This patch series is doing a couple things with the ultimate goal of removing `#[allow(vecs_implicitly_copyable)]`, although I'm not quite there yet. The main change is passing around `@~str`s in most places, and using `ref`s in others. As far as I could tell, there are no performance changes with these patches, and all the tests pass on my mac.
r? @graydon - This is for greater uniformity (for example, macros that generate
tuples). rustc already supported 1-tuple patterns, but there was no
way to construct a 1-tuple term.
@graydon , as far as your comment on #4898 - it did turn out to be solvable inside the macro (since @luqmana already fixed it using structs instead), but I still think it's a good idea to allow 1-tuples, for uniformity. I don't think anyone is likely to trip over it, and I'm not too worried that it changes the amount of ambiguity.
These commits take the old bitv implementation and modernize it with an explicit self, some minor touchups, and using what I think is some more recent patterns (like `::new` instead of `Type()`).
Additionally, this adds an implementation of `container::Set` on top of a bit vector to have as a set of `uint`s. I initially tried to parameterize the type for the set to be `T: NumCast` but I was hitting build problems in stage0 which I think means that it's not in a snapshot yet, so it's just hardcoded as a set of `uint`s now. In the future perhaps it could be parameterized. I'm not sure if it would really add anything, though, so maybe it's nicer to be hardcoded anyway.
I also added some extra methods to do normal bit vector operations on the set in-place, but these aren't a part of the `Set` trait right now. I haven't benchmarked any of these operations just yet, but I imagine that there's quite a lot of room for optimization here and there.
This is for greater uniformity (for example, macros that generate
tuples). rustc already supported 1-tuple patterns, but there was no
way to construct a 1-tuple term.
Issue #3869
review? @nikomatsakis
Convert all uses of vec::slice to vec::view Issue #3869
Rename const_view to const_slice
Renamed mut_view to mut_slice
Fix windows build error. `buf` is borrowed by the call to
`as_mut_buf()` and so we must invoke `slice()` outside of that
call.
This is a natural extension of #4887, and handles the following three cases:
