Description
This issue tracks the progress of renaming compiler crates from rustc_xyz to xyz. Each crate will be renamed in a separate PR or in combination with other smaller unrelated crates to avoid conflicts and cause an avalanche of conflicts (such as #74862)
List of compiler/ crates:
- rustc_apfloat -> apfloat
- rustc (this will remain the same and will be renamed if needed at a later stage)
- rustc_arena -> arena
- rustc_ast -> ast
- rustc_ast_lowering -> ast_lowering
- rustc_ast_passes -> ast_passes
- rustc_ast_pretty -> ast_pretty
- rustc_attr -> attr
- rustc_builtin_macros -> builtin_macros
- rustc_codegen_llvm -> codegen_llvm
- rustc_codegen_ssa -> codegen_ssa
- rustc_data_structures -> data_structures
- rustc_driver -> driver
- rustc_error_codes -> error_codes
- rustc_errors -> errors
- rustc_expand -> expand
- rustc_feature -> feature
- rustc_fs_util -> fs_util
- rustc_graphviz -> graphviz
- rustc_hir -> hir
- rustc_hir_pretty -> hir_pretty
- rustc_incremental -> incremental
- rustc_index -> index
- rustc_infer -> infer
- rustc_interface -> interface
- rustc_lexer -> lexer
- rustc_lint -> lint
- rustc_macros -> macros
- rustc_metadata -> metadata
- rustc_middle -> middle
- rustc_mir -> mir
- rustc_mir_build -> mir_build
- rustc_parse -> parse
- rustc_parse_format -> parse_format
- rustc_passes -> passes
- rustc_plugin_impl -> plugin_impl
- rustc_privacy -> privacy
- rustc_query_system -> query_system
- rustc_resolve -> resolve
- rustc_save_analysis -> save_analysis
- rustc_serialize -> serialize
- rustc_session -> session
- rustc_span -> span
- rustc_symbol_mangling -> symbol_mangling
- rustc_target -> target
- rustc_trait_selection -> trait_selection
- rustc_traits -> traits
- rustc_ty -> ty
- rustc_typeck -> typeck

Notes
This will be a long-term effort that will make the structure look inconsistent (some crates will have the prefix while the others won't) till all the crates are renamed
An alternative idea suggested was to rename the paths without renaming the name of the crate (thus keeping the imports same as earlier) but it was concluded that
It would be weird for the crate and directory to have different names; that kind of goes against the objective of making things a bit more idiomatic
If anyone wants to work on this as well, please get in touch first (on zulip if possible) to avoid conflict-hell
