MIR opt: separate constant predecessors of a switch
For each block S ending with a switch, this pass copies S for each of S's predecessors that seem to assign the value being switched over as a const. This is done using a somewhat simple heuristic to determine what seems to be a const transitively.
More precisely, this is what the pass does:
- find a block that ends in a switch
- track if there is an unique place set before the current basic block that determines the result of the switch (this is the part that resolves switching over discriminants)
- if there is, iterate over the parents that have a reasonable terminator and find if the found determining place is likely to be (transitively) set from a const within that parent block
- if so, add the corresponding edge to a vector of edges to duplicate
- once this is done, iterate over the found edges: copy the target block and replace the reference to the target block in the origin block with the new block
This pass is not optimal and could probably duplicate in more cases, but the intention was mostly to address cases like in #85133 or #85365, to avoid creating new enums that get destroyed immediately afterwards (notably making the new try v2 `?` desugar zero-cost).
A benefit of this pass working the way it does is that it is easy to ensure its correctness: the worst that can happen is for it to needlessly copy a basic block, which is likely to be destroyed by cleanup passes afterwards. The complex parts where aliasing matters are only heuristics and the hard work is left to further passes like ConstProp.
# LLVM blocker
Unfortunately, I believe it would be unwise to enable this optimization by default for now. Indeed, currently switch lowering passes like SimplifyCFG in LLVM lose the information on the set of possible variant values, which means it tends to actually generate worse code with this optimization enabled. A fix would have to be done in LLVM itself. This is something I also want to look into. I have opened [a bug report at the LLVM bug tracker](https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50455).
When this is done, I hope we can enable this pass by default. It should be fairly fast and I think it is beneficial in many cases. Notably, it should be a sound alternative to simplify-arm-identity. By the way, ConstProp only seems to pick up the optimization in functions that are not generic. This is however most likely an issue in ConstProp that I will look into afterwards.
This is my first contribution to rustc, and I would like to thank everyone on the Zulip mir-opt chat for the help and support, and especially `@scottmcm` for the guidance.
Peephole optimize `x == false` and `x != true`
This adds peephole optimizations to make `x == false`, `false == x`, `x != true`, and `true != x` get optimized to `!x` in the `instcombine` MIR pass. That pass currently handles `x == true` -> `x` already.
Implement the new desugaring from `try_trait_v2`
~~Currently blocked on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84782, which has a PR in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/84811~~ Rebased atop that fix.
`try_trait_v2` tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84277
Unfortunately this is already touching a ton of things, so if you have suggestions for good ways to split it up, I'd be happy to hear them. (The combination between the use in the library, the compiler changes, the corresponding diagnostic differences, even MIR tests mean that I don't really have a great plan for it other than trying to have decently-readable commits.
r? `@ghost`
~~(This probably shouldn't go in during the last week before the fork anyway.)~~ Fork happened.
`SimplifyArm` and such are currently in `-Zunsound-mir-opts` and thus weren't running by default, so having something like them for the new desugar shouldn't be necessary for switching.
Tests: Remove redundant `ignore-tidy-linelength` annotations
This is step 2 towards fixing #77548.
In the codegen and codegen-units test suites, the `//` comment markers
were kept in order not to affect any source locations. This is because
these tests cannot be automatically `--bless`ed.

Add IEEE 754 compliant fmt/parse of -0, infinity, NaN
This pull request improves the Rust float formatting/parsing libraries to comply with IEEE 754's formatting expectations around certain special values, namely signed zero, the infinities, and NaN. It also adds IEEE 754 compliance tests that, while less stringent in certain places than many of the existing flt2dec/dec2flt capability tests, are intended to serve as the beginning of a roadmap to future compliance with the standard. Some relevant documentation is also adjusted with clarifying remarks.
This PR follows from discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1074, and closes#24623.
The most controversial change here is likely to be that -0 is now printed as -0. Allow me to explain: While there appears to be community support for an opt-in toggle of printing floats as if they exist in the naively expected domain of numbers, i.e. not the extended reals (where floats live), IEEE 754-2019 is clear that a float converted to a string should be capable of being transformed into the original floating point bit-pattern when it satisfies certain conditions (namely, when it is an actual numeric value i.e. not a NaN and the original and destination float width are the same). -0 is given special attention here as a value that should have its sign preserved. In addition, the vast majority of other programming languages not only output `-0` but output `-0.0` here.
While IEEE 754 offers a broad leeway in how to handle producing what it calls a "decimal character sequence", it is clear that the operations a language provides should be capable of round tripping, and it is confusing to advertise the f32 and f64 types as binary32 and binary64 yet have the most basic way of producing a string and then reading it back into a floating point number be non-conformant with the standard. Further, existing documentation suggested that e.g. -0 would be printed with -0 regardless of the presence of the `+` fmt character, but it prints "+0" instead if given such (which was what led to the opening of #24623).
There are other parsing and formatting issues for floating point numbers which prevent Rust from complying with the standard, as well as other well-documented challenges on the arithmetic level, but I hope that this can be the beginning of motion towards solving those challenges.
This commit removes the previous mechanism of differentiating
between "Debug" and "Display" formattings for the sign of -0 so as
to comply with the IEEE 754 standard's requirements on external
character sequences preserving various attributes of a floating
point representation.
In addition, numerous tests are fixed.
Deprecate `intrinsics::drop_in_place` and `collections::Bound`, which accidentally weren't deprecated
Fixes#82080.
I've taken the liberty of updating the `since` values to 1.52, since an unobservable deprecation isn't much of a deprecation (even the detailed release notes never bothered to mention these deprecations).
As mentioned in the issue I'm *pretty* sure that using a type alias for `Bound` is semantically equivalent to the re-export; [the reference implies](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/type-aliases.html) that type aliases only observably differ from types when used on unit structs or tuple structs, whereas `Bound` is an enum.
