Changed function types to include a list of constraints. Added
code for parsing and pretty-printing constraints. This necessitated
splitting pprust into two files (pprust and ppaux) to break a
circulate dependency, as ty_to_str now needs to print out constraints,
which may include literals, but pprust depended on ty.
Keywords are now only recognized in contexts where they are valid. The
lexer no longer recognizes them, all words are lexed as IDENT tokens,
that get interpreted by the parser.
This commit reinstates the requirement that the predicate in a
"check" must be a manifest call to a special kind of function
declared with the new "pred" keyword instead of "fn". Preds must
have a boolean return type and can only call other preds; they
can't have any effects (as enforced by the typechecker).
The arguments to a predicate in a check expression must be
slot variables or literals.
This giant commit changes the syntax of Rust to use "assert" for
"check" expressions that didn't mean anything to the typestate
system, and continue using "check" for checks that are used as
part of typestate checking.
Most of the changes are just replacing "check" with "assert" in test
cases and rustc.
This makes passing them around cheaper. There is now a table (see
front/codemap.rs) that is needed to transform such an uint into an
actual filename/line/col location.
Also cleans up the span building in the parser a bit.
I added a new field to the ast "ann" type for typestate information.
Currently, the field contains a record of a precondition bit vector and
postcondition vector, but I tried to structure things so as to make
it easy to change the representation of the typestate annotation type.
I also had to add annotations to some syntactic forms that didn't have
them before (fail, ret, be...), with all the boilerplate changes
that that would imply.
The main call to the typestate_check entry point is commented out and
the actual pre-postcondition algorithm only has a few cases
implemented, though the overall AST traversal is there. The rest of
the typestate algorithm isn't implemented yet.
floats. However, if someone writes a literal that can't be represented
precisely in 64 bits, the front-end will accept it while the back-end
will (presumably) complain.
and literals with the 'f32' or 'f64' suffixes work as well. In
addition, logging things with the f32 or f64 type works. (float is
still assumed to be a synonym for f64).
Writer and reader streams now come with methods to write and read
little-endian numbers. Whether that is the right place for such
methods is debatable, but for now, that's where they live.
