1. The internal layout for traits has changed from (vtable, data) to (data, vtable). If you were relying on this in unsafe transmutes, you might get some very weird and apparently unrelated errors. You should not be doing this! Prefer not to do this at all, but if you must, you should use raw::TraitObject rather than hardcoding rustc's internal representation into your code.
2. The minimal type of reference-to-vec-literals (e.g., `&[1, 2, 3]`) is now a fixed size vec (e.g., `&[int, ..3]`) where it used to be an unsized vec (e.g., `&[int]`). If you want the unszied type, you must explicitly give the type (e.g., `let x: &[_] = &[1, 2, 3]`). Note in particular where multiple blocks must have the same type (e.g., if and else clauses, vec elements), the compiler will not coerce to the unsized type without a hint. E.g., `[&[1], &[1, 2]]` used to be a valid expression of type '[&[int]]'. It no longer type checks since the first element now has type `&[int, ..1]` and the second has type &[int, ..2]` which are incompatible.
3. The type of blocks (including functions) must be coercible to the expected type (used to be a subtype). Mostly this makes things more flexible and not less (in particular, in the case of coercing function bodies to the return type). However, in some rare cases, this is less flexible. TBH, I'm not exactly sure of the exact effects. I think the change causes us to resolve inferred type variables slightly earlier which might make us slightly more restrictive. Possibly it only affects blocks with unreachable code. E.g., `if ... { fail!(); "Hello" }` used to type check, it no longer does. The fix is to add a semicolon after the string.
Stop read+write expressions from expanding into two occurences
in the AST. Add a bool to indicate whether an operand in output
position if read+write or not.
Fixes#14936
These `where` clauses are accepted everywhere generics are currently
accepted and desugar during type collection to the type parameter bounds
we have today.
A new keyword, `where`, has been added. Therefore, this is a breaking
change. Change uses of `where` to other identifiers.

methods.
This paves the way to associated items by introducing an extra level of
abstraction ("impl-or-trait item") between traits/implementations and
methods. This new abstraction is encoded in the metadata and used
throughout the compiler where appropriate.
There are no functional changes; this is purely a refactoring.
This patch primarily does two things: (1) it prevents lifetimes from
leaking out of unboxed closures; (2) it allows unboxed closure type
notation, call notation, and construction notation to construct closures
matching any of the three traits.
This breaks code that looked like:
let mut f;
{
let x = &5i;
f = |&mut:| *x + 10;
}
Change this code to avoid having a reference escape. For example:
{
let x = &5i;
let mut f; // <-- move here to avoid dangling reference
f = |&mut:| *x + 10;
}
I believe this is enough to consider unboxed closures essentially
implemented. Further issues (for example, higher-rank lifetimes) should
be filed as followups.
Closes#14449.

This partially implements RFC 38. A snapshot will be needed to turn this

Part of #12381.
meaning `'b outlives 'a`. Syntax currently does nothing but is needed for full
fix to #5763. To use this syntax, the issue_5763_bootstrap feature guard is
required.
Prior to this, the code there had a few issues:
- Default implementations inconsistently either had the prefix `noop_` or
not.
- Some default methods where implemented in terms of a public noop function
for user code to call, others where implemented directly on the trait
and did not allow users of the trait to reuse the code.
- Some of the default implementations where private, and thus not reusable
for other implementors.
- There where some bugs where default implementations called other default
implementations directly, rather than to the underlying Folder, with the
result of some AST nodes never being visited even if the user implemented that
method. (For example, the current Folder never folded struct fields)
This commit solves this situation somewhat radically by making _all_
`fold_...` functions in the module into Folder methods, and implementing
them all in terms of public `noop_...` functions for other implementors to
call out to.
Some public functions had to be renamed to fit the new system, so this is a
breaking change.

This eliminates the last vestige of the `~` syntax.
Instead of `~self`, write `self: Box<TypeOfSelf>`; instead of `mut
~self`, write `mut self: Box<TypeOfSelf>`, replacing `TypeOfSelf` with
the self-type parameter as specified in the implementation.
Closes#13885.

In f1ad425199, I changed the handling
of macros, to prevent macro invocations from occurring in fully expanded
source. Instead, I added a side table. It contained only the
spans of the macros, because this was the only information required
in order to make macro export work.
However, librustdoc was also affected by this change, since it
extracts macro information in a similar way. As a result of the earlier
change, exported macros were no longer documented.
In order to repair this, I've adjusted the side table to contain whole
items, rather than just the spans.
except where trait objects are involved.
Part of issue #15349, though I'm leaving it open for trait objects.
Cross borrowing for trait objects remains because it is needed until we
have DST.
This will break code like:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(a);
Change this code to:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(&*a);

This makes two changes to region inference: (1) it allows region
inference to relate early-bound regions; and (2) it allows regions to be
related before variance runs. The former is needed because there is no
relation between the two regions before region substitution happens,
while the latter is needed because type collection has to run before
variance. We assume that, before variance is inferred, that lifetimes
are invariant. This is a conservative overapproximation.
This relates to #13885. This does not remove `~self` from the language
yet, however.

This change propagates to many locations, but because of the
Macro Exterminator (or, more properly, the invariant that it
protects), macro invocations can't occur downstream of expansion.
This means that in librustc and librustdoc, extracting the
desired field can simply assume that it can't be a macro
invocation. Functions in ast_util abstract over this check.
macros can expand into arbitrary items, exprs, etc. This
means that using a default walker or folder on an AST before
macro expansion is complete will miss things (the things that
the macros expand into). As a partial fence against this, this
commit moves the default traversal of macros into a separate
procedure, and makes the default trait implementation signal
an error. This means that Folders and Visitors can traverse
macros if they want to, but they need to explicitly add an
impl that calls the walk_mac or fold_mac procedure
This should prevent problems down the road.
Per discussion with @sfackler, refactored the expander to
change the way that exported macros are collected. Specifically,
a crate now contains a side table of spans that exported macros
go into.
This has two benefits. First, the encoder doesn't need to scan through
the expanded crate in order to discover exported macros. Second, the
expander can drop all expanded macros from the crate, with the pleasant
result that a fully expanded crate contains no macro invocations (which
include macro definitions).
formerly, the self identifier was being discarded during parsing, which
stymies hygiene. The best fix here seems to be to attach a self identifier
to ExplicitSelf_, a change that rippled through the rest of the compiler,
but without any obvious damage.
This updates https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15075.
Rename `ToStr::to_str` to `ToString::to_string`. The naive renaming ends up with two `to_string` functions defined on strings in the prelude (the other defined via `collections::str::StrAllocating`). To remedy this I removed `StrAllocating::to_string`, making all conversions from `&str` to `String` go through `Show`. This has a measurable impact on the speed of this conversion, but the sense I get from others is that it's best to go ahead and unify `to_string` and address performance for all `to_string` conversions in `core::fmt`. `String::from_str(...)` still works as a manual fast-path.
Note that the patch was done with a script, and ended up renaming a number of other `*_to_str` functions, particularly inside of rustc. All the ones I saw looked correct, and I didn't notice any additional API breakage.

[breaking-change] Use `Sized?` to indicate a dynamically sized type parameter or trait (used to be `type`). E.g.,
```
trait Tr for Sized? {}
fn foo<Sized? X: Share>(x: X) {}
```
Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains
a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code
where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically---
a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation
to some really nasty bugs.
This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident
and a span.
This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.

All of these features have been obsolete since February 2014, where most have
been obsolete since 2013. There shouldn't be any more need to keep around the
parser hacks after this length of time.
This PR is primarily motivated by (and fixes) #12926.
We currently only have a span for the individual item itself and not for the referred contents. This normally does not cause a problem since both are located in the same file; it *is* possible that the contained statement or item is located in the other file (the syntax extension can do that), but even in that case the syntax extension should be located in the same file as the item. The module item (i.e. `mod foo;`) is the only exception here, and thus warrants a special treatment.
Rustdoc would now distinguish `mod foo;` from `mod foo {...}` by checking if the span for the module item and module contents is in different files. If it's the case, we'd prefer module contents over module item. There are alternative strategies, but as noted above we will have some corner cases if we don't record the contents span explicitly.
this is useful when the module item and module contents are defined
from different files (like rustdoc). in most cases the original span
for the module item would be used; in other cases, the span for
module contents is available separately at the `inner` field.
it reflected the obsolete syntax `use a, b, c;` and did not make
past the parser (though it was a non-fatal error so we can continue).
this legacy affected many portions of rustc and rustdoc as well,
so this commit cleans them up altogether.
Specifically, the method parameter cardinality mismatch or missing
method error message span now gets method itself exactly. It was the
whole expression.

Part of this required added an override of `fold_type_method` in the
Folder for Ctx impl; it follows the same pattern as `fold_method`.
Also, as a drive-by fix, I moved all of the calls to `folder.new_id`
in syntax::fold's no-op default traversal to really be the first
statement in each function.
* This is to uphold the invariant that `folder.new_id` is always
called first (an unfortunate requirement of the current `ast_map`
code), an invariant that we seemingly were breaking in e.g. the
previous `noop_fold_block`.
* Now it should be easier to see when adding new code that this
invariant must be upheld.
* (note that the breakage in `noop_fold_block` may not have mattered
so much previously, since the only thing that blocks can bind are
lifetimes, which I am only adding support for now.)
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 was leaving Decls without the new spans; this is a minor change,
since literally nothing reads in the code base reads the span of a Decl
itself, always just its contents.
The pretty printer constitues an enormous amount of code, there's no reason for
it to be generic. This just least to a huge amount of metadata which isn't
necessary. Instead, this change migrates the pretty printer to using a trait
object instead.
Closes#12985
This commit removes all internal support for the previously used __log_level()
expression. The logging subsystem was previously modified to not rely on this
magical expression. This also removes the only other function to use the
module_data map in trans, decl_gc_metadata. It appears that this is an ancient
function from a GC only used long ago.
This does not remove the crate map entirely, as libgreen still uses it to hook
in to the event loop provided by libgreen.
There is a broader revision (that does this across the board) pending
in #12675, but that is awaiting the arrival of more data (to decide
whether to keep OptVec alive by using a non-Vec internally).
For this code, the representation of lifetime lists needs to be the
same in both ScopeChain and in the ast and ty structures. So it
seemed cleanest to just use `vec_ng::Vec`, now that it has a cheaper
empty representation than the current `vec` code.
Previously `ast::Arm` was always storing a single `ast::Expr` wrapped in an
`ast::Block` (for historical reasons, AIUI), so we might as just store
that expr directly.
Closes#3085.
Makes labelled loops hygiene by performing renaming of the labels
defined in e.g. `'x: loop { ... }` and then used in break and continue

macros.
Closes#12262.
This patch replaces all `crate` usage with `krate` before introducing the
new keyword. This ensures that after introducing the keyword, there
won't be any compilation errors.
krate might not be the most expressive substitution for crate but it's a
very close abbreviation for it. `module` was already used in several
places already.
