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.
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.
This reduces the time to execute the new lib-str tests from 1:40ish to a few
seconds and will eventually allow the full lib-sha1 test to run in a
reasonable amount of time. XFAIL lib-str in stage0 - it will run very slowly
until the next snapshot.
This ensures we don't get compile errors on unreachable code (see
test/run-pass/artificial-block.rs for an example of sane code that
wasn't compiling). In the future, we might want to warn about
non-trivial code appearing in an unreachable context, and/or avoid
generating unreachable code altogether (though I'm sure LLVM will weed
it out as well).
This giant commit changes the syntax of Rust to use "assert" for
"check" expressions that didn't mean anything to the typestate
system, and continue using "check" for checks that are used as
part of typestate checking.
Most of the changes are just replacing "check" with "assert" in test
cases and rustc.
