCC extension cannot justify risking correctness.
Because we touch a fair amount of the compiler to change this at all,
and unfortunately the duplication of AbiAndPrefAlign is deep-rooted,
we keep an "AbiAlign" type which we can wean code off later.
I'm removing empty identifiers everywhere, because in practice they
always mean "no identifier" rather than "empty identifier". (An empty
identifier is impossible.) It's better to use `Option` to mean "no
identifier" because you then can't forget about the "no identifier"
possibility.
Some specifics:
- When testing an attribute for a single name, the commit uses the
`has_name` method.
- When testing an attribute for multiple names, the commit uses the new
`has_any_name` method.
- When using `match` on an attribute, the match arms now have `Some` on
them.
In the tests, we now avoid printing empty identifiers by not printing
the identifier in the `error:` line at all, instead letting the carets
point out the problem.
This shows places where the use of `name_or_empty` causes problems, i.e.
we print empty identifiers in error messages:
```
error: unrecognized field name ``
error: `` isn't a valid `#[macro_export]` argument
`#[no_sanitize()]` should be applied to a function
```
(The last one is about an attribute `#[no_sanitize("address")]`.)
The next commit will fix these.
The `Debug` impl for `Ty` just calls the `Display` impl for `Ty`. This
is surprising and annoying. In particular, it means `Debug` doesn't show
as much information as `Debug` for `TyKind` does. And `Debug` is used in
some user-facing error messages, which seems bad.
This commit changes the `Debug` impl for `Ty` to call the `Debug` impl
for `TyKind`. It also does a number of follow-up changes to preserve
existing output, many of which involve inserting
`with_no_trimmed_paths!` calls. It also adds `Display` impls for
`UserType` and `Canonical`.
Some tests have changes to expected output:
- Those that use the `rustc_abi(debug)` attribute.
- Those that use the `EMIT_MIR` annotation.
In each case the output is slightly uglier than before. This isn't
ideal, but it's pretty weird (particularly for the attribute) that the
output is using `Debug` in the first place. They're fairly obscure
attributes (I hadn't heard of them) so I'm not worried by this.
For `async-is-unwindsafe.stderr`, there is one line that now lacks a
full path. This is a consistency improvement, because all the other
mentions of `Context` in this test lack a path.
