WG checkins

Niko comments: nothing major to report - there is ongoing polish work as well as refactorings to support RPIT in traits etc.

Still haven't published the retrospective blog post (Niko was going to write some paragraphs but hasn't gotten to it yet).

Generic associated types

  • A few more bug fix PRs have landed; there a couple PRs waiting for Jack to update
  • GAT where clause position question (#90076) has been resolved by lang team: we will accept both positions, but deprecate where clauses before the equals
  • Would like to think about and consider the design of std APIs with GATs prior to stabilization
    • generic-associated-types-initiative#1 covers Iterator/LendingIterator split; would love thoughts on use cases
  • Where clause question was the final "blocking" issue for GATs
    • A few more issues to triage, a documentation writeup, and library design considerations are precursors to stabilization

TAITs

  • Lazy TAIT PR is open by Oli: #92007
    • It's being coreviewed by Niko and @lcnr

async fn in traits

  • @spastorino is working on some ast lowering refactoring that's a precursor to this

negative impls in coherence

  • @spastorino has done some more work here in #93175

Issues of Note

Short Summary

P-critical

T-compiler

  • "Named format arguments introduce implicit positional arguments" rust#93378
  • "rustdoc ICE: 'no entry found for key'" rust#93476
    • Assigned P-critical based on a similar issue (#93428)
    • Anyway, it should be fixed by rust#93539

T-rustdoc

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

P-high regressions

P-high beta regressions

  • "Some mixes of Rust with C/C++ are broken for arm64 mac and windows" rust#92885

Unassigned P-high nightly regressions

  • No unassigned P-high nightly regressions this time.

Performance logs

2022-02-02 triage logs

This was a relatively quiet week with regressions and improvements relatively equally each other out. The big exception is with a somewhat large regression in rustdoc which was needed for a large and important architectural change. This could lead to users see somewhat slower doc build times with more memory used especially in projects with large crate dependency graphs.

Triage done by @rylev.
Revision range: c54dfee65126a0ac385d55389a316e89095a0713..1ea4851715893ee3f365a8ef09d47165e9a7864f

2 Regressions, 4 Improvements, 2 Mixed; 1 of them in rollups
35 comparisons made in total
29 Untriaged Pull Requests

Regressions

rustdoc: Pre-calculate traits that are in scope for doc links #88679

  • Average relevant regression: 5.4%
  • Largest regression in instruction counts: 9.1% on full builds of regression-31157 doc
  • All the regressions are localized to rustdoc and are quite substantial but exacerbated by an architectural issue which needs to be solved.
  • The regressions are well known and extensively discussed in the PR with the next steps being tracked in an issue.

Store def_id_to_hir_id as variant in hir_owner. #93373

  • Average relevant regression: 1.2%
  • Average relevant improvement: -0.3%
  • Largest regression in instruction counts: 5.5% on incr-unchanged builds of match-stress-enum check
  • This is the first commit (originally bundled with #93301) of a larger PR (#89278) which saw larger PR regressions than the two sub PRs combined.
  • A more detailed justification for this can be found here, but in general this allows for even more incremental compilation and is thus worth the small immediate compilation performance penalty.

Improvements

  • Fix the unsoundness in the early_otherwise_branch mir opt pass #91840
  • Only traverse attrs once while checking for coherence override attributes #93343
  • Rollup of 10 pull requests #93427
  • Disable drop range analysis #93284

Mixed

Store hir_id_to_def_id in OwnerInfo. #93301

  • Average relevant regression: 0.6%
  • Average relevant improvement: -0.5%
  • Largest improvement in instruction counts: -0.6% on full builds of unused-warnings check
  • Largest regression in instruction counts: 2.2% on incr-unchanged builds of match-stress-enum check
  • This is the first commit (originally bundled with #93373) of a larger PR (#89278) which saw larger PR regressions than the two sub PRs combined.

Create core::fmt::ArgumentV1 with generics instead of fn pointer #90891

  • Average relevant regression: 1.2%
  • Average relevant improvement: -1.2%
  • Largest improvement in instruction counts: -6.7% on full builds of tokio-webpush-simple opt
  • Largest regression in instruction counts: 2.1% on full builds of keccak check
  • The improvements outweigh the regressions considerably and this was considered a fine trade off.
