trans was failing with a bounds check error because the caller
was using the declared type (an out-of-scope ty param) and not
the actual type in a list of argument types to zero.
Closes#811
This is the new way to refer to tasks in rust-land. Currently all they
do is serve as a key to look up the old rust_task structure. Ideally
they won't be ref counted, but baby steps.
Previously, typestate was initializing the init constraint for
a declared-but-not-initialized variable (like x in "let x;") to False,
but other constraints to Don't-know. This led to over-lenient results
when a variable was used before declaration (see the included test
case). Now, everything gets initialized to False in the prestate/poststate-
finding phase, and Don't-know should only be used in pre/postconditions.
This aspect of the algorithm really needs formalization (just on paper),
but for now, this closes#700
typeck::check_fn had an exception for the case where the tail expr
was compatible with type nil -- in that case, it doesn't unify the
tail expr's type with the enclosing function's result type. This
seems wrong to me. There are several test cases in Issue #719
that illustrate why. If the tail expr has type T, for some type
variable T that isn't resolved when this check happens, then T
never gets unified with anything, which is incorrect -- T should
be unified with the result type of the enclosing function. (The
bug was occurring because an unconstrained type variable is
compatible with type nil.)
Instead, I removed the check for type nil and added a check that
the function isn't an iterator -- if it's an iterator, I don't
check the tail expr's type against the function result type,
as that wouldn't make sense.
However, this broke two test cases, and after discussion with
brson, I understood that the purpose of the check was to allow
semicolons to be omitted in some cases. The whole thing seems
rather ad hoc. But I came up with a hacky compromise solution:
instead of checking whether the tailexpr type is *compatible*
with nil, we now just check whether it *is* nil. This also
necessitates calling resolve_type_vars_if_possible before
the check happens, which worries me. But, this fixes the bug
from Issue #719 without requiring changes to any test cases.
Closes#719 but I didn't try every variation -- so reopen the bug
if one of the variations still doesn't work.
Return the result of the discriminant from trans_alt,
rather than nil, in the _|_ case. This was breaking the
enclosed test case (alt-bot-2) when optimization was disabled.
Closes#769
In the writeback phase, the typechecker now checks that it isn't
replacing a type variable T with a type that contains T. It
also does an occurs check in do_autoderef in order to avoid
getting into an infinite chain of derefs.
I'm a bit worried that there are more places where the occurs
check needs to happen where I'm not doing it now, though.
Closes#768
The way pipes work in windows is not the same as unix, though I'm not
entirely clear on the differences. This patch changes the windows pipe
method to return non-inheritable fds, and the windows rust_run_program
method to duplicate them before spawning the new process.
This allows make-check-pretty to work on windows.
This reverts commit ea81c03960.
Changed the case in trans_if where the conditional is _|_ - typed
but the block is terminated to return the result of the cond,
instead of nil.
This passes "make check" with optimization disabled as well as
enabled.
While it is still technically possible to test stage 0, it is not part of any
of the main testing rules and maintaining xfail-stage0 is a chore. Nobody
should worry about how tests fare in stage0.
