Although structs and unions have the same syntax and differ only in
the keyword, re-using the single syntax node for both of them leads to
confusion in practice, and propagates further down the hir in an
upleasent way.
Moreover, static and consts also share syntax, but we use different
nodes for them.
Right now they are handled in `postfix_dot_expr`, but that doesn't allow it to
correctly handle precedence. Integrate it more tightly with the Pratt parser
instead.
Also includes a drive-by fix for parsing `match .. {}`.
Fixes#2242.
1951: Lower the precedence of the `as` operator. r=matklad a=goffrie
Previously, the `as` operator was being parsed like a postfix expression, and
therefore being given the highest possible precedence. That caused it to bind
more tightly than prefix operators, which it should not. Instead, parse it
somewhat like a normal binary expression with some special-casing.
Fixes#1851.

Forbidding block expressions entirely is too strict; instead, we should only
forbid them in contexts where we are parsing an optional RHS (i.e. the RHS of a
range expression).

1848: Parse `..` as a full pattern r=matklad a=ecstatic-morse
Resolves#1479.
This PR implements [RFC 2707](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2707) in the parser. It introduces a new `DotDotPat` AST node modeled on `PlaceholderPat` and changes the parsing of tuple and slice patterns to conform to the RFC.
Notably, this PR does *not* change the resulting AST when `..` appears in a struct pattern (e.g. `Struct { a, b: c, .. }`). I *think* this is the behavior mandated by RFC 2707, but someone should confirm this.

Parser has the invariant that `{}` are balanced.
Previous code tried (unsucesfuly) maintain the same invariant for
`$()` as well, but it was done in a rather ad-hoc manner: it's not at
all obvious that it is possible to maintain both invariants!
Named structs can have `box` patterns that will bind to their fields.
This is similar to the behavior of the `ref` and `mut` fields, but is at
least a little bit surprising.
1661: Parse function parameters attributes r=matklad a=eupn
Fixes#1397. The [RFC-2565](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2565-formal-function-parameter-attributes.md) specifies `#[attributes]` to function parameters:
```rust
fn foo(#[attr] a, #[unused] b, #[must_use] ...) {
// ...
}
```
This PR adds those attributes into grammar and to the parser, extending corresponding inline tests.

This wasn't a right decision in the first place, the feature flag was
broken in the last rustfmt release, and syntax highlighting of imports
is more important anyway
Array members are allow to have attributes such as `#[cfg]`.
This is a bit tricky as we don't know if the first expression is an
initializer or a member until we encounter a `;`. This reuses a trick
from `stmt` where we remember if we saw an attribute and then raise an
error if the first expression ends up being an initializer.
This isn't perfect as the error isn't correctly located on the attribute
or initializer; it ends up immediately after the `;`.
1328: Change TokenSource to iteration based r=matklad a=edwin0cheng
This PR change the `TokenSource` trait from random access to be an iteration based trait:
```rust
/// `TokenSource` abstracts the source of the tokens parser operates one.
///
/// Hopefully this will allow us to treat text and token trees in the same way!
pub trait TokenSource {
fn current(&self) -> Token;
/// Lookahead n token
fn lookahead_nth(&self, n: usize) -> Token;
/// bump cursor to next token
fn bump(&mut self);
/// Is the current token a specified keyword?
fn is_keyword(&self, kw: &str) -> bool;
}
/// `TokenCursor` abstracts the cursor of `TokenSource` operates one.
#[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, Eq, PartialEq)]
pub struct Token {
/// What is the current token?
pub kind: SyntaxKind,
/// Is the current token joined to the next one (`> >` vs `>>`).
pub is_jointed_to_next: bool,
}
```
Note that the refactoring based on this new trait will be separated to incoming PRs
