Leave -Z strip available temporarily as an alias, to avoid breaking
cargo until cargo transitions to using -C strip. (If the user passes
both, the -C version wins.)
Tweak the `options!` macro to allow for -Z and -C options with the same
name without generating conflicting internal parsing functions.
Split out of the commit stabilizing -Z strip as -C strip.
Added the --temps-dir option
Fixes#10971.
The new `--temps-dir` option puts intermediate files in a user-specified directory. This provides a fix for the issue where parallel invocations of rustc would overwrite each other's intermediate files.
No files are kept in the intermediate directory unless `-C save-temps=yes`.
If additional files are specifically requested using `--emit asm,llvm-bc,llvm-ir,obj,metadata,link,dep-info,mir`, these will be put in the output directory rather than the intermediate directory.
This is a backward-compatible change, i.e. if `--temps-dir` is not specified, the behavior is the same as before.
Add LLVM CFI support to the Rust compiler
This PR adds LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI) support to the Rust compiler. It initially provides forward-edge control flow protection for Rust-compiled code only by aggregating function pointers in groups identified by their number of arguments.
Forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust -compiled code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust -compiled code share the same virtual address space) will be provided in later work as part of this project by defining and using compatible type identifiers (see Type metadata in the design document in the tracking issue #89653).
LLVM CFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=cfi and requires LTO (i.e., -Clto).
Thank you, `@eddyb` and `@pcc,` for all the help!

Add -Z no-unique-section-names to reduce ELF header bloat.
This change adds a new compiler flag that can help reduce the size of ELF binaries that contain many functions.
By default, when enabling function sections (which is the default for most targets), the LLVM backend will generate different section names for each function. For example, a function `func` would generate a section called `.text.func`. Normally this is fine because the linker will merge all those sections into a single one in the binary. However, starting with [LLVM 12](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/ee5d1a04), the backend will also generate unique section names for exception handling, resulting in thousands of `.gcc_except_table.*` sections ending up in the final binary because some linkers like LLD don't currently merge or strip these EH sections (see discussion [here](https://reviews.llvm.org/D83655)). This can bloat the ELF headers and string table significantly in binaries that contain many functions.
The new option is analogous to Clang's `-fno-unique-section-names`, and instructs LLVM to generate the same `.text` and `.gcc_except_table` section for each function, resulting in a smaller final binary.
The motivation to add this new option was because we have a binary that ended up with so many ELF sections (over 65,000) that it broke some existing ELF tools, which couldn't handle so many sections.
Here's our old binary:
```
$ readelf --sections old.elf | head -1
There are 71746 section headers, starting at offset 0x2a246508:
$ readelf --sections old.elf | grep shstrtab
[71742] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 2977204c ad44bb 00 0 0 1
```
That's an 11MB+ string table. Here's the new binary using this option:
```
$ readelf --sections new.elf | head -1
There are 43 section headers, starting at offset 0x29143ca8:
$ readelf --sections new.elf | grep shstrtab
[40] .shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 29143acc 0001db 00 0 0 1
```
The whole binary size went down by over 20MB, which is quite significant.
Implement -Z location-detail flag
This PR implements the `-Z location-detail` flag as described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2091 .
`-Z location-detail=val` controls what location details are tracked when using `caller_location`. This allows users to control what location details are printed as part of panic messages, by allowing them to exclude any combination of filenames, line numbers, and column numbers. This option is intended to provide users with a way to mitigate the size impact of `#[track_caller]`.
Some measurements of the savings of this approach on an embedded binary can be found here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70579#issuecomment-942556822 .
Closes#70580 (unless people want to leave that open as a place for discussion of further improvements).
This is my first real PR to rust, so any help correcting mistakes / understanding side effects / improving my tests is appreciated :)
I have one question: RFC 2091 specified this as a debugging option (I think that is what -Z implies?). Does that mean this can never be stabilized without a separate MCP? If so, do I need to submit an MCP now, or is the initial RFC specifying this option sufficient for this to be merged as is, and then an MCP would be needed for eventual stabilization?
Add support for artifact size profiling
This adds support for profiling artifact file sizes (incremental compilation artifacts and query cache to begin with).
Eventually we want to track this in perf.rlo so we can ensure that file sizes do not change dramatically on each pull request.
This relies on support in measureme: https://github.com/rust-lang/measureme/pull/169. Once that lands we can update this PR to not point to a git dependency.
This was worked on together with `@michaelwoerister.`

This change adds a new compiler flag that can help reduce the size of
ELF binaries that contain many functions.
By default, when enabling function sections (which is the default for most

".text.func". Normally this is fine because the linker will merge all those

(llvm/llvm-project@ee5d1a0), the backend will
also generate unique section names for exception handling, resulting in
thousands of ".gcc_except_table.*" sections ending up in the final binary
because some linkers don't currently merge or strip these EH sections.
This can bloat the ELF headers and string table significantly in
binaries that contain many functions.
The new option is analogous to Clang's -fno-unique-section-names, and
instructs LLVM to generate the same ".text" and ".gcc_except_table"
section for each function, resulting in smaller object files and
potentially a smaller final binary.
This largely involves implementing the options debug-info-for-profiling
and profile-sample-use and forwarding them on to LLVM.
AutoFDO can be used on x86-64 Linux like this:
rustc -O -Cdebug-info-for-profiling main.rs -o main
perf record -b ./main
create_llvm_prof --binary=main --out=code.prof
rustc -O -Cprofile-sample-use=code.prof main.rs -o main2
Now `main2` will have feedback directed optimization applied to it.
The create_llvm_prof tool can be obtained from this github repository:

Introduce -Z remap-cwd-prefix switch
This switch remaps any absolute paths rooted under the current
working directory to a new value. This includes remapping the
debug info in `DW_AT_comp_dir` and `DW_AT_decl_file`.
Importantly, this flag does not require passing the current working
directory to the compiler, such that the command line can be
run on any machine (with the same input files) and produce the
same results. This is critical property for debugging compiler
issues that crop up on remote machines.
This is based on adetaylor's dbc4ae7cba
Major Change Proposal: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/450
Discussed on #38322. Would resolve issue #87325.
Add -Z panic-in-drop={unwind,abort} command-line option
This PR changes `Drop` to abort if an unwinding panic attempts to escape it, making the process abort instead. This has several benefits:
- The current behavior when unwinding out of `Drop` is very unintuitive and easy to miss: unwinding continues, but the remaining drops in scope are simply leaked.
- A lot of unsafe code doesn't expect drops to unwind, which can lead to unsoundness:
- https://github.com/servo/rust-smallvec/issues/14
- https://github.com/bluss/arrayvec/issues/3
- There is a code size and compilation time cost to this: LLVM needs to generate extra landing pads out of all calls in a drop implementation. This can compound when functions are inlined since unwinding will then continue on to process drops in the callee, which can itself unwind, etc.
- Initial measurements show a 3% size reduction and up to 10% compilation time reduction on some crates (`syn`).
One thing to note about `-Z panic-in-drop=abort` is that *all* crates must be built with this option for it to be sound since it makes the compiler assume that dropping `Box<dyn Any>` will never unwind.

Fixes#85019
A `SourceFile` created during compilation may have a relative
path (e.g. if rustc itself is invoked with a relative path).
When we write out crate metadata, we convert all relative paths
to absolute paths using the current working direction.
However, the working directory is not included in the crate hash.
This means that the crate metadata can change while the crate
hash remains the same. Among other problems, this can cause a
fingerprint mismatch ICE, since incremental compilation uses
the crate metadata hash to determine if a foreign query is green.
This commit moves the field holding the working directory from
`Session` to `Options`, including it as part of the crate hash.
This was removed by #85284 in favor of -Zprofiler-runtime=<name>.
However the suggested -Zprofiler-runtime=None doesn't work because
"None" is treated as a crate name.
Add flag to configure `large_assignments` lint
The `large_assignments` lints detects moves over specified limit. The
limit is configured through `move_size_limit = "N"` attribute placed at
the root of a crate. When attribute is absent, the lint is disabled.
Make it possible to enable the lint without making any changes to the
source code, through a new flag `-Zmove-size-limit=N`. For example, to
detect moves exceeding 1023 bytes in a cargo crate, including all
dependencies one could use:
```
$ env RUSTFLAGS=-Zmove-size-limit=1024 cargo build -vv
```
Lint tracking issue #83518.
Remove unstable `--pretty` flag
It doesn't do anything `--unpretty` doesn't, and due to a bug, also
didn't show up in `--help`. I don't think there's any reason to keep it
around, I haven't seen anyone using it.
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/36473.
Profile incremental compilation hashing fingerprints
Adds profiling instrumentation for the hashing of incremental compilation fingerprints per query.
This will eventually feed into the `measureme` and `rustc-perf` infrastructure for tracking if computing hashes changes over time.
TODOs:
* [x] Address the FIXME where we are including node interning in the hash timing.
* [ ] Update measureme/summarize to handle this new data: https://github.com/rust-lang/measureme/pull/166
* [ ] ~Update rustc-perf to handle the new data from measureme~ (will be done at a later time)

This creates a CSV with name "closure_profile_XXXXX.csv", where the

To profile a cargo project you can run one of the following depending on
if you're compiling a library or a binary:
```
cargo +stage1 rustc --lib -- -Zprofile-closures
cargo +stage1 rustc --bin -- -Zprofile-closures

Allow loading of llvm plugins on nightly
Based on a discussion in #82734 / with `@wsmoses.`
Mainly moves [this](0149bc4e7e) behind a -Z flag, so it can only be used on nightly,
as requested by `@nagisa` in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82734#issuecomment-835863940
This change allows loading of llvm plugins like Enzyme.
Right now it also requires a shared library LLVM build of rustc for symbol resolution.
```rust
// test.rs
extern { fn __enzyme_autodiff(_: usize, ...) -> f64; }
fn square(x : f64) -> f64 {
return x * x;
}
fn main() {
unsafe {
println!("Hello, world {} {}!", square(3.0), __enzyme_autodiff(square as usize, 3.0));
}
}
```
```
./rustc test.rs -Z llvm-plugins="./LLVMEnzyme-12.so" -C passes="enzyme"
./test
Hello, world 9 6!
```
I will try to figure out how to simplify the usage and get this into stable in a later iteration,
but having this on nightly will already help testing further steps.
Provide option for specifying the profiler runtime
Currently, if `-Zinstrument-coverage` is enabled, the target is linked
against the `library/profiler_builtins` crate (which pulls in LLVM's
compiler-rt runtime).
This option enables backends to specify an alternative runtime crate for
handling injected instrumentation calls.

Support for force-warns
Implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85512.
This PR adds a new command line option `force-warns` which will force the provided lints to warn even if they are allowed by some other mechanism such as `#![allow(warnings)]`.
Some remaining issues:
* https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85512 mentions that `force-warns` should also be capable of taking lint groups instead of individual lints. This is not implemented.
* If a lint has a higher warning level than `warn`, this will cause that lint to warn instead. We probably want to allow the lint to error if it is set to a higher lint and is not allowed somewhere else.
* One test is currently ignored because it's not working - when a deny-by-default lint is allowed, it does not currently warn under `force-warns`. I'm not sure why, but I wanted to get this in before the weekend.
