They've been deprecated for four years.
This commit includes the following changes.
- It eliminates the `rustc_plugin_impl` crate.
- It changes the language used for lints in
`compiler/rustc_driver_impl/src/lib.rs` and
`compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs`. External lints are now called
"loaded" lints, rather than "plugins" to avoid confusion with the old
plugins. This only has a tiny effect on the output of `-W help`.
- E0457 and E0498 are no longer used.
- E0463 is narrowed, now only relating to unfound crates, not plugins.
- The `plugin` feature was moved from "active" to "removed".
- It removes the entire plugins chapter from the unstable book.
- It removes quite a few tests, mostly all of those in
`tests/ui-fulldeps/plugin/`.
Closes#29597.
Previously we would show this:
```
warning: unnecessary braces around block return value
--> /tmp/bad.rs:1:8
|
1 | fn a(){{{
| ^ ^
|
= note: `#[warn(unused_braces)]` on by default
help: remove these braces
|
1 - fn a(){{{
1 + fn a(){{
|
```
which is now hidden in this case.
We would create a span spanning between the pair of redundant {}s but there is only EOF instead of the `}` so we would previously point at nothing.
This would cause the debug assertion ice to trigger.
I would have loved to just only point at the second delim and say "you can remove that" but I'm not sure how to do that without refactoring the entire diagnostic which seems tricky. :(
But given that this does not seem to regress any other tests we have, I think this edge-casey enough be acceptable.
