`slice_shift_char` splits a `str` into it's leading `char` and the remainder of the `str`. Currently, it returns a `(Option<char>, &str)` such that:
"bar".slice_shift_char() => (Some('b'), "ar")
"ar".slice_shift_char() => (Some('a'), "r")
"r".slice_shift_char() => (Some('r'), "")
"".slice_shift_char() => (None, "")
This is a little odd. Either a `str` can be split into both a head and a tail or it cannot. So the return type should be `Option<(char, &str)>`. With the current behaviour, in the case of the empty string, the `str` returned is meaningless - it is always the empty string.
This PR changes `slice_shift_char` so that:
"bar".slice_shift_char() => Some(('b', "ar"))
"ar".slice_shift_char() => Some(('a', "r"))
"r".slice_shift_char() => Some(('r', ""))
"".slice_shift_char() => None
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}
```

This common representation for delimeters should make pattern matching easier. Having a separate `token::DelimToken` enum also allows us to enforce the invariant that the opening and closing delimiters must be the same in `ast::TtDelimited`, removing the need to ensure matched delimiters when working with token trees.
Stop read+write expressions from expanding into two occurences
in the AST. Add a bool to indicate whether an operand in output
position if read+write or not.
Fixes#14936
This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.

* The select/plural methods from format strings are removed
* The # character no longer needs to be escaped
* The \-based escapes have been removed
* '{{' is now an escape for '{'
* '}}' is now an escape for '}'

for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

There's now one unified way to return things from a macro, instead of
being able to choose the `AnyMacro` trait or the `MRItem`/`MRExpr`
variants of the `MacResult` enum. This does simplify the logic handling
the expansions, but the biggest value of this is it makes macros in (for
example) type position easier to implement, as there's this single thing
to modify.
By my measurements (using `-Z time-passes` on libstd and librustc etc.),
this appears to have little-to-no impact on expansion speed. There are
presumably larger costs than the small number of extra allocations and
virtual calls this adds (notably, all `macro_rules!`-defined macros have
not changed in behaviour, since they had to use the `AnyMacro` trait
anyway).
Closes#11692. Instead of returning the original expression, a dummy expression
(with identical span) is returned. This prevents infinite loops of failed
expansions as well as odd double error messages in certain situations.
This means that compilation continues for longer, and so we can see more
errors per compile. This is mildly more user-friendly because it stops
users having to run rustc n times to see n macro errors: just run it
once to see all of them.
For the benefit of the pretty printer we want to keep track of how
string literals in the ast were originally represented in the source
code.
This commit changes parser functions so they don't extract strings from
the token stream without at least also returning what style of string
literal it was. This is stored in the resulting ast node for string
literals, obviously, for the package id in `extern mod = r"package id"`
view items, for the inline asm in `asm!()` invocations.
For `asm!()`'s other arguments or for `extern "Rust" fn()` items, I just
the style of string, because it seemed disproportionally cumbersome to
thread that information through the string processing that happens with
those string literals, given the limited advantage raw string literals
would provide in these positions.
The other syntax extensions don't seem to store passed string literals
in the ast, so they also discard the style of strings they parse.
