This comes with a terminology change. All linkage-symbols are 'extern'
now, including rust syms in other crates. Some extern ABIs are
merely "foreign". The term "native" is retired, not clear/useful.
What was "crust" is now "extern" applied to a _definition_. This
is a bit of an overloading, but should be unambiguous: it means
that the definition should be made available to some non-rust ABI.
- paths can now take region parameters, replacing the dirty hack
I was doing before of abusing vstores. vstores are now a bit
of a hack though.
- fix various small bugs:
- we never checked that iface types were compatible when casting
to an iface with `as`
- we allowed nonsense like int<int>
- and more! (actually that may be it)
Most could use the each method, but because of the hack used to
disambiguate old- and new-style loops, some had to use vec::each.
(This hack will go away soon.)
Issue #1619
- we now distinguish bound/free parameters (see region-param
test case for why this is necessary)
- we also track bounds on region variables
- also, restructure fold_ty() to have multiple variants without
duplication instead of one overloaded folder. This also allows
for using block functions.
Cross-crate metadata for classes works well enough that programs with
classes in other crates compile successfully, but output wrong results.
Checking in work so far to avoid merge hassles. (Tests are xfailed.)
This required changing almost all users of hashmaps to import the hashmap interface first.
The `size` member in the hashmap structure was renamed to `count` to work around a name conflict.
