r? @pnkfelix or @joshtriplett perhaps? I would need to re-investigate the (long) discussion threads to page back in what drop order we want to make sure these tests are validating intended behavior. |

@Mark-Simulacrum note that the temporary drop order tests added by this PR will soon change in their output when #99518 merges. So the output this PR currently enforces is not what we want. I opened this PR to get it tracked in the test suite at all. Depending on which PR gets merged first, either I have to change the output in this PR, or #99518 has to upon rebase. That PR adds its own small drop order test, but the one my PR adds is more comprehensive and is likely what @pnkfelix wanted when they made their comment I've linked above. Also, as an update, given that #99518 was opened and it adds tests for #93951, I've removed the regression test from this PR. |

All this printing seems excessive. I think it's better to decide what behavior we want to assert, and find a way to write a test that panics if that behavior doesn't happen.

That test checks a bunch of constructs and what their drop order is. The drop order actually differs for let else
depending on what the input is, and according to #87335 (comment) , it's in fact intentional. Obviously we want to test the drop order for various ways to do let else
especially as it's been asked for (see PR description).
For the other constructs, I haven't found a single test in the test suite ensuring their temporary drop order. I think having one test that checks it for all the conditional constructs is helpful, e.g. when the implementation is changed and drop order changes for say if
, then it would be useful to know that, even if such a change is intentional.
I'm not sure that a panic based design is going to be better than a stdout based design. tests asserting stdout output are rare in the testsuite but this seems like the ideal candidate to me: you need to have some kind of global state and in #99518, atomics were used, and earlier versions used thread locals, but their management added lots of noise to the test file.

I don't think that is a good way to characterize the behavior. I would say, for let <pat> = <init> else { .. }
, the temporaries in <init
> are always dropped immediately after <init>
executes.
For the other constructs,
If we really need tests for other constructs, then it shouldn't be in the let-else folder.
I'm not sure that a panic based design is going to be better than a stdout based design.
I think stdout-based tests are rare because it's a more indirect, less self-contained approach. Panics are easier to reason about. You can use Rc
instead of atomics or thread locals, it is very minimal.
Anyways it's up to the reviewer. Just adding my two cents.

I would say, for let = else { .. }, the temporaries in are always dropped immediately after executes.
You can't drop the temporaries in the instance of let &Droppy(d) = &Droppy(foo())
, because d
is not moved out of Droppy but still lives "inside" it, and may still be used in the "if" block.
If we really need tests for other constructs, then it shouldn't be in the let-else folder.
Feel free to suggest a different folder!

If Droppy
is part of the pattern then I don't think it is a temporary since the value is moved to the pattern. I don't think the d
is relevant. It's a Copy
type.

Droppy

type.
It is both part of the pattern and the temporary construction. &Droppy(foo())
creates a temporary on the stack via the expression Droppy(foo())
. It then builds a reference to it. The reference means that the insides of the temporary can't be moved, which is what makes it live longer. This reference is then used for the pattern matching, which takes a pointer to the contained d
and makes it accessible as a new binding. In theory as d
is copy it could just be copied over to a new location and a new reference built to it, but this isn't neccessarily faster even because d
might be a really big type (despite being copy). Anyways, I'm not arguing in favor or against this optimization, all I'm saying is that in this instance, the temporary isn't immediately dropped, and if it were, accessing the reference to d
would be a use after free issue, so pretty serious stuff. In theory the MIR borrow checker and if that one doesn't, MIRI, should catch this but it's better to be safe and have a test for the drop order.

Anyways, if
doesn't need to care about access inside the block, so it always just drops the temporary early, even if it's a &
one. And if let
is in the same situation as let else
but it always post-drops probably because this distinction wasn't done in the past. Actually testing for this makes total sense IMO.

@camsteffen I hope this settles your concerns that my test is excessive 😂 : #98672 (comment)
I've moved the regression tests from this PR to #100443 as the drop order tests seem to contain more discussion than expected. |
…=Mark-Simulacrum Add two let else regression tests Adds a regression test for rust-lang#94176, as it was fixed by rust-lang#98574 but doesn't have a regression test. The PR also incorporates a commit from rust-lang#94012 which added a test for an issue discovered in that PR. Originally they have been part of rust-lang#99291, but I've moved them out in the hopes of getting them merged more quickly, as that PR is already open since a month, and so that rust-lang#99291 can focus on the drop order part of things.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but currently none of these cases "differ" between the then
case and then else
case, right? In the sense that if you put these two halves side-by-side, the "I dropped" would all be aligned.
I'm wondering whether there's any value in revising the presentation to make that immediate, by actually have the textual output be two columns... (Its telling that in the current presentation, the answer to my question isn't immediately obvious, and I suspect if a bug arose that caused that property to be violated, it would be less likely to be caught in review given the current presentation of this test output...)

There were differences back when I filed my PR. I've just checked out a nightly from july 15 when I filed it, and got this:
let else:
else body
I dropped
But now you are correct, it's all the same in the match and mismatch case.
As for changes in the layout, I really like how this (now outdated) table turned out: #87335 (comment) . side by side view is really nice indeed :)

…op order The drop order of let and let else is supposed to be the same, and in order to ensure this, the test checks that this holds for the given list of cases. The test also ensures that we drop the temporaries of the condition before executing the else block. We made the test matrix based so it can check all the possible combinations and find out possible edge cases.

…plett Stabilize `let else` :tada: **Stabilizes the `let else` feature, added by [RFC 3137](rust-lang/rfcs#3137 🎉 Reference PR: rust-lang/reference#1156 closes rust-lang#87335 (`let else` tracking issue) FCP: rust-lang#93628 (comment) ---------- ## Stabilization report ### Summary The feature allows refutable patterns in `let` statements if the expression is followed by a diverging `else`: ```Rust fn get_count_item(s: &str) -> (u64, &str) { let mut it = s.split(' '); let (Some(count_str), Some(item)) = (it.next(), it.next()) else { panic!("Can't segment count item pair: '{s}'"); }; let Ok(count) = u64::from_str(count_str) else { panic!("Can't parse integer: '{count_str}'"); }; (count, item) } assert_eq!(get_count_item("3 chairs"), (3, "chairs")); ``` ### Differences from the RFC / Desugaring Outside of desugaring I'm not aware of any differences between the implementation and the RFC. The chosen desugaring has been changed from the RFC's [original](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3137-let-else.html#reference-level-explanations). You can read a detailed discussion of the implementation history of it in `@cormacrelf` 's [summary](rust-lang#93628 (comment)) in this thread, as well as the [followup](rust-lang#93628 (comment)). Since that followup, further changes have happened to the desugaring, in rust-lang#98574, rust-lang#99518, rust-lang#99954. The later changes were mostly about the drop order: On match, temporaries drop in the same order as they would for a `let` declaration. On mismatch, temporaries drop before the `else` block. ### Test cases In chronological order as they were merged.

As it was stabilized, destructuring assignment only allows *irrefutable* patterns, which before the advent of `let else` were the only patterns that `let` supported. So the combination of `let else` and destructuring assignments gives reason to think about extensions of the destructuring assignments feature that allow refutable patterns, discussed in rust-lang#93995. A naive mapping of `let else` to destructuring assignments in the form of `Some(v) = foo() else { ... };` might not be the ideal way. `let else` needs a diverging `else` clause as it introduces new bindings, while assignments have a default behaviour to fall back to if the pattern does not match, in the form of not performing the assignment. Thus, there is no good case to require divergence, or even an `else` clause at all, beyond the need for having *some* introducer syntax so that it is clear to readers that the assignment is not a given (enums and structs look similar). There are better candidates for introducer syntax however than an empty `else {}` clause, like `maybe` which could be added as a keyword on an edition boundary: ```Rust let mut v = 0; maybe Some(v) = foo(&v); maybe Some(v) = foo(&v) else { bar() }; ``` Further design discussion is left to an RFC, or the linked issue.
…plett Stabilize `let else` :tada: **Stabilizes the `let else` feature, added by [RFC 3137](rust-lang/rfcs#3137 🎉 Reference PR: rust-lang/reference#1156 closes rust-lang#87335 (`let else` tracking issue) FCP: rust-lang#93628 (comment) ---------- ## Stabilization report ### Summary The feature allows refutable patterns in `let` statements if the expression is followed by a diverging `else`: ```Rust fn get_count_item(s: &str) -> (u64, &str) { let mut it = s.split(' '); let (Some(count_str), Some(item)) = (it.next(), it.next()) else { panic!("Can't segment count item pair: '{s}'"); }; let Ok(count) = u64::from_str(count_str) else { panic!("Can't parse integer: '{count_str}'"); }; (count, item) } assert_eq!(get_count_item("3 chairs"), (3, "chairs")); ``` ### Differences from the RFC / Desugaring Outside of desugaring I'm not aware of any differences between the implementation and the RFC. The chosen desugaring has been changed from the RFC's [original](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3137-let-else.html#reference-level-explanations). You can read a detailed discussion of the implementation history of it in `@cormacrelf` 's [summary](rust-lang#93628 (comment)) in this thread, as well as the [followup](rust-lang#93628 (comment)). Since that followup, further changes have happened to the desugaring, in rust-lang#98574, rust-lang#99518, rust-lang#99954. The later changes were mostly about the drop order: On match, temporaries drop in the same order as they would for a `let` declaration. On mismatch, temporaries drop before the `else` block. ### Test cases In chronological order as they were merged. Added by df9a2e0 (rust-lang#87688): * [`ui/pattern/usefulness/top-level-alternation.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/1.58.1/src/test/ui/pattern/usefulness/top-level-alternation.rs) to ensure the unreachable pattern lint visits patterns inside `let else`.

As it was stabilized, destructuring assignment only allows *irrefutable* patterns, which before the advent of `let else` were the only patterns that `let` supported. So the combination of `let else` and destructuring assignments gives reason to think about extensions of the destructuring assignments feature that allow refutable patterns, discussed in rust-lang#93995. A naive mapping of `let else` to destructuring assignments in the form of `Some(v) = foo() else { ... };` might not be the ideal way. `let else` needs a diverging `else` clause as it introduces new bindings, while assignments have a default behaviour to fall back to if the pattern does not match, in the form of not performing the assignment. Thus, there is no good case to require divergence, or even an `else` clause at all, beyond the need for having *some* introducer syntax so that it is clear to readers that the assignment is not a given (enums and structs look similar). There are better candidates for introducer syntax however than an empty `else {}` clause, like `maybe` which could be added as a keyword on an edition boundary: ```Rust let mut v = 0; maybe Some(v) = foo(&v); maybe Some(v) = foo(&v) else { bar() }; ``` Further design discussion is left to an RFC, or the linked issue.
Add a systematic matrix based test that checks temporary drop order in various settings,
let-else-drop-order.rs
, as requested here.The drop order of let and let else is supposed to be the and in order to ensure this, the test checks that this holds for a number of cases.
The test also ensures that we drop the temporaries of the condition before executing the else block.
