This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.
If they are on the trait then it is extremely annoying to use them as
generic parameters to a function, e.g. with the iterator param on the trait
itself, if one was to pass an Extendable<int> to a function that filled it
either from a Range or a Map<VecIterator>, one needs to write something
like:
fn foo<E: Extendable<int, Range<int>> +
Extendable<int, Map<&'self int, int, VecIterator<int>>>
(e: &mut E, ...) { ... }
since using a generic, i.e. `foo<E: Extendable<int, I>, I: Iterator<int>>`
means that `foo` takes 2 type parameters, and the caller has to specify them
(which doesn't work anyway, as they'll mismatch with the iterators used in
`foo` itself).
This patch changes it to:
fn foo<E: Extendable<int>>(e: &mut E, ...) { ... }
The `new` constructor uses the task-local RNG to retrieve seeds for the
two key values, which requires the runtime. Exposing a constructor that
takes the keys directly allows HashMaps to be used in programs that wish
to avoid the runtime.
.intersection(), .union() etc methods in trait std::container::Set use
internal iters. Remove these methods from the trait.
I reported issue #8154 for the reinstatement of iterator-based set algebra
methods to the Set trait.
For bitv and treemap, that lack Iterator implementations of set
operations, preserve them as methods directly on the types themselves.
For HashSet, these methods are replaced by the present .union_iter()
etc.
Drop the "Iterator" suffix for the the structs in std::iterator.
Filter, Zip, Chain etc. are shorter type names for when iterator
pipelines need their types written out in full in return value types, so
it's easier to read and write. the iterator module already forms enough
namespace.
With the recent fixes to method resolution, we can now remove the
dummy type parameters used as crutches in the iterator module.
For example, the zip adaptor type is just ZipIterator<T, U> now.
The theory is simple, the immutable iterators simply hold state
variables (indicies or pointers) into frozen containers. We can freely
clone these iterators, just like we can clone borrowed pointers.
VecIterator needs a manual impl to handle the lifetime struct member.
Updated all users of HashMap, HashSet old .consume() to use .consume()
with a for loop.
Since .consume() takes the map or set by value, it needs awkward
extra code to in librusti's use of @mut HashMap, where the map value can
not be directly moved out.
Implement the difference, union, etc iterators with the help of a custom
iterator combinator with explicit closure environment. Reported issue #7814
to be able to use the std::iterator filter combinator.
Fixes most of #4989. I didn't add Persistent{Set,Map} since the only
persistent data structure is fun_treemap and its functionality is
currently too limited to build a trait out of.
The free-standing functions in f32, f64, i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16,
u32, u64, float, int, and uint are replaced with generic functions in
num instead.
If you were previously using any of those functions, just replace them
with the corresponding function with the same name in num.
Note: If you were using a function that corresponds to an operator, use
the operator instead.
