Currently, keywords are stored in hashsets that are recreated for every
Parser instance, which is quite expensive since macro expansion creates
lots of them. Additionally, the parser functions that look for a keyword
currently accept a string and have a runtime check to validate that they
actually received a keyword.
By creating an enum for the keywords and inserting them into the
ident interner, we can avoid the creation of the hashsets and get static
checks for the keywords.
For libstd, this cuts the parse+expansion part from ~2.6s to ~1.6s.
Replace all instances of #[auto_*code] with the appropriate #[deriving] attribute
and remove the majority of the actual code, leaving stubs to refer the user to
the new syntax.
fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
Closes#6183.
The first commit changes the compiler's method of treating a `for` loop, and all the remaining commits are just dealing with the fallout.
The biggest fallout was the `IterBytes` trait, although it's really a whole lot nicer now because all of the `iter_bytes_XX` methods are just and-ed together. Sadly there was a huge amount of stuff that's `cfg(stage0)` gated, but whoever lands the next snapshot is going to have a lot of fun deleting all this code!
&str can be turned into @~str on demand, using to_owned(), so for
strings, we can create a specialized interner that accepts &str for
intern() and find() but stores and returns @~str.
The drop block has been deprecated for quite some time. This patch series removes support for parsing it and all the related machinery that made drop work.
As a side feature of all this, I also added the ability to annote fields in structs. This allows comments to be properly associated with an individual field. However, I didn't update `rustdoc` to integrate these comment blocks into the documentation it generates.
prec.rs no longer had much to do with precedence; the token->binop
function fits better in token.rs, and the one-liner defining the
precedence of 'as' can go next to the other precedence stuff in
ast_util.rs
Macro scope is now delimited by function, block, and module boundaries,
except for modules that are marked with #[macro_escape], which allows
macros to escape.
r?
Apply deriving_eq to the data structures in ast.rs, and get rid of the custom definitions of eq that were everywhere. resulting ast.rs is about 400 lines shorter.
Also: add a few test cases and a bunch of comments.
Also: change ast_ty_to_ty_cache to use node ids rather than ast::ty's. I believe this was a suggestion related to my changes, and it appears to pass all tests.
Also: tiny doc fix, remove references to crate keywords.
