Implement `super let`
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/139076
This implements `super let` as proposed in #139080, based on the following two equivalence rules.
1. For all expressions `$expr` in any context, these are equivalent:
- `& $expr`
- `{ super let a = & $expr; a }`
2. And, additionally, these are equivalent in any context when `$expr` is a temporary (aka rvalue):
- `& $expr`
- `{ super let a = $expr; & a }`
So far, this experiment has a few interesting results:
## Interesting result 1
In this snippet:
```rust
super let a = f(&temp());
```
I originally expected temporary `temp()` would be dropped at the end of the statement (`;`), just like in a regular `let`, because `temp()` is not subject to temporary lifetime extension.
However, it turns out that that would break the fundamental equivalence rules.
For example, in
```rust
g(&f(&temp()));
```
the temporary `temp()` will be dropped at the `;`.
The first equivalence rule tells us this must be equivalent:
```rust
g({ super let a = &f(&temp()); a });
```
But that means that `temp()` must live until the last `;` (after `g()`), not just the first `;` (after `f()`).
While this was somewhat surprising to me at first, it does match the exact behavior we need for `pin!()`: The following _should work_. (See also https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/138718)
```rust
g(pin!(f(&mut temp())));
```
Here, `temp()` lives until the end of the statement. This makes sense from the perspective of the user, as no other `;` or `{}` are visible. Whether `pin!()` uses a `{}` block internally or not should be irrelevant.
This means that _nothing_ in a `super let` statement will be dropped at the end of that super let statement. It does not even need its own scope.
This raises questions that are useful for later on:
- Will this make temporaries live _too long_ in cases where `super let` is used not in a hidden block in a macro, but as a visible statement in code like the following?
```rust
let writer = {
super let file = File::create(&format!("/home/{user}/test"));
Writer::new(&file)
};
```
- Is a `let` statement in a block still the right syntax for this? Considering it has _no_ scope of its own, maybe neither a block nor a statement should be involved
This leads me to think that instead of `{ super let $pat = $init; $expr }`, we might want to consider something like `let $pat = $init in $expr` or `$expr where $pat = $init`. Although there are also issues with these, as it isn't obvious anymore if `$init` should be subject to temporary lifetime extension. (Do we want both `let _ = _ in ..` and `super let _ = _ in ..`?)
## Interesting result 2
What about `super let x;` without initializer?
```rust
let a = {
super let x;
x = temp();
&x
};
```
This works fine with the implementation in this PR: `x` is extended to live as long as `a`.
While it matches my expectations, a somewhat interesting thing to realize is that these are _not_ equivalent:
- `super let x = $expr;`
- `super let x; x = $expr;`
In the first case, all temporaries in $expr will live at least as long as (the result of) the surrounding block.
In the second case, temporaries will be dropped at the end of the assignment statement. (Because the assignment statement itself "is not `super`".)
This difference in behavior might be confusing, but it _might_ be useful.
One might want to extend the lifetime of a variable without extending all the temporaries in the initializer expression.
On the other hand, that can also be expressed as:
- `let x = $expr; super let x = x;` (w/o temporary lifetime extension), or
- `super let x = { $expr };` (w/ temporary lifetime extension)
So, this raises these questions:
- Do we want to accept `super let x;` without initializer at all?
- Does it make sense for statements other than let statements to be "super"? An expression statement also drops temporaries at its `;`, so now that we discovered that `super let` basically disables that `;` (see interesting result 1), is there a use to having other statements without their own scope? (I don't think that's ever useful?)
## Interesting result 3
This works now:
```rust
super let Some(x) = a.get(i) else { return };
```
I didn't put in any special cases for `super let else`. This is just the behavior that 'naturally' falls out when implementing `super let` without thinking of the `let else` case.
- Should `super let else` work?
## Interesting result 4
This 'works':
```rust
fn main() {
super let a = 123;
}
```
I didn't put in any special cases for `super let` at function scope. I had expected the code to cause an ICE or other weird failure when used at function body scope, because there's no way to let the variable live as long as the result of the function.
This raises the question:
- Does this mean that this behavior is the natural/expected behavior when `super let` is used at function scope? Or is this just a quirk and should we explicitly disallow `super let` in a function body? (Probably the latter.)

The questions above do not need an answer to land this PR. These questions should be considered when redesigning/rfc'ing/stabilizing the feature.
Add new `PatKind::Missing` variants
To avoid some ugly uses of `kw::Empty` when handling "missing" patterns, e.g. in bare fn tys. Helps with #137978. Details in the individual commits.
r? ``@oli-obk``
`ast::Item` has an `ident` field.
- It's always non-empty for these item kinds: `ExternCrate`, `Static`,
`Const`, `Fn`, `Mod`, `TyAlias`, `Enum`, `Struct`, `Union`,
`Trait`, `TraitAlias`, `MacroDef`, `Delegation`.
- It's always empty for these item kinds: `Use`, `ForeignMod`,
`GlobalAsm`, `Impl`, `MacCall`, `DelegationMac`.
There is a similar story for `AssocItemKind` and `ForeignItemKind`.
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.
- `ast::Item` got 8 bytes bigger. This could be avoided by boxing the
fields within some of the `ast::ItemKind` variants (specifically:
`Struct`, `Union`, `Enum`). I might do that in a follow-up; this
commit is big enough already.
- For the visitors: `FnKind` no longer needs an `ident` field because
the `Fn` within how has one.
- In the parser, the `ItemInfo` typedef is no longer needed. It was used
in various places to return an `Ident` alongside an `ItemKind`, but
now the `Ident` (if present) is within the `ItemKind`.
- In a few places I renamed identifier variables called `name` (or
`foo_name`) as `ident` (or `foo_ident`), to better match the type, and
because `name` is normally used for `Symbol`s. It's confusing to see
something like `foo_name.name`.
"Missing" patterns are possible in bare fn types (`fn f(u32)`) and
similar places. Currently these are represented in the AST with
`ast::PatKind::Ident` with no `by_ref`, no `mut`, an empty ident, and no
sub-pattern. This flows through to `{hir,thir}::PatKind::Binding` for
HIR and THIR.
This is a bit nasty. It's very non-obvious, and easy to forget to check
for the exceptional empty identifier case.
This commit adds a new variant, `PatKind::Missing`, to do it properly.
The process I followed:
- Add a `Missing` variant to `{ast,hir,thir}::PatKind`.
- Chang `parse_param_general` to produce `ast::PatKind::Missing`
instead of `ast::PatKind::Missing`.
- Look through `kw::Empty` occurrences to find functions where an
existing empty ident check needs replacing with a `PatKind::Missing`
check: `print_param`, `check_trait_item`, `is_named_param`.
- Add a `PatKind::Missing => unreachable!(),` arm to every exhaustive
match identified by the compiler.
- Find which arms are actually reachable by running the test suite,
changing them to something appropriate, usually by looking at what
would happen to a `PatKind::Ident`/`PatKind::Binding` with no ref, no
`mut`, an empty ident, and no subpattern.
Quite a few of the `unreachable!()` arms were never reached. This makes
sense because `PatKind::Missing` can't happen in every pattern, only
in places like bare fn tys and trait fn decls.
I also tried an alternative approach: modifying `ast::Param::pat` to
hold an `Option<P<Pat>>` instead of a `P<Pat>`, but that quickly turned
into a very large and painful change. Adding `PatKind::Missing` is much
easier.
Mostly parser: Eliminate code that's been dead / semi-dead since the removal of type ascription syntax
**Disclaimer**: This PR is intended to mostly clean up code as opposed to bringing about behavioral changes. Therefore it doesn't aim to address any of the 'FIXME: remove after a month [dated: 2023-05-02]: "type ascription syntax has been removed, see issue [#]101728"'.
---
By commit:
1. Removes truly dead code:
* Since 1.71 (#109128) `let _ = { f: x };` is a syntax error as opposed to a semantic error which allows the parse-time diagnostic (suggestion) "*struct literal body without path // you might have forgotten […]*" to kick in.
* The analysis-time diagnostic (suggestion) from <=1.70 "*cannot find value \`f\` in this scope // you might have forgotten […]*" is therefore no longer reachable.
2. Updates `is_certainly_not_a_block` to be in line with the current grammar:
* The seq. `{ ident:` is definitely not the start of a block. Before the removal of ty ascr, `{ ident: ty_start` would begin a block expr.
* This shouldn't make more code compile IINM, it should *ultimately* only affect diagnostics.
* For example, `if T { f: () } {}` will now be interpreted as an `if` with struct lit `T { f: () }` as its *condition* (which is banned in the parser anyway) as opposed to just `T` (with the *consequent* being `f : ()` which is also invalid (since 1.71)). The diagnostics are almost the same because we have two separate parse recovery procedures + diagnostics: `StructLiteralNeedingParens` (*invalid struct lit*) before and `StructLiteralNotAllowedHere` (*struct lits aren't allowed here*) now, as you can see from the diff.
* (As an aside, even before this PR, fn `maybe_suggest_struct_literal` should've just used the much older & clearer `StructLiteralNotAllowedHere`)
* NB: This does sadly regress the compiler output for `tests/ui/parser/type-ascription-in-pattern.rs` but that can be fixed in follow-up PRs. It's not super important IMO and a natural consequence.
3. Removes code that's become dead due to the prior commit.
* Basically reverts #106620 + #112475 (without regressing rustc's output!).
* Now the older & more robust parse recovery procedure (cc `StructLiteralNotAllowedHere`) takes care of the cases the removed code used to handle.
* This automatically fixes the suggestions for \[[playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=7e2030163b11ee96d17adc3325b01780)\]:
* `if Ty::<i32> { f: K }.m() {}`: `if Ty::<i32> { SomeStruct { f: K } }.m() {}` (broken) → ` if (Ty::<i32> { f: K }).m() {}`
* `if <T as Trait>::Out { f: K::<> }.m() {}`: `if <T as Trait>(::Out { f: K::<> }).m() {}` (broken) → `if (<T as Trait>::Out { f: K::<> }).m() {}`
4. Merge and simplify UI tests pertaining to this issue, so it's easier to add more regression tests like for the two cases mentioned above.
5. Merge UI tests and add the two regression tests.

Remove contracts keywords from diagnostic messages
`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 AST support for unsafe binders
I'm splitting up #130514 into pieces. It's impossible for me to keep up with a huge PR like that. I'll land type system support for this next, probably w/o MIR lowering, which will come later.
r? `@oli-obk`
cc `@BoxyUwU` and `@lcnr` who also may want to look at this, though this PR doesn't do too much yet
When we expand a `mod foo;` and parse `foo.rs`, we now track whether that file had an unrecovered parse error that reached the end of the file. If so, we keep that information around. When resolving a path like `foo::bar`, we do not emit any errors for "`bar` not found in `foo`", as we know that the parse error might have caused `bar` to not be parsed and accounted for.
When this happens in an existing project, every path referencing `foo` would be an irrelevant compile error. Instead, we now skip emitting anything until `foo.rs` is fixed. Tellingly enough, we didn't have any test for errors caused by `mod` expansion.
Fix#97734.
Initial implementation of `#[feature(default_field_values]`, proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3681.
Support default fields in enum struct variant
Allow default values in an enum struct variant definition:
```rust
pub enum Bar {
Foo {
bar: S = S,
baz: i32 = 42 + 3,
}
}
```
Allow using `..` without a base on an enum struct variant
```rust
Bar::Foo { .. }
```
`#[derive(Default)]` doesn't account for these as it is still gating `#[default]` only being allowed on unit variants.
Support `#[derive(Default)]` on enum struct variants with all defaulted fields
```rust
pub enum Bar {
#[default]
Foo {
bar: S = S,
baz: i32 = 42 + 3,
}
}
```
Check for missing fields in typeck instead of mir_build.
Expand test with `const` param case (needs `generic_const_exprs` enabled).
Properly instantiate MIR const
The following works:
```rust
struct S<A> {
a: Vec<A> = Vec::new(),
}
S::<i32> { .. }
```
Add lint for default fields that will always fail const-eval
We *allow* this to happen for API writers that might want to rely on users'
getting a compile error when using the default field, different to the error
that they would get when the field isn't default. We could change this to
*always* error instead of being a lint, if we wanted.
This will *not* catch errors for partially evaluated consts, like when the
expression relies on a const parameter.
Suggestions when encountering `Foo { .. }` without `#[feature(default_field_values)]`:
- Suggest adding a base expression if there are missing fields.
- Suggest enabling the feature if all the missing fields have optional values.
- Suggest removing `..` if there are no missing fields.
Add visits to nodes that already have flat_maps in ast::MutVisitor
This PR aims to add `visit_` methods for every node that has a `flat_map_` in MutVisitor, giving implementers free choice over overriding `flat_map` for 1-to-n conversions or `visit` for a 1-to-1.
There is one major problem: `flat_map_stmt`.
While all other default implementations of `flat_map`s are 1-to-1 conversion, as they either only call visits or a internal 1-to-many conversions are natural, `flat_map_stmt` doesn't follow this pattern.
`flat_map_stmt`'s default implementation is a 1-to-n conversion that panics if n > 1 (effectively being a 1-to-[0;1]). This means that it cannot be used as is for a default `visit_stmt`, which would be required to be a 1-to-1.
Implementing `visit_stmt` without runtime checks would require it to reach over a potential `flat_map_item` or `filter_map_expr` overrides and call for their `visit` counterparts directly.
Other than that, if we want to keep the behavior of `flat_map_stmt` it cannot call `visit_stmt` internally.
To me, it seems reasonable to make all default implementations 1-to-1 conversions and let implementers handle `visit_stmt` if they need it, but I don't know if calling `visit` directly when a 1-to-1 is required is ok or not.
