Apparently, we have previously rejected an RFC like this. However, since then we removed `{:?}` and so without this debugging gets really difficult as soon as there is a RefCell anywhere, so I believe there is more benefit to adding these impls than there was before. By using "try_borrow" we can avoid panicing in `Show` (I think).
@ huon in response to a comment in #19254: I noticed that `drop()` checks for the ptr being null, so I checked here too. Now I am checking for both, if you're confident I can change to only checking `strong()`.
1. Produced more unique types than is necessary. This increases memory consumption.
2. Linking the type parameter to its definition *seems* like a good idea, but it
encourages reliance on the bounds listing.
3. It made pretty-printing harder and in particular was causing bad error messages
when errors occurred before the `TypeParameterDef` entries were fully stored.
[breaking-change]
This and the other commit in this PR change the rules for shadowing and globs to be
stricter. There were previously bugs where some glob imports would not be checked
for shadowing. Those are now fixed and you may have to adjust your imports to use
fewer globs.
There is also some work here to make resolve a bit more stable - it no longer overwrites a specific import with a glob import.
[breaking-change]
Import shadowing of single/list imports by globs is now forbidden. An interesting case is where a glob import imports a re-export (`pub use`) of a single import. This still counts as a single import for the purposes of shadowing .You can usually fix any bustage by re-ordering such imports. A single import may still shadow (override) a glob import or the prelude.
This commit starts out by consolidating all `str` extension traits into one
`StrExt` trait to be included in the prelude. This means that
`UnicodeStrPrelude`, `StrPrelude`, and `StrAllocating` have all been merged into
one `StrExt` exported by the standard library. Some functionality is currently
duplicated with the `StrExt` present in libcore.
This commit also currently avoids any methods which require any form of pattern
to operate. These functions will be stabilized via a separate RFC.
Next, stability of methods and structures are as follows:
Stable
* from_utf8_unchecked
* CowString - after moving to std::string
* StrExt::as_bytes
* StrExt::as_ptr
* StrExt::bytes/Bytes - also made a struct instead of a typedef
* StrExt::char_indices/CharIndices - CharOffsets was renamed
* StrExt::chars/Chars
* StrExt::is_empty
* StrExt::len
* StrExt::lines/Lines
* StrExt::lines_any/LinesAny
* StrExt::slice_unchecked
* StrExt::trim
* StrExt::trim_left
* StrExt::trim_right
* StrExt::words/Words - also made a struct instead of a typedef
Unstable
* from_utf8 - the error type was changed to a `Result`, but the error type has
yet to prove itself
* from_c_str - this function will be handled by the c_str RFC
* FromStr - this trait will have an associated error type eventually
* StrExt::escape_default - needs iterators at least, unsure if it should make
the cut
* StrExt::escape_unicode - needs iterators at least, unsure if it should make
the cut
* StrExt::slice_chars - this function has yet to prove itself
* StrExt::slice_shift_char - awaiting conventions about slicing and shifting
* StrExt::graphemes/Graphemes - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::grapheme_indices/GraphemeIndices - this functionality may only be in
libunicode
* StrExt::width - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::utf16_units - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfd_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfkd_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfc_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfkc_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::is_char_boundary - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_range_at - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_range_at_reverse - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_at - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_at_reverse - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrVector::concat - this functionality may be replaced with iterators, but
it's not certain at this time
* StrVector::connect - as with concat, may be deprecated in favor of iterators
Deprecated
* StrAllocating and UnicodeStrPrelude have been merged into StrExit
* eq_slice - compiler implementation detail
* from_str - use the inherent parse() method
* is_utf8 - call from_utf8 instead
* replace - call the method instead
* truncate_utf16_at_nul - this is an implementation detail of windows and does
not need to be exposed.
* utf8_char_width - moved to libunicode
* utf16_items - moved to libunicode
* is_utf16 - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Items - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Item - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Encoder - moved to libunicode
* AnyLines - renamed to LinesAny and made a struct
* SendStr - use CowString<'static> instead
* str::raw - all functionality is deprecated
* StrExt::into_string - call to_string() instead
* StrExt::repeat - use iterators instead
* StrExt::char_len - use .chars().count() instead
* StrExt::is_alphanumeric - use .chars().all(..)
* StrExt::is_whitespace - use .chars().all(..)
Pending deprecation -- while slicing syntax is being worked out, these methods
are all #[unstable]
* Str - while currently used for generic programming, this trait will be
replaced with one of [], deref coercions, or a generic conversion trait.
* StrExt::slice - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::slice_to - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::slice_from - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::lev_distance - deprecated with no replacement
Awaiting stabilization due to patterns and/or matching
* StrExt::contains
* StrExt::contains_char
* StrExt::split
* StrExt::splitn
* StrExt::split_terminator
* StrExt::rsplitn
* StrExt::match_indices
