WG checkins

@wg-incr-comp by @pnkfelix and @Wesley Wiser (previous checkin):

nothing to report at this time

@WG-llvm by @nagisa (previous checkin):

  • pretty disappointing that our hand is forced to turn off newPM for the time being; LLVM project is undergoing migration of their issue tracker from bugzilla to github, which may serve for a more straightforward experience in contributing issues to the LLVM project.
  • LLVM 13.0.1-rc1 release candidate out

Backport nominations

T-compiler stable / T-compiler beta

  • No beta nominations for T-compiler this time.
  • No stable nominations for T-compiler this time.

T-rustdoc stable / T-rustdoc beta

  • No beta nominations for T-rustdoc this time.
  • No stable nominations for T-rustdoc this time.

Issues of Note

Short Summary

P-critical

T-compiler

  • "Miscompilation where binding only some fields leaks the others" rust#90752
  • "Unsound drop due to imperfect lifetime checks" rust#90838
    • @pnkfelix fixed this in PR #90840 which was beta backported
    • next steps for this issue? perhaps close it?

    • previously discussion: the new pass-manager has been disabled in beta pre-1.57 with PR rust#91189 from @nagisa
    • Next steps for this issue? (still critical)?

T-rustdoc

  • No P-critical issues for T-rustdoc this time.

Performance logs

triage logs for 2021-11-30

Overall, many changes this week, but overall an improvement on multiple benchmarks over
the week from a number of pull requests dedicated to optimizations of certain
patterns. We are still seeing a large number of spurious changes due to
rustc-perf#1105, which has yet to be addressed.

Triage done by @simulacrum.
Revision range: 22c2d9ddbf356bcdb718e88ca6ee3665e1e42690..1c0287830e0fb3c4007afea2819ba03766da6e9c

4 Regressions, 4 Improvements, 9 Mixed; 5 of them in rollups
41 comparisons made in total

Regressions

Mark places as initialized when mutably borrowed #90788

  • Moderate regression in instruction counts (up to 0.6% on full builds of match-stress-enum)
  • Fix for a miscompilation, so necessary regression.

Visit param_env field in Obligation's TypeFoldable impl #91205

  • Very large regression in instruction counts (up to 6.6% on full builds of hyper-2)
  • Fix for incorrect code, regressions unfortunately unavoidable.

Improvements

  • Rollup of 6 pull requests #91159
  • Optimize live point computation #90491
  • Remove eval_always from upvars. #90580
  • Rollup of 8 pull requests #91388

Mixed

Avoid generating empty closures for fieldless enum variants #89881

  • Small improvement in instruction counts (up to -1.6% on incr-patched: add static arr item builds of coercions)
  • Small regression in instruction counts (up to 0.6% on incr-unchanged builds of clap-rs)
  • Primarily benefits bootstrap time (-5.4 seconds, -0.7%), instruction count
    changes largely real but not avoidable (differences in LLVM decision making).

Remove eval_always for inherent_impls. #90579

Faster Layout::array #91246

  • Large improvement in instruction counts (up to -4.2% on incr-unchanged builds of deep-vector)
  • Very large regression in instruction counts (up to 5.0% on incr-unchanged builds of inflate)
  • Most prominent regression is spurious, and overall this looks like
    improvements outweighing regressions.

Rollup of 7 pull requests #91269

  • Very large improvement in instruction counts (up to -5.1% on incr-unchanged builds of inflate)
  • Very large regression in instruction counts (up to 18.3% on incr-unchanged builds of clap-rs)
  • Regressions seem potentially real, but may also be related to
    rustc-perf#1105.
    Locally this seems to not be the case, though, so it seems probable that the
    regression is real.

Rollup of 6 pull requests #91288

  • Small improvement in instruction counts (up to -1.0% on incr-patched: b9b3e592dd cherry picked builds of style-servo)
  • Large regression in instruction counts (up to 1.7% on full builds of externs)
  • Seems to be a genuine regression. Unclear what the cause is.

Make TypeFolder::fold_* return Result #91230

  • Large improvement in instruction counts (up to -1.0% on incr-full builds of deeply-nested-async)
  • Large regression in instruction counts (up to 4.0% on incr-unchanged builds of deep-vector)
  • Regressions seem genuine, but are likely to be shuffling of instruction
    sequences rather than something directly addressable.

Update libc to 0.2.108 #90681

  • Very large improvement in instruction counts (up to -15.3% on incr-unchanged builds of clap-rs)
  • Large regression in instruction counts (up to 3.0% on incr-unchanged builds of deeply-nested-async)
  • Looks like a genuine regression, potentially slightly more work at crate loading time.

Tokenize emoji as if they were valid identifiers #88781

  • Small improvement in instruction counts (up to -0.8% on full builds of deeply-nested)
  • Small regression in instruction counts (up to 0.3% on incr-full builds of deeply-nested-async)
  • Genuine regression; more expensive logic in tokenization.

Rollup of 6 pull requests #91221

  • Moderate improvement in instruction counts (up to -1.3% on incr-unchanged builds of wg-grammar)
  • Small regression in instruction counts (up to 0.6% on full builds of ctfe-stress-4)
  • Regression seems genuine, though cause is unclear.
