Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains
a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code
where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically---
a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation
to some really nasty bugs.
This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident
and a span.
The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.
This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

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.

After a snapshot, the old syntax will be removed.
This can break some code that looked like `foo as &Trait:Send`. Now you
will need to write `foo as (&Trait+Send)`.

parameters
This involves numerous substeps:
1. Treat Self same as any other parameter.
2. No longer compute offsets for method parameters.
3. Store all generic types (both trait/impl and method) with a method,
eliminating odd discrepancies.
4. Stop doing unspeakable things to static methods and instead just use
the natural types, now that we can easily add the type parameters from
trait into the method's polytype.
5. No doubt some more. It was hard to separate these into distinct commits.
Fixes#13564
This uncovered some dead code, most notably in middle/liveness.rs, which I think suggests there must be something fishy with that part of the code.
The #[allow(dead_code)] annotations on some of the fields I am not super happy about but as I understand, marker type may disappear at some point.
This completes the last stage of the renaming of the comparison hierarchy of
traits. This change renames TotalEq to Eq and TotalOrd to Ord.
In the future the new Eq/Ord will be filled out with their appropriate methods,
but for now this change is purely a renaming change.
[breaking-change]
This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more
details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord}
or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}.

A number of functions/methods have been moved or renamed to align

All of these features have been obsolete since February 2014, where most have
been obsolete since 2013. There shouldn't be any more need to keep around the
parser hacks after this length of time.
1. Wherever the `buf` field of a `Formatter` was used, the `Formatter` is used
instead.
2. The usage of `write_fmt` is minimized as much as possible, the `write!` macro
is preferred wherever possible.
3. Usage of `fmt::write` is minimized, favoring the `write!` macro instead.
Integers are always parsed as a u64 in libsyntax, but they're stored as i64. The
parser and pretty printer both printed an i64 instead of u64, sometimes
introducing an extra negative sign.
Previously, the parser would not allow you to simultaneously implement a
function with a different abi as well as being unsafe at the same time. This
extends the parser to allow functions of the form:
unsafe extern fn foo() {
// ...
}
The closure type grammar was also changed to reflect this reversal, types
previously written as "extern unsafe fn()" must now be written as
"unsafe extern fn()". The parser currently has a hack which allows the old
style, but this will go away once a snapshot has landed.

Clearly storing them as `char` is semantically nicer, but this also
fixes a bug whereby `quote_expr!(cx, 'a')` wasn't working, because the
code created by quotation was not matching the actual AST definitions.
This PR is primarily motivated by (and fixes) #12926.
We currently only have a span for the individual item itself and not for the referred contents. This normally does not cause a problem since both are located in the same file; it *is* possible that the contained statement or item is located in the other file (the syntax extension can do that), but even in that case the syntax extension should be located in the same file as the item. The module item (i.e. `mod foo;`) is the only exception here, and thus warrants a special treatment.
Rustdoc would now distinguish `mod foo;` from `mod foo {...}` by checking if the span for the module item and module contents is in different files. If it's the case, we'd prefer module contents over module item. There are alternative strategies, but as noted above we will have some corner cases if we don't record the contents span explicitly.
this is useful when the module item and module contents are defined
from different files (like rustdoc). in most cases the original span
for the module item would be used; in other cases, the span for
module contents is available separately at the `inner` field.
it reflected the obsolete syntax `use a, b, c;` and did not make
past the parser (though it was a non-fatal error so we can continue).
this legacy affected many portions of rustc and rustdoc as well,
so this commit cleans them up altogether.
Specifically, the method parameter cardinality mismatch or missing
method error message span now gets method itself exactly. It was the
whole expression.

Now with proper checking of enums and allows unsized fields as the last field in a struct or variant. This PR only checks passing of unsized types and distinguishing them from sized ones. To be safe we also need to control storage.
Closes issues #12969 and #13121, supersedes #13375 (all the discussion there is valid here too).
This currently requires linking against a library like libquadmath (or
libgcc), because compiler-rt barely has any support for this and most
hardware does not yet have 128-bit precision floating point. For this
reason, it's currently hidden behind a feature gate.
When compiler-rt is updated to trunk, some tests can be added for
constant evaluation since there will be support for the comparison
operators.
Closes#13381
This removes the `priv` keyword from the language and removes private enum
variants as a result. The remaining use cases of private enum variants were all
updated to be a struct with one private field that is a private enum.
RFC: 0006-remove-priv
Closes#13535
This change removes the AbiSet from the AST, converting all usage to have just
one Abi value. The current scheme selects a relevant ABI given a list of ABIs
based on the target architecture and how relevant each ABI is to that
architecture.
Instead of this mildly complicated scheme, only one ABI will be allowed in abi
strings, and pseudo-abis will be created for special cases as necessary. For
example the "system" abi exists for stdcall on win32 and C on win64.
Closes#10049
This is a continuation of the work done in #13184 to make struct fields private
by default. This commit finishes RFC 4 by making all tuple structs have private
fields by default. Note that enum variants are not affected.
A tuple struct having a private field means that it cannot be matched on in a
pattern match (both refutable and irrefutable), and it also cannot have a value
specified to be constructed. Similarly to private fields, switching the type of
a private field in a tuple struct should be able to be done in a backwards
compatible way.
The one snag that I ran into which wasn't mentioned in the RFC is that this
commit also forbids taking the value of a tuple struct constructor. For example,
this code now fails to compile:
mod a {
pub struct A(int);
}
let a: fn(int) -> a::A = a::A; //~ ERROR: first field is private
Although no fields are bound in this example, it exposes implementation details
through the type itself. For this reason, taking the value of a struct
constructor with private fields is forbidden (outside the containing module).
RFC: 0004-private-fields
This change is in preparation for #8122. Nothing is currently done with these
visibility qualifiers, they are just parsed and accepted by the compiler.

Replace syntax::opt_vec with syntax::owned_slice
The `owned_slice::OwnedSlice` is `(*T, uint)` (i.e. a direct equivalent to DSTs `~[T]`).
This shaves two words off the old OptVec type; and also makes substituting in other implementations easy, by removing all the mutation methods. (And also everything that's very rarely/never used.)
`Share` implies that all *reachable* content is *threadsafe*.
Threadsafe is defined as "exposing no operation that permits a data race if multiple threads have access to a &T pointer simultaneously". (NB: the type system should guarantee that if you have access to memory via a &T pointer, the only other way to gain access to that memory is through another &T pointer)...

What this PR will do
================
- [x] Add Share kind and
- [x] Replace usages of Freeze with Share in bounds.
- [x] Add Unsafe<T> #12577
- [x] Forbid taking the address of a immutable static item with `Unsafe<T>` interior
What's left to do in a separate PR (after the snapshot)?
===========================================
- Remove `Freeze` completely
This commit removes all internal support for the previously used __log_level()
expression. The logging subsystem was previously modified to not rely on this
magical expression. This also removes the only other function to use the
module_data map in trans, decl_gc_metadata. It appears that this is an ancient
function from a GC only used long ago.
This does not remove the crate map entirely, as libgreen still uses it to hook
in to the event loop provided by libgreen.
There is a broader revision (that does this across the board) pending
in #12675, but that is awaiting the arrival of more data (to decide
whether to keep OptVec alive by using a non-Vec internally).
For this code, the representation of lifetime lists needs to be the
same in both ScopeChain and in the ast and ty structures. So it
seemed cleanest to just use `vec_ng::Vec`, now that it has a cheaper
empty representation than the current `vec` code.
* `Ord` inherits from `Eq`
* `TotalOrd` inherits from `TotalEq`
* `TotalOrd` inherits from `Ord`
* `TotalEq` inherits from `Eq`
This is a partial implementation of #12517.
Previously `ast::Arm` was always storing a single `ast::Expr` wrapped in an
`ast::Block` (for historical reasons, AIUI), so we might as just store
that expr directly.
Closes#3085.
This commit changes the ToStr trait to:
impl<T: fmt::Show> ToStr for T {
fn to_str(&self) -> ~str { format!("{}", *self) }
}
The ToStr trait has been on the chopping block for quite awhile now, and this is
the final nail in its coffin. The trait and the corresponding method are not
being removed as part of this commit, but rather any implementations of the
`ToStr` trait are being forbidden because of the generic impl. The new way to
get the `to_str()` method to work is to implement `fmt::Show`.
Formatting into a `&mut Writer` (as `format!` does) is much more efficient than
`ToStr` when building up large strings. The `ToStr` trait forces many
intermediate allocations to be made while the `fmt::Show` trait allows
incremental buildup in the same heap allocated buffer. Additionally, the
`fmt::Show` trait is much more extensible in terms of interoperation with other
`Writer` instances and in more situations. By design the `ToStr` trait requires
at least one allocation whereas the `fmt::Show` trait does not require any
allocations.

These two containers are indeed collections, so their place is in
libcollections, not in libstd. There will always be a hash map as part of the
standard distribution of Rust, but by moving it out of the standard library it
makes libstd that much more portable to more platforms and environments.
This conveniently also removes the stuttering of 'std::hashmap::HashMap',
although 'collections::HashMap' is only one character shorter.
Closes#12366.
Parentheses around assignment statements such as
let mut a = (0);
a = (1);
a += (2);
are not necessary and therefore an unnecessary_parens warning is raised when
statements like this occur.
The warning mechanism was refactored along the way to allow for code reuse
between the routines for checking expressions and statements.
Code had to be adopted throughout the compiler and standard libraries to comply
with this modification of the lint.
This patch replaces all `crate` usage with `krate` before introducing the
new keyword. This ensures that after introducing the keyword, there
won't be any compilation errors.
krate might not be the most expressive substitution for crate but it's a
very close abbreviation for it. `module` was already used in several
places already.
