Rollup merge of #141947 - zachs18:patch-4, r=workingjubilee,traviscross
Specify that "option-like" enums must be `#[repr(Rust)]` to be ABI-compatible with their non-1ZST field. Add that the enum must be `#[repr(Rust)]` and not `#[repr(packed)]` or `#[repr(align)]` in order to be ABI-compatible with its null-pointer-optimized field. The specific rules here were decided on here: rust-lang/rust#130628 (comment) but `repr` was not mentioned. In practice, only `#[repr(Rust)]` (or no `repr` attribute, which is equivalent) works for this, so add that to the docs. ----- Restrict to `#[repr(Rust)]` only, since: * `#[repr(C)]` and the primitive representations (`#[repr(u8)]` etc) definitely disqualify the enum from NPO, since they have defined layouts that store the tag separately to the payload. * `#[repr(transparent)]` enums are covered two bullet points above this (line 1830), and cannot have multiple variants, so would fail the "The enum has exactly two variants" requirement anyway. As for `#[repr(align)]`: my current wording that it is completely disallowed may be too strong: it seems like `#[repr(align(<= alignment of T))] enum Foo { X, Y(T) }` currently does still have the same ABI as `T` in practice, though this may not be something we want to promise. (`#[repr(align(> alignment of T))]` definitely disqualifies the enum from being ABI-compatible with T currently). I added the note about `packed` to match `align`, but `#[repr(packed)]` currently can't be applied to `enum`s at all anyway, so might be unnecessary. ----- I think this needs T-lang approval? cc ``````@workingjubilee``````
