This type was a small performance win for `html5ever`, which uses a
macro with hundreds of very simple rules that don't contain any
metavariables. But this type is complicated (extra lifetimes) and
perf-neutral for macros that do have metavariables.
This commit removes `MatcherPosHandle`, simplifying things a lot. This
increases the allocation rate for `html5ever` and similar cases a bit,
but makes things easier for follow-up changes that will improve
performance more than what we lost here.
This performs a substitution of code following the pattern:
let <id> = if let <pat> = ... { identity } else { ... : ! };
To simplify it to:
let <pat> = ... { identity } else { ... : ! };
By adopting the let_else feature.
Fixes#87877
This change interacts badly with `noop_flat_map_stmt`,
which synthesizes multiple statements with the same `NodeId`.
I'm working on a better fix that will still allow us to
remove this special case. For now, let's revert the change
to fix the ICE.
This reverts commit a4262cc984, reversing
changes made to 8ee962f88e.
Currently, we only point at the span of the macro argument. When the
macro call is itself generated by another macro, this can make it
difficult or impossible to determine which macro is responsible for
producing the error.
StringReader is an intornal abstraction which at the moment changes a
lot, so these unit tests cause quite a bit of friction.
Moving them to rustc_lexer and more ingerated-testing style should
make them much less annoying, hopefully without decreasing their
usefulness much.
Note that coloncolon tests are removed (it's unclear what those are
testing).
\r\n tests are removed as well, as we normalize line endings even
before lexing.
