This requires changes to method search and to codegen. We now emit a
vtable for objects that includes methods from all supertraits.
Closes#4100.
Also, actually populate the cache for vtables, and also key it by type
so that it actually works.
to favor inherent methods over extension methods.
The reason to favor inherent methods is that otherwise an impl
like
impl Foo for @Foo { fn method(&self) { self.method() } }
causes infinite recursion. The current change to favor inherent methods is
rather hacky; the method resolution code is in need of a refactoring.
what amount a T* pointer must be adjusted to reach the contents
of the box. For `~T` types, this requires knowing the type `T`,
which is not known in the case of objects.
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
Infers type of constants used as discriminants and ensures they are
integral, instead of forcing them to be a signed integer.
Also, stores discriminant values as uint instead of int interally and
deals with related fallout.
Fixes issue #7994
`crate => Crate`
`local => Local`
`blk => Block`
`crate_num => CrateNum`
`crate_cfg => CrateConfig`
Also, Crate and Local are not wrapped in spanned<T> anymore.
This does a number of things, but especially dramatically reduce the
number of allocations performed for operations involving attributes/
meta items:
- Converts ast::meta_item & ast::attribute and other associated enums
to CamelCase.
- Converts several standalone functions in syntax::attr into methods,
defined on two traits AttrMetaMethods & AttributeMethods. The former
is common to both MetaItem and Attribute since the latter is a thin
wrapper around the former.
- Deletes functions that are unnecessary due to iterators.
- Converts other standalone functions to use iterators and the generic
AttrMetaMethods rather than allocating a lot of new vectors (e.g. the
old code would have to allocate a new vector to use functions that
operated on &[meta_item] on &[attribute].)
- Moves the core algorithm of the #[cfg] matching to syntax::attr,
similar to find_inline_attr and find_linkage_metas.
This doesn't have much of an effect on the speed of #[cfg] stripping,
despite hugely reducing the number of allocations performed; presumably
most of the time is spent in the ast folder rather than doing attribute
checks.
Also fixes the Eq instance of MetaItem_ to correctly ignore spans, so
that `rustc --cfg 'foo(bar)'` now works.
This pull request includes various improvements:
+ Composite types (structs, tuples, boxes, etc) are now handled more cleanly by debuginfo generation. Most notably, field offsets are now extracted directly from LLVM types, as opposed to trying to reconstruct them. This leads to more stable handling of edge cases (e.g. packed structs or structs implementing drop).
+ `debuginfo.rs` in general has seen a major cleanup. This includes better formatting, more readable variable and function names, removal of dead code, and better factoring of functionality.
+ Handling of `VariantInfo` in `ty.rs` has been improved. That is, the `type VariantInfo = @VariantInfo_` typedef has been replaced with explicit uses of @VariantInfo, and the duplicated logic for creating VariantInfo instances in `ty::enum_variants()` and `typeck::check::mod::check_enum_variants()` has been unified into a single constructor function. Both function now look nicer too :)
+ Debug info generation for enum types is now mostly supported. This includes:
+ Good support for C-style enums. Both DWARF and `gdb` know how to handle them.
+ Proper description of tuple- and struct-style enum variants as unions of structs.
+ Proper handling of univariant enums without discriminator field.
+ Unfortunately `gdb` always prints all possible interpretations of a union, so debug output of enums is verbose and unintuitive. Neither `LLVM` nor `gdb` support DWARF's `DW_TAG_variant` which allows to properly describe tagged unions. Adding support for this to `LLVM` seems doable. `gdb` however is another story. In the future we might be able to use `gdb`'s Python scripting support to alleviate this problem. In agreement with @jdm this is not a high priority for now.
+ The debuginfo test suite has been extended with 14 test files including tests for packed structs (with Drop), boxed structs, boxed vecs, vec slices, c-style enums (standalone and embedded), empty enums, tuple- and struct-style enums, and various pointer types to the above.
~~What is not yet included is DI support for some enum edge-cases represented as described in `trans::adt::NullablePointer`.~~
Cheers,
Michael

This is the first of a series of refactorings to get rid of the `codemap::spanned<T>` struct (see this thread for more information: https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-July/004798.html).
The changes in this PR should not change any semantics, just rename `ast::blk_` to `ast::blk` and add a span field to it. 95% of the changes were of the form `block.node.id` -> `block.id`. Only some transformations in `libsyntax::fold` where not entirely trivial.
Whenever a lang_item is required, some relevant message is displayed, often with
a span of what triggered the usage of the lang item.
Now "hello word" is as small as:
```rust
#[no_std];
extern {
fn puts(s: *u8);
}
extern "rust-intrinsic" {
fn transmute<T, U>(t: T) -> U;
}
#[start]
fn main(_: int, _: **u8, _: *u8) -> int {
unsafe {
let (ptr, _): (*u8, uint) = transmute("Hello!");
puts(ptr);
}
return 0;
}
```
Also, makes the pretty-printer use & instead of @ as much as possible,
which will help with later changes, though in the interim has produced
some... interesting constructs.
After getting an ICE trying to use the `Repr` enum from middle::trans::adt (see issue #7527), I tried to implement the missing case for struct-like enum variants in `middle::ty::enum_variants()`. It seems to work now (and passes make check) but there are still some uncertainties that bother me:
+ I'm not sure I did everything, right. Especially getting the variant constructor function from the variant node id is just copied from the tuple-variant case. Someone with more experience in the code base should be able to see rather quickly whether this OK so.
+ It is kind of strange that I could not reproduce the ICE with a smaller test case. The unimplemented code path never seems to be hit in most cases, even when using the exact same `Repr` enum, just with `ty::t` replaced by an opaque pointer. Also, within the `adt` module, `Repr` and matching on it is used multiple times, again without running into problems. Can anyone explain why this is the case? That would be much appreciated.
Apart from that, I hope this PR is useful.
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..
Mostly just low-haning fruit, i.e. function arguments that were @ even
though & would work just as well.
Reduces librustc.so size by 200k when compiling without -O, by 100k when
compiling with -O.
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
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.
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 removed test for issue #2611 is well covered by the `std::iterator`
module itself.
This adds the `count` method to `IteratorUtil` to replace `EqIter`.
The lookups for these items in external crates currently cause repeated
decoding of the EBML metadata, which is pretty slow. Adding caches to
avoid the repeated decoding reduces the time required for the type
checking of librustc by about 25%.
This fixes the strange random crashes in compile-fail tests.
This reverts commit 96cd61ad03.

This almost removes the StringRef wrapper, since all strings are
Equiv-alent now. Removes a lot of `/* bad */ copy *`'s, and converts
several things to be &'static str (the lint table and the intrinsics
table).
There are many instances of .to_managed(), unfortunately.
Minimally fixes#7017, we were overwriting the result and thus ignoring attributes before the last.
csearch::get_item_attrs and decoder::get_item_attrs should probably also be changed to each_item_attrs using the for protocol, but that's just a minor performance/style issue.
The `callee_id` in `ast::expr` in only used in a couple expression variants. This moves the `callee_id` into those branches to make it more clear when its should be used.
Also, it fixes a bug in a std::run test when there is a symlink in the path rust where was checked out.
This fixes#6745, which itself relates to #4202. Slightly ham-fisted -- feel particularly funny about using the typeck phase to gather the base -> impl mapping, and the separate code paths for traits vs. "real" bases feels like it could be avoided -- but it seems to work.
As always, open to suggestions if there's a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
@catamorphism r?
Fix a laundry list of warnings involving unused imports that glutted
up compilation output. There are more, but there seems to be some
false positives (where 'remedy' appears to break the build), but this
particular set of fixes seems safe.
