Added unit test to prevent similar mistakes from happening again. The
previous method was wrong because it dereferenced a pointer to a void type to
match on the result. No self pointer was needed, and the correct method
signature took the self value by value.
I feel silly that I made this mistake in https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/6348
As discussed on issue #4819. This is a naive implementation, trusting LLVM to do the relevant optimizations. In the future this could be implemented more efficiently, but it's a start.
Closes#2647
This way it's much easier to add lints throughout compilation correctly, and
functions on impls can alter the way lints are emitted. This involved pretty much rewriting how lints are emitted. Beforehand, only items could alter the lint settings, so whenever a lint was added it had to be associated with whatever item id it was coming from. I removed this (possibly questionably) in favor of just specifying a span and a message when adding a lint. When lint checking comes around, it looks at all the lints and sees which node with attributes best encloses it and uses that level of linting. This means that all consumer code doesn't have to deal with what item things came from (especially because functions on impls aren't items). More details of this can be found in the code (and comments).
As a bonus, I managed to greatly simplify emission of lints in resolve.rs about unused imports. Now instead of it manually tracking what the lint level is, it's all moved over into the lint module (as is to be expected).
`str::from_slice` and `vec::from_slice` are changed to `str::to_owned` and `vec::to_owned`. (#6389)
Replace `at_vec::from_owned` and `at_vec::from_slice` with `at_vec::to_managed_consume` and `at_vec::to_managed`.
This is mostly for `std::rc` and `std::arc` (but I haven't implemented it for ARC yet).
Implementing it correctly for managed boxes is *very* non-trivial. It would probably require an unholy mix of reflection and TLS.
