- Remove highlighting of ``L"..."`` (obsolete syntax)
- Remove backslash at end of line being a line continuation always
(obsolete syntax; this only affects comments, actually)
- Add highlighting for backslash at end of line and leading whitespace
on the following line inside a string (a genuine line continuation)
Storing the type name in the `tydesc` aims to avoid the need to pass a type name in almost every single visitor method.
It would likely be much saner for `repr` to simply be passed the `TyDesc` corresponding to the function or just the type name, but this is good enough for now.
The message of the first commit explains (edited for changed trait name):
The trait `ExactSize` is introduced to solve a few small niggles:
* We can't reverse (`.invert()`) an enumeration iterator
* for a vector, we have `v.iter().position(f)` but `v.rposition(f)`.
* We can't reverse `Zip` even if both iterators are from vectors
`ExactSize` is an empty trait that is intended to indicate that an
iterator, for example `VecIterator`, knows its exact finite size and
reports it correctly using `.size_hint()`. Only adaptors that preserve
this at all times, can expose this trait further. (Where here we say
finite for fitting in uint).
---
It may seem complicated just to solve these small "niggles",
(It's really the reversible enumerate case that's the most interesting)
but only a few core iterators need to implement this trait.
While we gain more capabilities generically for some iterators,
it becomes a tad more complicated to figure out if a type has
the right trait impls for it.
Fix#8468. (Though the right answer in the end, as noted on the dialogue on the ticket, might be to just require trait methods to name their parameters, regardless of whether they have a default method implementation or not.)
I think this fixes 8898. I'm a bit unsure about how slices and owned pointers to vectors-of-unit already worked, but since they were already working, I didn't mess with them.
Address discussion with acrichto; inherit DoubleEndedIterator so that
`.rposition()` can be a default method, and that the nische of the trait
is clear. Use assertions when using `.size_hint()` in reverse enumerate
and `.rposition()`
In this commit I:
- removed unneeded heap allocations
- added extra whitespace to crowded expressions
- and removed unneeded syntax
Also, CC @bblum although this change is fairly unobjectionable.
