This is the tracking issue for the unstable option -Z src-hash-algorithm

Steps

Unresolved Questions

  • Should we have a separate option in the target specification to specify the preferred hash algorithm, or continue to use is_like_msvc?
  • Should continue to have a command line option to override the preferred option? Or is it acceptable to require users to create a custom target specification to override the hash algorithm?

Add hash of source files in debug info

LLVM supports placing the hash of source files inside the debug info.
This information can be used by a debugger to verify that the source code matches
the executable.

This change adds support for both hash algorithms supported by LLVM, MD5 and SHA1, controlled by a target option.

* DWARF only supports MD5
* LLVM IR supports MD5 and SHA1 (and SHA256 in LLVM 11).
* CodeView (.PDB) supports MD5, SHA1, and SHA256.

Fixes rust-lang#68980.

#73526 has been merged, updating LLVM to 11 and making it possible to support SHA256 as well. I guess for now one still has to give compatibility for older LLVMs though, so one maybe has to place a few cfg's here and there.

Add support for SHA256 source file hashing

Adds support for `-Z src-hash-algorithm sha256`, which became available in LLVM 11.

Using an older version of LLVM will cause an error `invalid checksum kind` if the hash algorithm is set to sha256.

Are there documentation changes needed for this? I'd be happy to help!

@pierwill It is currently documented as an unstable option here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/unstable-book/compiler-flags/src-hash-algorithm.html

I think the next step here would be to make a stabilization PR and adjust the documentation move it to the stable list of codegen options.

Visited during T-compiler backlog bonanza

It sounds like this is either ready to stabilize as is (with a shift from a -Z option to something stable), or it should move into something that is specified as part of of the target specification, and we just aren't even sure which of those modes we want this in for the stable form.

Can we maybe get a summary of the current implementation status, as well as the tradeoffs between those two options, to inform that decision?
