The snapshot just failed due to a debuginfo test failing, and according to its
output at
http://buildbot.rust-lang.org/builders/snap3-linux/builds/564/steps/test/logs/stdio
it appears to be because the printed lines has a little less information than
the original lines were checking for. I would suspect that this is just because
of a slightly different version of gdb, but it's not that serious regardless.
The variant used in debug-info/method-on-enum.rs had its layout changed
by the smaller discriminant, so that the `u32` no longer overlaps both
of the `u16`s, and thus the debugger is printing partially uninitialized
data when it prints the wrong variant.
Thus, the test runner is modified to accept wildcards (using a string
that should be unlikely to occur literally), to allow for this.
It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.
Closes#6592

Progress on #7981
This doesn't completely close the issue because `struct A;` is still allowed, and it's a much larger change to disallow that. I'm also not entirely sure that we want to disallow that. Regardless, punting that discussion to the issue instead.
This is the second of two parts of #8991, now possible as a new snapshot
has been made. (The first part implemented the unreachable!() macro; it
was #8992, 6b7b8f2682.)
``std::util::unreachable()`` is removed summarily; any code which used
it should now use the ``unreachable!()`` macro.
Closes#9312.
Closes#8991.
Also fixed nasty bug caused by calling LLVMDIBuilderCreateStructType() with a null pointer where an empty array was expected (which would trigger an unintelligable assertion somewhere down the line).
This pull request includes support for generic functions and self arguments in methods, and combinations thereof. This also encompasses any kind of trait methods, regular and static, with and without default implementation. The implementation is backed up by a felt ton of test cases `:)`
This is a very important step towards being able to compile larger programs with debug info, since practically any generic function caused an ICE before.
One point worth discussing is that activating debug info now automatically (and silently) sets the `no_monomorphic_collapse` flag. Otherwise debug info would show wrong type names in all but one instance of the monomorphized function.
Another thing to note is that the handling of generic types does not strictly follow the DWARF specification. That is, variables with type `T` (where `T=int`) are described as having type `int` and not as having type `T`. In other words, we are losing information whether a variable has been declared with a type parameter as its type. In practice this should not make much of difference though since the concrete type is mostly what one is interested in. I'll post an issue later so this won't be forgotten.
Also included are a number of bug fixes:
* Closes#1758
* Closes#8513
* Closes#8443
* Fixes handling of field names in tuple structs
* Fixes and re-enables test case for option-like enums that relied on undefined behavior before
* Closes#1339 (should have been closed a while ago)
Cheers,
Michael
