1//! The Rust Linkage Model and Symbol Names
2//! =======================================
3//!
4//! The semantic model of Rust linkage is, broadly, that "there's no global
5//! namespace" between crates. Our aim is to preserve the illusion of this
6//! model despite the fact that it's not *quite* possible to implement on
7//! modern linkers. We initially didn't use system linkers at all, but have
8//! been convinced of their utility.
9//!
10//! There are a few issues to handle:
11//!
12//! - Linkers operate on a flat namespace, so we have to flatten names.
13//! We do this using the C++ namespace-mangling technique. Foo::bar
14//! symbols and such.
15//!
16//! - Symbols for distinct items with the same *name* need to get different
17//! linkage-names. Examples of this are monomorphizations of functions or
18//! items within anonymous scopes that end up having the same path.
19//!
20//! - Symbols in different crates but with same names "within" the crate need
21//! to get different linkage-names.
22//!
23//! - Symbol names should be deterministic: Two consecutive runs of the
24//! compiler over the same code base should produce the same symbol names for
25//! the same items.
26//!
27//! - Symbol names should not depend on any global properties of the code base,
28//! so that small modifications to the code base do not result in all symbols
29//! changing. In previous versions of the compiler, symbol names incorporated
30//! the SVH (Stable Version Hash) of the crate. This scheme turned out to be
31//! infeasible when used in conjunction with incremental compilation because
32//! small code changes would invalidate all symbols generated previously.
33//!
34//! - Even symbols from different versions of the same crate should be able to
35//! live next to each other without conflict.
36//!
37//! In order to fulfill the above requirements the following scheme is used by
38//! the compiler:
39//!
40//! The main tool for avoiding naming conflicts is the incorporation of a 64-bit
41//! hash value into every exported symbol name. Anything that makes a difference
42//! to the symbol being named, but does not show up in the regular path needs to
43//! be fed into this hash:
44//!
45//! - Different monomorphizations of the same item have the same path but differ
46//! in their concrete type parameters, so these parameters are part of the
47//! data being digested for the symbol hash.
48//!
49//! - Rust allows items to be defined in anonymous scopes, such as in
50//! `fn foo() { { fn bar() {} } { fn bar() {} } }`. Both `bar` functions have
51//! the path `foo::bar`, since the anonymous scopes do not contribute to the
52//! path of an item. The compiler already handles this case via so-called
53//! disambiguating `DefPaths` which use indices to distinguish items with the
54//! same name. The DefPaths of the functions above are thus `foo[0]::bar[0]`
55//! and `foo[0]::bar[1]`. In order to incorporate this disambiguation
56//! information into the symbol name too, these indices are fed into the
57//! symbol hash, so that the above two symbols would end up with different
58//! hash values.
59//!
60//! The two measures described above suffice to avoid intra-crate conflicts. In
61//! order to also avoid inter-crate conflicts two more measures are taken:
62//!
63//! - The name of the crate containing the symbol is prepended to the symbol
64//! name, i.e., symbols are "crate qualified". For example, a function `foo` in
65//! module `bar` in crate `baz` would get a symbol name like
66//! `baz::bar::foo::{hash}` instead of just `bar::foo::{hash}`. This avoids
67//! simple conflicts between functions from different crates.
68//!
69//! - In order to be able to also use symbols from two versions of the same
70//! crate (which naturally also have the same name), a stronger measure is
71//! required: The compiler accepts an arbitrary "disambiguator" value via the
72//! `-C metadata` command-line argument. This disambiguator is then fed into
73//! the symbol hash of every exported item. Consequently, the symbols in two
74//! identical crates but with different disambiguators are not in conflict
75//! with each other. This facility is mainly intended to be used by build
76//! tools like Cargo.
77//!
78//! A note on symbol name stability
79//! -------------------------------
80//! Previous versions of the compiler resorted to feeding NodeIds into the
81//! symbol hash in order to disambiguate between items with the same path. The
82//! current version of the name generation algorithm takes great care not to do
83//! that, since NodeIds are notoriously unstable: A small change to the
84//! code base will offset all NodeIds after the change and thus, much as using
85//! the SVH in the hash, invalidate an unbounded number of symbol names. This
86//! makes re-using previously compiled code for incremental compilation
87//! virtually impossible. Thus, symbol hash generation exclusively relies on
88//! DefPaths which are much more robust in the face of changes to the code base.
