There are already similar preexisting test helpers which
also work on windows. Port over the executable-creation
helper into the file() helper and things appear to pass.
I don't trust that all these transformations won't have unintended
consequences on other platforms. It is nice to verify there aren't any
backslash shenanigans on other platforms.
This is intended to help with adding more usage of anyhow in the
testsuite, which can help show context for errors.
This also includes some small improvements to the error messages to
provide more information.
This commit continues the work from #9112 to enable `unpacked` split
debuginfo on macOS targets by default. This has been discussed on [internals]
for awhile now and no breakage has emerged while significant speedups
have. This is expected to be a compile-time and `target`-directory size
win for almost all macOS Rust projects.
While breakage is possible it's possible to mitigate this with
project-local or global cargo configuration of the `dev` and `test` profiles.

cargo-test-support wasn't using any of the caching or other logic from
Rustc, so this just swaps with a very basic implementation in order to
remove the dependency on `cargo`.
testsuite: Use split debuginfo on macos.
This switches the testsuite to use "unpacked" debuginfo on macos, which is a substantial performance boost. On my system, the testsuite runs 1.55 times faster with this change. Along with #9206, total testsuite time is 3.1 times faster.
Updates to edition handling.
This introduces some updates for edition handling (split into commits for review). In short:
* `cargo-features = ["edition2021"]` can be used to opt-in to 2021 support without needing to pass around `-Z unstable-options`. I tried to emphasize in the docs that this is only for testing and experimentation.
* Make `"2"` the default resolver for 2021 edition.
* Make `cargo fix --edition` mean the "next" edition from the present one, and support 2021. Also, if already at the latest edition, generate a warning instead an error.
* I decided to allow `cargo fix --edition` from 2018 to 2021 on the nightly channel without an explicit opt-in. It's tricky to implement with an opt-in (see comment in diff).
Partial for #9048.
Fixes#9047.
What was previously "Fixing" was a message for after the fixes had
been applied. I think it would be clearer if it said "Fixed",
to indicate that the fixes had actually finished.
The new "Fixing" is posted just before it starts. This is verbose-only
since it is a little noisy.
Add split-debuginfo profile option
This commit adds a new `split-debuginfo` option to Cargo compilation
profiles which gets forwarded to the `-Csplit-debuginfo` codegen option
in rustc. This commit also sets the default, only on macOS, to be
`-Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked`. The purpose of this change is to leverage
rust-lang/rust#79570 to avoid running `dsymutil` on incremental builds
while also preserving a pleasant debugging experience by default. This
should lead to much faster incremental build times on macOS since
`dsymutil` isn't exactly the speediest tool in the world.
This is technically a breaking change in Cargo because we're no longer
by-default producing the `*.dSYM` folders on macOS. If those are still
desired, however, authors can always run `dsymutil` themselves or
otherwise configure `split-debuginfo = 'packed'` in their
manifest/profile configuration.
This commit updates the rustc info cache to cache failures to execute
rustc as well as successes. This fixes a weird issue where if you're
probing for flags the `rustc_info_cache` test fails on channels which
don't have the flag since previously a failure to execute rustc resulted
in never caching the result.
