Make TLS accessors closures that return pointers The current TLS macros generate a function that returns an `Option<&'static T>`. This is both risky as we lie about lifetimes, and necessitates that those functions are `unsafe`. By returning a `*const T` instead, the accessor function do not have safety requirements any longer and can be made closures without hassle. This PR does exactly that! For native TLS, the closure approach makes it trivial to select the right accessor function at compile-time, which could result in a slight speed-up (I have the hope that the accessors are now simple enough for the MIR-inliner to kick in).
UI Tests
This folder contains rustc's
UI tests.
Test Directives (Headers)
Typically, a UI test will have some test directives / headers which are special comments that tell compiletest how to build and intepret a test.
As part of an on-going effort to rewrite compiletest
(see https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/536), a major
change proposal to change legacy compiletest-style headers // <directive>
to ui_test-style headers
//@ <directive> was accepted (see
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/512.
An example directive is ignore-test. In legacy compiletest style, the header
would be written as
// ignore-test
but in ui_test style, the header would be written as
//@ ignore-test
compiletest is changed to accept only //@ directives for UI tests
(currently), and will reject and report an error if it encounters any
comments // <content> that may be parsed as an legacy compiletest-style
test header. To fix this, you should migrate to the ui_test-style header
//@ <content>.
