- paths can now take region parameters, replacing the dirty hack
I was doing before of abusing vstores. vstores are now a bit
of a hack though.
- fix various small bugs:
- we never checked that iface types were compatible when casting
to an iface with `as`
- we allowed nonsense like int<int>
- and more! (actually that may be it)
Introduce syntax like:
iface animal { ... }
class cat implements animal { ... }
to allow classes to implement ifaces. Casting classes to ifaces
is *not* yet supported. ifaces that a class implements are not
yet included in metadata.
The syntax is subject to change, and may go away completely if we
decide to use duck typing to relate classes with ifaces (see
http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2012/04/10/declared-vs-duckish-typing/ )
Classes can have ty params now. So can methods inside classes.
That was probably true before, but now it should still work if you
call methods in a class that's defined in a different crate. Yay!
`use` statement may introduce an crate name alias. This patch always
uses the link attrbute "name" as the crate's name when building the
crate map.
Closes#1706
get_with_default (nee from_maybe) => get_default
with_option (nee maybe) => map_default
with_option_do (nee may) => iter
As per discussion of 21be1379d5
Most could use the each method, but because of the hack used to
disambiguate old- and new-style loops, some had to use vec::each.
(This hack will go away soon.)
Issue #1619
- we now distinguish bound/free parameters (see region-param
test case for why this is necessary)
- we also track bounds on region variables
- also, restructure fold_ty() to have multiple variants without
duplication instead of one overloaded folder. This also allows
for using block functions.
from_maybe => get_with_default
maybe => with_option
may => with_option_do
I know these names are kind of ridiculous, but it's the best I could think of.
Feel free to bikeshed. Closes#2081
All field or method references within a class must begin with "self." now.
A bare reference to a field or method in the same class will no longer
typecheck.
Allow writing self.f() within a class that has a method f. In a future
commit, this syntax will be required. For now, you can write either
self.f() or f().
I added a "privacy" field to all methods (whether class methods or not),
which allowed me to refactor the AST somewhat (getting rid of the
class_item type; now there's just class_member).
1. Enforce mutability declarations on class fields. Don't allow any
mutation of class fields not declared as mutable (except inside the
constructor).
2. Handle classes correctly in shape (treat classes like records).
This change uses the same code for handling the "self" reference for
classes as is already used for impls/ifaces. This allows removing the
extra maybe_self_id argument (which was just for classes) to trans_closure
that I added before. I also rewrote the translation for class ctors so
that it doesn't generate new AST nodes (instead translating directly).
Also changed visit so that it visits class ctors correctly with visit_fn,
and changed typestate to not do return-checking when visiting a class ctor.
