:P since sym::main
is a const.

Note that we format with a (pinned) nightly rustfmt toolchain, so it may make sense to hold off until rustfmt support is in nightly and then do this via x.py fmt? That'll avoid any mistakes in how you ran the formatting and generally give a better contributor experience I think... |
@Mark-Simulacrum I don't think it makes see to hold off this. Current pinned nightly rustfmt won't change all those cases (since it ignores let chains and stuff; more the ci passing). So I don't really see how holding this off will improve anyone's experience. Additionally On the other hand we'll have to do those changes either way, so we can just as well do them now. |

Unrelated, but why does this not have any |
@bors r=WaffleLapkin,Nilstrieb I continue to expect that waiting until this is in nightly rustfmt (all that is needed for x.py to do this) makes sense and is the easier path for future improvements than manually hacking it together. However, after speaking with @WaffleLapkin we agreed that doesn't really need to block this existing PR. |

Stabilize let chains in the 2024 edition # Stabilization report This proposes the stabilization of `let_chains` ([tracking issue], [RFC 2497]) in the [2024 edition] of Rust. [tracking issue]: rust-lang#53667 [RFC 2497]: rust-lang/rfcs#2497 [2024 edition]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/edition-guide/rust-2024/index.html ## What is being stabilized The ability to `&&`-chain `let` statements inside `if` and `while` is being stabilized, allowing intermixture with boolean expressions. The patterns inside the `let` sub-expressions can be irrefutable or refutable. ```Rust struct FnCall<'a> { fn_name: &'a str, args: Vec<i32>, } fn is_legal_ident(s: &str) -> bool { s.chars() .all(|c| ('a'..='z').contains(&c) || ('A'..='Z').contains(&c)) } impl<'a> FnCall<'a> { fn parse(s: &'a str) -> Option<Self> { if let Some((fn_name, after_name)) = s.split_once("(") && !fn_name.is_empty() && is_legal_ident(fn_name) && let Some((args_str, "")) = after_name.rsplit_once(")") { let args = args_str .split(',') .map(|arg| arg.parse()) .collect::<Result<Vec<_>, _>>(); args.ok().map(|args| FnCall { fn_name, args }) } else { None } } fn exec(&self) -> Option<i32> { let iter = self.args.iter().copied(); match self.fn_name { "sum" => Some(iter.sum()), "max" => iter.max(), "min" => iter.min(), _ => None, } } } fn main() { println!("{:?}", FnCall::parse("sum(1,2,3)").unwrap().exec()); println!("{:?}", FnCall::parse("max(4,5)").unwrap().exec()); } ``` The feature will only be stabilized for the 2024 edition and future editions. Users of past editions will get an error with a hint to update the edition. closes rust-lang#53667 ## Why 2024 edition? Rust generally tries to ship new features to all editions. So even the oldest editions receive the newest features. However, sometimes a feature requires a breaking change so much that offering the feature without the breaking change makes no sense. This occurs rarely, but has happened in the 2018 edition already with `async` and `await` syntax. It required an edition boundary in order for `async`/`await` to become keywords, and the entire feature foots on those keywords. In the instance of let chains, the issue is the drop order of `if let` chains. If we want `if let` chains to be compatible with `if let`, drop order makes it hard for us to [generate correct MIR]. It would be strange to have different behaviour for `if let ... {}` and `if true && let ... {}`. So it's better to [stay consistent with `if let`]. In edition 2024, [drop order changes] have been introduced to make `if let` temporaries be lived more shortly. These changes also affected `if let` chains. These changes make sense even if you don't take the `if let` chains MIR generation problem into account. But if we want to use them as the solution to the MIR generation problem, we need to restrict let chains to edition 2024 and beyond: for let chains, it's not just a change towards more sensible behaviour, but one required for correct function. [generate correct MIR]: rust-lang#104843 [stay consistent with `if let`]: rust-lang#103293 (comment) [drop order changes]: rust-lang#124085 ## Introduction considerations As edition 2024 is very new, this stabilization PR only makes it possible to use let chains on 2024 without that feature gate, it doesn't mark that feature gate as stable/removed. I would propose to continue offering the `let_chains` feature (behind a feature gate) for a limited time (maybe 3 months after stabilization?) on older editions to allow nightly users to adopt edition 2024 at their own pace. After that, the feature gate shall be marked as *stabilized*, not removed, and replaced by an error on editions 2021 and below. ## Implementation history * History from before March 14, 2022 can be found in the [original stabilization PR] that was reverted. * rust-lang#94927 * rust-lang#94951 * rust-lang#94974 * rust-lang#95008 * rust-lang#97295 * rust-lang#98633 * rust-lang#99731 * rust-lang#102394 * rust-lang#100526 * rust-lang#100538 * rust-lang#102998 * rust-lang#103405 * rust-lang#103293 * rust-lang#107251 * rust-lang#110568 * rust-lang#115677 * rust-lang#117743 * rust-lang#117770 * rust-lang#118191 * rust-lang#119554 * rust-lang#129394 * rust-lang#132828 * rust-lang/reference#1179 * rust-lang/reference#1251 * rust-lang/rustfmt#5910 [original stabilization PR]: rust-lang#94927 ## Adoption history ### In the compiler * History before March 14, 2022 can be found in the [original stabilization PR]. * rust-lang#115983 * rust-lang#116549 * rust-lang#116688 ### Outside of the compiler * rust-lang/rust-clippy#11750 * [rspack](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rspack) * [risingwave](https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave) * [dylint](https://github.com/trailofbits/dylint) * [convex-backend](https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend) * [tikv](https://github.com/tikv/tikv) * [Daft](https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft) * [greptimedb](https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb) ## Tests <details> ### Intentional restrictions [`partially-macro-expanded.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4adafcf40aa6064d2bbcb44bc1a50b3b1e86e5e0/tests/ui/rfcs/rfc-2294-if-let-guard/partially-macro-expanded.rs), [`macro-expanded.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4adafcf40aa6064d2bbcb44bc1a50b3b1e86e5e0/tests/ui/rfcs/rfc-2294-if-let-guard/macro-expanded.rs): it is possible to use macros to expand to both the pattern and the expression inside a let chain, but not to the entire `let pat = expr` operand.

Stabilize let chains in the 2024 edition # Stabilization report This proposes the stabilization of `let_chains` ([tracking issue], [RFC 2497]) in the [2024 edition] of Rust. [tracking issue]: rust-lang/rust#53667 [RFC 2497]: rust-lang/rfcs#2497 [2024 edition]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/edition-guide/rust-2024/index.html ## What is being stabilized The ability to `&&`-chain `let` statements inside `if` and `while` is being stabilized, allowing intermixture with boolean expressions. The patterns inside the `let` sub-expressions can be irrefutable or refutable. ```Rust struct FnCall<'a> { fn_name: &'a str, args: Vec<i32>, } fn is_legal_ident(s: &str) -> bool { s.chars() .all(|c| ('a'..='z').contains(&c) || ('A'..='Z').contains(&c)) } impl<'a> FnCall<'a> { fn parse(s: &'a str) -> Option<Self> { if let Some((fn_name, after_name)) = s.split_once("(") && !fn_name.is_empty() && is_legal_ident(fn_name) && let Some((args_str, "")) = after_name.rsplit_once(")") { let args = args_str .split(',') .map(|arg| arg.parse()) .collect::<Result<Vec<_>, _>>(); args.ok().map(|args| FnCall { fn_name, args }) } else { None } } fn exec(&self) -> Option<i32> { let iter = self.args.iter().copied(); match self.fn_name { "sum" => Some(iter.sum()), "max" => iter.max(), "min" => iter.min(), _ => None, } } } fn main() { println!("{:?}", FnCall::parse("sum(1,2,3)").unwrap().exec()); println!("{:?}", FnCall::parse("max(4,5)").unwrap().exec()); } ``` The feature will only be stabilized for the 2024 edition and future editions. Users of past editions will get an error with a hint to update the edition. closes #53667 ## Why 2024 edition? Rust generally tries to ship new features to all editions. So even the oldest editions receive the newest features. However, sometimes a feature requires a breaking change so much that offering the feature without the breaking change makes no sense. This occurs rarely, but has happened in the 2018 edition already with `async` and `await` syntax. It required an edition boundary in order for `async`/`await` to become keywords, and the entire feature foots on those keywords. In the instance of let chains, the issue is the drop order of `if let` chains. If we want `if let` chains to be compatible with `if let`, drop order makes it hard for us to [generate correct MIR]. It would be strange to have different behaviour for `if let ... {}` and `if true && let ... {}`. So it's better to [stay consistent with `if let`]. In edition 2024, [drop order changes] have been introduced to make `if let` temporaries be lived more shortly. These changes also affected `if let` chains. These changes make sense even if you don't take the `if let` chains MIR generation problem into account. But if we want to use them as the solution to the MIR generation problem, we need to restrict let chains to edition 2024 and beyond: for let chains, it's not just a change towards more sensible behaviour, but one required for correct function. [generate correct MIR]: rust-lang/rust#104843 [stay consistent with `if let`]: rust-lang/rust#103293 (comment) [drop order changes]: rust-lang/rust#124085 ## Introduction considerations As edition 2024 is very new, this stabilization PR only makes it possible to use let chains on 2024 without that feature gate, it doesn't mark that feature gate as stable/removed. I would propose to continue offering the `let_chains` feature (behind a feature gate) for a limited time (maybe 3 months after stabilization?) on older editions to allow nightly users to adopt edition 2024 at their own pace. After that, the feature gate shall be marked as *stabilized*, not removed, and replaced by an error on editions 2021 and below. ## Implementation history * History from before March 14, 2022 can be found in the [original stabilization PR] that was reverted. * rust-lang/rust#94927 * rust-lang/rust#94951 * rust-lang/rust#94974 * rust-lang/rust#95008 * rust-lang/rust#97295 * rust-lang/rust#98633 * rust-lang/rust#99731 * rust-lang/rust#102394 * rust-lang/rust#100526 * rust-lang/rust#100538 * rust-lang/rust#102998 * rust-lang/rust#103405 * rust-lang/rust#103293 * rust-lang/rust#107251 * rust-lang/rust#110568 * rust-lang/rust#115677 * rust-lang/rust#117743 * rust-lang/rust#117770 * rust-lang/rust#118191 * rust-lang/rust#119554 * rust-lang/rust#129394 * rust-lang/rust#132828 * rust-lang/reference#1179 * rust-lang/reference#1251 * rust-lang/rustfmt#5910 [original stabilization PR]: rust-lang/rust#94927 ## Adoption history ### In the compiler * History before March 14, 2022 can be found in the [original stabilization PR]. * rust-lang/rust#115983 * rust-lang/rust#116549 * rust-lang/rust#116688 ### Outside of the compiler * rust-lang/rust-clippy#11750 * [rspack](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rspack) * [risingwave](https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave) * [dylint](https://github.com/trailofbits/dylint) * [convex-backend](https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend) * [tikv](https://github.com/tikv/tikv) * [Daft](https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft) * [greptimedb](https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb) ## Tests <details> ### Intentional restrictions [`partially-macro-expanded.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4adafcf40aa6064d2bbcb44bc1a50b3b1e86e5e0/tests/ui/rfcs/rfc-2294-if-let-guard/partially-macro-expanded.rs), [`macro-expanded.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4adafcf40aa6064d2bbcb44bc1a50b3b1e86e5e0/tests/ui/rfcs/rfc-2294-if-let-guard/macro-expanded.rs): it is possible to use macros to expand to both the pattern and the expression inside a let chain, but not to the entire `let pat = expr` operand.

Stabilize let chains in the 2024 edition # Stabilization report This proposes the stabilization of `let_chains` ([tracking issue], [RFC 2497]) in the [2024 edition] of Rust. [tracking issue]: rust-lang/rust#53667 [RFC 2497]: rust-lang/rfcs#2497 [2024 edition]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/edition-guide/rust-2024/index.html ## What is being stabilized The ability to `&&`-chain `let` statements inside `if` and `while` is being stabilized, allowing intermixture with boolean expressions. The patterns inside the `let` sub-expressions can be irrefutable or refutable. ```Rust struct FnCall<'a> { fn_name: &'a str, args: Vec<i32>, } fn is_legal_ident(s: &str) -> bool { s.chars() .all(|c| ('a'..='z').contains(&c) || ('A'..='Z').contains(&c)) } impl<'a> FnCall<'a> { fn parse(s: &'a str) -> Option<Self> { if let Some((fn_name, after_name)) = s.split_once("(") && !fn_name.is_empty() && is_legal_ident(fn_name) && let Some((args_str, "")) = after_name.rsplit_once(")") { let args = args_str .split(',') .map(|arg| arg.parse()) .collect::<Result<Vec<_>, _>>(); args.ok().map(|args| FnCall { fn_name, args }) } else { None } } fn exec(&self) -> Option<i32> { let iter = self.args.iter().copied(); match self.fn_name { "sum" => Some(iter.sum()), "max" => iter.max(), "min" => iter.min(), _ => None, } } } fn main() { println!("{:?}", FnCall::parse("sum(1,2,3)").unwrap().exec()); println!("{:?}", FnCall::parse("max(4,5)").unwrap().exec()); } ``` The feature will only be stabilized for the 2024 edition and future editions. Users of past editions will get an error with a hint to update the edition. closes #53667 ## Why 2024 edition? Rust generally tries to ship new features to all editions. So even the oldest editions receive the newest features. However, sometimes a feature requires a breaking change so much that offering the feature without the breaking change makes no sense. This occurs rarely, but has happened in the 2018 edition already with `async` and `await` syntax. It required an edition boundary in order for `async`/`await` to become keywords, and the entire feature foots on those keywords. In the instance of let chains, the issue is the drop order of `if let` chains. If we want `if let` chains to be compatible with `if let`, drop order makes it hard for us to [generate correct MIR]. It would be strange to have different behaviour for `if let ... {}` and `if true && let ... {}`. So it's better to [stay consistent with `if let`]. In edition 2024, [drop order changes] have been introduced to make `if let` temporaries be lived more shortly. These changes also affected `if let` chains. These changes make sense even if you don't take the `if let` chains MIR generation problem into account. But if we want to use them as the solution to the MIR generation problem, we need to restrict let chains to edition 2024 and beyond: for let chains, it's not just a change towards more sensible behaviour, but one required for correct function. [generate correct MIR]: rust-lang/rust#104843 [stay consistent with `if let`]: rust-lang/rust#103293 (comment) [drop order changes]: rust-lang/rust#124085 ## Introduction considerations As edition 2024 is very new, this stabilization PR only makes it possible to use let chains on 2024 without that feature gate, it doesn't mark that feature gate as stable/removed. I would propose to continue offering the `let_chains` feature (behind a feature gate) for a limited time (maybe 3 months after stabilization?) on older editions to allow nightly users to adopt edition 2024 at their own pace. After that, the feature gate shall be marked as *stabilized*, not removed, and replaced by an error on editions 2021 and below. ## Implementation history * History from before March 14, 2022 can be found in the [original stabilization PR] that was reverted. * rust-lang/rust#94927 * rust-lang/rust#94951 * rust-lang/rust#94974 * rust-lang/rust#95008 * rust-lang/rust#97295 * rust-lang/rust#98633 * rust-lang/rust#99731 * rust-lang/rust#102394 * rust-lang/rust#100526 * rust-lang/rust#100538 * rust-lang/rust#102998 * rust-lang/rust#103405 * rust-lang/rust#103293 * rust-lang/rust#107251 * rust-lang/rust#110568 * rust-lang/rust#115677 * rust-lang/rust#117743 * rust-lang/rust#117770 * rust-lang/rust#118191 * rust-lang/rust#119554 * rust-lang/rust#129394 * rust-lang/rust#132828 * rust-lang/reference#1179 * rust-lang/reference#1251 * rust-lang/rustfmt#5910 [original stabilization PR]: rust-lang/rust#94927 ## Adoption history ### In the compiler * History before March 14, 2022 can be found in the [original stabilization PR]. * rust-lang/rust#115983 * rust-lang/rust#116549 * rust-lang/rust#116688 ### Outside of the compiler * rust-lang/rust-clippy#11750 * [rspack](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rspack) * [risingwave](https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave) * [dylint](https://github.com/trailofbits/dylint) * [convex-backend](https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend) * [tikv](https://github.com/tikv/tikv) * [Daft](https://github.com/Eventual-Inc/Daft) * [greptimedb](https://github.com/GreptimeTeam/greptimedb) ## Tests <details> ### Intentional restrictions [`partially-macro-expanded.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4adafcf40aa6064d2bbcb44bc1a50b3b1e86e5e0/tests/ui/rfcs/rfc-2294-if-let-guard/partially-macro-expanded.rs), [`macro-expanded.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4adafcf40aa6064d2bbcb44bc1a50b3b1e86e5e0/tests/ui/rfcs/rfc-2294-if-let-guard/macro-expanded.rs): it is possible to use macros to expand to both the pattern and the expression inside a let chain, but not to the entire `let pat = expr` operand.

There is no proposed RFC for this however, nor is it implemented on nightly. * Match guards have the `if` keyword as well, but on stable Rust, they don't support `let`. The functionality is available via an unstable feature ([`if_let_guard` tracking issue]). Stabilization of let chains affects this feature in so far as match guards containing let chains now only need the `if_let_guard` feature gate be present instead of also the `let_chains` feature (NOTE: this PR doesn't implement this simplification, it's left for future work).

Since rust-lang/rustfmt#5910 has landed, soon we will have support for formatting let-chains (as soon as rustfmt syncs and beta gets bumped).
This PR applies the changes from master rustfmt to rust-lang/rust eagerly, so that the next beta bump does not have to deal with a 200+ file diff and can remain concerned with other things like
cfg(bootstrap)
-- #113637 was a pain to land, for example, because of let-else.I will also add this commit to the ignore list after it has landed.
The commands that were run -- I'm not great at bash-foo, but this applies rustfmt to every compiler crate, and then reverts the two crates that should probably be formatted out-of-tree.
cc @rust-lang/rustfmt
r? @WaffleLapkin or @Nilstrieb who said they may be able to review this purely mechanical PR :>
cc @Mark-Simulacrum and @petrochenkov, who had some thoughts on the order of operations with big formatting changes in #95262 (comment). I think the situation has changed since then, given that let-chains support exists on master rustfmt now, and I'm fairly confident that this formatting PR should land even if bootstrap rustfmt doesn't yet format let-chains in order to lessen the burden of the next beta bump.
