panic location points to start of call chain instead of expect call #69977

est31 · 2020-03-13T17:00:24Z

In call chains, the newly stabilized feature to make panics point to useful locations doesn't report the actual call site of the expand/unwrap call, but to the start of the call chain.

    let v = None;
   //v---- reported panic location
    v.map(|x: ()| x)
        .map(|_| ())
      //v---- expected panic location 
        .expect("test");

It should rather point to the expect/unwrap instead. You can have multiple such expects/unwraps in your chain.

Edit: happens on latest nightly as well as on the 1.42.0 stable release.

This is because of the Span of the call is the whole expression.
Diagnostics also run into this, but at least there you can see the whole range, not just the starting point.
We could make core::panic::Location keep a range but that would increase its size.

For method calls, it would be ideal to point to the method identifier, but propagating that information through MIR might be non-trivial.

In the course of working on track_caller I've actually wondered whether core::panic::Location would be better implemented internally as containing a span, and then using handwaving intrinsic magic to implement the file/line/col information on top of that. A bonus would be the ability to implement location-detail-control from the RFC and e.g. eliminate the filename strings without losing unique Location pointers.

eddyb · 2020-03-23T00:00:33Z

The "handwaving intrinsic magic" would much easier go into the Location value itself rather than having some generated side-tables or whatever.
Anyway, we could add an "end" line/column pair, I wonder if that would slow anything down.

…atthewjasper Track span of function in method calls, and use this in #[track_caller] Fixes rust-lang#69977 When we parse a chain of method calls like `foo.a().b().c()`, each `MethodCallExpr` gets assigned a span that starts at the beginning of the call chain (`foo`). While this is useful for diagnostics, it means that `Location::caller` will return the same location for every call in a call chain. This PR makes us separately record the span of the function name and arguments for a method call (e.g. `b()` in `foo.a().b().c()`). This `Span` is passed through HIR lowering and MIR building to `TerminatorKind::Call`, where it is used in preference to `Terminator.source_info.span` when determining `Location::caller`. This new span is also useful for diagnostics where we want to emphasize a particular method call - for an example, see rust-lang#72389 (comment)

We implement the feature entirely in codegen and in the const evaluator. ## Bottom Line This PR stabilizes the use of `#[track_caller]` everywhere, including traits and extern blocks. It also stabilizes `core::panic::Location::caller`, although the use of that function in a const context remains gated by `#![feature(const_caller_location)]`.

The implementation for the feature already changed the output of panic messages for a number of std functions, as described in the [1.42 release announcement]. The attribute's use in `Index` and `IndexMut` traits is visible to users since 1.44. ## Tests All of the tests for this feature live under [src/test/ui/rfc-2091-track-caller][tests] in the repo. Noteworthy cases: * [use of attr in std] * validates user-facing benefit of the feature * [trait attribute inheritance] * covers subtle behavior designed during implementation and not RFC'd * [const/codegen equivalence] * this was the result of a suspected edge case and investigation * [diverging function support] * covers an unresolved question from the RFC * [fn pointers and shims] * covers important potential sources of unsoundness ## Documentation The rustc-dev-guide now has a chapter on [Implicit Caller Location][dev-guide]. I have an [open PR to the reference][attr-reference-pr] documenting the attribute. The intrinsic's [wrapper] includes some examples as well. ## Implementation History * 2019-10-02: [`#[track_caller]` feature gate (RFC 2091 1/N) rust-lang#65037](rust-lang#65037) * Picked up the patch that @ayosec had started on the feature gate. * 2019-10-13: [Add `Instance::resolve_for_fn_ptr` (RFC 2091 rust-lang#2/N) rust-lang#65182](rust-lang#65182) * 2019-10-20: ~~[WIP Add MIR argument for #[track_caller] (RFC 2091 3/N) rust-lang#65258](rust-lang#65258 * Abandoned approach to send location as a MIR argument. * 2019-10-28: [`std::panic::Location` is a lang_item, add `core::intrinsics::caller_location` (RFC 2091 3/N) rust-lang#65664](rust-lang#65664) * 2019-12-07: [Implement #[track_caller] attribute.

I'm leaving the issue open to discuss whether we want to upstream custom section support. There's an [open issue to discuss mitigation strategies][mitigate-size]. Some decisions remain about the "right" strategies to reduce size without overly constraining the compiler implementation. I'd be excited to see someone carry that work forward but my opinion is that we shouldn't block stabilization on implementing compiler flags for redaction. ### Specialization There's an [open issue][specialization] on the semantics of the attribute in specialization chains. I'm inclined to move forward with stabilization without an exact resolution here given that specialization is itself unstable, but I also think it should be an easy question to resolve. ### Location only points to the start of a call span rust-lang#69977 was resolved by rust-lang#73182, and the next step should probably be to [extend `Location` with a notion of the end of a call](rust-lang#73554). ### Regression of std's panic messages rust-lang#70963 should be resolved by serializing span hygeine to crate metadata: rust-lang#68686.

Stabilize `#[track_caller]`. # Stabilization Report RFC: [2091] Tracking issue: rust-lang#47809 ## Summary From the [rustc-dev-guide chapter][dev-guide]: > Take this example program: ```rust fn main() { let foo: Option<()> = None; foo.unwrap(); // this should produce a useful panic message! } ``` > Prior to Rust 1.42, panics like this `unwrap()` printed a location in libcore: ``` $ rustc +1.41.0 example.rs; example.exe thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value',...core\macros\mod.rs:15:40 note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace. ``` > As of 1.42, we get a much more helpful message: ``` $ rustc +1.42.0 example.rs; example.exe thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value', example.rs:3:5 note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace ``` > These error messages are achieved through a combination of changes to `panic!` internals to make use of `core::panic::Location::caller` and a number of `#[track_caller]` annotations in the standard library which propagate caller information. The attribute adds an implicit caller location argument to the ABI of annotated functions, but does not affect the type or MIR of the function. We implement the feature entirely in codegen and in the const evaluator. ## Bottom Line This PR stabilizes the use of `#[track_caller]` everywhere, including traits and extern blocks. It also stabilizes `core::panic::Location::caller`, although the use of that function in a const context remains gated by `#![feature(const_caller_location)]`. The implementation for the feature already changed the output of panic messages for a number of std functions, as described in the [1.42 release announcement]. The attribute's use in `Index` and `IndexMut` traits is visible to users since 1.44. ## Tests All of the tests for this feature live under [src/test/ui/rfc-2091-track-caller][tests] in the repo.
