This involved adding 'copy' to more generics than I hoped, but an
experiment with making it implicit showed that that way lies madness --
unless enforced, you will not remember to mark functions that don't
copy as not requiring copyable kind.
Issue #1177
Doing something like some([1, 2, 3]) will now no longer create a temporary
copy of the vector. It will also be easier for the kind checker to see that
putting a resource into a data-structure constructor is safe.
This is intended to solve the problem of how to pass arguments to
constructor functions -- you want to move in rvalues, but not have to
explicitly copy stuff that is not an rvalue. The by-copy passing
convention will ensure the callee gets its own copy of the value. For
rvalues, it'll just pass off the value. For lvalues, it'll make a
copy.
Issue #1177
This goes before a snapshot, so that subsequenct patches can make the
transition without breaking the build. Disables kind checking pass, makes
parser accept both new and old-style kind annotation.
Issue #1177
This patch changes how to specify ABI and link name of a native module.
Before:
native "cdecl" mod llvm = "rustllvm" {...}
After:
#[abi = "cdecl"]
#[link_name = "rustllvm"]
native mod llvm {...}
The old optional syntax for ABI and link name is no longer supported.
Fixes issue #547
This patch adds support of using attributes to specify native mode ABI
and link name. The old optional syntax like:
native "cdecl" mod llvm = "rustllvm" { ... }
is still supported.
This is a transitional commit to avoid making a stage1 (backward
imcompatible) snapshot.
It now threads information about invalidated aliases through the AST
properly. This makes it more permissive for conditionals (invalidating
an alias in one branch doesn't prevent you from using it in another),
and less permissive for loops (it now properly notices when a loop
invalidates an alias that it might still use in another iteration).
Closes#1144
