codegen: Copy to an alloca when the argument is neither by-val nor by-move for indirect pointer.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/155241.
When a value is passed via an indirect pointer, the value needs to be copied to a new alloca. For x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, `Thing` is the case:
```rust
#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
struct Thing(usize, usize, usize);
pub fn foo() {
let thing = Thing(0, 0, 0);
bar(thing);
assert_eq!(thing.0, 0);
}
#[inline(never)]
#[unsafe(no_mangle)]
pub fn bar(mut thing: Thing) {
thing.0 = 1;
}
```
Before passing the thing to the bar function, the thing needs to be copied to an alloca that is passed to bar.
```llvm
%0 = alloca [24 x i8], align 8
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0.p0.i64(ptr align 8 %0, ptr align 8 %thing, i64 24, i1 false)
call void @bar(ptr %0)
```
This patch applies the rule to the untupled arguments as well.
```rust
#![feature(fn_traits)]
#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
struct Thing(usize, usize, usize);
#[inline(never)]
#[unsafe(no_mangle)]
pub fn foo() {
let thing = (Thing(0, 0, 0),);
(|mut thing: Thing| {
thing.0 = 1;
}).call(thing);
assert_eq!(thing.0.0, 0);
}
```
For this case, this patch changes from
```llvm
; call example::foo::{closure#0}
call void @_RNCNvCs15qdZVLwHPA_7example3foo0B3_(ptr ..., ptr %thing)
```
to
```llvm
%0 = alloca [24 x i8], align 8
call void @llvm.memcpy.p0.p0.i64(ptr align 8 %0, ptr align 8 %thing, i64 24, i1 false)
; call example::foo::{closure#0}
call void @_RNCNvCs15qdZVLwHPA_7example3foo0B3_(ptr ..., ptr %0)
```
However, the same rule cannot be applied to tail calls that would be unsound, because the caller's stack frame is overwritten by the callee's stack frame. Fortunately, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/151143 has already handled the special case. We must not copy again.
No copy is needed for by-move arguments, because the argument is passed to the called "in-place".
No copy is also needed for by-val arguments, because the attribute implies that a hidden copy of the pointee is made between the caller and the callee.
NOTE: The patch has a trick for tail calls that we pass by-move. We can choose to copy an alloca even for by-move arguments, but tail calls require MUST-by-move.
One extension worth noting is the use of revisions as custom prefixes for
FileCheck. If your codegen test has different behavior based on the chosen
target or different compiler flags that you want to exercise, you can use a
revisions annotation, like so:
After specifying those variations, you can write different expected, or
explicitly unexpected output by using <prefix>-SAME: and <prefix>-NOT:,
like so:
