Auto merge of #125380 - compiler-errors:wc-obj-safety, r=oli-obk
Make `WHERE_CLAUSES_OBJECT_SAFETY` a regular object safety violation #### The issue In #50781, we have known about unsound `where` clauses in function arguments: ```rust trait Impossible {} trait Foo { fn impossible(&self) where Self: Impossible; } impl Foo for &() { fn impossible(&self) where Self: Impossible, {} } // `where` clause satisfied for the object, meaning that the function now *looks* callable. impl Impossible for dyn Foo {} fn main() { let x: &dyn Foo = &&(); x.impossible(); } ``` ... which currently segfaults at runtime because we try to call a method in the vtable that doesn't exist. :( #### What did u change This PR removes the `WHERE_CLAUSES_OBJECT_SAFETY` lint and instead makes it a regular object safety violation. I choose to make this into a hard error immediately rather than a `deny` because of the time that has passed since this lint was authored, and the single (1) regression (see below). That means that it's OK to mention `where Self: Trait` where clauses in your trait, but making such a trait into a `dyn Trait` object will report an object safety violation just like `where Self: Sized`, etc. ```rust trait Impossible {} trait Foo { fn impossible(&self) where Self: Impossible; // <~ This definition is valid, just not object-safe. } impl Foo for &() { fn impossible(&self) where Self: Impossible, {} } fn main() { let x: &dyn Foo = &&(); // <~ THIS is where we emit an error. } ``` #### Regressions From a recent crater run, there's only one crate that relies on this behavior: rust-lang/rust#124305 (comment). The crate looks unmaintained and there seems to be no dependents. #### Further We may later choose to relax this (e.g. when the where clause is implied by the supertraits of the trait or something), but this is not something I propose to do in this FCP. For example, given: ``` trait Tr { fn f(&self) where Self: Blanket; } impl<T: ?Sized> Blanket for T {} ``` Proving that some placeholder `S` implements `S: Blanket` would be sufficient to prove that the same (blanket) impl applies for both `Concerete: Blanket` and `dyn Trait: Blanket`. Repeating here that I don't think we need to implement this behavior right now. ---- r? lcnr
