Recursive items are currently detected in the `check_const` pass which runs after type checking. This means a recursive static item used as an array length will cause type checking to blow the stack. This PR separates the recursion check out into a separate pass which is run before type checking.
Closes issue #17252
r? @nick29581
This new pass is run before type checking so that recursive items
are detected beforehand. This prevents going into an infinite
recursion during type checking when a recursive item is used in
an array type.
As a bonus, use `span_err` instead of `span_fatal` so multiple
errors can be reported.
Closes issue #17252
declared with the same name in the same scope.
This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:
use foo::bar;
use baz::bar;
Change this code to the following:
use baz::bar;
Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:
use foo::*; // including `bar`
use baz::bar;
Change this code to remove the glob:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz::bar;
Or qualify all uses of `bar`:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz;
... baz::bar ...
Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.
extern crate std;
Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.
The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.
This implements RFC #116.
Closes#16464.

Our implementation of ebml has diverged from the standard in order
to better serve the needs of the compiler, so it doesn't make much
sense to call what we have ebml anyore. Furthermore, our implementation
is pretty crufty, and should eventually be rewritten into a format
that better suits the needs of the compiler. This patch factors out
serialize::ebml into librbml, otherwise known as the Really Bad
Markup Language. This is a stopgap library that shouldn't be used
by end users, and will eventually be replaced by something better.

This is accomplished by rewriting static expressions into equivalent patterns.
This way, patterns referencing static variables can both participate
in exhaustiveness analysis as well as be compiled down into the appropriate
branch of the decision trees that match expressions are codegened to.

We're going to have more modules under lint, and the paths get unwieldy. We
also plan to have lints run at multiple points in the compilation pipeline.
The aim of these changes is not working out a generic bi-endianness architectures support but to allow people develop for little endian MIPS machines (issue #7190).
