There's currently a fair amount of code which is being ignored on unnamed blocks
(which are the default now), and I opted to leave it commented out for now. I
intend on very soon revisiting on how we perform linking with extern crates in
an effort to support static linking.
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.
Remove the only use of either::partition since it was better
accomplished with vector methods.
Update either::partition so that it sizes the vectors correctly before
it starts.
This commit allows you to write:
extern mod x = "a/b/c";
which means rustc will search in the RUST_PATH for a package with
ID a/b/c, and bind it to the name `x` if it's found.
Incidentally, move get_relative_to from back::rpath into std::path
This is preparation for removing `@fn`.
This does *not* use default methods yet, because I don't know
whether they work. If they do, a forthcoming PR will use them.
This also changes the precedence of `as`.
`crate => Crate`
`local => Local`
`blk => Block`
`crate_num => CrateNum`
`crate_cfg => CrateConfig`
Also, Crate and Local are not wrapped in spanned<T> anymore.
This does a number of things, but especially dramatically reduce the
number of allocations performed for operations involving attributes/
meta items:
- Converts ast::meta_item & ast::attribute and other associated enums
to CamelCase.
- Converts several standalone functions in syntax::attr into methods,
defined on two traits AttrMetaMethods & AttributeMethods. The former
is common to both MetaItem and Attribute since the latter is a thin
wrapper around the former.
- Deletes functions that are unnecessary due to iterators.
- Converts other standalone functions to use iterators and the generic
AttrMetaMethods rather than allocating a lot of new vectors (e.g. the
old code would have to allocate a new vector to use functions that
operated on &[meta_item] on &[attribute].)
- Moves the core algorithm of the #[cfg] matching to syntax::attr,
similar to find_inline_attr and find_linkage_metas.
This doesn't have much of an effect on the speed of #[cfg] stripping,
despite hugely reducing the number of allocations performed; presumably
most of the time is spent in the ast folder rather than doing attribute
checks.
Also fixes the Eq instance of MetaItem_ to correctly ignore spaces, so
that `rustc --cfg 'foo(bar)'` now works.
Mostly just low-haning fruit, i.e. function arguments that were @ even
though & would work just as well.
Reduces librustc.so size by 200k when compiling without -O, by 100k when
compiling with -O.
I removed the `static-method-test.rs` test because it was heavily based
on `BaseIter` and there are plenty of other more complex uses of static
methods anyway.
The removed test for issue #2611 is well covered by the `std::iterator`
module itself.
This adds the `count` method to `IteratorUtil` to replace `EqIter`.
This almost removes the StringRef wrapper, since all strings are
Equiv-alent now. Removes a lot of `/* bad */ copy *`'s, and converts
several things to be &'static str (the lint table and the intrinsics
table).
There are many instances of .to_managed(), unfortunately.
I believe this patch incorporates all expected syntax changes from extern
function reform (#3678). You can now write things like:
extern "<abi>" fn foo(s: S) -> T { ... }
extern "<abi>" mod { ... }
extern "<abi>" fn(S) -> T
The ABI for foreign functions is taken from this syntax (rather than from an
annotation). We support the full ABI specification I described on the mailing
list. The correct ABI is chosen based on the target architecture.
Calls by pointer to C functions are not yet supported, and the Rust type of
crust fns is still *u8.
For bootstrapping purposes, this commit does not remove all uses of
the keyword "pure" -- doing so would cause the compiler to no longer
bootstrap due to some syntax extensions ("deriving" in particular).
Instead, it makes the compiler ignore "pure". Post-snapshot, we can
remove "pure" from the language.
There are quite a few (~100) borrow check errors that were essentially
all the result of mutable fields or partial borrows of `@mut`. Per
discussions with Niko I think we want to allow partial borrows of
`@mut` but detect obvious footguns. We should also improve the error
message when `@mut` is erroneously reborrowed.
