Rust's current compilation model makes it impossible on Windows to generate one
object file with a complete and final set of dllexport annotations. This is
because when an object is generated the compiler doesn't actually know if it
will later be included in a dynamic library or not. The compiler works around
this today by flagging *everything* as dllexport, but this has the drawback of
exposing too much.
Thankfully there are alternate methods of specifying the exported surface area
of a dll on Windows, one of which is passing a `*.def` file to the linker which
lists all public symbols of the dynamic library. This commit removes all
locations that add `dllexport` to LLVM variables and instead dynamically
generates a `*.def` file which is passed to the linker. This file will include
all the public symbols of the current object file as well as all upstream
libraries, and the crucial aspect is that it's only used when generating a
dynamic library. When generating an executable this file isn't generated, so all
the symbols aren't exported from an executable.
To ensure that statically included native libraries are reexported correctly,
the previously added support for the `#[linked_from]` attribute is used to
determine the set of FFI symbols that are exported from a dynamic library, and
this is required to get the compiler to link correctly.
This commit removes all morestack support from the compiler which entails:
* Segmented stacks are no longer emitted in codegen.
* We no longer build or distribute libmorestack.a
* The `stack_exhausted` lang item is no longer required
The only current use of the segmented stack support in LLVM is to detect stack
overflow. This is no longer really required, however, because we already have
guard pages for all threads and registered signal handlers watching for a
segfault on those pages (to print out a stack overflow message). Additionally,
major platforms (aka Windows) already don't use morestack.
This means that Rust is by default less likely to catch stack overflows because
if a function takes up more than one page of stack space it won't hit the guard
page. This is what the purpose of morestack was (to catch this case), but it's
better served with stack probes which have more cross platform support and no
runtime support necessary. Until LLVM supports this for all platform it looks
like morestack isn't really buying us much.
cc #16012 (still need stack probes)
Closes#26458 (a drive-by fix to help diagnostics on stack overflow)

As noted in my previous PR #27439 , the import resolution algorithm has two cases where it bails out:
- The algorithm will delay an import if the module containing the target of the import still has unresolved glob imports
- The algorithm will delay a glob import of the target module still has unresolved imports
This PR alters the behaviour to only bail out when the above described unresolved imports are `pub`, as non-pub imports don't affect the result anyway.
It is still possible to fail the algorithm with examples like
```rust
pub mod a {
pub use b::*;
}
pub mod b {
pub use a::*;
}
```
but such configurations cannot be resolved in any meaningful way, as these are cyclic imports.
Closes#4865
Turn nonzeroing move hints back off by default.
Works around bugs injected by PR #26173.
* (@pnkfelix is unavailable in the short-term (i.e. for the next week) to fix them.)
* When the bugs are fixed, we will turn nonzeroing move hints back on by default.
Fix#27401
This ended up being a bigger refactoring than I thought, as I also cleaned a few ugly points in rustc. There are still a few areas that need improvements.
Performance numbers:
```
Before:

A good 5% perf improvement. Note that after this patch >70% of the time is spent in LLVM - Amdahl's law is in full effect.

This pull request implements the functionality for [RFC 873](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0873-type-macros.md). This is currently just an update of @freebroccolo's branch from January, the corresponding commits are linked in each commit message.
@nikomatsakis and I had talked about updating the macro language to support a lifetime fragment specifier, and it is possible to do that work on this branch as well. If so we can (collectively) talk about it next week during the pre-RustCamp work week.
(This is a second try at #26242. This time I think things should be ok.)
The current algorithm handling import resolutions works sequentially, handling imports in the order they appear in the source file, and blocking/bailing on the first one generating an error/being unresolved.
This can lead to situations where the order of the `use` statements can make the difference between "this code compiles" and "this code fails on an unresolved import" (see #18083 for example). This is especially true when considering glob imports.
This PR changes the behaviour of the algorithm to instead try to resolve all imports in a module. If one fails, it is recorded and the next one is tried (instead of directly giving up). Also, all errors generated are stored (and not reported directly).
The main loop of the algorithms guaranties that the algorithm will always finish: if a round of resolution does not resolve anything new, we are stuck and give up. At this point, the new version of the algorithm will display all errors generated by the last round of resolve. This way we are sure to not silence relevant errors or help messages, but also to not give up too early.
**As a consequence, the import resolution becomes independent of the order in which the `use` statements are written in the source files.** I personally don't see any situations where this could be a problem, but this might need some thought.
I passed `rpass` and `cfail` tests on my computer, and now am compiling a full stage2 compiler to ensure the crates reporting errors in my previous attempts still build correctly. I guess once I have checked it, this will need a crater run?
Fixes#18083.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1184][rfc] which tweaks the behavior of
the `#![no_std]` attribute and adds a new `#![no_core]` attribute. The
`#![no_std]` attribute now injects `extern crate core` at the top of the crate
as well as the libcore prelude into all modules (in the same manner as the
standard library's prelude). The `#![no_core]` attribute disables both std and
core injection.

There are still problems in both the design and implementation of this, so we don't want it landing in 1.2.

I think this was just missed when `Send` and `Sync` were redone, since it seems odd to not be able to use things like `Arc<AtomicPtr>`. If it was intentional feel free to just close this.
I used another test as a template for writing mine, so I hope I got all the headers and stuff right.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1193][rfc] which adds the ability to
the compiler to cap the lint level for the entire compilation session. This flag
will ensure that no lints will go above this level, and Cargo will primarily use
this flag passing `--cap-lints allow` to all upstream dependencies.

This reverts commit a0efd3a3d9.
This commit caused a lot of unintended breakage for many Cargo builds. The problem is that Cargo compiles build scripts with `-C prefer-dynamic`, so the standard library is always dynamically linked and hence any imports need to be marked with `dllimport`. Dependencies of build scripts, however, were compiled as rlibs and did not have their imports tagged with `dllimport`, so build scripts would fail to link.
While known that this situation would break, it was unknown that it was a common scenario in the wild. As a result I'm just reverting these heuristics for now.
This PR completes [RFC 213](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0213-defaulted-type-params.md) by allowing default type parameters to influence inference. This is almost certainly a breaking change due to interactions between default type parameters and the old fallback algorithm used for integral and floating point literals.
The error messages still require polish but I wanted to get early review and feedback from others on the the changes, error messages, and test cases. I also imagine we will want to run anywhere from 1-3 versions of this on crater and evaluate the impact, and it would be best to get that ball rolling.
The only outstanding issue I'm aware of is that type alias defaults don't work. It seems this may require significant restructuring, since during inference type aliases have already been expanded. @nikomatsakis might be able to provide some clarity here.

This patch allows type parameter defaults to influence type inference. This is a possible breaking change since it effects the way type inference works and will have different behavior when mixing defaults and literal fallback.
Correct regression in type-inference caused by failing to reconfirm that
the object trait matches the required trait during trait selection. The
existing code was checking that the object trait WOULD match (in a
probe), but never executing the match outside of a probe.
This corrects various regressions observed in the wild, including
issue #26952. Fixes#26952.

The borrow checker doesn't allow constructing such a type at runtime
using safe code, but there isn't any reason to ban them in the type checker.
Included in this commit is an example of a neat static doubly-linked list.
Feature-gated under the static_recursion gate to be on the safe side, but
there are unlikely to be any reasons this shouldn't be turned on by
default.
