in most cases, just the error message changed, but in some cases we
are reporting new errors that OUGHT to have been reported before but
we're overlooked (mostly involving the `'static` bound on `Send`).
region binding at the impl site, so for method types that come from impls,
it is necessary to liberate/instantiate late-bound regions at multiple
depths.
Various miscellaneous changes pushing towards HRTB support:
1. Update parser and adjust ast to support `for<'a,'b>` syntax, both in closures and trait bounds. Warn on the old syntax (not error, for stage0).
2. Refactor TyTrait representation to include a TraitRef.
3. Purge `once_fns` feature gate and `once` keyword.
r? @pcwalton
This is a [breaking-change]:
- The `once_fns` feature is now officially deprecated. Rewrite using normal closures or unboxed closures.
- The new `for`-based syntax now issues warnings (but not yet errors):
- `fn<'a>(T) -> U` becomes `for<'a> fn(T) -> U`
- `<'a> |T| -> U` becomes `for<'a> |T| -> U`
I wanted to embed an `Rc<TraitRef>`, but I was foiled by the current
static rules, which prohibit non-Sync values from being stored in
static locations. This means that the constants for `ty_int` and so
forth cannot be initialized.
- When selecting an implicit trait impl for an unboxed closure, plumb
through and use the substitutions from impl selection instead of
using those from the current param environment in trans, which may
be incorrect.
- When generating a function declaration for an unboxed closure, plumb
through the substitutions from the param environment of the closure
as above. Also normalize the type to avoid generating duplicate
declarations due to regions being inconsistently replaced with
ReStatic elsewhere.
- Do not place the closure type in the self param space when
translating the unboxed closure callee, etc. It is not actually
used, and doing so conflicts with the self substitution from
default trait methods.

This adds a `Substs` field to `ty_unboxed_closure` and plumbs basic
handling of it throughout the compiler. trans now correctly
monomorphizes captured free variables and llvm function defs. This
fixes uses of unboxed closures which reference a free type or region
parameter from their environment in either their signature or free
variables. Closes#16791
Change to resolve and update compiler and libs for uses.
[breaking-change]
Enum variants are now in both the value and type namespaces. This means that
if you have a variant with the same name as a type in scope in a module, you
will get a name clash and thus an error. The solution is to either rename the
type or the variant.
The implementation essentially desugars during type collection and AST
type conversion time into the parameter scheme we have now. Only fully
qualified names--e.g. `<T as Foo>::Bar`--are supported.
lifetime bounds. This doesn't really cause any difficulties, because
we already had to accommodate the fact that multiple implicit bounds
could accumulate. Object types still require precisely one lifetime
bound. This is a pre-step towards generalized where clauses (once you
have lifetime bounds in where clauses, it is harder to restrict them
to exactly one).
[breaking-change]
1. The internal layout for traits has changed from (vtable, data) to (data, vtable). If you were relying on this in unsafe transmutes, you might get some very weird and apparently unrelated errors. You should not be doing this! Prefer not to do this at all, but if you must, you should use raw::TraitObject rather than hardcoding rustc's internal representation into your code.
2. The minimal type of reference-to-vec-literals (e.g., `&[1, 2, 3]`) is now a fixed size vec (e.g., `&[int, ..3]`) where it used to be an unsized vec (e.g., `&[int]`). If you want the unszied type, you must explicitly give the type (e.g., `let x: &[_] = &[1, 2, 3]`). Note in particular where multiple blocks must have the same type (e.g., if and else clauses, vec elements), the compiler will not coerce to the unsized type without a hint. E.g., `[&[1], &[1, 2]]` used to be a valid expression of type '[&[int]]'. It no longer type checks since the first element now has type `&[int, ..1]` and the second has type &[int, ..2]` which are incompatible.
3. The type of blocks (including functions) must be coercible to the expected type (used to be a subtype). Mostly this makes things more flexible and not less (in particular, in the case of coercing function bodies to the return type). However, in some rare cases, this is less flexible. TBH, I'm not exactly sure of the exact effects. I think the change causes us to resolve inferred type variables slightly earlier which might make us slightly more restrictive. Possibly it only affects blocks with unreachable code. E.g., `if ... { fail!(); "Hello" }` used to type check, it no longer does. The fix is to add a semicolon after the string.
This patch primarily does two things: (1) it prevents lifetimes from
leaking out of unboxed closures; (2) it allows unboxed closure type
notation, call notation, and construction notation to construct closures
matching any of the three traits.
This breaks code that looked like:
let mut f;
{
let x = &5i;
f = |&mut:| *x + 10;
}
Change this code to avoid having a reference escape. For example:
{
let x = &5i;
let mut f; // <-- move here to avoid dangling reference
f = |&mut:| *x + 10;
}
I believe this is enough to consider unboxed closures essentially
implemented. Further issues (for example, higher-rank lifetimes) should
be filed as followups.
Closes#14449.

Use ty_rptr/ty_uniq(ty_trait) rather than TraitStore to represent trait types.
Also addresses (but doesn't close) #12470.
Part of the work towards DST (#12938).
[breaking-change] lifetime parameters in `&mut trait` are now invariant. They used to be contravariant.
parameters
This involves numerous substeps:
1. Treat Self same as any other parameter.
2. No longer compute offsets for method parameters.
3. Store all generic types (both trait/impl and method) with a method,
eliminating odd discrepancies.
4. Stop doing unspeakable things to static methods and instead just use
the natural types, now that we can easily add the type parameters from
trait into the method's polytype.
5. No doubt some more. It was hard to separate these into distinct commits.
Fixes#13564
As part of #5527 I had to make some changes here and I just couldn't take it anymore. Refactor the writeback code. Should be functionally equivalent to the old stuff.
r? @pcwalton
for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.
[breaking-change]
Similar to my recent changes to ~[T]/&[T], these changes remove the vstore abstraction and represent str types as ~(str) and &(str). The Option<uint> in ty_str is the length of the string, None if the string is dynamically sized.
Refactores all uses of ty_vec and associated things to remove the vstore abstraction (still used for strings, for now). Pointers to vectors are stored as ty_rptr or ty_uniq wrapped around a ty_vec. There are no user-facing changes. Existing behaviour is preserved by special-casing many instances of pointers containing vectors. Hopefully with DST most of these hacks will go away. For now it is useful to leave them hanging around rather than abstracting them into a method or something.
Closes#13554.
