This is the first of a series of refactorings to get rid of the `codemap::spanned<T>` struct (see this thread for more information: https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-July/004798.html).
The changes in this PR should not change any semantics, just rename `ast::blk_` to `ast::blk` and add a span field to it. 95% of the changes were of the form `block.node.id` -> `block.id`. Only some transformations in `libsyntax::fold` where not entirely trivial.
Whenever a lang_item is required, some relevant message is displayed, often with
a span of what triggered the usage of the lang item.
Now "hello word" is as small as:
```rust
#[no_std];
extern {
fn puts(s: *u8);
}
extern "rust-intrinsic" {
fn transmute<T, U>(t: T) -> U;
}
#[start]
fn main(_: int, _: **u8, _: *u8) -> int {
unsafe {
let (ptr, _): (*u8, uint) = transmute("Hello!");
puts(ptr);
}
return 0;
}
```
Also, makes the pretty-printer use & instead of @ as much as possible,
which will help with later changes, though in the interim has produced
some... interesting constructs.
After getting an ICE trying to use the `Repr` enum from middle::trans::adt (see issue #7527), I tried to implement the missing case for struct-like enum variants in `middle::ty::enum_variants()`. It seems to work now (and passes make check) but there are still some uncertainties that bother me:
+ I'm not sure I did everything, right. Especially getting the variant constructor function from the variant node id is just copied from the tuple-variant case. Someone with more experience in the code base should be able to see rather quickly whether this OK so.
+ It is kind of strange that I could not reproduce the ICE with a smaller test case. The unimplemented code path never seems to be hit in most cases, even when using the exact same `Repr` enum, just with `ty::t` replaced by an opaque pointer. Also, within the `adt` module, `Repr` and matching on it is used multiple times, again without running into problems. Can anyone explain why this is the case? That would be much appreciated.
Apart from that, I hope this PR is useful.
I think it's WIP - but I wanted to ask for feedback (/cc @thestinger)
I had to move the impl of FromIter for vec into extra::iter because I don't think std can depend on extra, but that's a bit messed up. Similarly some FromIter uses are gone now, not sure if this is fixable or if I made a complete mess here..
Mostly just low-haning fruit, i.e. function arguments that were @ even
though & would work just as well.
