Most notably, this commit changes the `pub use crate::*;` in that file
to `use crate::*;`. This requires a lot of `use` items in other crates
to be adjusted, because everything defined within `rustc_span::*` was
also available via `rustc_span::source_map::*`, which is bizarre.
The commit also removes `SourceMap::span_to_relative_line_string`, which
is unused.
Each of `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}` has a comment:
```
// FIXME(davidtwco): can a `Cow<'static, str>` be used here?
```
This commit answers that question in the affirmative. It's not the most
compelling change ever, but it might be worth merging.
This requires changing the `impl<'a> From<&'a str>` impls to `impl
From<&'static str>`, which involves a bunch of knock-on changes that
require/result in call sites being a little more precise about exactly
what kind of string they use to create errors, and not just `&str`. This
will result in fewer unnecessary allocations, though this will not have
any notable perf effects given that these are error paths.
Note that I was lazy within Clippy, using `to_string` in a few places to
preserve the existing string imprecision. I could have used `impl
Into<{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage>` in various places as is done in the
compiler, but that would have required changes to *many* call sites
(mostly changing `&format("...")` to `format!("...")`) which didn't seem
worthwhile.
`SourceFile::lines` is a big part of metadata. It's stored in a compressed form
(a difference list) to save disk space. Decoding it is a big fraction of
compile time for very small crates/programs.
This commit introduces a new type `SourceFileLines` which has a `Lines`
form and a `Diffs` form. The latter is used when the metadata is first
read, and it is only decoded into the `Lines` form when line data is
actually needed. This avoids the decoding cost for many files,
especially in `std`. It's a performance win of up to 15% for tiny
crates/programs where metadata decoding is a high part of compilation
costs.
A `Lock` is needed because the methods that access lines data (which can
trigger decoding) take `&self` rather than `&mut self`. To allow for this,
`SourceFile::lines` now takes a `FnMut` that operates on the lines slice rather
than returning the lines slice.
`MultiSpan` contains labels, which are more complicated with the
introduction of diagnostic translation and will use types from
`rustc_errors` - however, `rustc_errors` depends on `rustc_span` so
`rustc_span` cannot use types like `DiagnosticMessage` without
dependency cycles. Introduce a new `rustc_error_messages` crate that can
contain `DiagnosticMessage` and `MultiSpan`.
