@T-Types checkin by @Jack Huey:

Backport nominations

Note: many of these regressions were marked at P-high/P-critical since discovered by a crater run (thus impacting one of more crates we use as canary). Also: credit to @Michael Goulet (compiler-errors) for authoring many of PRs fixing them :thank_you:

T-compiler beta / T-compiler stable

  • :beta: "Fix some unsoundness with PassMode::Cast ABI" rust#122619
    • Fixes #122617, P-high unsoundness in LLVM IR
    • authored by @_erikdesjardins
  • :beta: "Update to LLVM 18.1.2" rust#122772
    • Fixes #122476 (thread sanitizer on x86 caused a compilation abort), upstream issue was llvm-project#85226
    • authored by @_Nikita Popov
  • :beta: "Encode implied predicates for traits" rust#122891
    • Fixes #122859 (not marked as regression). Rationale explained at this comment
    • authored by @_Michael Goulet (compiler-errors)
  • :beta: "Make sure to insert Sized bound first into clauses list" rust#123302
    • Fixes #123279 (rationale at this comment)
    • authored by @_Michael Goulet (compiler-errors)
  • :beta: "Don't inherit codegen attrs from parent static" rust#123310
    • Fixes 2 ICEs: #123274 (found in beta crater run) and #123243
    • Caused by #121644 (the static allocations inherit the codegen flags from their parent statics. In this case we have a static allocation who inherits the #[no_mangle] flag from the parent; however, the allocation doesn't actually have an item name to use for #[no_mangle])
    • authored by @_Michael Goulet (compiler-errors)
  • :beta: "Only inspect user-written predicates for privacy concerns" rust#123377
    • Fixes #123288 (P-high regression discovered in crater run): "Previously we looked at the elaborated predicates, which, due to adding various bounds on fields, end up requiring trivially true bounds. But these bounds can contain private types, which the privacy visitor then found and errored about."
    • authored by @_oli
    • being reviewed
  • :beta: "[beta] Fix the f16 and f128 feature gate regression" rust#123445
    • Fixes #123282 (P-high regression discovered in crater run)
    • Fix authored by @_Trevor Gross
    • waiting on review
  • No stable nominations for T-compiler this time.

T-types stable / T-types beta

  • No beta nominations for T-types this time.

Performance logs

triage logs for 2024-04-01

A pretty quiet week, with most changes (dropped from the report below) being
due to continuing bimodality in the performance data. No particularly notable
changes landed.

Triage done by @simulacrum.
Revision range: 73476d49904751f8d90ce904e16dfbc278083d2c..3d5528c287860b918e178a34f04ff903325571b3

Skipping details for brevity. Feel free to have a look at the report after the meeting.

Nominated Issues

T-compiler

  • "Fallout from expansion of redundant import checking" rust#121708
    • Issue opened last month, caused by #117772 (issues when expanding redundant import checking)
    • Nominated by @Josh Triplett (comment): points out that linting this will very likely impact libs-api policy on additions to the prelude
    • reverting the change to avoid the issue reach stable seems complicated (comment)
  • "Consider using llvm-strip" rust#123151
    • nominated by @Jubilee

    • on various systems, we are encountering reports of people having inadequately-built strip binaries in their PATH that cannot support all Rust compiler use-cases (…) llvm-strip gets everything right, as far as we are concerned

  • "regression: compiler had non-unwinding abort" rust#123286
    • another beta crater run regression. Actually we fixed a UB (comment): "People were executing UB, we now prevent that and try to tell them about it"
    • @Ben Kimock (Saethlin) suggests a possible quick fix for a beta backport (comment)

RFC

  • No I-compiler-nominated RFCs this time.
