GVN: Don't assume nested shared references are read-only. by dianqk · Pull Request #157346 · rust-lang/rust

dianqk · 2026-06-03T00:39:42Z

Fixes#155884.

#150485 only checks the type, whether it is a reference, which is not enough. The PR extends to other types.

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read:

Benchmarking means the PR may be perf-sensitive. It's automatically marked not fit for rolling up. Overriding is possible but disadvised: it risks changing compiler perf.

Next, please: If you can, justify the regressions found in this try perf run in writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, fix the regressions and do another perf run. Neutral or positive results will clear the label automatically.

+ // DO NOT reason the pointer value that has references.
 // We cannot unify two pointers that dereference same local, because they may
 // have different lifetimes.


This isn't quite grammatical. Maybe you mean "do not reason about ..."? But even then I'm a bit confused about what the comment is trying to say.
This should definitely mention that nested shared references are not read-only and have a link to the issue.

aarch64-apple-macos-26: 2h 27m -> 2h 57m (+20.3%)

How to interpret the job duration changes?

Job durations can vary a lot, based on the actual runner instance
that executed the job, system noise, invalidated caches, etc. The table above is provided
mostly for t-infra members, for simpler debugging of potential CI slow-downs.

Finished benchmarking commit (91fe22d): comparison URL.

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read:

Our benchmarks found a performance regression caused by this PR.
This might be an actual regression, but it can also be just noise.

Next Steps:

If the regression was expected or you think it can be justified,
please write a comment with sufficient written justification, and add
@rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged to it, to mark the regression as triaged.
If you think that you know of a way to resolve the regression, try to create
a new PR with a fix for the regression.
If you do not understand the regression or you think that it is just noise,
you can ask the @rust-lang/wg-compiler-performance working group for help (members of this group
were already notified of this PR).
