This commit implements the idea of a new ABI for the WebAssembly target,
one called `"wasm"`. This ABI is entirely of my own invention
and has no current precedent, but I think that the addition of this ABI
might help solve a number of issues with the WebAssembly targets.
When `wasm32-unknown-unknown` was first added to Rust I naively
"implemented an abi" for the target. I then went to write `wasm-bindgen`
which accidentally relied on details of this ABI. Turns out the ABI
definition didn't match C, which is causing issues for C/Rust interop.
Currently the compiler has a "wasm32 bindgen compat" ABI which is the
original implementation I added, and it's purely there for, well,
`wasm-bindgen`.
Another issue with the WebAssembly target is that it's not clear to me
when and if the default C ABI will change to account for WebAssembly's
multi-value feature (a feature that allows functions to return multiple
values). Even if this does happen, though, it seems like the C ABI will
be guided based on the performance of WebAssembly code and will likely
not match even what the current wasm-bindgen-compat ABI is today. This
leaves a hole in Rust's expressivity in binding WebAssembly where given
a particular import type, Rust may not be able to import that signature
with an updated C ABI for multi-value.
To fix these issues I had the idea of a new ABI for WebAssembly, one
called `wasm`. The definition of this ABI is "what you write
maps straight to wasm". The goal here is that whatever you write down in
the parameter list or in the return values goes straight into the
function's signature in the WebAssembly file. This special ABI is for
intentionally matching the ABI of an imported function from the
environment or exporting a function with the right signature.
With the addition of a new ABI, this enables rustc to:
* Eventually remove the "wasm-bindgen compat hack". Once this
ABI is stable wasm-bindgen can switch to using it everywhere.
Afterwards the wasm32-unknown-unknown target can have its default ABI
updated to match C.
* Expose the ability to precisely match an ABI signature for a
WebAssembly function, regardless of what the C ABI that clang chooses
turns out to be.
* Continue to evolve the definition of the default C ABI to match what
clang does on all targets, since the purpose of that ABI will be
explicitly matching C rather than generating particular function
imports/exports.
Naturally this is implemented as an unstable feature initially, but it
would be nice for this to get stabilized (if it works) in the near-ish
future to remove the wasm32-unknown-unknown incompatibility with the C
ABI. Doing this, however, requires the feature to be on stable because
wasm-bindgen works with stable Rust.
Remove the insta-stable `cfg(wasm)`
The addition of `cfg(wasm)` was an oversight on my end that turns out to have a number
of downsides:
* It was introduced as an insta-stable addition, forgoing the usual
staging mechanism we use for potentially far-reaching changes;
* It is a breaking change for people who are using `--cfg wasm` either
directly or via cargo for other purposes;
* It is not entirely clear if a bare `wasm` cfg is a right option or
whether `wasm` family of targets are special enough to warrant
special-casing these targets specifically.
As for the last point, there appears to be a fair amount of support for
reducing the boilerplate in specifying architectures from the same
family, while ignoring their pointer width. The suggested way forward
would be to propose such a change as a separate RFC as it is potentially
a quite contentious addition.
cc #83879 `@devsnek`
Add more info for common trait resolution and async/await errors
* Suggest `Pin::new`/`Box::new`/`Arc::new`/`Box::pin` in more cases
* Point at `impl` and type defs introducing requirements on E0277

Stabilize cmp_min_max_by
I would like to propose cmp::{min_by, min_by_key, max_by, max_by_key}
for stabilization.
These are relatively simple and seemingly uncontroversial functions and
have been unchanged in unstable for a while now.

use a `SmallVec` in `impl_or_trait_item`
#83293 showed that this is fairly hot, slightly improves max-rss and cpu cycles, does not noticeably improve instruction counts
forbid `impl Trait` in generic param defaults
Fixes#83929
Forbid using `impl Trait` in the default types of generic parameters, e.g. `struct Foo<T = impl Trait>`. I assume this was never supposed to be allowed - it seems no UI test used it.
Note that using `impl Trait` in this position did not hit a feature gate error; however, this *shouldn't* be a breaking change as any attempt to use it should have hit the ICE in #83929 and/or failed to provide a defining use of the `impl Trait`.
Use AnonConst for asm! constants
This replaces the old system which used explicit promotion. See #83169 for more background.
The syntax for `const` operands is still the same as before: `const <expr>`.
Fixes#83169
Because the implementation is heavily based on inline consts, we suffer from the same issues:
- We lose the ability to use expressions derived from generics. See the deleted tests in `src/test/ui/asm/const.rs`.
- We are hitting the same ICEs as inline consts, for example #78174. It is unlikely that we will be able to stabilize this before inline consts are stabilized.
Add `FromIterator` and `IntoIterator` impls for `ThinVec`
These should make using `ThinVec` feel much more like using `Vec`.
They will allow users of `Vec` to switch to `ThinVec` while continuing
to use `collect()`, `for` loops, and other parts of the iterator API.
I don't know if there were use cases before for using the iterator API
with `ThinVec`, but I would like to start using `ThinVec` in rustdoc,
and having it conform to the iterator API would make the transition
*a lot* easier.
I added a `FromIterator` impl, an `IntoIterator` impl that yields owned
elements, and `IntoIterator` impls that yield immutable or mutable
references to elements. I also added some unit tests for `ThinVec`.
Find codegen backends in more locations
* Search in the sysroot passed using `--sysroot` in addition to the default sysroot.
* Search for `librustc_codegen_$name.so` in addition to `librustc_codegen_$name-$release.so`.
This combined would allow putting `librustc_codegen_cranelift.so` in the right location of a sysroot passed using `--sysroot`.
Allow specifying alignment for functions
Fixes#75072
This allows the user to specify alignment for functions, which can be useful for low level work where functions need to necessarily be aligned to a specific value.
I believe the error cases not covered in the match are caught earlier based on my testing so I had them just return `None`.
