`RefCell::get` can be a bit surprising, because it actually clones the wrapped value. This removes `RefCell::get` and replaces all the users with `RefCell::borrow()` when it can, and `RefCell::borrow().clone()` when it can't. It removes `RefCell::set` for consistency. This closes#13182.
It also fixes an infinite loop in a test when debugging is on.
This was missed when dropping the null-termination from our string
types. An explicit null byte can still be placed anywhere in a string if
desired, but there's no reason to stick one at the end of every string
constant.
It's surprising that `RefCell::get()` is implicitly doing a clone
on a value. This patch removes it and replaces all users with
either `.borrow()` when we can autoderef, or `.borrow().clone()`
when we cannot.

This change removes the AbiSet from the AST, converting all usage to have just
one Abi value. The current scheme selects a relevant ABI given a list of ABIs
based on the target architecture and how relevant each ABI is to that
architecture.
Instead of this mildly complicated scheme, only one ABI will be allowed in abi
strings, and pseudo-abis will be created for special cases as necessary. For
example the "system" abi exists for stdcall on win32 and C on win64.
Closes#10049
This commit tightens up the restriction on types used to index slices to require
exactly `uint` indices. Previously any integral type was accepted, but this
leads to a few subtle problems:
* 64-bit indices don't make much sense on 32-bit systems
* Signed indices for slices used as negative indexing isn't implemented
This was discussed at the recent work week, and also has some discussion on
issue #10453.
Closes#10453
This commit deals with the fallout of the previous change by making tuples
structs have public fields where necessary (now that the fields are private by
default).
This is a continuation of the work done in #13184 to make struct fields private
by default. This commit finishes RFC 4 by making all tuple structs have private
fields by default. Note that enum variants are not affected.
A tuple struct having a private field means that it cannot be matched on in a
pattern match (both refutable and irrefutable), and it also cannot have a value
specified to be constructed. Similarly to private fields, switching the type of
a private field in a tuple struct should be able to be done in a backwards
compatible way.
The one snag that I ran into which wasn't mentioned in the RFC is that this
commit also forbids taking the value of a tuple struct constructor. For example,
this code now fails to compile:
mod a {
pub struct A(int);
}
let a: fn(int) -> a::A = a::A; //~ ERROR: first field is private
Although no fields are bound in this example, it exposes implementation details
through the type itself. For this reason, taking the value of a struct
constructor with private fields is forbidden (outside the containing module).
RFC: 0004-private-fields
This commit switches privacy's checking of fields to have *all* fields be
private by default. This does not yet change tuple structs, this only affects
structs with named fields. The fallout of this change will follow shortly.
