I made this PR so that cargo expand dumps a less overwhelming amount of formatting-related code.

{
    ::std::io::_print(::core::fmt::Arguments::new_v1(&["rust\n"],
                                                     &match () {

Lol at leftover comments from the original implementation of std::fmt (the ifmt! macro at the time) >8 years ago in ffb670f, which has been obsolete/inaccurate since a year before rust 1.0 (early 2014 — #11585).

I am planning to make Clippy less sensitive to macro changes at some point in the near future (rust-lang/rust-clippy#7843). You might want to hold this until that lands.

Thanks for the PR, @dtolnay! Looks like a really nice simplification. I left a couple of suggestions below.

Is there anything that could go subtly wrong with this? Like hygiene or borrow checking? Should we ask someone with more experience in macro expansion to take a look too?

// we can generate simpler code.
let nicely_ordered = fmt_arg_index_and_ty
.clone()
.is_sorted_by(|(i, _), (j, _)| (i < j).then_some(Ordering::Less));

Yeah, we need to catch permuted as well as repeated elements. Yours is true on 0 0 which would result in an incorrect expansion.

That's very subtle. It would be great if you could add a comment. And maybe find a simpler (if more verbose) way to express this. I personally cannot decode what's going on here in a reasonable amount of time.

array_windows (#75027) may be clearer for this. The sequence has no indices out of order or repeated if: for every adjacent pair of elements, the first one's index is less than the second one's index.

Would it make sense to use a SmallVec for this?

SmallVec<(usize, &ArgumentType)> instead of Iterator<Item = (usize, &ArgumentType)>? I'm not sure why that would be better. Do you think any of the code below would get clearer? We only ever need to iterate it forward.

The sequence would be "cached" on the stack instead of evaluated twice. But I'm fine with keeping this as an iterator either.

Is there anything that could go subtly wrong with this? Like hygiene or borrow checking? Should we ask someone with more experience in macro expansion to take a look too?

From what I know about macros, I do not expect any difference in hygiene or borrow checking between the two expansions.

The only other thing to be mindful of is const promotion. The kind of thing in the following snippet -- even though both macros nominally appear equivalent, only one of them works when a promotion is required. However in the PR we are only going in the direction of can't promote ⟶ can promote so nothing would break, and conversely in format_args nothing relies on promotion anyway because the relevant argument of core::fmt::Arguments::new_v1 is args: &'a [ArgumentV1<'a>], not &'static [ArgumentV1<'a>], so there isn't any case of new code that would work after the PR that didn't work before the PR.

macro_rules! a {
    ($e:expr) => {
        match ($e,) {
            (e,) => &[e],
        }
    };
}

macro_rules! b {
    ($e:expr) => {
        &[$e]
    };
}

fn main() {
    let _: &'static [i32] = a!(1); // fail
    let _: &'static [i32] = b!(1); // ok
}

…, so there isn't any case of new code that would work after the PR that didn't work before the PR.

To elaborate slightly: if core::fmt::ArgumentV1::new were made const fn in the future then this PR would make a difference. It would mean that the following would work whereas it wouldn't before:

let _: core::fmt::Arguments<'static> = format_args!("{}", 1);

where the formatted values are all consts.

Today ArgumentV1::new is not const so the PR doesn't make any code newly compile.

Finished benchmarking commit (3a6b09020f099db8b66b764a71e2ef5608e6c4ea): comparison url.

Summary: This change led to very large relevant mixed results 🤷 in compiler performance.

  • Moderate improvement in instruction counts (up to -2.0% on full builds of cranelift-codegen)
  • Very large regression in instruction counts (up to 7.4% on full builds of keccak)

If you disagree with this performance assessment, please file an issue in rust-lang/rustc-perf.

Benchmarking this pull request likely means that it is perf-sensitive, so we're automatically marking it as not fit for rolling up. While you can manually mark this PR as fit for rollup, we strongly recommend not doing so since this PR led to changes in compiler perf.

Next Steps: If you can justify the regressions found in this try perf run, please indicate this with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged along with sufficient written justification. If you cannot justify the regressions please fix the regressions and do another perf run. If the next run shows neutral or positive results, the label will be automatically removed.

The "x86_64-msvc-1" job timed out during "Testing rustc_macros stage1 (x86_64-pc-windows-msvc -> x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)". All other jobs succeeded. Gonna gamble that this is an infra glitch and not an msvc-specific issue with this PR. We'll find out after the next round.

                                                          _args => [],

Rename _args -> args in format_args expansion

As observed in rust-lang#91359 (comment), prior to that PR this variable was sometimes never used, such as in the case of:

```rust
println!("");

// used to expand to:
::std::io::_print(
    ::core::fmt::Arguments::new_v1(
        &["\n"],
        &match () {
            _args => [],
        },
    ),
);
```

so the leading underscore in `_args` was used to suppress an unused variable lint. However after rust-lang#91359 the variable is always used when present, as the unused case would instead expand to:

```rust
::std::io::_print(::core::fmt::Arguments::new_v1(&["\n"], &[]));
```
