const checking: do not do value-based reasoning for interior mutability #121786

RalfJung · 2024-02-29T09:58:45Z

This basically means a nicer error for #121610, see the new test in tests/ui/consts/refs-to-cell-in-final.rs.

Currently we have a mismatch between the dynamic semantics of & (things might be mutable when the pointee type is !Freeze, no matter the pointee value) and const-qualif (doing value-based reasoning). This removes that mismatch. I don't think this can break anything that builds on current nightly; any such code would already later run into the error that the interner complains about the mutable pointer (that's exactly #121610). So a crater run makes little sense.

Overall this peanuts compared to the actual problem with value-based reasoning for interior mutability in promotion (rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines#493). I have no idea how to resolve that. But at least now the use of the problematic qualif is down to 1...

The first commit is independent, I just got worried about promotion of unions and was happy to notice that at least there we don't do value-based reasoning.

Lol, so much for this not being a breaking change. It breaks bootstraping.^^

   |                                 ^^^ this borrow of an interior mutable value may end up in the final value

Why does that not get promoted, though...?

RalfJung · 2024-02-29T10:49:15Z

Surrounding code can be seen here.

This does not get promoted because the type of the slice is not known to be 'static. Interesting, I didn't realize such lifetime constraints factor into promotion decisions...

…s are not interior mutable

RalfJung · 2024-03-02T09:20:20Z

Very strange, this breaks the following code:

const NONE: &'static Option<AtomicUsize> = &None;

This gets promoted, but then there are reborrows in the const itself. But reborrows should be ignored by const-checking...

RalfJung · 2024-03-02T09:36:15Z

Oh wait is const-checking happening before promotion?

RalfJung · 2024-03-02T09:38:42Z

Hm yes that may be the case. In that case I am very surprised that this does not lead to more errors... now I wonder what crater would say.

Ah wait this doesn't entirely remove value-based reasoning from promotion, it only makes that not work inside const any more. Never mind.

It is probably futile to use different checks in promotion and const-checking here...

When it comes to promotion, even rustc itself relies on value-based reasoning:

rust/compiler/rustc_pattern_analysis/src/pat.rs

Lines 229 to 234 in be29cd1

    
           pub(crate) fn ctor(self) -> &'p Constructor<Cx> { 
        
               match self { 
        
                   PatOrWild::Wild => &Wildcard, 
        
                   PatOrWild::Pat(pat) => pat.ctor(), 
        
               } 
        
           }

Wildcard here is of type Constructor<Cx> which involves some associated types of Cx which we do not know to be Freeze at this point.

I don't think there's anything we can do here, unless and until we decide to properly tackle value-based reasoning for interior mutability...

Oh wait is const-checking happening before promotion?

For the record -- yes it does: mir_promoted first calls mir_const_qualif, which does const-checking, and then it runs the promote_consts pass.
