How does this trickery work?

Centril · 2019-07-16T23:59:32Z

At this point I think we should look to remove the plugin support from rustc.

SimonSapin · 2019-07-17T06:46:32Z

@Zoxc Do you mean this PR?

At first I tried adding #![rustc_deprecated] to the rustc_plugin crate so that depending on it directly causes a warning. But that caused every item to be deprecated as well. So instead this PR renames the crate to rustc_plugin_ (note the suffix, I was not inspired for another name) and creates a new crate with the old name that reexports all of its items. Only the new crate is deprecated.

Or do you mean the bug that it fixes? I’m not sure exactly. It looks like on Windows and macOS, failing to depend on the appropriate dylib crate results in there being two copies of a TLS variable or something. You found the same work-around in 7198687.

@Centril On one hand, we’ve arguably already been at that point for a couple years. On the other hand, Servo’s memory safety unfortunately still depends on a custom lint that checks that GC pointers on the stack are properly rooted: https://github.com/servo/servo/tree/cef98d2e5179/components/script_plugins

I would love to find another solution, this plugin is regularly giving us headaches. But until we do, if the plugin API is removed Servo will be unable to upgrade and will be stuck on an old Rust Nightly.

So there has been no movement since last time we discussed this. That's unfortunate. At some point however, I think it stops being reasonable for rustc to indefinitely maintain the plugin interface solely for the benefit of servo. What would it take to get rid of your reliance on this?

I’ve opened #62868 to discuss this, as I feel it doesn’t need to block this PR.

I don't think this compatibility shim is necessary.
rustc_plugin is almost unused at this point, so it should be ok to make people to migrate to rustc_driver::plugin in one step.

That’s fair, but now that the shim is already implemented it’s the same amount of work to remove it now or later.

If this is merged now, I'll have to make a PR removing it myself once this PR lands, I don't want to do that + I'd prefer some pointless back and forth to not exist in git history.

Ah, I see, Cargo uses it, and we cannot land this PR with broken cargo.
Ok, let's land this with the shim.

Breaking extern crate rustc_plugin; in the same PR as we make its replacement available means that Clippy and RLS will be broken for a few Nightlies until we can get the multi-repo coordination dance together. This doesn’t sound great when it’s easily avoided.

If you’d like I can be on the hook for making the follow-up PR that removes the deprecated shim later.

Yeah, that would be great.

petrochenkov · 2019-08-19T13:20:52Z

@SimonSapin
Could you

rename rustc_plugin_ into rustc_plugin_impl
check whether some docs in this repo (like unstable book or something) still mention rustc_plugin

Otherwise this looks good.
