I think it's WIP - but I wanted to ask for feedback (/cc @thestinger)
I had to move the impl of FromIter for vec into extra::iter because I don't think std can depend on extra, but that's a bit messed up. Similarly some FromIter uses are gone now, not sure if this is fixable or if I made a complete mess here..
common supertypes.
This was breaking with the change to regions because of the
(now incorrect) assumpton that our inference code makes,
which is that if a <: b succeeds, there is no need to compute
the LUB/GLB.
This patch makes error handling for region inference failures more
uniform by not reporting *any* region errors until the reigon inference
step. This requires threading through more information about what
caused a region constraint, so that we can still give informative
error messages.
I have only taken partial advantage of this information: when region
inference fails, we still report the same error we always did, despite
the fact that we now know precisely what caused the various constriants
and what the region variable represents, which we did not know before.
This change is required not only to improve error messages but
because the region hierarchy is not in fact fully known until regionck,
because it is not clear where closure bodies fit in (our current
treatment is unsound). Moreover, the relationships between free variables
cannot be fully determined until type inference is otherwise complete.
cc #3238.
@catamorphism, this re-enables threadsafe rustpkg tests, @brson this will fail unless the bots have LLVM rebuilt, so this is a good indicator of whether that happened or not.
Continuation of #7430.
I haven't removed the `map` method, since the replacement `v.iter().transform(f).collect::<~[SomeType]>()` is a little ridiculous at the moment.
With these changes, exchange allocator headers are never initialized, read or written to. Removing the header will now just involve updating the code in trans using an offset to only do it if the type contained is managed.
The only thing blocking removing the initialization of the last field in the header was ~fn since it uses it to store the dynamic size/types due to captures. I temporarily switched it to a `closure_exchange_alloc` lang item (it uses the same `exchange_free`) and #7496 is filed about removing that.
Since the `exchange_free` call is now inlined all over the codebase, I don't think we should have an assert for null. It doesn't currently ever happen, but it would be fine if we started generating code that did do it. The `exchange_free` function also had a comment declaring that it must not fail, but a regular assert would cause a failure. I also removed the atomic counter because valgrind can already find these leaks, and we have valgrind bots now.
Note that exchange free does not currently print an error an out-of-memory when it aborts, because our `io` code may allocate. We could probably get away with a `#[rust_stack]` call to a `stdio` function but it would be better to make a write system call.
Currently we pass all "self" arguments by reference, for the pointer
variants this means that we end up with double indirection which causes
a unnecessary performance hit.
The fix itself is pretty straight-forward and just means that "self"
needs to be handled like any other argument, except for by-value "self"
which still needs to be passed by reference. This is because
non-pointer types can't just be stuffed into the environment slot which
is used to pass "self".
What made things tricky is that there was also a bug in the typechecker
where the method map entries are created. For type impls, that stored
the base type instead of the actual self-type in the method map, e.g.
Foo instead of &Foo for &self. That worked with pass-by-reference, but
fails with pass-by-value which needs the real type.
Code that makes use of methods seems to be about 10% faster with this
change. Also, build times are reduced by about 4%.

The code that tried to revoke the cleanup for the self argument tried
to use "llself" to do so, but the cleanup might actually be registered
with a different ValueRef due to e.g. casting. Currently, this is
worked around by early revocation of the cleanup for self in
trans_self_arg.
To handle this correctly, we have to put the ValueRef for the cleanup
into the MethodData, so trans_call_inner can use it to revoke the
cleanup when it's actually supposed to.
"self" is always passed as an opaque box, so there's no point in using
the concrete self type when translating the argument. All it does it
causing the value to be casted back to an opaque box right away.
The commit f9a5453 is meant to be a temporary hold-over. Whether or not there is added a way for the compiler to "implicitly borrow" stack closures in this way, there should be a codegen optimization that prevents having to traverse possibly-very-many function pointers to find the function you ultimately wanted to call. I tried to separate out the changes so this particular commit could be straight-up reverted if auto-borrowing happens in the future.

@graydon suggested that once closures not be part of the language for 1.0, but that they might be hidden behind a -Z compile flag as an "experimental feature" in case people decide they need them.
Regardless of whether ```-Z once-fns``` is set, this PR will parse the ```once``` keyword and will prevent closures labelled with it from being called more than once. It will also permit moving out of captured vars in heap closures, just to let the runtime writers stop using ```Cell``` sooner. Setting ```-Z once-fns``` only toggles whether the move-out-from-capture privilege is also given for stack closures.
r? @nikomatsakis
This fixes a bunch of default method bugs and restructures how vtable resolutions are represented.
(It also adds a depth counter to llvm::type_to_str as a hacky work around for our circular llvm types. This is related in the sense that I needed to do it to make debug tracing not cause rustc to crash after running out of stack space.)
Instead of determining paths from the path tag, we iterate through
modules' children recursively in the metadata. This will allow for
lazy external module resolution.
This removes the `namegen` thunk that was in `common.rs`. I also take the opportunity to refactor a few uses where we had a `str -> ident -> str` chain that seemed somewhat redundant to me.
Also cleans up some warnings that made their way in already.
Mostly just low-haning fruit, i.e. function arguments that were @ even

This allows macros to both be conditionally defined, and expand
to items with #[cfg]'s.
This seems to have a performance improvement, e.g. for `std`:
```
# Before
time: 1.660 s expansion
time: 0.125 s configuration
# After
time: 0.080 s configuration 1
time: 1.127 s expansion
time: 0.132 s configuration 2
```
And for `extra`:
```
# Before
time: 0.593 s expansion
time: 0.062 s configuration
# After
time: 0.047 s configuration 1
time: 0.147 s expansion
time: 0.058 s configuration 2
```
(This seems a little peculiar, but it is possibly because the expansion AST traversal is very slow, so removing as much as possible as early as possible has big benefits.)
This PR contains no real code changes. Just some documentation additions in the form of comments and some internal reordering of functions within debuginfo.rs.

Fix#7322.
I started out with a band-aid approach to special-case the duplicate module error using `is_duplicate_module`, but thought this would be better in the long term.
The "first definition of ..." error string reported by add_child() looks
different from similar messages reported by other functions. Fix this.
Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com>
add_child() is responsible for reporting errors about type, value, and
module duplicate definitions. Although it checks for all three, it uses
namespace_to_str() to convert a Namespace value into a string before
printing an error like:
error: duplicate definition of type `foo`
^^^^
note: first definition of type foo here:
^^^^
Unfortunately, this string can only be one of "type" or
"value" (corresponding to TypeNS and ValueNS respectively), and it
reports duplicate modules as duplicate types.
To alleviate the problem, define a special NamespaceError enum to define
more specialized errors, and use it instead of attempting to reuse the
Namespace enum.

This adds a `#[no_drop_flag]` attribute. This attribute tells the compiler to omit the drop flag from the struct, if it has a destructor. When the destructor is run, instead of setting the drop flag, it instead zeroes-out the struct. This means the destructor can run multiple times and therefore it is up to the developer to use it safely.
The primary usage case for this is smart-pointer types like `Rc<T>` as the extra flag caused the struct to be 1 word larger because of alignment.
This closes#7271 and #7138
This sets the `get_tydesc()` return type correctly and removes the intrinsic module. See #3730, #3475.
Update: this now also removes the unused shape fields in tydescs.
This adds both `static mut` items and `static mut` foreign items. This involved changing far less code than I thought it was going to, but the tests seem to pass and the variables seem functional.
I'm more than willing to write more tests, so suggestions are welcome!
Closes#553
the `test/run-pass/class-trait-bounded-param.rs` test was xfailed and
written in an ancient dialect of Rust so I've just removed it
this also removes `to_vec` from DList because it's provided by
`std::iter::to_vec`
an Iterator implementation is added for OptVec but some transitional
internal iterator methods are still left
To achieve this, the following changes were made:
* Move TyDesc, TyVisitor and Opaque to std::unstable::intrinsics
* Convert TyDesc, TyVisitor and Opaque to lang items instead of specially
handling the intrinsics module
* Removed TypeDesc, FreeGlue and get_type_desc() from sys
Fixes#3475.
This fixes part of #3730, but not all.
Also changes the TyDesc struct to be equivalent with the generated
code, with the hope that the above issue may one day be closed for good,
i.e. that the TyDesc type can completely be specified in the Rust
sources and not be generated.
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.
The only really tricky change is that a long chain of ifs, and elses
was turned into a single if, and a match in astencode.rs. Some methods
can only be called in certain cases, and so have to come after the if.
This is another big refactoring of `trans` though this is unlikely to have much of an
impact on code size or speed.
The major change here is the implementation of a `Type` struct which is the new
home for all your LLVM `TypeRef` needs. It's a simple wrapper struct, with static
methods for constructing types, then regular methods for
manipulating/interrogating them. The purpose of this is mostly to make the code
surrounding them somewhat more ideomatic. A line like: `T_ptr(T_ptr(T_i8()))` is
now `Type::i8().ptr_to().ptr_to()`,which is much more like regular Rust code.
There are a variety of smaller changes here and there:
* Remove address spaces. At least it doesn't generate them, I haven't spent much
time looking for related code.
* Use a macro for declaring the LLVM intrinsics, makes it look much nicer.
* Make the type for a string slice actually create a named `str_slice` type in LLVM,
this makes reading the appropriate code much easier.
* Change the way struct and enum type names are generated. This just means
that a struct like `struct Foo { a: int }` now produces the IR
`%struct.Foo = type { i64 }`, which is much easier to read. Similarly, other structs
are a bit tighter to make it easier to read.

This PR did get away from me a little, as I occasionally got distracted or as I fixed
up problems with unrelated code that were stopping me from continuing. One major
thing is that this PR contains the work from #7168, since that would have conflicted
with this and it was broken anyway. Sorry for bundling it like this.
Fixes#3670 and #7063
--- --- ---
EDIT: This no longer removes the llvm insn stats.
This makes the handling of atomic operations more generic, which
does impose a specific naming convention for the intrinsics, but
that seems ok with me, rather than having an individual case for
each name.
It also adds the intrinsics to the the intrinsics file.
The changes in these commits improve the IR codegen by removing unnecessary copies for certain function call arguments and stopping to allocate return values for functions returning nil. They reduce compile times by about 10% in total.
By using "void" instead of "{}" as the LLVM type for nil, we can avoid
the alloca/store/load sequence for the return value, resulting in less
and simpler IR code.
This reduces compile times by about 10%.
The removed test for issue #2611 is well covered by the `std::iterator`
module itself.
This adds the `count` method to `IteratorUtil` to replace `EqIter`.
This fixes the large number of problems that prevented cross crate
methods from ever working. It also fixes a couple lingering bugs with
polymorphic default methods and cleans up some of the code paths.

Currently, by-copy function arguments are always stored into a scratch
datum, which serves two purposes. First, it is required to be able to
have a temporary cleanup, in case that the call fails before the callee
actually takes ownership of the value. Second, if the argument is to be
passed by reference, the copy is required, so that the function doesn't
get a reference to the original value.
But in case that the datum does not need a drop glue call and it is
passed by value, there's no need to perform the extra copy.
This commit fixes rustc's debug info generation and turns debug-info tests back on.
The old generator used to write out LLVM metadata directly, however it seems that debug metadata format is not stable and keeps changing from release to release. So I wrapped LLVM's official debug info API - the DIBuilder class, and now rustc will use that.
One bit of old functionality that still doesn't work, is debug info for function arguments. Someone more familiar with the compiler guts will need to look into that.
Also, unfortunately, debug info is still won't work on Windows,- due to a LLVM bug (http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=16249).

Currently, cleanup blocks are only reused when there are nested scopes, the
child scope's cleanup block will terminate with a jump to the parent
scope's cleanup block. But within a single scope, adding or revoking
any cleanup will force a fresh cleanup block. This means quadratic
growth with the number of allocations in a scope, because each
allocation needs a landing pad.
Instead of forcing a fresh cleanup block, we can keep a list chained
cleanup blocks that form a prefix of the currently required cleanups.
That way, the next cleanup block only has to handle newly added
cleanups. And by keeping the whole list instead of just the latest
block, we can also handle revocations more efficiently, by only
dropping those blocks that are no longer required, instead of all of
them.
Reduces the size of librustc by about 5% and the time required to build
it by about 10%.

Moves all the remaining functions that could reasonably be methods to be methods, except for some FFI ones (which I believe @erickt is working on, possibly) and `each_split_within`, since I'm not really sure the details of it (I believe @kimundi wrote the current implementation, so maybe he could convert it to an external iterator method on `StrSlice`, e.g. `word_wrap_iter(&self) -> WordWrapIterator<'self>`, where `WordWrapIterator` impls `Iterator<&'self str>`. It probably won't be too hard, since it's already a state machine.)
This also cleans up the comparison impls for the string types, except I'm not sure how the lang items `eq_str` and `eq_str_uniq` need to be handled, so they (`eq_slice` and `eq`) remain stand-alone functions.
This is a bad default, because the binaries will point at an absolute
path regardless of where they are moved. This opens up a security issue
for packages, because they will attempt to load libraries from a path
that's often owned by a regular user.
Every Rust binary is currently flagged by Debian, Fedora and Arch lint
checkers as having dangerous rpaths. They don't meet the requirements to
be placed in the repositories without manually stripping this from each
binary.
The relative rpath is still enough to keep the binaries working until
they are moved relative to the crates they're linked against.

Remove all the explicit @mut-fields from CrateContext, though many
fields are still @-ptrs.
This required changing every single function call that explicitly
took a @CrateContext, so I took advantage and changed as many as I
could get away with to &-ptrs or &mut ptrs.
Currently, when calling glue functions, we cast the function to match
the argument type. This interacts very badly with LLVM and breaks
inlining of the glue code.
It's more efficient to use a unified function type for the glue
functions and always cast the function argument instead of the function.
The resulting code for rustc is about 13% faster (measured up to and
including the "trans" pass) and the resulting librustc is about 5%
smaller.
