Reduce `ast::ptr::P` to a typedef of `Box` by nnethercote · Pull Request #141603 · rust-lang/rust

nnethercote · 2025-05-26T17:00:57Z

As per the MCP at rust-lang/compiler-team#878.

r? @fee1-dead

These date back to 2014. I don't think they're needed any more.

It's barely used, and the places that use it are better if they don't.

A `Vec` is fine, the additional word (vector vs. boxed slice) doesn't matter here.

It's no longer used.

Overall result: ✅ improvements - no action needed

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 may lead to changes in compiler perf.

Perf effect is somewhere between neutral and slightly improved.

Keep the `P` constructor function for now, to minimize immediate churn. All the `into_inner` calls are removed, which is nice.

            // FIXME: Use an 'if let' guard once they are implemented
-            if let ast::StmtKind::Item(i) = stmt.into_inner().kind {
-                (i, true)
-            } else {

-            }
+            if let ast::StmtKind::Item(i) = stmt.kind { (i, true) } else { unreachable!() }


This can be fixed. I'll do so in a followup.
