I thought some more about this and came to the conclusion that this change cannot cause segfaults. Even if unsafe casts lead to the borrow checker not seeing an issue, the const result interner will notice that there is a dangling pointer and raise a hard error (as it did in a few of the other cases). |

"Fixed" use of function calls in const contexts in case that rust-lang/rust#80243 gets merged.
Is there any plan to eventually stabilize some form of Also, explicitly marking some |
Currently, the plan is to rely on
You are right. #71796 was from before we had a plan. If the plan in the RFC works out (if we can truly make all promoteds not fail during evaluation / treat failures as a hard error), then I'd be fine with reverting #71796. |
|
There another alternative we could pursue to limit the breakage caused here: if the expression-to-promote post-dominates the start block, i.e. if the expression will definitely be evaluated whenever the const initializer is evaluated, we could promote it and treat failure-to-evaluate-the-promoted as a hard error -- because we know that the const initializer will then definitely also fail to evaluate. This would definitely permit all "old" uses that do not involve any control flow. @rodrimati1992 would that work for you, or is there control flow in the const code your macro is generating? It would, however, have two strange effects:
From an implementation perspective, this change would mean we could not So, this is not a great solution, but it could be a viable backup plan if we do not want to force people to move to |
|
@RalfJung That would be a good solution for abi_stable, it doesn't use any const fn features that weren't in Rust 1.41.0. |

I think this PR has served its purpose; we now have a better idea of what promoted Let's use the tracking issue #80619 for further discussion. |

make sure that promoteds which fail to evaluate in dead const code behave correctly rust-lang#80243 showed that we'll have to live with these kinds of failing promoteds for a while, so let's make sure we have a test that covers them.

…<try> restrict promotion of `const fn` calls We only promote them in `const`/`static` initializers, but even that is still unfortunate -- we still cannot add promoteds to required_consts. But we should add them there to make sure it's always okay to evaluate every const we encounter in a MIR body. That effort of not promoting things that can fail to evaluate is tracked in rust-lang#80619. These `const fn` calls are the last missing piece. So I propose that we do not promote const-fn calls in const when that may fail without the entire const failing, thereby completing rust-lang#80619. Unfortunately we can't just reject promoting these functions outright due to backwards compatibility. So let's see if we can find a hack that makes crater happy... For the record, this is the [crater analysis](rust-lang#80243 (comment)) from when I tried to entirely forbid this kind of promotion. It's a tiny amount of breakage and if we had a nice alternative for code like that, we could conceivably push it through... but sadly, inline const expressions are still blocked on t-lang concerns about post-monomorphization errors and we haven't yet figured out an implementation that can resolve those concerns. So we're forced to make progress via other means, such as terrible hacks like this. Attempt one: only promote calls on the "safe path" at the beginning of a MIR block. This is the path that starts at the start block and continues via gotos and calls, but stops at the first branch. If we had imposed this restriction before stabilizing `if` and `match` in `const`, this would have definitely been sufficient... r? `@oli-obk`

For the record, this is the [crater analysis](rust-lang#80243 (comment)) from when I tried to entirely forbid this kind of promotion. It's a tiny amount of breakage and if we had a nice alternative for code like that, we could conceivably push it through... but sadly, inline const expressions are still blocked on t-lang concerns about post-monomorphization errors and we haven't yet figured out an implementation that can resolve those concerns. So we're forced to make progress via other means, such as terrible hacks like this. Attempt one: only promote calls on the "safe path" at the beginning of a MIR block. This is the path that starts at the start block and continues via gotos and calls, but stops at the first branch. If we had imposed this restriction before stabilizing `if` and `match` in `const`, this would have definitely been sufficient... EDIT: Turns out that works. :) **Here's the t-lang [nomination comment](rust-lang#121557 (comment) And here's the [FCP comment](rust-lang#121557 (comment)). r? `@oli-obk`

This is a crater experiment related to rust-lang/rfcs#3027, to determine the fall-out from not promoting
