A non-returning call should have a postcondition in which all predicates
are true -- not just a poststate. Otherwise, alt expressions where
one or more branches terminate in a non-returning call and others
initialize a variable get rejected.
Includes a test case.
Changed the typechecker to correctly typecheck the declared variable
type in a for or for-each loop against the vector element type (for
a for loop) or the iterator type (for a for-each loop). Added a
test case.
The test was meant to verify that the typechecker correctly
allows a _|_ value (break, here) to be used in any context.
However, the compiler fails with an LLVM assertion failure.
I xfailed it, but wanted it to be on the record anyway.
The typechecker had a number of special cases for unifying types
with _|_ (as with checking if and alt). But, a value of type _|_
should be usable in any context, as such a value always diverges,
and will never be used by its immediate context. Changed unify
accordingly, removed special cases.
The error message for (for example) "import vec;" without "use std;"
was "cyclic import", which was misleading because there were no
cycles. I changed it to "cyclic import or nonexistent module",
which doesn't break existing tests.
Previously, if you wrote
let @vec[int] foo = @[];
that would be a type error. That didn't seem right, so I changed
pushdown to unify the inner type in an unop application with the
argument type of the operator type.
This required quite a bit of tiresome plumbing about of spans.
On the bright side, now other errors can be converted to span_err too.
Includes test cases.
With the scheme used to translate 'else if' currently the if expression is
translated in a new (else) scope context. If that if expression wants to
result in a value that requires refcounting then it will need to drop the
refcount in the cleanups of the else block.
Blocks return in a copy of the result of their ending expression, not the
direct result of the ending expression, as that may be a local variable which
gets zeroed by drop_slot.
* Reorganized typestate into several modules.
* Made typestate check that any function with a non-nil return type
returns a value. For now, the check is a warning and not an error
(see next item).
* Added a "bot" type (prettyprinted as _|_), for constructs like be, ret, break, cont, and
fail that don't locally return a value that can be inspected. "bot"
is distinct from "nil". There is no concrete syntax for _|_, while
the concrete syntax for the nil type is ().
* Added support to the parser for a ! annotation on functions whose
result type is _|_. Such a function is required to have either a
fail or a call to another ! function that is reached in all control
flow paths. The point of this annotation is to mark functions like
unimpl() and span_err(), so that an alt with a call to err() in one
case isn't a false positive for the return-value checker. I haven't
actually annotated anything with it yet.
* Random bugfixes:
* * Fixed bug in trans::trans_binary that was throwing away the
cleanups for nested subexpressions of an and or or
(tests: box-inside-if and box-inside-if2).
** In typeck, unify the expected type arguments of a tag with the
actual specified arguments.
Ping me if you disagree, but I think that in a language that's as
in-flux as rust currently is, it is silly to try and enforce a single
future-compatibility. The reserved words didn't work well with the
parser refactor, so I dropped them for the time being. We can,
eventually, bring them back as type-only reserved words.
Module names no longer clash with type and value names. The
tokenizer/parser still needs to be taught to be more careful in
identifying keywords, so that we can use 'str' and 'vec' and so as
module names.
* Cleans up the algorithm
* Move first pass to walk (second still folds)
* Support part of a type/value namespace split
(crate metadata and module indices still need to be taught about this)
* Remove a few blatant inefficiencies (import tables being recreated for
every lookup, most importantly)
This finally allows the full lib-sha1 test to run in a reasonable amount of
time. Was 30s, now 3s. Trims a second or two from stage2/rustc. XFAIL lib-sha1
in stage0 since it will be very slow until the next snapshot.
