The (temporary) syntax is
iface seq<T> {
fn len() -> uint;
fn iter(f: block(T));
}
// The 'blah<T>' can be left of to default the name of the
// impl to seq<T>. The 'of seq<T>' can be left off when
// not implementing a named interface.
impl blah<T> of seq<T> for [T] {
fn len() -> uint { vec::len(self) }
fn iter(f: block(T)) { for x in self { f(x); } }
}
This involved adding 'copy' to more generics than I hoped, but an
experiment with making it implicit showed that that way lies madness --
unless enforced, you will not remember to mark functions that don't
copy as not requiring copyable kind.
Issue #1177
You almost never want a function with pinned type params. For
types, objects, resources, and tags, pinned types are actually often
more sane. For most of these, shared rarely makes sense. Only tricky
case is objs -- you'll have to think about the kinds you want there.
Issue #1076
src/comp/syntax is currently just a sub-module of rustc, but it will,
in the near future, be its own crate. This includes:
- The AST data structure
- The parser
- The pretty-printer
- Visit, walk, and fold
- The syntax extension system
- Some utility stuff that should be in the stdlib*
*) Stdlib extensions currently require a snapshot before they can be
used, and the win build is very broken right now. This is temporary
and will be cleaned up when one of those problems goes away.
A lot of code was moved by this patch, mostly towards a more organized
layout. Some package paths did get longer, and I guess the new layout
will take some getting used to. Sorry about that!
Please try not to re-introduce any dependencies in syntax/ on any of
the other src/comp/ subdirs.
It would be better to either convert ast_map to use smallintmap or make
smallintmap and hashmap follow the same interface, but I don't feel up to
it just now. Closes#585.
This reduces some redundancy in the AST data structures and cruft in
the code that works with them. To get a def_id from a node_id, apply
ast::local_def, which adds the local crate_num to the given node_id.
Most code only deals with crate-local node_ids, and won't have to
create def_ids at all.
