Blocks return in a copy of the result of their ending expression, not the
direct result of the ending expression, as that may be a local variable which
gets zeroed by drop_slot.
* Reorganized typestate into several modules.
* Made typestate check that any function with a non-nil return type
returns a value. For now, the check is a warning and not an error
(see next item).
* Added a "bot" type (prettyprinted as _|_), for constructs like be, ret, break, cont, and
fail that don't locally return a value that can be inspected. "bot"
is distinct from "nil". There is no concrete syntax for _|_, while
the concrete syntax for the nil type is ().
* Added support to the parser for a ! annotation on functions whose
result type is _|_. Such a function is required to have either a
fail or a call to another ! function that is reached in all control
flow paths. The point of this annotation is to mark functions like
unimpl() and span_err(), so that an alt with a call to err() in one
case isn't a false positive for the return-value checker. I haven't
actually annotated anything with it yet.
* Random bugfixes:
* * Fixed bug in trans::trans_binary that was throwing away the
cleanups for nested subexpressions of an and or or
(tests: box-inside-if and box-inside-if2).
** In typeck, unify the expected type arguments of a tag with the
actual specified arguments.
The verifier was not liking this when generating unoptimized bitcode. Per LLVM
docs it is not valid for function declarations to be marked internal, but
their implementations may be.
One step closer to removing fold and having a single, immutable AST.
Resolve still uses fold, because it has to detect and transform
expr_field expressions. If we go through on our plan of moving to a
different syntax for module dereferencing, the parser can spit out
expr_field expressions, and resolve can move to walk.
(I am truly sorry for the things I did in typestate_check.rs. I expect
we'll want to change that to walk as well in the near future, at which
point it should probably pass around a context record, which could
hold the def_map.)
This way, the tag assigned by the parser stays with the node.
I realize ann replacing is probably going away real soon, but
I needed this now for moving the resolve defs out of the AST.
* Cleans up the algorithm
* Move first pass to walk (second still folds)
* Support part of a type/value namespace split
(crate metadata and module indices still need to be taught about this)
* Remove a few blatant inefficiencies (import tables being recreated for
every lookup, most importantly)
and rust_exit_task_glue calls the rust main.
This is simpler since we only need to setup one frame. It also matches
what ld.so does, so gdb is happy and stops a backtrace at rust_exit_task_glue
instead of continuing past whatever function happened to be before
rust_exit_task_glue is the object file.
This is only the rustc changes and should be merged first.
This ensures we don't get compile errors on unreachable code (see
test/run-pass/artificial-block.rs for an example of sane code that
wasn't compiling). In the future, we might want to warn about
non-trivial code appearing in an unreachable context, and/or avoid
generating unreachable code altogether (though I'm sure LLVM will weed
it out as well).
There was some confusion on whether the destructors took their
argument by pointer or direct value. They now take it directly, just
like other methods. You no longer get a segfault when a constructor
actually does something with its self value.
