<id>urn:sha1:4883830e9784bdf6223fe0e5f1ea36d4a4ab4fef</id>
<content type='text'>
Rewrite the initializer macros `[pin_]init!` using `syn`. No functional
changes intended aside from improved error messages on syntactic and
semantical errors. For example if one forgets to use `&lt;-` with an
initializer (and instead uses `:`):

    impl Bar {
        fn new() -&gt; impl PinInit&lt;Self&gt; { ... }
    }

    impl Foo {
        fn new() -&gt; impl PinInit&lt;Self&gt; {
            pin_init!(Self { bar: Bar::new() })
        }
    }

Then the declarative macro would report:

    error[E0308]: mismatched types
      --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/init/colon_instead_of_arrow.rs:21:9
       |
    14 |     fn new() -&gt; impl PinInit&lt;Self&gt; {
       |                 ------------------ the found opaque type
    ...
    21 |         pin_init!(Self { bar: Bar::new() })
       |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
       |         |
       |         expected `Bar`, found opaque type
       |         arguments to this function are incorrect
       |
       = note:   expected struct `Bar`
               found opaque type `impl pin_init::PinInit&lt;Bar&gt;`
    note: function defined here
      --&gt; $RUST/core/src/ptr/mod.rs
       |
       | pub const unsafe fn write&lt;T&gt;(dst: *mut T, src: T) {
       |                     ^^^^^
       = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::__init_internal` which comes from the expansion of the macro `pin_init` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

And the new error is:

    error[E0308]: mismatched types
      --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/init/colon_instead_of_arrow.rs:21:31
       |

       |                 ------------------ the found opaque type
    ...
    21 |         pin_init!(Self { bar: Bar::new() })
       |                          ---  ^^^^^^^^^^ expected `Bar`, found opaque type
       |                          |
       |                          arguments to this function are incorrect
       |
       = note:   expected struct `Bar`
               found opaque type `impl pin_init::PinInit&lt;Bar&gt;`
    note: function defined here
      --&gt; $RUST/core/src/ptr/mod.rs

       | pub const unsafe fn write&lt;T&gt;(dst: *mut T, src: T) {
       |                     ^^^^^

Importantly, this error gives much more accurate span locations,
pointing to the offending field, rather than the entire macro
invocation.

Rewrite the attribute macro `#[pin_data]` using `syn`. No functional
changes intended aside from improved error messages on syntactic and
semantical errors. For example if one forgets a comma at the end of a
field:

    #[pin_data]
    struct Foo {
        a: Box&lt;Foo&gt;
        b: Box&lt;Foo&gt;
    }

The declarative macro reports the following errors:

    error: expected `,`, or `}`, found `b`
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/pin_data/missing_comma.rs:5:16
      |
    5 |     a: Box&lt;Foo&gt;
      |                ^ help: try adding a comma: `,`

    error: recursion limit reached while expanding `$crate::__pin_data!`
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/pin_data/missing_comma.rs:3:1
      |
    3 | #[pin_data]
      | ^^^^^^^^^^^
      |
      = help: consider increasing the recursion limit by adding a `#![recursion_limit = "256"]` attribute to your crate (`$CRATE`)
      = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::__pin_data` which comes from the expansion of the attribute macro `pin_data` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

The new `syn` version reports:

    error: expected `,`, or `}`, found `b`
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/pin_data/missing_comma.rs:5:16
      |

<content type='text'>
Rewrite the attribute macro for implementing `PinnedDrop` using `syn`.
Otherwise no functional changes intended aside from improved error
messages on syntactic and semantical errors. For example:

When missing the `drop` function in the implementation, the old error
was:

    error: no rules expected `)`
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/pinned_drop/no_fn.rs:6:1
      |
    6 | #[pinned_drop]
      | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no rules expected this token in macro call
      |
    note: while trying to match keyword `fn`
     --&gt; src/macros.rs
      |
      |             fn drop($($sig:tt)*) {
      |             ^^
      = note: this error originates in the attribute macro `pinned_drop` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

And the new one is:

    error[E0046]: not all trait items implemented, missing: `drop`
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/pinned_drop/no_fn.rs:7:1
      |
    7 | impl PinnedDrop for Foo {}
      | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ missing `drop` in implementation
      |
      = help: implement the missing item: `fn drop(self: Pin&lt;&amp;mut Self&gt;, _: OnlyCallFromDrop) { todo!() }`

<id>urn:sha1:50426bde1577d17e61362bd199d487dbeb159110</id>
<content type='text'>
Rewrite the two derive macros for `Zeroable` using `syn`. One positive
side effect of this change is that tuple structs are now supported by
them. Additionally, syntax errors and the error emitted when trying to
use one of the derive macros on an `enum` are improved. Otherwise no
functional changes intended.

For example:

    #[derive(Zeroable)]
    enum Num {
        A(u32),
        B(i32),
    }

Produced this error before this commit:

    error: no rules expected keyword `enum`
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/zeroable/enum.rs:5:1
      |
    5 | enum Num {
      | ^^^^ no rules expected this token in macro call
      |
    note: while trying to match keyword `struct`
     --&gt; src/macros.rs
      |
      |             $vis:vis struct $name:ident
      |                      ^^^^^^

Now the error is:

    error: cannot derive `Zeroable` for an enum
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/zeroable/enum.rs:5:1
      |
    5 | enum Num {
      | ^^^^

    error: cannot derive `Zeroable` for an enum

Rust 1.92.0 warns when building the documentation that [`PinnedDrop`] is
an invalid reference. This is correct and it's weird that it didn't warn
before, so fix the link.

[ The reason is that it is hidden -- I had asked about that in the
  upstream PR that changed the behavior because I wasn't sure it was
  intentional (and thus whether we needed to fix this and other cases):

      https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/147153#issuecomment-3395484636

  It turns out it was not, and it has been fixed for 1.92.0's upcoming
  release thanks to Guillaume and León. So we do not strictly need
  this patch and the other changes anymore:

      https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/147809

  However, checking hidden/private items or, even better, a runtime
  toggle to be able to see those on the fly, is something that I think
  would be quite nice so I have had it in our usual lists for a while.
  Guillaume is open to the idea and perhaps experimenting with an
  implementation on our side first -- he asked me to open issues
  upstream:

      https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/149105
      https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/149106

After initializing a field in an initializer macro, create a variable
holding a reference that points at that field. The type is either
`Pin&lt;&amp;mut T&gt;` or `&amp;mut T` depending on the field's structural pinning
kind.

Make the `#[pin_data]` macro generate a `*Projection` struct that holds
either `Pin&lt;&amp;mut Field&gt;` or `&amp;mut Field` for every field of the original
struct. Which version is chosen depends on weather there is a `#[pin]`
or not respectively. Access to this projected version is enabled through
generating `fn project(self: Pin&lt;&amp;mut Self&gt;) -&gt; SelfProjection&lt;'_&gt;`.

  one - Benno ]

<id>urn:sha1:00fccd3ecc2129ee32fd181079eb643f497044c4</id>
<content type='text'>
This derive macro implements `Zeroable` for structs &amp; unions precisely
if all fields also implement `Zeroable` and does nothing otherwise. The
plain `Zeroable` derive macro instead errors when it cannot derive
`Zeroable` safely. The `MaybeZeroable` derive macro is useful in cases
where manual checking is infeasible such as with the bindings crate.

Move the zeroable generics parsing into a standalone function in order
to avoid code duplication between the two derive macros.
