It takes a lot of boilerplate to create a task and establish a way to talk to
it. This function simplifies that, allowing you to write something like
'worker(f).chan <| start'. Implementation is very unsafe and only works for a
few types of channels, but something like this is very useful.
This replaces the make-based test runner with a set of Rust-based test
runners. I believe that all existing functionality has been
preserved. The primary objective is to dogfood the Rust test
framework.
A few main things happen here:
1) The run-pass/lib-* tests are all moved into src/test/stdtest. This
is a standalone test crate intended for all standard library tests. It
compiles to build/test/stdtest.stageN.
2) rustc now compiles into yet another build artifact, this one a test
runner that runs any tests contained directly in the rustc crate. This
allows much more fine-grained unit testing of the compiler. It
compiles to build/test/rustctest.stageN.
3) There is a new custom test runner crate at src/test/compiletest
that reproduces all the functionality for running the compile-fail,
run-fail, run-pass and bench tests while integrating with Rust's test
framework. It compiles to build/test/compiletest.stageN.
4) The build rules have been completely changed to use the new test
runners, while also being less redundant, following the example of the
recent stageN.mk rewrite.
It adds two new features to the cfail/rfail/rpass/bench tests:
1) Tests can specify multiple 'error-pattern' directives which must be
satisfied in order.
2) Tests can specify a 'compile-flags' directive which will make the
test runner provide additional command line arguments to rustc.
There are some downsides, the primary being that Rust has to be
functioning pretty well just to run _any_ tests, which I imagine will
be the source of some frustration when the entire test suite
breaks. Will also cause some headaches during porting.
Not having individual make rules, each rpass, etc test no longer
remembers between runs whether it completed successfully. As a result,
it's not possible to incrementally fix multiple tests by just running
'make check', fixing a test, and repeating without re-running all the
tests contained in the test runner. Instead you can filter just the
tests you want to run by using the TESTNAME environment variable.
This also dispenses with the ability to run stage0 tests, but they
tended to be broken more often than not anyway.
Updated the MapReduce protocol so that it's correct more often. It's
still not perfect, but the bugs repro less often now.
Also found a race condition in channel sending. The problem is that
send and receive both need to refer to the _unread field in
circular_buffer. For now I just grabbed the port lock to send. We can
probably get around this by using atomics instead.
This meant most of the generic-ness of it had to go away, since our
type system doesn't quite support it yet. Hopefully someday...
This version has lots of memory management errors. My next commit will
hopefully fix these.
We're trying to get closer to doing correct move semantics for channel
operations. This involves a lot of cleanup (such as removing the
unused sched parameter from rust_vec constructor) and making
circular_buffer kernel_owned.
Added tagging for memory allocations. This means we give a string tag
to everything we allocate. If we leak something and TRACK_ALLOCATIONS
is enabled, then it's much easier now to tell exactly what is leaking.
I'm not sure if this is because of changes to glue generation in the
last few days while I've been working on other things, or if it's a
side effect of the improvements I made to typechecking for anonymous
objects, or something else, but I guess I'll take it!
Closes issue #543.
Programs with constrained types now parse and typecheck, but
typestate doesn't check them specially, so the one relevant test
case so far is XFAILed.
Also rewrote all of the constraint-related data structures in the
process (again), for some reason. I got rid of a superfluous
data structure in the context that was mapping front-end constraints
to resolved constraints, instead handling constraints in the same
way in which everything else gets resolved.
This reverts commit 8c94d8fd54.
There's no mechanism to actually return the value from main, so all this does
is allow main -> int to compile. Per #688, the program returns non-zero on
failure, so it's not obvious that this change is appropriate at this time.
ret is similar to fail: if not followed by an expression, it
should be parsed as a ret without an argument. The old version would
fail if ret was followed by a close paren (for example). Fixed it.
Closes#676.
Capturing a type argument in the enclosing scope should be an error --
this commit implements that check in resolve, avoiding a potential
assertion failure in trans.
Closes#648.
Typestate was failing to check some code because if it saw an item,
it would quit immediately. This was to avoid checking nested items
in the same context as the lexically enclosing item, but it was
having the wrong effect: not checking the code after the item at all.
Fixed by switching to visit and skipping over items in a proper
nested fashion. Closes#668.
A check in trans didn't have a corresponding check in typeck, causing
some programs (to wit, compile-fail/chan-parameterized-args.rs - part of this
commit) to fail with an assertion failure in trans instead of a type error.
Fixed it. In short, arguments that are future thunk arguments (any spawn
arguments, and _ arguments in bind) need to either not contain type params
or type vars, or be by-reference.
Closes#665.
Currently it's only sequential, but it can do word frequency
counting. In an ideal world it would all be polymorphic, but that
pushes the limits of our type system right now. We can generalize it
later.
You can now say
expr_move(?dst, ?src) | expr_assign(?dst, ?src) { ... }
to match both expr_move and expr_assign. The names, types, and number
of bound names have to match in all the patterns.
Closes#449.
trans::trans_lval will now autobind if the given expression was the
name of a generic functions. Those callees (trans_call and trans_bind)
that are interested in the generics information call trans_lval_gen
now.
