The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.
[breaking-change]
Code that collects fields in struct-like patterns used to ignore
wildcard patterns like `Foo{_}`. But `enter_defaults` considered
struct-like patterns as default in order to overcome this
(accoring to my understanding of situation).
However such behaviour caused code like this:
```
enum E {
Foo{f: int},
Bar
}
let e = Bar;
match e {
Foo{f: _f} => { /* do something (1) */ }
_ => { /* do something (2) */ }
}
```
consider pattern `Foo{f: _f}` as default. That caused inproper behaviour
and even segfaults while trying to destruct `Bar` as `Foo{f: _f}`.
Issues: #5625 , #5530.
This patch fixes `collect_record_or_struct_fields` to split cases of
single wildcard struct-like pattern and no struct-like pattern at all.
Former case resolved with `enter_rec_or_struct` (and not with
`enter_defaults`).
Closes#5625.
Closes#5530.
