welp i have no idea what this is. Is this due to smth with cg_clift? do i need to make changes there |

fixed it i think, it was related to the minicores not being updated |

To limit the amount of trait-related magic, I would rather do this:
Suggested change
| unsafe fn drop_in_place(_to_drop: *mut Self); | |
| /// Entrypoint for drop. Called when a value is still live at end of scope | |
| /// if none of its fields have been moved out of. | |
| /// | |
| /// The default implementation calls `Drop::drop` if implemented, | |
| /// then recursively calls `drop_in_place` on each field in order. | |
| #[lang = "destruct_drop_in_place"] | |
| unsafe fn drop_in_place(to_drop: *mut Self) { | |
| core::intrinsics::drop_in_place_shim(to_drop); | |
| } |
and then have the intrinsic be the only thing that's auto-generated.

IMO there isn't much trait magic right now; the resolver simply checks if there are any user impls, and only assembles builtin ones if there aren't any. IMO this indirection would be rather confusing and also might clash with Specialization

I have the opposite intuition: having a method that magically has a body generated for it is not something that exists in rust; only intrinsics do that. And I don't see why this would interact with specialization in any way. Moreover this has the benefit that if someone wants to they can call the auto-generated drop glue.

The person can still invoke Destruct::drop_in_place manually, although it causes smth like a double drop issue.
Hey i was dropped

Hey i was dropped
I'll work on this. If you're talking about having both a custom dtor and the default one, i see very little usecase for that. Maybe that's just my intuition, but i prefer some less indirection, as this approach makes it more obvious how drop is being called (its just a function call, rather than what Drop::drop did, which called ptr::drop_in_place)

I mean if I want to override Destruct::drop_in_place in a way that reuses the default thing, e.g. because you want to call it conditionally. I agree it's probably rare.
its just a function call, rather than what Drop::drop did, which called ptr::drop_in_place
I'm confused: Drop::drop never called ptr::drop_in_place.

For perf reasons I expect we should keep some of this shortcutting. Also whatever's happening with async drop feels important, why is it ok to remove it?

Sure, but why is that ok and why is that useful? Doesn't this return the wrong instance kind in some cases now?

I'm not too familiar with what kinds of instances it can return. I'll look up on that and run the tests to find any regressions

Yeah so there was a bug where it wouldn't rebase the args in this early return. The fix was pretty simple

also i feel like this might actually be a perf regression. can we get a crater perf run or smth?

Why is this early return useful/necessary? Please add a comment explaning its purpose

added a comment for that. its basically to skip some of the rest of the code that deals with dyn Trait overlap and specialization because Destruct is neither object-safe nor does it have any specialization concerns here.
