- 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)
In the "not all paths return" error message, typestate was printing
the AST type from the fn decl, not the ty::t type. This ended in tears
when the AST return type was "ty_infer". Now it looks up the function node
ID's type and uses util::ppaux::ty_to_str instead.
Closes#2163.
As per Issue #1193. Closes#1193.
I had to rename a few variables ("info" and "epsilon") to avoid
clashing with in-scope constants, which is responsible for all the
changes other than resolve and issue-1193.rs.
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/ )
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.
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).
