Currently, we always create a dedicated "return" basic block, but when
there's only a single predecessor for that block, it can be merged with
that predecessor. We can achieve that merge by only creating the return
block on demand, avoiding its creation when its not required.
Reduces the pre-optimization size of librustc.ll created with --passes ""
by about 90k lines which equals about 4%.
We currently still handle immediate return values a lot like
non-immediate ones. We provide a slot for them and store them into
memory, often just to immediately load them again. To improve this
situation, trans_call_inner has to return a Result which contains the
immediate return value.
Also, it also needs to accept "No destination" in addition to just
SaveIn and Ignore. Since "No destination" isn't something that fits
well into the Dest type, I've chosen to simply use Option<Dest>
instead, paired with an assertion that checks that "None" is only
allowed for immediate return values.
Mostly just low-haning fruit, i.e. function arguments that were @ even
though & would work just as well.
Reduces librustc.so size by 200k when compiling without -O, by 100k when
compiling with -O.
This sets the `get_tydesc()` return type correctly and removes the intrinsic module. See #3730, #3475.
Update: this now also removes the unused shape fields in tydescs.
To achieve this, the following changes were made:
* Move TyDesc, TyVisitor and Opaque to std::unstable::intrinsics
* Convert TyDesc, TyVisitor and Opaque to lang items instead of specially
handling the intrinsics module
* Removed TypeDesc, FreeGlue and get_type_desc() from sys
Fixes#3475.
The removed test for issue #2611 is well covered by the `std::iterator`
module itself.
This adds the `count` method to `IteratorUtil` to replace `EqIter`.
Remove all the explicit @mut-fields from CrateContext, though many
fields are still @-ptrs.
This required changing every single function call that explicitly
took a @CrateContext, so I took advantage and changed as many as I
could get away with to &-ptrs or &mut ptrs.
This almost removes the StringRef wrapper, since all strings are
Equiv-alent now. Removes a lot of `/* bad */ copy *`'s, and converts
several things to be &'static str (the lint table and the intrinsics
table).
There are many instances of .to_managed(), unfortunately.
&str can be turned into @~str on demand, using to_owned(), so for
strings, we can create a specialized interner that accepts &str for
intern() and find() but stores and returns @~str.
Various FIXME comments added around to denote copies which when removed cause
the compiler to segfault at some point before stage2. None of these copies
should even be necessary.
