remove support for the (unstable) #[start] attribute
As explained by `@Noratrieb:`
`#[start]` should be deleted. It's nothing but an accidentally leaked implementation detail that's a not very useful mix between "portable" entrypoint logic and bad abstraction.
I think the way the stable user-facing entrypoint should work (and works today on stable) is pretty simple:
- `std`-using cross-platform programs should use `fn main()`. the compiler, together with `std`, will then ensure that code ends up at `main` (by having a platform-specific entrypoint that gets directed through `lang_start` in `std` to `main` - but that's just an implementation detail)
- `no_std` platform-specific programs should use `#![no_main]` and define their own platform-specific entrypoint symbol with `#[no_mangle]`, like `main`, `_start`, `WinMain` or `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here`. most of them only support a single platform anyways, and need cfg for the different platform's ways of passing arguments or other things *anyways*
`#[start]` is in a super weird position of being neither of those two. It tries to pretend that it's cross-platform, but its signature is a total lie. Those arguments are just stubbed out to zero on ~~Windows~~ wasm, for example. It also only handles the platform-specific entrypoints for a few platforms that are supported by `std`, like Windows or Unix-likes. `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here` can't use it, and neither could a libc-less Linux program.
So we have an attribute that only works in some cases anyways, that has a signature that's a total lie (and a signature that, as I might want to add, has changed recently, and that I definitely would not be comfortable giving *any* stability guarantees on), and where there's a pretty easy way to get things working without it in the first place.
Note that this feature has **not** been RFCed in the first place.
*This comment was posted [in May](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29633#issuecomment-2088596042) and so far nobody spoke up in that issue with a usecase that would require keeping the attribute.*

Remove a bunch of diagnostic stashing that doesn't do anything
#121669 removed a bunch of conditional diagnostic stashing/canceling, but left around the `steal` calls which just emitted the error eagerly instead of canceling the diagnostic. I think that these no-op `steal` calls don't do much and are confusing to encounter, so let's remove them.
The net effect is:
1. We emit more duplicated errors, since stashing has the side effect of duplicating diagnostics. This is not a big deal, since outside of `-Zdeduplicate-diagnostics=no`, the errors are already being deduplicated by the compiler.
2. It changes the order of diagnostics, since we're no longer stashing and then later stealing the errors. I don't think this matters much for the changes that the UI test suite manifests, and it makes these errors less order dependent.
Use `PostBorrowckAnalysis` in `check_coroutine_obligations`
This currently errors with:
```
error: concrete type differs from previous defining opaque type use
--> tests/ui/coroutine/issue-52304.rs:10:21
|
10 | pub fn example() -> impl Coroutine {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `{example::{closure#0} upvar_tys=() resume_ty=() yield_ty=&'{erased} i32 return_ty=() witness={example::{closure#0}}}`, got `{example::{closure#0} upvar_tys=() resume_ty=() yield_ty=&'static i32 return_ty=() witness={example::{closure#0}}}`
|
= note: previous use here
```
This is because we end up redefining the opaque in `check_coroutine_obligations` but with the `yield_ty = &'erased i32` from hir typeck, which causes the *equality* check for opaques to fail.
The coroutine obligtions in question (when `-Znext-solver` is enabled) are:
```
Binder { value: TraitPredicate(<Opaque(DefId(0:5 ~ issue_52304[4c6d]::example::{opaque#0}), []) as std::marker::Sized>, polarity:Positive), bound_vars: [] }
Binder { value: AliasRelate(Term::Ty(Alias(Opaque, AliasTy { args: [], def_id: DefId(0:5 ~ issue_52304[4c6d]::example::{opaque#0}), .. })), Equate, Term::Ty(Coroutine(DefId(0:6 ~ issue_52304[4c6d]::example::{closure#0}), [(), (), &'{erased} i32, (), CoroutineWitness(DefId(0:6 ~ issue_52304[4c6d]::example::{closure#0}), []), ()]))), bound_vars: [] }
Binder { value: AliasRelate(Term::Ty(Coroutine(DefId(0:6 ~ issue_52304[4c6d]::example::{closure#0}), [(), (), &'{erased} i32, (), CoroutineWitness(DefId(0:6 ~ issue_52304[4c6d]::example::{closure#0}), []), ()])), Subtype, Term::Ty(Alias(Opaque, AliasTy { args: [], def_id: DefId(0:5 ~ issue_52304[4c6d]::example::{opaque#0}), .. }))), bound_vars: [] }
```
Ignoring the fact that we end up stalling some really dumb obligations here (lol), I think it makes more sense for us to be using post borrowck analysis for this check anyways.

turn rustc_box into an intrinsic
I am not entirely sure why this was made a special magic attribute, but an intrinsic seems like a more natural way to add magic expressions to the language.
rustc_intrinsic: support functions without body
We synthesize a HIR body `loop {}` but such bodyless intrinsics.
Most of the diff is due to turning `ItemKind::Fn` into a brace (named-field) enum variant, because it carries a `bool`-typed field now. This is to remember whether the function has a body. MIR building panics to avoid ever translating the fake `loop {}` body, and the intrinsic logic uses the lack of a body to implicitly mark that intrinsic as must-be-overridden.
I first tried actually having no body rather than generating the fake body, but there's a *lot* of code that assumes that all function items have HIR and MIR, so this didn't work very well. Then I noticed that even `rustc_intrinsic_must_be_overridden` intrinsics have MIR generated (they are filled with an `Unreachable` terminator) so I guess I am not the first to discover this. ;)

stabilize const_swap
libs-api FCP passed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83163.
However, I only just realized that this actually involves an intrinsic. The intrinsic could be implemented entirely with existing stable const functionality, but we choose to make it a primitive to be able to detect more UB. So nominating for `@rust-lang/lang` to make sure they are aware; I leave it up to them whether they want to FCP this.
While at it I also renamed the intrinsic to make the "nonoverlapping" constraint more clear.
Fixes#83163
`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from
`rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some
closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use
rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use
rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good
reason.
This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`,
and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers in `compiler/` to
`rustc_span::`. This is a 200+ net line of code reduction, mostly
because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to
one.
Add some convenience helper methods on `hir::Safety`
Makes a lot of call sites simpler and should make any refactorings needed for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134090#issuecomment-2541332415 simpler, as fewer sites have to be touched in case we end up storing some information in the variants of `hir::Safety`
Various types can be used as method receivers, such as Rc<>, Box<> and
Arc<>. The arbitrary self types v2 work allows further types to be made
method receivers by implementing the Receiver trait.
With that in mind, it may come as a surprise to people when certain
common types do not implement Receiver and thus cannot be used as a
method receiver.
The RFC for arbitrary self types v2 therefore proposes emitting specific
lint hints for these cases:
* NonNull
* Weak
* Raw pointers
The code already emits a hint for this third case, in that it advises
folks that the `arbitrary_self_types_pointers` feature may meet their
need. This PR adds diagnostic hints for the Weak and NonNull cases.
The recently landed PR to adjust arbitrary self types was a bit
overenthusiastic, advising folks to use the new Receiver trait even
before it's been stabilized. Revert to the older wording of the lint in
such cases.
Arbitrary self types v2: main compiler changes
This is the main PR in a series of PRs related to Arbitrary Self Types v2, tracked in #44874. Specifically this is step 7 of the plan [described here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44874#issuecomment-2122179688), for [RFC 3519](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3519).
Overall this PR:
* Switches from the `Deref` trait to the new `Receiver` trait when the unstable `arbitrary_self_types` feature is enabled (the simple bit)
* Introduces new algorithms to spot "shadowing"; that is, the case where a newly-added method in an outer smart pointer might end up overriding a pre-existing method in the pointee (the complex bit). Most of this bit was explored in [this earlier perf-testing PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127812#issuecomment-2236911900).
* Lots of tests
This should not break compatibility for:
* Stable users, where it should have no effect
* Users of the existing `arbitrary_self_types` feature (because we implement `Receiver` for `T: Deref`) _unless_ those folks have added methods which may shadow methods in inner types, which we no longer want to allow
Subsequent PRs will add better diagnostics.
It's probably easiest to review this commit-by-commit.
r? `@wesleywiser`
In this new version of Arbitrary Self Types, we no longer use the Deref trait
exclusively when working out which self types are valid. Instead, we follow a
chain of Receiver traits. This enables methods to be called on smart pointer
types which fundamentally cannot support Deref (for instance because they are
wrappers for pointers that don't follow Rust's aliasing rules).
This includes:
* Changes to tests appropriately
* New tests for:
* The basics of the feature
* Ensuring lifetime elision works properly
* Generic Receivers
* A copy of the method subst test enhanced with Receiver
This is really the heart of the 'arbitrary self types v2' feature, and
is the most critical commit in the current PR.
Subsequent commits are focused on:
* Detecting "shadowing" problems, where a smart pointer type can hide
methods in the pointee.
* Diagnostics and cleanup.
Naming: in this commit, the "Autoderef" type is modified so that it no
longer solely focuses on the "Deref" trait, but can now consider the
"Receiver" trait instead. Should it be renamed, to something like
"TraitFollower"? This was considered, but rejected, because
* even in the Receiver case, it still considers built-in derefs
* the name Autoderef is short and snappy.
Approved in [ACP 491](https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/491).
Remove the `unsafe` on `core::intrinsics::breakpoint()`, since it's a
safe intrinsic to call and has no prerequisites.
(Thanks to @zachs18 for figuring out the `bootstrap`/`not(bootstrap)`
logic.)
Deeply normalize when computing implied outlives bounds
r? lcnr
Unfortunately resolving regions is still slightly scuffed (though in an unrelated way). Specifically, we should be normalizing our param-env outlives when constructing the `OutlivesEnv`; otherwise, these assumptions (dd2837ec5d/compiler/rustc_infer/src/infer/outlives/env.rs (L78)) are not constructed correctly.
Let me know if you want us to track that somewhere.
Move `Const::{from_anon_const,try_from_lit}` to hir_ty_lowering
Fixes#128176.
This accomplishes one of the followup items from #131081.
These operations are much more about lowering the HIR than about
`Const`s themselves. They fit better in hir_ty_lowering with
`lower_const_arg` (formerly `Const::from_const_arg`) and the rest.
To accomplish this, `const_evaluatable_predicates_of` had to be changed
to not use `from_anon_const` anymore. Instead of visiting the HIR and
lowering anon consts on the fly, it now visits the `rustc_middle::ty`
data structures instead and directly looks for `UnevaluatedConst`s. This
approach was proposed in:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/131081#discussion_r1821189257
