Remove `-Zdump-mir-spanview` The `-Zdump-mir-spanview` flag was added back in #76074, as a development/debugging aid for the initial work on what would eventually become `-Cinstrument-coverage`. It causes the compiler to emit an HTML file containing a function's source code, with various spans highlighted based on the contents of MIR. When the suggestion was made to [triage and remove unnecessary `-Z` flags (Zulip)](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/.60-Z.60.20option.20triage), I noted that this flag could potentially be worth removing, but I wanted to keep it around to see whether I found it useful for my own coverage work. But when I actually tried to use it, I ran into various issues (e.g. it crashes on `tests/coverage/closure.rs`). If I can't trust it to work properly without a full overhaul, then instead of diving down a rabbit hole of trying to fix arcane span-handling bugs, it seems better to just remove this obscure old code entirely. --- ````@rustbot```` label +A-code-coverage |
