This adds a lint mode for detecting unnecessary allocations on the heap. This isn't super fancy, currently it only has two rules
1. For a function's arguments, if you allocate a `[~|@]str` literal, when the type of the argument is a `&str`, emit a warning.
2. For the same case, emit warnings for boxed vectors when slices are required.
After adding the lint, I rampaged through the libraries and removed all the unnecessary allocations I could find.
signature. In a nutshell, the idea is to (1) report an error if, for
a region pointer `'a T`, the lifetime `'a` is longer than any
lifetimes that appear in `T` (in other words, if a borrowed pointer
outlives any portion of its contents) and then (2) use this to assume
that in a function like `fn(self: &'a &'b T)`, the relationship `'a <=
'b` holds. This is needed for #5656. Fixes#5728.
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.
LinearMap is quite a bit faster, and is fully owned/sendable without
requiring copies. The older std::map also doesn't use explicit self and
relies on mutable fields.
Changes:
- Refactor move mode computation
- Removes move mode arguments, unary move, capture clauses
(though they still parse for backwards compatibility)
- Simplify how moves are handled in trans
- Fix a number of illegal copies that cropped up
- Workaround for bug involving def-ids in params
(see details below)
Future work (I'll open bugs for these...):
- Improve error messages for moves that are due
to bindings
- Add support for moving owned content like a.b.c
to borrow check, test in trans (but I think it'll
"just work")
- Proper fix for def-ids in params
Def ids in params:
Move captures into a map instead of recomputing.
This is a workaround for a larger bug having to do with the def-ids associated
with ty_params, which are not always properly preserved when inlining. I am
not sure of my preferred fix for the larger bug yet. This current fix removes
the only code in trans that I know of which relies on ty_param def-ids, but
feels fragile.
