Auto merge of #142893 - Mark-Simulacrum:no-const-collect, r=oli-obk

Stop collecting unmentioned constants

This avoids generating useless dead LLVM IR. This appears to have regressed and/or been introduced in rust-lang/rust#53821 (unfortunately a very large PR - I don't see any direct discussion there of this particular change), but as far as I can tell is at least no longer necessary -- or we lack test coverage -- because none of our UI tests indicate diagnostics regressions. The adjusted codegen-units test has comments explicitly noting that these items should *not* be collected ("These are not referenced, so they do not produce mono-items").

I noticed this while looking at libcore LLVM IR we generate, which contained dead code references to the NOOP Waker item, which is never used inside libcore. Producing LLVM IR for it during libcore's compilation, only for that IR to get deleted by LLVM as unused, isn't useful. Note that the IR is generally all marked internal, too.

Website | Getting started | Learn | Documentation | Contributing

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
