deduce_param_attrs.rs

//! Deduces supplementary parameter attributes from MIR.
//!
//! Deduced parameter attributes are those that can only be soundly determined by examining the
//! body of the function instead of just the signature. These can be useful for optimization
//! purposes on a best-effort basis. We compute them here and store them into the crate metadata so
//! dependent crates can use them.

        // OK, this is subtle. Suppose that we're trying to deduce whether `x` in `f` is read-only
        // and we have the following:
        //
        //     fn f(x: BigStruct) { g(x) }
        //     fn g(mut y: BigStruct) { y.foo = 1 }
        //
        // If, at the generated MIR level, `f` turned into something like:
        //
        //      fn f(_1: BigStruct) -> () {
        //          let mut _0: ();
        //          bb0: {
        //              _0 = g(move _1) -> bb1;
        //          }
        //          ...
        //      }
        //
        // then it would be incorrect to mark `x` (i.e. `_1`) as `readonly`, because `g`'s write to
        // its copy of the indirect parameter would actually be a write directly to the pointer that
        // `f` passes. Note that function arguments are the only situation in which this problem can
        // arise: every other use of `move` in MIR doesn't actually write to the value it moves
        // from.
        //
        // Anyway, right now this situation doesn't actually arise in practice. Instead, the MIR for
        // that function looks like this:
        //
        //      fn f(_1: BigStruct) -> () {
        //          let mut _0: ();
        //          let mut _2: BigStruct;
        //          bb0: {
        //              _2 = move _1;
        //              _0 = g(move _2) -> bb1;
        //          }
        //          ...
        //      }
        //
        // Because of that extra move that MIR construction inserts, `x` (i.e. `_1`) can *in
        // practice* safely be marked `readonly`.
        //
        // To handle the possibility that other optimizations (for example, destination propagation)
        // might someday generate MIR like the first example above, we panic upon seeing an argument
        // to *our* function that is directly moved into *another* function as an argument. Having
        // eliminated that problematic case, we can safely treat moves as copies in this analysis.
        //
        // In the future, if MIR optimizations cause arguments of a caller to be directly moved into
        // the argument of a callee, we can just add that argument to `mutated_args` instead of
        // panicking.
        //
        // Note that, because the problematic MIR is never actually generated, we can't add a test
        // case for this.
