this will require more temporaries, but is probably less magical.
also, it means that borrowck matches trans better, so fewer crashes.
bonus.
Finally, stop warning about implicit copies when we are actually borrowing.
Also, one test (vec-res-add) stopped failing due to #2587, and hence I
added an xfail-test.
Fixes#3217, #2977, #3067
we now detect inconsistent modes, binding names, and various other errors.
typeck/trans integration is mostly done.
borrowck not so much.
more tests needed.
What we now do is to create a region variable for each &
expression (and also each borrow). The lifetime of this
variable will be checked by borrowck to ensure it is not greater
than the lifetime of the underlying data. This both leads to
shorter lifetimes in some cases but also longer in others,
such as taking the address to the interior of unique boxes
tht are rooted in region pointers (e.g., returning a pointer
to the interior of a sendable map).
This may lead to issue #2977 if the rvalue is not POD, because
we may drop the data in trans sooner than borrowck expects us
to. Need to work out precisely where that fix ought to occur.
Previously, resolve was allowing impls, traits or classes that were
nested within a fn to refer to upvars, as well as referring to type
parameters bound by the fn. Fixing this required adding a new kind of
def: def_typaram_binder, which can refer to any of an impl, trait or
class that has bound ty params. resolve uses this to enforce that
methods can refer to their parent item's type parameters, but not to
outer items' type parameters; other stages ignore it. I also made
sure that impl, trait and class methods get checked inside a
MethodRibKind thing so as to forbid upvars, and changed the definition
of MethodRibKind so that its second argument is an optional node_id
(so that required trait method signatures can be checked with a
MethodRibKind as well).
Exprs that could be applications of overloaded operators
(expr_unary, expr_binary, expr_index) relied on the previous node ID
being "reserved" to carry extra typechecking info. This was
incredibly error-prone. Fixed it; now all exprs have two node IDs
(which will be wasted in some cases; future work could make this
an option instead if the extra int field ends up being a performance
problem).
