src/comp/syntax is currently just a sub-module of rustc, but it will,
in the near future, be its own crate. This includes:
- The AST data structure
- The parser
- The pretty-printer
- Visit, walk, and fold
- The syntax extension system
- Some utility stuff that should be in the stdlib*
*) Stdlib extensions currently require a snapshot before they can be
used, and the win build is very broken right now. This is temporary
and will be cleaned up when one of those problems goes away.
A lot of code was moved by this patch, mostly towards a more organized
layout. Some package paths did get longer, and I guess the new layout
will take some getting used to. Sorry about that!
Please try not to re-introduce any dependencies in syntax/ on any of
the other src/comp/ subdirs.
This way, the pretty-printer does not have to know about middle::ty.
(This is a preparation for separating the AST functionality into a
separate crate.)
The parser needs to parse unconfigured items into the AST so that they can
make the round trip back through the pretty printer, but subsequent passes
shouldn't care about items not being translated. Running a fold pass after
parsing is the lowest-impact way to make this work. The performance seems
fine.
Issue #489
Instead of linking directly to the rust crate, try to figure out the location
and name of the library from the file name, then call gcc with appropriate -L,
-l flags. This will allow dynamic linking to be more forgiving about where it
loads the library from at runtime - currently a stage3 compiler can't run
correctly from the stage0 directory. Only tested on Linux. Fingers crossed.
Implement "claim" (issue #14), which is a version of "check" that
doesn't really do the check at runtime. It's an unsafe feature.
The new flag --check-claims turns claims into checks automatically --
but it's off by default, so by default, the assertion in a claim
doesn't execute at runtime.
This will replace the various node_id-to-node mappings done in several
other passes. This commit already uses the new map in resolve, dropping
the ast_map that was built there before.
This reduces some redundancy in the AST data structures and cruft in
the code that works with them. To get a def_id from a node_id, apply
ast::local_def, which adds the local crate_num to the given node_id.
Most code only deals with crate-local node_ids, and won't have to
create def_ids at all.
These errors are non-fatal. The session.abort_if_errors function needs to be
called at strategic points to convert the previous errors to utter failure.

Issue #440
I added a "resolved" version of the ast::constr type -- ty::constr_def
-- that has a def_id field instead of an ann_field. This is more
consistent with other types and eliminates some checking.
Incidentally, I removed the def_map argument to the top-level function
in middle::alias, since the ty::ctxt already has a def_map field.
