This giant commit changes the syntax of Rust to use "assert" for
"check" expressions that didn't mean anything to the typestate
system, and continue using "check" for checks that are used as
part of typestate checking.
Most of the changes are just replacing "check" with "assert" in test
cases and rustc.
(caveat for the latter: it assumes that binary operations are strict;
a TODO is to detect or and and and correctly reflect that they're lazy
in the second argument). I had to add an ann field to ast.block,
resulting in the usual boilerplate changes.
Test cases that currently work (if you uncomment the typestate pass
in the driver) (all these are under test/compile-fail):
fru-typestate
ret-uninit
use-uninit
use-uninit-2
use-uninit-3
Also changed the ts_ann field on statements to be an ann instead,
which explains most of the changes.
As well, got rid of the "warning: no type for expression" error
by filling in annotations for local decls in typeck (not sure whether
this was my fault or not).
Finally, in bitv, added a clone() function to copy a bit vector,
and fixed is_true, is_false, and to_str to not be nonsense.
This makes passing them around cheaper. There is now a table (see
front/codemap.rs) that is needed to transform such an uint into an
actual filename/line/col location.
Also cleans up the span building in the parser a bit.
Nicer parsing of self-calls (expr_self_method nodes inside expr_call
nodes, rather than a separate expr_call_self) makes typechecking
tractable. We can now write self-calls that take arguments and return
values (see: test/run-pass/obj-self-*.rs).
It's still sketchy. I added a typestate annotation field to statements
tagged stmt_decl or stmt_expr, because a stmt_decl statement has a typestate
that's different from that of its child node. This necessitated trivial
changes to a bunch of other files all over to the compiler. I also added a
few small standard library functions, some of which I didn't actually end
up using but which I thought might be useful anyway.
The last few pieces of the hack that lets us use trans.trans_call() to
translate self-calls, plus a fix for the parser buy that was
preventing self-call expressions from getting past parsing.
test/run-pass/obj-self.rs works now (as in it actually prints "hi!"
twice!).
