rust/compiler/rustc_mir_transform/src/remove_unneeded_drops.rs

//! This pass replaces a drop of a type that does not need dropping, with a goto.
//!
//! When the MIR is built, we check `needs_drop` before emitting a `Drop` for a place. This pass is
//! useful because (unlike MIR building) it runs after type checking, so it can make use of
//! `TypingMode::PostAnalysis` to provide more precise type information, especially about opaque
//! types.
//!
//! When we're optimizing, we also remove calls to `drop_in_place<T>` when `T` isn't `needs_drop`,
//! as those are essentially equivalent to `Drop` terminators. While the compiler doesn't insert
//! them automatically, preferring the built-in instead, they're common in generic code (such as
//! `Vec::truncate`) so removing them from things like inlined `Vec<u8>` is helpful.
