The parser needs to parse unconfigured items into the AST so that they can
make the round trip back through the pretty printer, but subsequent passes
shouldn't care about items not being translated. Running a fold pass after
parsing is the lowest-impact way to make this work. The performance seems
fine.
Issue #489
This represents the compilation environment, defined as AST meta_items, Used
for driving conditional compilation and will eventually replace the
environment used by the parser for the current conditional compilation scheme.
Issue #489
Implement "claim" (issue #14), which is a version of "check" that
doesn't really do the check at runtime. It's an unsafe feature.
The new flag --check-claims turns claims into checks automatically --
but it's off by default, so by default, the assertion in a claim
doesn't execute at runtime.
Resources are now defined like...
resource fd(int n) { close(n); }
Calling fd with an int will then produce a non-copyable value
that, when dropped, will call close on the given int.
This will probably need more work, as moving doesn't appear to do
quite the right thing yet in general, and we should also check
somewhere that we're not, for example, moving out the content out of
an immutable field (probably moving out of fields is not okay in
general).
Non-copyability is not enforced yet, and something is still flaky with
dropping of the internal value, so don't actually use them yet. I'm
merging this in so that I don't have to keep merging against new
patches.
Modified typestate to throw away any constraints mentioning a
variable on the LHS of an assignment, recv, assign_op, or on
either side of a swap.
Some code cleanup as well.
This involved, in part, changing the ast::def type so that a def_fn
has a "purity" field. This lets the typechecker determine whether
functions defined in other crates are pure.
It also required updating some error messages in tests. As a test
for cross-crate constrained functions, I added a safe_slice function
to std::str (slice(), with one of the asserts replaced with a
function precondition) and some test cases (various versions of
fn-constraint.rs) that call it. Also, I changed "fn" to "pred" for
some of the boolean functions in std::uint.
