impl DispatchFromDyn for Cell and UnsafeCell
After some fruitful discussion on [Internals](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/impl-dispatchfromdyn-for-cell-2/16520) here's my first PR to rust-lang/rust 🎉
Please let me know if there's something I missed.
This adds `DispatchFromDyn` impls for `Cell`, `UnsafeCell` and `SyncUnsafeCell`.
An existing test is also expanded to test the `Cell` impl (which requires the `UnsafeCell` impl)
The different `RefCell` types can not implement `DispatchFromDyn` since they have more than one (non ZST) field.
**Edit:**
### What:
These changes allow one to make types like `MyRc`(code below), to be object safe method receivers after implementing `DispatchFromDyn` and `Deref` for them.
This allows for code like this:
```rust
struct MyRc<T: ?Sized>(Cell<NonNull<RcBox<T>>>);
/* impls for DispatchFromDyn, CoerceUnsized and Deref for MyRc*/
trait Trait {
fn foo(self: MyRc<Self>);
}
let impls_trait = ...;
let rc = MyRc::new(impls_trait) as MyRc<dyn Trait>;
rc.foo();
```
Note: `Cell` and `UnsafeCell` won't directly become valid method receivers since they don't implement `Deref`. Making use of these changes requires a wrapper type and nightly features.
### Why:
A custom pointer type with interior mutability allows one to store extra information in the pointer itself.
These changes allow for such a type to be a method receiver.
### Examples:
My use case is a cycle aware custom `Rc` implementation that when dropping a cycle marks some references dangling.
On the [forum](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/impl-dispatchfromdyn-for-cell/14762/8) andersk mentioned that they track if a `Gc` reference is rooted with an extra bit in the reference itself.
Fix escaping inference var ICE in `point_at_expr_source_of_inferred_type`
Fixes#107158
`point_at_expr_source_of_inferred_type` uses `lookup_probe` to adjust the self type of a method receiver -- but that method returns inference variables from inside a probe. That means that the ty vars are no longer valid, so we can't use any infcx methods on them.
Also, pass some extra span info to hack a quick solution to bad labels, resulting in this diagnostic improvement:
```rust
fn example2() {
let mut x = vec![1];
x.push("");
}
```
```diff
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/main.rs:5:12
|
5 | x.push("");
| ---- ^^
| | |
| | expected integer, found `&str`
- | | this is of type `&'static str`, which causes `x` to be inferred as `Vec<{integer}>`
| arguments to this method are incorrect
```
(since that "which causes `x` to be inferred as `Vec<{integer}>` part is wrong)
r? `@estebank`
(we really should make this code better in general, cc #106590, but that's a bit bigger issue that needs some more thinking about)
Teach parser to understand fake anonymous enum syntax
Parse `Ty | OtherTy` in function argument and return types.
Parse type ascription in top level patterns.
Minimally address #100741.
Suggest using a lock for `*Cell: Sync` bounds
I mostly did this for `OnceCell<T>` at first because users will be confused to see that the `OnceCell<T>` in `std` isn't `Sync` but then extended it to `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>` as well.
Add hint for missing lifetime bound on trait object when type alias is used
Fix issue #103582.
The problem: When a type alias is used to specify the return type of the method in a trait impl, the suggestion for fixing the problem of "missing lifetime bound on trait object" of the trait impl will not be created. The issue caused by the code which searches for the return trait objects when constructing the hint suggestion is not able to find the trait objects since they are specified in the type alias path instead of the return path of the trait impl.
The solution: Trace the trait objects in the type alias path and provide them along with the alias span to generate the suggestion in case the type alias is used in return type of the method in the trait impl.
Add suggestion to remove if in let..else block
Adds an additional hint to failures where we encounter an else keyword while we're parsing an if-let expression.
This is likely that the user has accidentally mixed if-let and let..else together.
Fixes#103791.
- On compiler-error's suggestion of moving this lower down the stack,
along the path of `report_mismatched_types()`, which is used
by `rustc_hir_analysis` and `rustc_hir_typeck`.
- update ui tests, add test
- add suggestions for references to fn pointers
- modify `TypeErrCtxt::same_type_modulo_infer` to take `T: relate::Relate` instead of `Ty`
Adds an additional hint to failures where we encounter an else keyword
while we're parsing an if-let block.

remove error code from `E0789`, add UI test/docs
`E0789` shouldn't have an error code, it's explicitly internal-only and is tiny in scope. (I wonder if we can tighten the standard for this in the RFC?) I also added a UI test and error docs (done like `E0208`, they are "no longer emitted").
r? `@GuillaumeGomez` (shouldn't need a compiler review, it's pretty minor)
Consider doc(alias) when providing typo suggestions
This means that
```rust
impl Foo {
#[doc(alias = "quux")]
fn bar(&self) {}
}
fn main() {
(Foo {}).quux();
}
```
will suggest `bar`. This currently uses the "there is a method with a similar name" help text, because the point where we choose and emit a suggestion is different from where we gather the suggestions. Changes have mainly been made to the latter.
The selection code will now fall back to aliased candidates, but generally only if there is no candidate that matches based on the existing Levenshtein methodology.
Fixes#83968.
