- Rename `unescape_raw_str_or_raw_byte_str` as
`unescape_raw_str_or_byte_str`, which is more accurate.
- Remove the unused `Mode::in_single_quotes` method.
- Make some assertions more precise, and add a missing one to
`unescape_char_or_byte`.
- Change all the assertions to `debug_assert!`, because this code is
reasonably hot, and the assertions aren't required for memory safety,
and any violations are likely to be sufficiently obvious that normal
tests will trigger them.
`Cursor` keeps track of the position within the current token. But it
uses confusing names that don't make it clear that the "length consumed"
is just within the current token.
This commit renames things to make this clearer.
`Cursor` is currently hidden, and the main tokenization path uses
`rustc_lexer::first_token` which involves constructing a new `Cursor`
for every single token, which is weird. Also, `first_token` also can't
handle empty input, so callers have to check for that first.
This commit makes `Cursor` public, so `StringReader` can contain a
`Cursor`, which results in a simpler structure. The commit also changes
`StringReader::advance_token` so it returns an `Option<Token>`,
simplifying the the empty input case.
From 72 bytes to 12 bytes (on x86-64).
There are two parts to this:
- Changing various source code offsets from 64-bit to 32-bit. This is
not a problem because the rest of rustc also uses 32-bit source code
offsets. This means `Token` is no longer `Copy` but this causes no
problems.
- Removing the `RawStrError` from `LiteralKind`. Raw string literal
invalidity is now indicated by a `None` value within
`RawStr`/`RawByteStr`, and the new `validate_raw_str` function can be
used to re-lex an invalid raw string literal to get the `RawStrError`.
There is one very small change in behaviour. Previously, if a raw string
literal matched both the `InvalidStarter` and `TooManyHashes` cases,
the latter would override the former. This has now changed, because
`raw_double_quoted_string` now uses `?` and so returns immediately upon
detecting the `InvalidStarter` case. I think this is a slight
improvement to report the earlier-detected error, and it explains the
change in the `test_too_many_hashes` test.
The commit also removes a couple of comments that refer to #77629 and
say that the size of these types don't affect performance. These
comments are wrong, though the performance effect is small.
`scan_escape` currently has a fast path (for when the first char isn't
'\\') and a slow path.
This commit changes `scan_escape` so it only handles the slow path, i.e.
the actual escaping code. The fast path is inlined into the two call
sites.
This change makes the code faster, because there is no function call
overhead on the fast path. (`scan_escape` is a big function and doesn't
get inlined.)
This change also improves readability, because it removes a bunch of
mode checks on the the fast paths.
Optimize `rustc_lexer`
The `cursor.first()` method in `rustc_lexer` now calls the `chars.next()` method instead of `chars.nth_char(0)`.
This allows LLVM to optimize the code better. The biggest win is that `eat_while()` is now fully inlined and generates better assembly. This improves the lexer's performance by 35% in a micro-benchmark I made (Lexing all 18MB of code in the compiler directory). But lexing is only a small part of the overall compilation time, so I don't know how significant it is.
Big thanks to criterion and `cargo asm`.
The PR had some unforseen perf regressions that are not as easy to find.
Revert the PR for now.
This reverts commit 6ae8912a3e, reversing

rfc3052 followup: Remove authors field from Cargo manifests
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information for contributors, we may as well
remove it from crates in this repo.
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
The only change is that `expect_file` now uses path relative to the
current file (same as `include!`). Before, it used paths relative to
the workspace root, which makes no sense.
StringReader is an intornal abstraction which at the moment changes a
lot, so these unit tests cause quite a bit of friction.
Moving them to rustc_lexer and more ingerated-testing style should
make them much less annoying, hopefully without decreasing their
usefulness much.
Note that coloncolon tests are removed (it's unclear what those are
testing).
\r\n tests are removed as well, as we normalize line endings even
before lexing.
