enable non-lexical lifetimes in the MIR borrow checker
This PR, joint work with @spastorino, fills out the NLL infrastructure and integrates it with the borrow checker. **Don't get too excited:** it includes still a number of hacks (the subtyping code is particularly hacky). However, it *does* kinda' work. =)
The final commit demonstrates this by including a test that -- with both the AST borrowck and MIR borrowck -- reports an error by default. But if you pass `-Znll`, you only get an error from the AST borrowck, demonstrating that the integration succeeds:
```
struct MyStruct {
field: String
}
fn main() {
let mut my_struct = MyStruct { field: format!("Hello") };
let value = &my_struct.field;
if value.is_empty() {
my_struct.field.push_str("Hello, world!");
//~^ ERROR cannot borrow (Ast)
}
}
```
NB: This crate is part of the Rust compiler. For an overview of the
compiler as a whole, see
the README.md file found in librustc.
The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchstrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
