This reverts commit 9c7d5ae57c.
This was wrong... the `continue` was to ignore the latter half of the
tokens file. Another mechanism will have to be used to keep the model
grammar's tokens in sync with the actual grammar's tokens :-/
To prevent the reference grammar from getting out of sync with the real
grammar, panic if RustLexer.tokens contains an unknown token in a
similar way that verify.rs panics if it encounters an unknown binary
operation token.
The regex library was largely used for non-critical aspects of the compiler and
various external tooling. The library at this point is duplicated with its
out-of-tree counterpart and as such imposes a bit of a maintenance overhead as
well as compile time hit for the compiler itself.
The last major user of the regex library is the libtest library, using regexes
for filters when running tests. This removal means that the filtering has gone
back to substring matching rather than using regexes.
macro_rules! is like an item that defines a macro. Other items don't have a
trailing semicolon, or use a paren-delimited body.
If there's an argument for matching the invocation syntax, e.g. parentheses for
an expr macro, then I think that applies more strongly to the *inner*
delimiters on the LHS, wrapping the individual argument patterns.
This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
Closes#14602. As discussed in that issue, the existing `at` and `name`
functions represent two different results with the empty string:
1. Matched the empty string.
2. Did not match anything.
Consider the following example. This regex has two named matched
groups, `key` and `value`. `value` is optional:
```rust
// Matches "foo", "foo;v=bar" and "foo;v=".
regex!(r"(?P<key>[a-z]+)(;v=(?P<value>[a-z]*))?");
```
We can access `value` using `caps.name("value")`, but there's no way for
us to distinguish between the `"foo"` and `"foo;v="` cases.
Early this year, @BurntSushi recommended modifying the existing `at` and
`name` functions to return `Option`, instead of adding new functions to
the API.
This is a [breaking-change], but the fix is easy:
- `refs.at(1)` becomes `refs.at(1).unwrap_or("")`.
- `refs.name(name)` becomes `refs.name(name).unwrap_or("")`.
This common representation for delimeters should make pattern matching easier. Having a separate `token::DelimToken` enum also allows us to enforce the invariant that the opening and closing delimiters must be the same in `ast::TtDelimited`, removing the need to ensure matched delimiters when working with token trees.

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.
