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 48caf81484b50dca5a5cebb614899a3df81ca898, reversing
changes made to c6662879b27f5161e95f39395e3c9513a7b97028.
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.
Give `global_asm` a fake body to store typeck results, represent `sym fn` as a hir expr to fix `sym fn` operands with lifetimes
There are a few intertwined problems with `sym fn` operands in both inline and global asm macros.
Specifically, unlike other anon consts, they may evaluate to a type with free regions in them without actually having an item-level type annotation to give them a "proper" type. This is in contrast to named constants, which always have an item-level type annotation, or unnamed constants which are constrained by their position (e.g. a const arg in a turbofish, or a const array length).
Today, we infer the type of the operand by looking at the HIR typeck results; however, those results are region-erased, so during borrowck we ICE since we don't expect to encounter erased regions. We can't just fill this type with something like `'static`, since we may want to use real (free) regions:
```rust
fn foo<'a>() {
asm!("/* ... */", sym bar::<&'a ()>);
}
```
The first idea may be to represent `sym fn` operands using *inline* consts instead of anon consts. This makes sense, since inline consts can reference regions from the parent body (like the `'a` in the example above). However, this introduces a problem with `global_asm!`, which doesn't *have* a parent body; inline consts *must* be associated with a parent body since they are not a body owner of their own. In #116087, I attempted to fix this by using two separate `sym` operands for global and inline asm. However, this led to a lot of confusion and also some unattractive code duplication.
In this PR, I adjust the lowering of `global_asm!` so that it's lowered in a "fake" HIR body. This body contains a single expression which is `ExprKind::InlineAsm`; we don't *use* this HIR body, but it's used in typeck and borrowck so that we can properly infer and validate the the lifetimes of `sym fn` operands.
I then adjust the lowering of `sym fn` to instead be represented with a HIR expression. This is both because it's no longer necessary to represent this operand as an anon const, since it's *just* a path expression, and also more importantly to sidestep yet another ICE (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/137179), which has to do with the existing code breaking an invariant of def-id creation and anon consts. Specifically, we are not allowed to synthesize a def-id for an anon const when that anon const contains expressions with def-ids whose parent is *not* that anon const. This is somewhat related to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130443#issuecomment-2445678945, which is also a place in the compiler where synthesizing anon consts leads to def-id parenting issue.
As a side-effect, this consolidates the type checking for inline and global asm, so it allows us to simplify `InlineAsmCtxt` a bit. It also allows us to delete a bit of hacky code from anon const `type_of` which was there to detect `sym fn` operands specifically. This also could be generalized to support `const` asm operands with types with lifetimes in them. Since we specifically reject these consts today, I'm not going to change the representation of those consts (but they'd just be turned into inline consts).

Continuing the work started in #136466.
Every method gains a `hir_` prefix, though for the ones that already
have a `par_` or `try_par_` prefix I added the `hir_` after that.
The end goal is to eliminate `Map` altogether.
I added a `hir_` prefix to all of them, that seemed simplest. The
exceptions are `module_items` which became `hir_module_free_items` because
there was already a `hir_module_items`, and `items` which became
`hir_free_items` for consistency with `hir_module_free_items`.
Provide a new function `listify`, meant to be used in cases similar to `pluralize!`. When you have a slice of arbitrary elements that need to be presented to the user, `listify` allows you to turn that into a list of comma separated strings.
This reduces a lot of redundant logic that happens often in diagnostics.
