Reuse monomorphized functions for different box types

2012-02-07T13:36:02+00:00

The free glue for opaque boxes will pick the actual tydesc out of the box, and call its glue. Issue #1736

Make ty::t type self-sufficient

2012-02-06T15:53:25+00:00

It is now no longer needed to have a ty::ctxt to get at the contents of a ty::t. The straight-forward approach of doing this, simply making ty::t a box type, unfortunately killed our compiler performance (~15% slower) through refcounting cost. Thus, this patch now represents ty::t as an unsafe pointer, assuming that the ty::ctxt, which holds these boxes alive, outlives any uses of the ty::t values. In the current compiler this trivially holds, but it is does of course add a new potential pitfall. ty::get takes a ty::t and returns a boxed representation of the type. I've changed calls to ty::struct(X) to do ty::get(X).struct. Type structs are full of vectors, and copying them every time we wanted to access them was a bit of a cost.

Self types for ifaces

2012-02-06T08:56:41+00:00

This allows a 'Name:' to appear in front of an iface declaration's name, which will cause 'Name' to refer to the self type (with the same number of type parameters as the iface has) in the method signatures of the iface. For example: iface F: functor { fn fmap(f: fn(A) -> B) -> F; } Issue #1718

infer modes rather than overwriting with expected ty
