Needed to support:
```rust
match X {
pattern if Y ...
}
for pattern in Y {}
```
IMO, this shouldn't require an RFC because it can't interfere with any future language changes (because `pattern if` and `pattern in` are already legal in rust) and can't cause any ambiguity.
This is a port of @eddyb's `const-fn` branch. I rebased it, tweaked a few things, and added tests as well as a feature gate. The set of tests is still pretty rudimentary, I'd appreciate suggestions on new tests to write. Also, a double-check that the feature-gate covers all necessary cases.
One question: currently, the feature-gate allows the *use* of const functions from stable code, just not the definition. This seems to fit our usual strategy, and implies that we might (perhaps) allow some constant functions in libstd someday, even before stabilizing const-fn, if we were willing to commit to the existence of const fns but found some details of their impl unsatisfactory.
r? @pnkfelix
- add feature gate
- add basic tests
- adjust parser to eliminate conflict between `const fn` and associated
constants
- allow `const fn` in traits/trait-impls, but forbid later in type check
- correct some merge conflicts
This allows compiling entire crates from memory or preprocessing source files before they are tokenized.
Minor API refactoring included, which is a [breaking-change] for libsyntax users:
* `ParseSess::{next_node_id, reserve_node_ids}` moved to rustc's `Session`
* `new_parse_sess` -> `ParseSess::new`
* `new_parse_sess_special_handler` -> `ParseSess::with_span_handler`
* `mk_span_handler` -> `SpanHandler::new`
* `default_handler` -> `Handler::new`
* `mk_handler` -> `Handler::with_emitter`
* `string_to_filemap(sess source, path)` -> `sess.codemap().new_filemap(path, source)`
There were still some mentions of `~[T]` and `~T`, mostly in comments and debugging statements. I tried to do my best to preserve meaning, but I might have gotten some wrong-- I'm happy to fix anything :)
I've found that there are still huge amounts of occurrences of `task`s in the documentation. This PR tries to eliminate all of them in favor of `thread`.
An automated script was run against the `.rs` and `.md` files,
subsituting every occurrence of `task` with `thread`. In the `.rs`
files, only the texts in the comment blocks were affected.
There are two interesting kinds of breakage illustrated here:
1. `Box<Trait>` in many contexts is treated as `Box<Trait + 'static>`,
due to [RFC 599]. However, in a type like `&'a Box<Trait>`, the
`Box<Trait>` type will be expanded to `Box<Trait + 'a>`, again due
to [RFC 599]. This, combined with the fix to Issue 25199, leads to
a borrowck problem due the combination of this function signature
(in src/libstd/net/parser.rs):
```rust
fn read_or<T>(&mut self, parsers: &mut [Box<FnMut(&mut Parser) -> Option<T>>]) -> Option<T>;
```
with this call site (again in src/libstd/net/parser.rs):
```rust
fn read_ip_addr(&mut self) -> Option<IpAddr> {
let ipv4_addr = |p: &mut Parser| p.read_ipv4_addr().map(|v4| IpAddr::V4(v4));
let ipv6_addr = |p: &mut Parser| p.read_ipv6_addr().map(|v6| IpAddr::V6(v6));
self.read_or(&mut [Box::new(ipv4_addr), Box::new(ipv6_addr)])
}
```
yielding borrowck errors like:
```
parser.rs:265:27: 265:69 error: borrowed value does not live long enough
parser.rs:265 self.read_or(&mut [Box::new(ipv4_addr), Box::new(ipv6_addr)])
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```

The issue here is perhaps subtle: the `parsers` argument is
inferred to be taking a slice of boxed objects with the implicit
lifetime bound attached to the `self` parameter to `read_or`.
Meanwhile, the fix to Issue 25199 (added in a forth-coming commit)
is forcing us to assume that each boxed object may have a
destructor that could refer to state of that lifetime, and
*therefore* that inferred lifetime is required to outlive the boxed
object itself.
In this case, the relevant boxed object here is not going to make
any such references; I believe it is just an artifact of how the
expression was built that it is not assigned type:
`Box<FnMut(&mut Parser) -> Option<T> + 'static>`.
(i.e., mucking with the expression is probably one way to fix this
problem).
But the other way to fix it, adopted here, is to change the
`read_or` method type to force make the (presumably-intended)
`'static` bound explicit on the boxed `FnMut` object.
(Note: this is still just the *first* example of breakage.)
2. In `macro_rules.rs`, the `TTMacroExpander` trait defines a method
with signature:
```rust
fn expand<'cx>(&self, cx: &'cx mut ExtCtxt, ...) -> Box<MacResult+'cx>;
```
taking a `&'cx mut ExtCtxt` as an argument and returning a
`Box<MacResult'cx>`.
The fix to Issue 25199 (added in aforementioned forth-coming
commit) assumes that a value of type `Box<MacResult+'cx>` may, in
its destructor, refer to a reference of lifetime `'cx`; thus the
`'cx` lifetime is forced to outlive the returned value.
Meanwhile, within `expand.rs`, the old code was doing:
```rust
match expander.expand(fld.cx, ...).make_pat() { ... => immutable borrow of fld.cx ... }
```
The problem is that the `'cx` lifetime, inferred for the
`expander.expand` call, has now been extended so that it has to
outlive the temporary R-value returned by `expanded.expand`. But
call is also reborrowing `fld.cx` *mutably*, which means that this
reborrow must end before any immutable borrow of `fld.cx`; but
there is one of those within the match body. (Note that the
temporary R-values for the input expression to `match` all live as
long as the whole `match` expression itself (see Issue #3511 and PR
#11585).
To address this, I moved the construction of the pat value into its
own `let`-statement, so that the `Box<MacResult>` will only live
for as long as the initializing expression for the `let`-statement,
and thus allow the subsequent immutable borrow within the `match`.

This changes the `ToTokens` implementations for expressions, statements,
etc. with almost-trivial ones that produce `Interpolated(*Nt(...))`
pseudo-tokens. In this way, quasiquote now works the same way as macros
do: already-parsed AST fragments are used as-is, not reparsed.
The `ToSource` trait is removed. Quasiquote no longer involves
pretty-printing at all, which removes the need for the
`encode_with_hygiene` hack. All associated machinery is removed.
A new `Nonterminal` is added, NtArm, which the parser now interpolates.
This is just for quasiquote, not macros (although it could be in the
future).
`ToTokens` is no longer implemented for `Arg` (although this could be
added again) and `Generics` (which I don't think makes sense).
This breaks any compiler extensions that relied on the ability of
`ToTokens` to turn AST fragments back into inspectable token trees. For
this reason, this closes#16987.
As such, this is a [breaking-change].

Changes the style guidelines regarding unit tests to recommend using a
sub-module named "tests" instead of "test" for unit tests as "test"
might clash with imports of libtest.
This is a little bit tricky, since with include_str!, we know that we
are including utf-8 content, so it's safe to store the source as a
String in a FileMap. We don't know that for include_bytes!, but I don't
think we actually need to track the contents anyways, so I'm passing "".
new_filemap does check for the zero length content, and it should be
reasonable, howeven I'm not sure if it would be better to pass None
instead of Some(Rc::new("")) as the src component of a FileMap.
Fixes bug #24348
