The spans inside of these types were always None and never used. Pass
the expander function directly instead of wrapping it in one of these
types.

This adds support for lint groups to the compiler. Lint groups are a way of
grouping a number of lints together under one name. For example, this also
defines a default lint for naming conventions, named `bad_style`. Writing
`#[allow(bad_style)]` is equivalent to writing
`#[allow(non_camel_case_types, non_snake_case, non_uppercase_statics)]`. These
lint groups can also be defined as a compiler plugin using the new
`Registry::register_lint_group` method.
This also adds two built-in lint groups, `bad_style` and `unused`. The contents
of these groups can be seen by running `rustc -W help`.
Our AST definition can include macro invocations, which can expand into all kinds of things. Macro invocations are expanded away during expansion time, and the rest of the compiler doesn't have to deal with them. However, we have no way of enforcing this.
This patch adds two protective mechanisms.
First, it adds a (quick) explicit check that ensures there are no macro invocations remaining in the AST after expansion. Second, it updates the visit and fold mechanisms so that by default, they will not traverse macro invocations. It's easy enough to add this, if desired (it's documented in the source, and examples appear, e.g. in the IdentFinder.
Along the way, I also consulted with @sfackler to refactor the macro export mechanism so that it stores macro text spans in a side table, rather than leaving them in the AST.
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.
The let-syntax expander is different in that it doesn't apply
a mark to its token trees before expansion. This is used
for macro_rules, and it's because macro_rules is essentially
MTWT's let-syntax. You don't want to mark before expand sees
let-syntax, because there's no "after" syntax to mark again.
In some sense, the cleaner approach might be to introduce a new
AST node that macro_rules expands into; this would make it clearer
that the expansion of a macro is distinct from the addition of a
new macro binding.
This should work for now, though...
only known post-monomorphization, and report `transmute` errors before
the code is generated for that `transmute`.
This can break code that looked like:
unsafe fn f<T>(x: T) {
let y: int = transmute(x);
}
Change such code to take a type parameter that has the same size as the
type being transmuted to.
Closes#12898.
