In its first step of computing transmutability, `rustc_transmutability`
constructs a byte-level representation of type layout (`Tree`). Previously, this
representation was computed for ADTs by inspecting the ADT definition and
performing our own layout computations. This process was error-prone, verbose,
and limited our ability to analyze many types (particularly default-repr types).
In this PR, we instead construct `Tree`s from `rustc_target::abi::Layout`s. This
helps ensure that layout optimizations are reflected our analyses, and increases
the kinds of types we can now analyze, including:
- default repr ADTs
- transparent unions
- `UnsafeCell`-containing types
Overall, this PR expands the expressvity of `rustc_transmutability` to be much
closer to the transmutability analysis performed by miri. Future PRs will work
to close the remaining gaps (e.g., support for `Box`, raw pointers, `NonZero*`,
coroutines, etc.).
We can (and will) support analyzing the transmutability of types
whose layouts aren't completely specified by its repr. This change
ensures that the error messages remain sensible after this support
lands.
The source referent absolutely must be smaller than the destination
referent of a ref-to-ref transmute; the excess bytes referenced
cannot arise from thin air, even if those bytes are uninitialized.
Change the implicit `Sized` `Obligation` `Span` for call expressions to
include the whole expression. This aids the existing deduplication
machinery to reduce the number of errors caused by a single unsized
expression.
Safe Transmute: Fix ICE (due to UnevaluatedConst)
This patch updates the code that looks at the `Assume` type when evaluating if transmutation is possible. An ICE was being triggered in the case that the `Assume` parameter contained an unevaluated const (in this test case, due to a function with missing parameter names).
Fixes#110892

Fixes#110892
This patch adds the `#[rustc_coinductive]` annotation to
`BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`, so that it's possible to compute transmutability for
recursive types.
- Create `Answer` type that is not just a type alias of `Result`
- Remove a usage of `map_layouts` to make the code easier to read
- Don't hide errors related to Unknown Layout when computing transmutability
This patch just removes the `#[rustc_coinductive]` annotation from `BikeshedIntrinsicFrom` and flips the related tests to `check-fail`. Once an FCP for setting the annotation on the trait is approved, it could be enabled again.
- Change `Condition` to not contain `Answer`s but instead just contain other
`Condition`s directly.
- Also improve error reporting for `DstHasStricterAlignment`
- Only create dst -> src obligation if Dst is mutable
- Add some long comments to explain parts of the transmutability code that were
unclear to me when reading
- Update/add tests
- Make sure that the most specific Reason is the one that bubbles up when we
are folding over the `Answer` tree. `Reason::DstIsBitIncompatible` is the
least specific, so that should be used only when there isn't anything else
available.
- Small fixes where we used the wrong Reason variant.
- Tiny cleanups
This patch enables support for references in Safe Transmute, by generating
nested obligations during trait selection. Specifically, when we call
`confirm_transmutability_candidate(...)`, we now recursively traverse the
`rustc_transmute::Answer` tree and create obligations for all the `Answer`
variants, some of which include multiple nested `Answer`s.
Also, to handle recursive types, enable support for coinduction for the Safe
Transmute trait (`BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`) by adding the `#[rustc_coinduction]`
annotation.
Also fix some small logic issues when reducing the `or` and `and` combinations
in `rustc_transmute`, so that we don't end up with additional redundant
`Answer`s in the tree.

This patch updates the error reporting when Safe Transmute is not
possible between 2 types by including the reason.
Also, fix some small bugs that occur when computing the `Answer` for
transmutability.
Consider `tests/ui/const-generics/generic_const_exprs/issue-102768.stderr`,
the error message where it gives additional notes about where the associated
type is defined, and how the dead code lint doesn't have an article,
like in `tests/ui/lint/dead-code/issue-85255.stderr`. They don't have
articles, so it seems unnecessary to have one here.
