Modify ast::ExprMatch to include a new value of type ast::MatchSource,
making it easy to tell whether the match was written literally or
produced via desugaring. This allows us to customize error messages
appropriately.
They were only correct in the simplest case. Some of the optimisations
are certainly possible but should be introduced carefully and only
when the whole pattern codegen infrastructure is in a better shape.
Fixes#16648.
This is an alternative to upgrading the way rvalues are handled in the
borrow check. Making rvalues handled more like lvalues in the borrow
check caused numerous problems related to double mutable borrows and
rvalue scopes. Rather than come up with more borrow check rules to try
to solve these problems, I decided to just forbid pattern bindings after
`@`. This affected fewer than 10 lines of code in the compiler and
libraries.
This breaks code like:
match x {
y @ z => { ... }
}
match a {
b @ Some(c) => { ... }
}
Change this code to use nested `match` or `let` expressions. For
example:
match x {
y => {
let z = y;
...
}
}
match a {
Some(c) => {
let b = Some(c);
...
}
}

the CFG for match statements.
There were two bugs in issue #14684. One was simply that the borrow
check didn't know about the correct CFG for match statements: the
pattern must be a predecessor of the guard. This disallows the bad
behavior if there are bindings in the pattern. But it isn't enough to
prevent the memory safety problem, because of wildcards; thus, this
patch introduces a more restrictive rule, which disallows assignments
and mutable borrows inside guards outright.
I discussed this with Niko and we decided this was the best plan of
action.
This breaks code that performs mutable borrows in pattern guards. Most
commonly, the code looks like this:
impl Foo {
fn f(&mut self, ...) {}
fn g(&mut self, ...) {
match bar {
Baz if self.f(...) => { ... }
_ => { ... }
}
}
}
Change this code to not use a guard. For example:
impl Foo {
fn f(&mut self, ...) {}
fn g(&mut self, ...) {
match bar {
Baz => {
if self.f(...) {
...
} else {
...
}
}
_ => { ... }
}
}
}
Sometimes this can result in code duplication, but often it illustrates
a hidden memory safety problem.
Closes#14684.

This makes edge cases in which the `Iterator` trait was not in scope
and/or `Option` or its variants were not in scope work properly.
This breaks code that looks like:
struct MyStruct { ... }
impl MyStruct {
fn next(&mut self) -> Option<int> { ... }
}
for x in MyStruct { ... } { ... }
Change ad-hoc `next` methods like the above to implementations of the
`Iterator` trait. For example:
impl Iterator<int> for MyStruct {
fn next(&mut self) -> Option<int> { ... }
}

This is accomplished by rewriting static expressions into equivalent patterns.
This way, patterns referencing static variables can both participate
in exhaustiveness analysis as well as be compiled down into the appropriate
branch of the decision trees that match expressions are codegened to.

except where trait objects are involved.
Part of issue #15349, though I'm leaving it open for trait objects.
Cross borrowing for trait objects remains because it is needed until we
have DST.
This will break code like:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(a);
Change this code to:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(&*a);

Slice patterns are different from the rest in that a single slice pattern
does not have a distinct constructor if it contains a variable-length subslice
pattern. For example, the pattern [a, b, ..tail] can match a slice of length 2, 3, 4
and so on.
As a result, the decision tree for exhaustiveness and redundancy analysis should
explore each of those constructors separately to determine if the pattern could be useful
when specialized for any of them.
bindings.
This will break code that incorrectly did things like:
fn f(a @ box b: Box<String>) {}
Fix such code to not rely on undefined behavior.

This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.

This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more
details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord}
or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}.
