I borrow some ideas from clang's ABIInfo.h and TargetInfo.cpp.
LLVMType is replaced with ArgType, which is similar to clang's ABIArgInfo,
and I also merge attrs of FnType into it.
Now ABI implementation doesn't need to insert hidden return pointer
to arg_tys of FnType. Instead it is handled in foreign.rs.
This change also fixes LLVM assertion failure when compiling MIPS target.
This is preparation for removing `@fn`.
This does *not* use default methods yet, because I don't know
whether they work. If they do, a forthcoming PR will use them.
This also changes the precedence of `as`.
The free-standing functions in f32, f64, i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16,
u32, u64, float, int, and uint are replaced with generic functions in
num instead.
If you were previously using any of those functions, just replace them
with the corresponding function with the same name in num.
Note: If you were using a function that corresponds to an operator, use
the operator instead.
I removed the `static-method-test.rs` test because it was heavily based
on `BaseIter` and there are plenty of other more complex uses of static
methods anyway.
fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
A struct (inc. tuple struct) can be annotated with #[packed], so that there
is no padding between its elements, like GCC's `__attribute__((packed))`.
Closes#1704
