Stabilise inline_const
# Stabilisation Report
## Summary
This PR will stabilise `inline_const` feature in expression position. `inline_const_pat` is still unstable and will *not* be stabilised.
The feature will allow code like this:
```rust
foo(const { 1 + 1 })
```
which is roughly desugared into
```rust
struct Foo;
impl Foo {
const FOO: i32 = 1 + 1;
}
foo(Foo::FOO)
```
This feature is from https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2920 and is tracked in #76001 (the tracking issue should *not* be closed as it needs to track inline const in pattern position). The initial implementation is done in #77124.
## Difference from RFC
There are two major differences (enhancements) as implemented from the RFC. First thing is that the RFC says that the type of an inline const block inferred from the content *within* it, but we currently can infer the type using the information from outside the const block as well. This is a frequently requested feature to the initial implementation (e.g. #89964). The inference is implemented in #89561 and is done by treating inline const similar to a closure and therefore share inference context with its parent body.
This allows code like:
```rust
let v: Vec<i32> = const { Vec::new() };
```
Another enhancement that differs from the RFC is that we currently allow inline consts to reference generic parameters. This is implemented in #96557.
This allows code like:
```rust
fn create_none_array<T, const N: usize>() -> [Option<T>; N] {
[const { None::<T> }; N]
}
```
This enhancement also makes inline const usable as static asserts:
```rust
fn require_zst<T>() {
const { assert!(std::mem::size_of::<T>() == 0) }
}
```

## Unresolved issues
We still have a few issues that are not resolved, but I don't think it necessarily has to block stabilisation:
* expr fragment specifier issue: #86730
* ~~`const {}` behaves similar to `async {}` but not to `{}` and `unsafe {}` (they are treated as `ExpressionWithoutBlock` rather than `ExpressionWithBlock`): https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/213817-t-lang/topic/const.20blocks.20differ.20from.20normal.20and.20from.20unsafe.20blocks/near/290229453~~
## Tests
There are a few tests in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/ui/inline-const
More DefineOpaqueTypes::Yes
This accepts more code on stable. It is now possible to have match arms return a function item `foo::<ConcreteType>` and a function item `foo::<OpaqueTypeInDefiningScope>` in another, and that will constrain `OpaqueTypeInDefiningScope` to have the hidden type `ConcreteType`. So the following function will now compile, but on master it errors with a type mismatch on the second match arm
```rust
// The function item whose generic params we want to merge.
fn foo<T>(t: T) -> T { t }
// Helper ensuring we can constrain `T` on `F` without explicitly specifying it
fn bind<T, F: FnOnce(T) -> T>(_: T, f: F) -> F { f }
fn k() -> impl Sized {
let x = match true {
true => {
// `f` is `FnDef(foo, [infer_var])`
let f = foo;
// Get a value of an opaque type on stable
let t = k();
// this returns `FnDef(foo, [k::return])`
bind(t, f)
}
false => foo::<()>,
};
todo!()
}
```

Test `#[unix_sigpipe = "inherit"]` with both `SIG_DFL` and `SIG_IGN`
Extend our `#[unix_sigpipe = "inherit"]` test so that it detects if `SIGPIPE` wrongly ends up being `SIG_DFL` when the parent has `SIG_IGN`. We have no current test for this particular case.

delegation: Support renaming, and async, const, extern "ABI" and C-variadic functions
Also allow delegating to functions with opaque types (`impl Trait`).
The delegation item will refer to the original opaque type from the callee, fresh opaque type won't be created, which seems like a reasonable behavior.
(Such delegation items will cause query cycles when used in trait impls, but it can be fixed later.)

Stop using LLVM struct types for alloca
The alloca type has no semantic meaning, only the size (and alignment, but we specify it explicitly) matter. Using `[N x i8]` is a more direct way to specify that we want `N` bytes, and avoids relying on LLVM's struct layout. It is likely that a future LLVM version will change to an untyped alloca representation.
Split out from #121577.

Also allow `impl Trait` in delegated functions.

Don't fatal when calling `expect_one_of` when recovering arg in `parse_seq`
In `parse_seq`, when parsing a sequence of token-separated items, if we don't see a separator, we try to parse another item eagerly in order to give a good diagnostic and recover from a missing separator:
d1a0fa5ed3/compiler/rustc_parse/src/parser/mod.rs (L900-L901)
If parsing the item itself calls `expect_one_of`, then we will fatal because of #58903:
d1a0fa5ed3/compiler/rustc_parse/src/parser/mod.rs (L513-L516)
For `precise_capturing` feature I implemented, we do end up calling `expected_one_of`:
d1a0fa5ed3/compiler/rustc_parse/src/parser/ty.rs (L712-L714)
This leads the compiler to fatal *before* having emitted the first error, leading to absolutely no useful information for the user about what happened in the parser.
This PR makes it so that we stop doing that.

Dellvmize some intrinsics (use `u32` instead of `Self` in some integer intrinsics)
This implements https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/693 minus what was implemented in #123226.
Note: I decided to _not_ change `shl`/... builder methods, as it just doesn't seem worth it.

Do `check_coroutine_obligations` once per typeck root
We only need to do `check_coroutine_obligations` once per typeck root, especially since the new solver can't really (easily) associate which obligations correspond to which coroutines.
This requires us to move the checks for sized coroutine fields into `mir_coroutine_witnesses`, but that's fine imo.

deref patterns: lower deref patterns to MIR
This lowers deref patterns to MIR. This is a bit tricky because this is the first kind of pattern that requires storing a value in a temporary. Thanks to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123324 false edges are no longer a problem.
The thing I'm not confident about is the handling of fake borrows. This PR ignores any fake borrows inside a deref pattern. We are guaranteed to at least fake borrow the place of the first pointer value, which could be enough, but I'm not certain.
Suggest using type args directly instead of equality constraint
When type arguments are written erroneously using an equality constraint we suggest specifying them directly without the equality constraint.
Fixes#122162
Changes the diagnostic in the issue from:
```rust
error[E0229]: associated type bindings are not allowed here
9 | impl std::cmp::PartialEq<Rhs = T> for S {
| ^^^^^^^ associated type not allowed here
|
```
to
```rust
error[E0229]: associated type bindings are not allowed here
9 | impl std::cmp::PartialEq<Rhs = T> for S {
| ^^^^^^^ associated type not allowed here
|
help: to use `T` as a generic argument specify it directly

Use fulfillment in method probe, not evaluation
This PR reworks method probing to use fulfillment instead of a `for`-loop of `evaluate_predicate` calls, and moves normalization from method candidate assembly into the `consider_probe`, where it's applied to *all* candidates. This last part coincidentally fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/121643#issuecomment-1975371248.
Regarding *why* this large rewrite is done: In general, it's an anti-pattern to do `for o in obligations { evaluate(o); }` because it's not compatible with the way that the new solver emits alias-relate obligations which constrain variables that may show up in other predicates.

Disallow ambiguous attributes on expressions
This implements the suggestion in [#15701](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15701#issuecomment-2033124217) to disallow ambiguous outer attributes on expressions. This should resolve one of the concerns blocking the stabilization of `stmt_expr_attributes`.
weak lang items are not allowed to be #[track_caller]
For instance the panic handler will be called via this import
```rust
extern "Rust" {
#[lang = "panic_impl"]
fn panic_impl(pi: &PanicInfo<'_>) -> !;
}
```
A `#[track_caller]` would add an extra argument and thus make this the wrong signature.
The 2nd commit is a consistency rename; based on the docs [here](https://doc.rust-lang.org/unstable-book/language-features/lang-items.html) and [here](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/lang-items.html) I figured "lang item" is more widely used. (In the compiler output, "lang item" and "language item" seem to be pretty even.)
panic_str only exists for the migration to 2021 panic macros
The only caller is `expect_failed`, which is already a cold inline(never) function, so inlining into that function should be fine. (And indeed `panic_str` was `#[inline]` anyway.)
The existence of panic_str risks someone calling it when they should call `panic` instead, and I can't see a reason why this footgun should exist.
I also extended the comment in `panic` to explain why it needs a `'static` string -- I know I've wondered about this in the past and it took me quite a while to understand.
Improve handling of expr->field errors
The current message for "`->` used for field access" is the following:
```rust
error: expected one of `!`, `.`, `::`, `;`, `?`, `{`, `}`, or an operator, found `->`
--> src/main.rs:2:6
|
2 | a->b;
| ^^ expected one of 8 possible tokens
```
([playground link](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=7f8b6f4433aa7866124123575456f54e))
This PR tries to address this by adding a dedicated error message and recovery. The proposed error message is:
```
error: `->` used for field access or method call
--> ./tiny_test.rs:2:6
|
2 | a->b;
| ^^ help: try using `.` instead
|
= help: the `.` operator will dereference the value if needed
```
(feel free to bikeshed it as much as necessary)
Move duplicated code in functions in `tests/rustdoc-gui/notable-trait.goml`
It also allowed me to add some new common test like:
```

{"x": |popover_x|}

Deny gen keyword in `edition_2024_compat` lints
Splits the `keyword_idents` lint into two -- `keyword_idents_2018` and `keyword_idents_2024` -- since each corresponds to a future-compat warning in a different edition. Group these together into a new `keyword_idents` lint group, and add the latter to the `rust_2024_compatibility` so that `gen` is ready for the 2024 edition.

Add simple async drop glue generation
This is a prototype of the async drop glue generation for some simple types. Async drop glue is intended to behave very similar to the regular drop glue except for being asynchronous. Currently it does not execute synchronous drops but only calls user implementations of `AsyncDrop::async_drop` associative function and awaits the returned future. It is not complete as it only recurses into arrays, slices, tuples, and structs and does not have same sensible restrictions as the old `Drop` trait implementation like having the same bounds as the type definition, while code assumes their existence (requires a future work).
This current design uses a workaround as it does not create any custom async destructor state machine types for ADTs, but instead uses types defined in the std library called future combinators (deferred_async_drop, chain, ready_unit).
Also I recommend reading my [explainer](https://zetanumbers.github.io/book/async-drop-design.html).
This is a part of the [MCP: Low level components for async drop](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/727) work.
Feature completeness:
- [x] `AsyncDrop` trait
- [ ] `async_drop_in_place_raw`/async drop glue generation support for
- [x] Trivially destructible types (integers, bools, floats, string slices, pointers, references, etc.)
- [x] Arrays and slices (array pointer is unsized into slice pointer)
- [x] ADTs (enums, structs, unions)
- [x] tuple-like types (tuples, closures)
- [ ] Dynamic types (`dyn Trait`, see explainer's [proposed design](https://github.com/zetanumbers/posts/blob/main/async-drop-design.md#async-drop-glue-for-dyn-trait))
- [ ] coroutines (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123948)
- [x] Async drop glue includes sync drop glue code
- [x] Cleanup branch generation for `async_drop_in_place_raw`
- [ ] Union rejects non-trivially async destructible fields
- [ ] `AsyncDrop` implementation requires same bounds as type definition
- [ ] Skip trivially destructible fields (optimization)
- [ ] New [`TyKind::AdtAsyncDestructor`](https://github.com/zetanumbers/posts/blob/main/async-drop-design.md#adt-async-destructor-types) and get rid of combinators
- [ ] [Synchronously undroppable types](https://github.com/zetanumbers/posts/blob/main/async-drop-design.md#exclusively-async-drop)
- [ ] Automatic async drop at the end of the scope in async context
coverage: Prepare for improved branch coverage
When trying to rebase my new branch coverage work (including #124154) on top of the introduction of MC/DC coverage (#123409), I found it a lot harder than anticipated. With the benefit of hindsight, the branch coverage code and MC/DC code have become more interdependent than I'm happy with.
This PR therefore disentangles them a bit, so that it will be easier for both areas of code to evolve independently without interference.
---
This PR also includes a few extra branch coverage tests that I had sitting around from my current branch coverage work. They mostly just demonstrate that certain language constructs listed in #124118 currently don't have branch coverage support.

Ignore `-C strip` on MSVC
tl;dr - Define `-Cstrip` to only ever affect the binary; no other build artifacts.
This is necessary to improve cross-platform behavior consistency: if someone wanted debug information to be contained only in separate files on all platforms, they would set `-Cstrip=symbols` and `-Csplit-debuginfo=packed`, but this would result in no PDB files on MSVC.
