This is intended to solve the problem of how to pass arguments to
constructor functions -- you want to move in rvalues, but not have to
explicitly copy stuff that is not an rvalue. The by-copy passing
convention will ensure the callee gets its own copy of the value. For
rvalues, it'll just pass off the value. For lvalues, it'll make a
copy.
Issue #1177
This goes before a snapshot, so that subsequenct patches can make the
transition without breaking the build. Disables kind checking pass, makes
parser accept both new and old-style kind annotation.
Issue #1177
This patch changes how to specify ABI and link name of a native module.
Before:
native "cdecl" mod llvm = "rustllvm" {...}
After:
#[abi = "cdecl"]
#[link_name = "rustllvm"]
native mod llvm {...}
The old optional syntax for ABI and link name is no longer supported.
Fixes issue #547
This patch adds support of using attributes to specify native mode ABI
and link name. The old optional syntax like:
native "cdecl" mod llvm = "rustllvm" { ... }
is still supported.
This is a transitional commit to avoid making a stage1 (backward
imcompatible) snapshot.
Under this scheme when parsing foo.rc the parser will also look for
foo.rs to fill in the crate-level module, and when evaluating a
directory module directive it will look for a .rs file with the
same name as the directory.
You almost never want a function with pinned type params. For
types, objects, resources, and tags, pinned types are actually often
more sane. For most of these, shared rarely makes sense. Only tricky
case is objs -- you'll have to think about the kinds you want there.
Issue #1076
Previously, the parser would try to interpret this as a block call:
if true {} // No semicolon
{|i, am, a, block|};
Which, though unlikely, might come up in practice.
This makes it possible to omit the semicolon after the block, and will
cause the pretty-printer to properly print such calls (if
pretty-printing of blocks wasn't so broken). Block calls (with the
block outside of the parentheses) can now only occur at statement
level, and their value can not be used. When calling a block-style
function that returns a useful value, the block must be put insde the
parentheses.
