This was done in #145740 and #145947. It is causing problems for people
using r-a on anything that uses the rustc-dev rustup package, e.g. Miri,
clippy.
This repository has lots of submodules and subtrees and various
different projects are carved out of pieces of it. It seems like
`[workspace.dependencies]` will just be more trouble than it's worth.
Specifically `TyAlias`, `Enum`, `Struct`, `Union`. So the fields match
the textual order in the source code.
The interesting part of the change is in
`compiler/rustc_hir/src/hir.rs`. The rest is extremely mechanical
refactoring.
make `rustc_attr_parsing` less dominant in the rustc crate graph
It has/had a glob re-export of `rustc_attr_data_structures`, which is a crate much lower in the graph, and a lot of crates were using it *just* (or *mostly*) for that re-export, while they can rely on `rustc_attr_data_structures` directly.
Previous graph:
Graph with this PR:
The first commit keeps the re-export, and just changes the dependency if possible. The second commit is the "breaking change" which removes the re-export, and "explicitly" adds the `rustc_attr_data_structures` dependency where needed. It also switches over some src/tools/*.
The second commit is actually a lot more involved than I expected. Please let me know if it's a better idea to back it out and just keep the first commit.
Remove `weak` alias terminology
I find the "weak" alias terminology to be quite confusing. It implies the existence of "strong" aliases (which do not exist) and I'm not really sure what about weak aliases is "weak". I much prefer "free alias" as the term. I think it's much more obvious what it means as "free function" is a well defined term that already exists in rust.
It's also a little confusing given "weak alias" is already a term in linker/codegen spaces which are part of the compiler too. Though I'm not particularly worried about that as it's usually very obvious if you're talking about the type system or not lol. I'm also currently trying to write documentation about aliases and it's somewhat awkward/confusing to be talking about *weak* aliases, when I'm not really sure what the basis for that as the term actually *is*.
I would also be happy to just find out there's a nice meaning behind calling them "weak" aliases :-)
r? `@oli-obk`
maybe we want a types MCP to decide on a specific naming here? or maybe we think its just too late to go back on this naming decision ^^'

`hir::Item` has an `ident` field.
- It's always non-empty for these item kinds: `ExternCrate`, `Static`,
`Const`, `Fn`, `Macro`, `Mod`, `TyAlias`, `Enum`, `Struct`, `Union`,
Trait`, TraitAalis`.
- It's always empty for these item kinds: `ForeignMod`, `GlobalAsm`,
`Impl`.
- For `Use`, it is non-empty for `UseKind::Single` and empty for
`UseKind::{Glob,ListStem}`.
All of this is quite non-obvious; the only documentation is a single
comment saying "The name might be a dummy name in case of anonymous
items". Some sites that handle items check for an empty ident, some
don't. This is a very C-like way of doing things, but this is Rust, we
have sum types, we can do this properly and never forget to check for
the exceptional case and never YOLO possibly empty identifiers (or
possibly dummy spans) around and hope that things will work out.
The commit is large but it's mostly obvious plumbing work. Some notable
things.
- A similar transformation makes sense for `ast::Item`, but this is
already a big change. That can be done later.
- Lots of assertions are added to item lowering to ensure that
identifiers are empty/non-empty as expected. These will be removable
when `ast::Item` is done later.
- `ItemKind::Use` doesn't get an `Ident`, but `UseKind::Single` does.
- `lower_use_tree` is significantly simpler. No more confusing `&mut
Ident` to deal with.
- `ItemKind::ident` is a new method, it returns an `Option<Ident>`. It's
used with `unwrap` in a few places; sometimes it's hard to tell
exactly which item kinds might occur. None of these unwraps fail on
the test suite. It's conceivable that some might fail on alternative
input. We can deal with those if/when they happen.
- In `trait_path` the `find_map`/`if let` is replaced with a loop, and
things end up much clearer that way.
- `named_span` no longer checks for an empty name; instead the call site
now checks for a missing identifier if necessary.
- `maybe_inline_local` doesn't need the `glob` argument, it can be
computed in-function from the `renamed` argument.
- `arbitrary_source_item_ordering::check_mod` had a big `if` statement
that was just getting the ident from the item kinds that had one. It
could be mostly replaced by a single call to the new `ItemKind::ident`
method.
- `ItemKind` grows from 56 to 64 bytes, but `Item` stays the same size,
and that's what matters, because `ItemKind` only occurs within `Item`.
Continuing the work from #137350.
Removes the unused methods: `expect_variant`, `expect_field`,
`expect_foreign_item`.
Every method gains a `hir_` prefix.
Revert <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138084> to buy time to
consider options that avoids breaking downstream usages of cargo on
distributed `rustc-src` artifacts, where such cargo invocations fail due
to inability to inherit `lints` from workspace root manifest's
`workspace.lints` (this is only valid for the source rust-lang/rust
workspace, but not really the distributed `rustc-src` artifacts).
This breakage was reported in
<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/138304>.
This reverts commit 48caf81484, reversing
changes made to c6662879b2.
By naming them in `[workspace.lints.rust]` in the top-level
`Cargo.toml`, and then making all `compiler/` crates inherit them with
`[lints] workspace = true`. (I omitted `rustc_codegen_{cranelift,gcc}`,
because they're a bit different.)
The advantages of this over the current approach:
- It uses a standard Cargo feature, rather than special handling in
bootstrap. So, easier to understand, and less likely to get
accidentally broken in the future.
- It works for proc macro crates.
It's a shame it doesn't work for rustc-specific lints, as the comments
explain.
