2014-08-07Temporary bootstrapping hack: introduce syntax for r egion bounds like `'b:'a`,Niko Matsakis-29/+62
meaning `'b outlives 'a`. Syntax currently does nothing but is needed for full fix to #5763. To use this syntax, the issue_5763_bootstrap feature guard is required.
2014-08-06AST refactoring: merge PatWild and PatWildMulti into one variant with a flag.Felix S. Klock II-3/+3
2014-08-05Fixes missing overflow lint for i64 #14269Falco Hirschenberger-2/+2
The `type_overflow` lint, doesn't catch the overflow for `i64` because the overflow happens earlier in the parse phase when the `u64` as biggest possible int gets casted to `i64` , without checking the for overflows. We can't lint in the parse phase, so a refactoring of the `LitInt` type was necessary. The types `LitInt`, `LitUint` and `LitIntUnsuffixed` where merged to one type `LitInt` which stores it's value as `u64`. An additional parameter was added which indicate the signedness of the type and the sign of the value.

2014-07-25librustc: Disallow mutation and assignment in pattern guards, and modifyPatrick Walton-183/+208
the CFG for match statements. There were two bugs in issue #14684. One was simply that the borrow check didn't know about the correct CFG for match statements: the pattern must be a predecessor of the guard. This disallows the bad behavior if there are bindings in the pattern. But it isn't enough to prevent the memory safety problem, because of wildcards; thus, this patch introduces a more restrictive rule, which disallows assignments and mutable borrows inside guards outright. I discussed this with Niko and we decided this was the best plan of action. This breaks code that performs mutable borrows in pattern guards. Most commonly, the code looks like this: impl Foo { fn f(&mut self, ...) {} fn g(&mut self, ...) { match bar { Baz if self.f(...) => { ... } _ => { ... } } } } Change this code to not use a guard. For example: impl Foo { fn f(&mut self, ...) {} fn g(&mut self, ...) { match bar { Baz => { if self.f(...) { ... } else { ... } } _ => { ... } } } } Sometimes this can result in code duplication, but often it illustrates a hidden memory safety problem. Closes #14684. [breaking-change]
2014-07-24librustc: Make bare functions implement the `FnMut` trait.Patrick Walton-1/+7
This is done entirely in the libraries for functions up to 16 arguments. A macro is used so that more arguments can be easily added if we need. Note that I had to adjust the overloaded call algorithm to not try calling the overloaded call operator if the callee is a built-in function type, to prevent loops. Closes #15448.
2014-07-24libsyntax: Remove `~self` and `mut ~self` from the language.Patrick Walton-6/+9
This eliminates the last vestige of the `~` syntax. Instead of `~self`, write `self: Box<TypeOfSelf>`; instead of `mut ~self`, write `mut self: Box<TypeOfSelf>`, replacing `TypeOfSelf` with the self-type parameter as specified in the implementation. Closes #13885. [breaking-change]

2014-07-17librustc: Remove cross-borrowing of `Box<T>` to `&T` from the language,Patrick Walton-1/+3
except where trait objects are involved. Part of issue #15349, though I'm leaving it open for trait objects. Cross borrowing for trait objects remains because it is needed until we have DST. This will break code like: fn foo(x: &int) { ... } let a = box 3i; foo(a); Change this code to: fn foo(x: &int) { ... } let a = box 3i; foo(&*a); [breaking-change]
2014-07-16librustc: Implement the fully-expanded, UFCS form of explicit self.Patrick Walton-6/+24
This makes two changes to region inference: (1) it allows region inference to relate early-bound regions; and (2) it allows regions to be related before variance runs. The former is needed because there is no relation between the two regions before region substitution happens, while the latter is needed because type collection has to run before variance. We assume that, before variance is inferred, that lifetimes are invariant. This is a conservative overapproximation. This relates to #13885. This does not remove `~self` from the language yet, however. [breaking-change]
2014-07-13macro in method position parsingJohn Clements-13/+42
2014-07-13refactor Method definition to make space for macrosJohn Clements-14/+2
This change propagates to many locations, but because of the Macro Exterminator (or, more properly, the invariant that it protects), macro invocations can't occur downstream of expansion. This means that in librustc and librustdoc, extracting the desired field can simply assume that it can't be a macro invocation. Functions in ast_util abstract over this check.
2014-07-11use side table to store exported macrosJohn Clements-1/+2
Per discussion with @sfackler, refactored the expander to change the way that exported macros are collected. Specifically, a crate now contains a side table of spans that exported macros go into. This has two benefits. First, the encoder doesn't need to scan through the expanded crate in order to discover exported macros. Second, the expander can drop all expanded macros from the crate, with the pleasant result that a fully expanded crate contains no macro invocations (which include macro definitions).
2014-07-09ast: make Name its own typeCorey Richardson-8/+12
2014-07-09lexer: lex WS/COMMENT/SHEBANG rather than skippingCorey Richardson-3/+17
Now, the lexer will categorize every byte in its input according to the grammar. The parser skips over these while parsing, thus avoiding their presence in the input to syntax extensions.
2014-07-09syntax: don't parse numeric literals in the lexerCorey Richardson-12/+7
This removes a bunch of token types. Tokens now store the original, unaltered numeric literal (that is still checked for correctness), which is parsed into an actual number later, as needed, when creating the AST. This can change how syntax extensions work, but otherwise poses no visible changes. [breaking-change]
2014-07-09syntax: don't process string/char/byte/binary litsCorey Richardson-6/+11
This shuffles things around a bit so that LIT_CHAR and co store an Ident which is the original, unaltered literal in the source. When creating the AST, unescape and postprocess them. This changes how syntax extensions can work, slightly, but otherwise poses no visible changes. To get a useful value out of one of these tokens, call `parse::{char_lit, byte_lit, bin_lit, str_lit}` [breaking-change]
2014-07-09syntax: doc comments all the thingsCorey Richardson-224/+225
2014-07-08carry self ident forward through re-parsingJohn Clements-30/+42
formerly, the self identifier was being discarded during parsing, which stymies hygiene. The best fix here seems to be to attach a self identifier to ExplicitSelf_, a change that rippled through the rest of the compiler, but without any obvious damage.

2014-07-08auto merge of #15493 : brson/rust/tostr, r=pcwaltonbors-38/+38
This updates https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15075. Rename `ToStr::to_str` to `ToString::to_string`. The naive renaming ends up with two `to_string` functions defined on strings in the prelude (the other defined via `collections::str::StrAllocating`). To remedy this I removed `StrAllocating::to_string`, making all conversions from `&str` to `String` go through `Show`. This has a measurable impact on the speed of this conversion, but the sense I get from others is that it's best to go ahead and unify `to_string` and address performance for all `to_string` conversions in `core::fmt`. `String::from_str(...)` still works as a manual fast-path. Note that the patch was done with a script, and ended up renaming a number of other `*_to_str` functions, particularly inside of rustc. All the ones I saw looked correct, and I didn't notice any additional API breakage. Closes #15046.

2014-07-04librustc: Remove the `&LIFETIME EXPR` production from the language.Patrick Walton-1/+0
This was parsed by the parser but completely ignored; not even stored in the AST! This breaks code that looks like: static X: &'static [u8] = &'static [1, 2, 3]; Change this code to the shorter: static X: &'static [u8] = &[1, 2, 3]; Closes #15312. [breaking-change]

2014-07-03Simplify PatIdent to contain an Ident rather than a PathJohn Clements-9/+14
Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically--- a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation to some really nasty bugs. This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident and a span.
2014-06-25Register new snapshotsAlex Crichton-1/+5
This change starts denying `*T` in the parser. All code using `*T` should ensure that the FFI call does indeed take `const T*` on the other side before renaming the type to `*const T`. Otherwise, all code can rename `*T` to `*const T`. [breaking-change]

2014-06-24auto merge of #14952 : alexcrichton/rust/const-unsafe-pointers, r=brsonbors-1/+14
This does not yet change the compiler and libraries from `*T` to `*const T` as it will require a snapshot to do so. cc #7362 --- Note that the corresponding RFC, https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/68, has not yet been accepted. It was [discussed at the last meeting](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/wiki/Meeting-weekly-2014-06-10#rfc-pr-68-unsafe-pointers-rename-t-to-const-t) and decided to be accepted, however. I figured I'd get started on the preliminary work for the RFC that will be required regardless.
