# P-high review 2023 (Q1)
## Proposed Agenda
* Review the issue with no team, make sure they have one
* Review the T-compiler P-high issues with no WG assigned, try to identify a WG to own them
* If that fails, but they do have an *active* owner, then tag with WG-none.
* Choose a category of remaining issues to review for rest of meeting
* e.g. A-linkage? A-LLVM? A-codegen? A-lifetimes?
[P-high issues w/o T-* label]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AP-high+-label%3AT-cargo+-label%3AT-community+-label%3AT-compiler+-label%3AT-core+-label%3AT-crates-io+-label%3AT-dev-tools+-label%3AT-docs-rs+-label%3AT-infra+-label%3AT-libs+-label%3AT-libs-api+-label%3AT-release+-label%3AT-release+-label%3AT-rustdoc+-label%3AT-style+-label%3AT-types
## Missing team label
[P-high issues without team label][P-high issues w/o T-* label]
* "Pretty Printing on *-windows-gnu broken because .debug_gdb_scripts is not emitted" #25229
- now tagged with T-compiler and wg-debugging
## P-high T-compiler missing owner (WG or assignee)
### No WG nor assignee
[P-high T-compiler issues without any working group nor individual assignee (and unnominated for any team)][P-high T-compiler w/o WG nor assignee]
(21 such issues)
* Our goal for each of these is to assign a WG label, preferably for a WG that we expect to triage issues and try to work through backlog.
**MOVE THE CURSOR BELOW AS WE GO THROUGH THE MEETING**
(the idea is that we take notes as we go through, but we avoid cut-and-pasting anything larger than a short line.)
#### "Codegen weirdness for sum of count_ones over an array" #101060
* no change; we continue to monitor https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57476 as the expected fix for this
#### "extern "C" functions don't generate the same IR definitions as clang on x86, causing problems with cross-language LTO" #102174
* [left comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/102174#issuecomment-1614763994)
* did not identify owner/wg to adopt this; seems like a short-coming for us
#### "Massive performance regression between nightly-2022-08-12 and nightly-2022-08-13" #102952
* explicit feature request for proper tail calls
* [left comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/102952#issuecomment-1614785206)
* downgraded from P-high to P-medium
#### "crate fails to compile release build (v1.65+) with rustc crashing" #106555
* fixed in 1.67.0
* [left comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106555#issuecomment-1614805170)
* closed as fixed
#### "Exponential (?) time complexity in evaluate_trait_predicate_recursively in rustdoc when proving Send/Sync" #106930
* rustdoc specific
* oli-obk took ownership
#### "Memory sanitizer : false positive regression in nightly-2023-01-18" #107149
* left comment re-raising RalfJ point about why the presence/absence of the `noundef` attribute should matter if the body is *indeed* noundef.
#### "[ICE]: compiler segfault with GAT" #107366
* re-assigned to T-types
**THIS IS THE CURSOR**
#### "Miscompilation: Equal pointers comparing as unequal" #107975
* behavior has changed in recent releases: pointer comparison itself may be (more) deterministic now.
* but printing result of integer comparison remains non-deterministic
* still blocked on LLVM's end, with issue: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/45725
#### "impl Trait lifetimes regression 1.67" #108591
* already closed
#### "impl Trait lifetimes regression 1.67 part 2" #108592
* reassigning to T-types
### Discussed on [2023-03-03](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/238009-t-compiler.2Fmeetings/topic/.5Bsteering.5D.202023-03-03.20P-high.20review.20.20compiler-team.23590/near/339368981)
#### Error reporting from attribute macros regressed in 1.46.0 [#76360]
[#76360]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76360
* assigned to wg-diagnostics
#### "Linking with LLD fails (on Windows) but only in 32-bit (due to space in path)" [#78686]
[#78686]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/78686
* left comment proposing downgrade to P-medium due to lack of interest
#### "Passing -C panic=abort still attempts to link in libunwind when targeting i686-pc-windows-gnu on v1.44+ [#79609]
[#79609]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79609
* left comment proposing doc update to explain the standard workarounds here
#### "rustc has wrong signature for C function with 16-byte aligned stack argument in x86_64 Linux" [#80127]
[#80127]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/80127
* left comment asking PR author for [#103830][] if they will have time in near future to address review feedback
[#103830]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/103830
#### "auto trait candidate selection is unsound" [#84857][]
[#84857]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84857
* left comment asking if resolving this is inherently blocked by the new trait solver ([#107374][])
[#107374]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/107374
#### "A Pin unsoundness involving an impl DerefMut for Pin<&dyn LocalTrait>" [#85099][]
[#85099]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85099
* nominated for T-types discussion based on input from withoutboats
### Discussed on [2023-04-14](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/238009-t-compiler.2Fmeetings/topic/.5Bsteering.5D.202023-04-14.20P-high.20review.20.20compiler-team.23590/near/349393792)
#### "Rustc passes syntactically invalid input to attribute macros" #90256
* assigned to WG-diagnostics
#### "Long-running const-eval (loops) unusable in practice." #93481
* downgraded to P-medium
#### "rustc 1.59/1.60 builds musl binaries that segfault, when compiling with musl-gcc wrappers, due to static-pie default" #95926
* a detect+diagnostic strategy is acceptable here
* tagged with E-help-wanted, E-easy, E-mentor, and assigned pnkfelix as the mentor.
#### "How should we expose atomic load/store on targets that don't support full atomics" #99668
* Not clear on who best to own this, especially if the main work remaining is to add support for `+forced-atomics` to a smorgasborg of LLVM targets.
* posted question for Amanieu and nikic to confirm that `+forced-atomics` support **is** the plan going forward.
#### "Double free on Linux with stable toolchain" #100914
* treating as dupe of #83060
* we should "immediately" add a diagnostic warning when any one stack frame is larger than a certain threshold, simply based on all the miscellaenous code gen bugs we are seeing in this space.
