Change ty_fn to have a controlflow field. A 'controlflow' is
essentially a bit of data that says whether or not this function
never returns to the caller (if it never returns, that means it calls
"fail" or another "never-returns" function on every control path).
Also add syntax for annotating functions that never return:
fn foo() -> ! {
fail;
}
for example. Functions marked with ! implicitly have a result type of
ty_bot, which is a new type that this commit also adds.
* 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.
One step closer to removing fold and having a single, immutable AST.
Resolve still uses fold, because it has to detect and transform
expr_field expressions. If we go through on our plan of moving to a
different syntax for module dereferencing, the parser can spit out
expr_field expressions, and resolve can move to walk.
(I am truly sorry for the things I did in typestate_check.rs. I expect
we'll want to change that to walk as well in the near future, at which
point it should probably pass around a context record, which could
hold the def_map.)
This way, the tag assigned by the parser stays with the node.
I realize ann replacing is probably going away real soon, but
I needed this now for moving the resolve defs out of the AST.
