What we now do is to create a region variable for each &
expression (and also each borrow). The lifetime of this
variable will be checked by borrowck to ensure it is not greater
than the lifetime of the underlying data. This both leads to
shorter lifetimes in some cases but also longer in others,
such as taking the address to the interior of unique boxes
tht are rooted in region pointers (e.g., returning a pointer
to the interior of a sendable map).
This may lead to issue #2977 if the rvalue is not POD, because
we may drop the data in trans sooner than borrowck expects us
to. Need to work out precisely where that fix ought to occur.
Previously, resolve was allowing impls, traits or classes that were
nested within a fn to refer to upvars, as well as referring to type
parameters bound by the fn. Fixing this required adding a new kind of
def: def_typaram_binder, which can refer to any of an impl, trait or
class that has bound ty params. resolve uses this to enforce that
methods can refer to their parent item's type parameters, but not to
outer items' type parameters; other stages ignore it. I also made
sure that impl, trait and class methods get checked inside a
MethodRibKind thing so as to forbid upvars, and changed the definition
of MethodRibKind so that its second argument is an optional node_id
(so that required trait method signatures can be checked with a
MethodRibKind as well).
This comes with a terminology change. All linkage-symbols are 'extern'
now, including rust syms in other crates. Some extern ABIs are
merely "foreign". The term "native" is retired, not clear/useful.
What was "crust" is now "extern" applied to a _definition_. This
is a bit of an overloading, but should be unambiguous: it means
that the definition should be made available to some non-rust ABI.
Some code that handles unary and binary exprs' callee IDs was
forgetting to handle the index expr case (since calls to
user-defined index operators also have callee IDs). This was
manifesting as an ICE in trans because when monomorphizing a
function that had one of these operators in it (an index into a
dvec, in the test case), the callee ID would be unbound to a type.
Fixed it. Closes#2631.
