The outer attributes were manually appended when a module file was parsed, but
the attributes were also added higher up the stack of parsing (when the module
finished parsing). This removes the append in parsing the module file.
Closes#13826
This PR is primarily motivated by (and fixes) #12926.
We currently only have a span for the individual item itself and not for the referred contents. This normally does not cause a problem since both are located in the same file; it *is* possible that the contained statement or item is located in the other file (the syntax extension can do that), but even in that case the syntax extension should be located in the same file as the item. The module item (i.e. `mod foo;`) is the only exception here, and thus warrants a special treatment.
Rustdoc would now distinguish `mod foo;` from `mod foo {...}` by checking if the span for the module item and module contents is in different files. If it's the case, we'd prefer module contents over module item. There are alternative strategies, but as noted above we will have some corner cases if we don't record the contents span explicitly.
this is useful when the module item and module contents are defined
from different files (like rustdoc). in most cases the original span
for the module item would be used; in other cases, the span for
module contents is available separately at the `inner` field.
it reflected the obsolete syntax `use a, b, c;` and did not make
past the parser (though it was a non-fatal error so we can continue).
this legacy affected many portions of rustc and rustdoc as well,
so this commit cleans them up altogether.
Specifically, the method parameter cardinality mismatch or missing

libstd: Implement `StrBuf`, a new string buffer type like `Vec`, and port all code over to use it.

In summary these are some example transitions this change makes:

The intended syntax for closures is to put the lifetime bound not at the front
but rather in the list of bounds. Currently there is no official support in the
AST for bounds that are not 'static, so this case is currently specially handled
in the parser to desugar to what the AST is expecting. Additionally, this moves
the bounds on procedures to the correct position, which is after the argument
list.
The current grammar for closures and procedures is:
procedure := 'proc' [ '<' lifetime-list '>' ] '(' arg-list ')'
[ ':' bound-list ] [ '->' type ]
closure := [ 'unsafe' ] ['<' lifetime-list '>' ] '|' arg-list '|'
[ ':' bound-list ] [ '->' type ]
lifetime-list := lifetime | lifetime ',' lifetime-list
arg-list := ident ':' type | ident ':' type ',' arg-list
bound-list := bound | bound '+' bound-list
bound := path | lifetime
This does not currently handle the << ambiguity in `Option<<'a>||>`, I am
deferring that to a later patch. Additionally, this removes the support for the
obsolete syntaxes of ~fn and &fn.

This change removes the AbiSet from the AST, converting all usage to have just
one Abi value. The current scheme selects a relevant ABI given a list of ABIs
based on the target architecture and how relevant each ABI is to that
architecture.
Instead of this mildly complicated scheme, only one ABI will be allowed in abi
strings, and pseudo-abis will be created for special cases as necessary. For
example the "system" abi exists for stdcall on win32 and C on win64.
Closes#10049
Summary:
So far, we've used the term POD "Plain Old Data" to refer to types that

This is the first step to replacing OptVec with a new representation:
remove all mutability. Any mutations have to go via `Vec` and then make
to `OptVec`.
Many of the uses of OptVec are unnecessary now that Vec has no-alloc
emptiness (and have been converted to Vec): the only ones that really
need it are the AST and sty's (and so on) where there are a *lot* of
instances of them, and they're (mostly) immutable.
This commit removes all internal support for the previously used __log_level()
expression. The logging subsystem was previously modified to not rely on this
magical expression. This also removes the only other function to use the
module_data map in trans, decl_gc_metadata. It appears that this is an ancient
function from a GC only used long ago.
This does not remove the crate map entirely, as libgreen still uses it to hook
in to the event loop provided by libgreen.
This commit shreds all remnants of libextra from the compiler and standard
distribution. Two modules, c_vec/tempfile, were moved into libstd after some
cleanup, and the other modules were moved to separate crates as seen fit.

The `~str` type is not long for this world as it will be superseded by the
soon-to-come DST changes for the language. The new type will be
`~Str`, and matching over the allocation will no longer be supported.
Matching on `&str` will continue to work, in both a pre and post DST world.
There is a broader revision (that does this across the board) pending
in #12675, but that is awaiting the arrival of more data (to decide
whether to keep OptVec alive by using a non-Vec internally).
For this code, the representation of lifetime lists needs to be the
same in both ScopeChain and in the ast and ty structures. So it
seemed cleanest to just use `vec_ng::Vec`, now that it has a cheaper
empty representation than the current `vec` code.
This is needed to make progress on #10296 as the default bounds will no longer
include Send. I believe that this was the originally intended syntax for procs,
and it just hasn't been necessary up until now.
Previously `ast::Arm` was always storing a single `ast::Expr` wrapped in an
`ast::Block` (for historical reasons, AIUI), so we might as just store
that expr directly.

Makes labelled loops hygiene by performing renaming of the labels

These two containers are indeed collections, so their place is in
libcollections, not in libstd. There will always be a hash map as part of the
standard distribution of Rust, but by moving it out of the standard library it
makes libstd that much more portable to more platforms and environments.
This conveniently also removes the stuttering of 'std::hashmap::HashMap',
although 'collections::HashMap' is only one character shorter.
This patch adds a new keyword `crate` which is intended to replace mod
in the context of `extern mod` as part of the issue #9880. The patch
doesn't replace all `extern mod` cases since it is necessary to first
push a new snapshot 0.
The implementation could've been less invasive than this. However I
preferred to take this chance to split the `parse_item_foreign_mod`
method and pull the `extern crate` part out of there, hence the new
method `parse_item_foreign_crate`.

There's currently a fair amount of code which is being ignored on unnamed blocks

It's unclear to me why these currently aren't allowed, and my best guess is that
a long time ago we didn't strip the ast of cfg nodes before syntax expansion.

For the benefit of the pretty printer we want to keep track of how
string literals in the ast were originally represented in the source
code.
This commit changes parser functions so they don't extract strings from
the token stream without at least also returning what style of string
literal it was. This is stored in the resulting ast node for string
literals, obviously, for the package id in `extern mod = r"package id"`
view items, for the inline asm in `asm!()` invocations.
For `asm!()`'s other arguments or for `extern "Rust" fn()` items, I just
the style of string, because it seemed disproportionally cumbersome to
thread that information through the string processing that happens with
those string literals, given the limited advantage raw string literals
would provide in these positions.
The other syntax extensions don't seem to store passed string literals
in the ast, so they also discard the style of strings they parse.

I am unsure if the `nt_ident` variant should have an indirection, with
ast::ident being only 16 bytes (64-bit), but without this, enum Token

This does a number of things, but especially dramatically reduce the
number of allocations performed for operations involving attributes/
meta items:
- Converts ast::meta_item & ast::attribute and other associated enums
to CamelCase.
- Converts several standalone functions in syntax::attr into methods,
defined on two traits AttrMetaMethods & AttributeMethods. The former
is common to both MetaItem and Attribute since the latter is a thin
wrapper around the former.
- Deletes functions that are unnecessary due to iterators.
- Converts other standalone functions to use iterators and the generic
AttrMetaMethods rather than allocating a lot of new vectors (e.g. the
old code would have to allocate a new vector to use functions that
operated on &[meta_item] on &[attribute].)
- Moves the core algorithm of the #[cfg] matching to syntax::attr,
similar to find_inline_attr and find_linkage_metas.
This doesn't have much of an effect on the speed of #[cfg] stripping,
despite hugely reducing the number of allocations performed; presumably
most of the time is spent in the ast folder rather than doing attribute
checks.

Closes#4219.
Currently, keywords are stored in hashsets that are recreated for every
Parser instance, which is quite expensive since macro expansion creates
lots of them. Additionally, the parser functions that look for a keyword
currently accept a string and have a runtime check to validate that they
actually received a keyword.
By creating an enum for the keywords and inserting them into the
ident interner, we can avoid the creation of the hashsets and get static
checks for the keywords.
For libstd, this cuts the parse+expansion part from ~2.6s to ~1.6s.
The drop block has been deprecated for quite some time. This patch series removes support for parsing it and all the related machinery that made drop work.
As a side feature of all this, I also added the ability to annote fields in structs. This allows comments to be properly associated with an individual field. However, I didn't update `rustdoc` to integrate these comment blocks into the documentation it generates.
In principle, it seems like a nice idea to abstract over the two
functions that parse blocks (one with inner attrs allowed, one not).
However, the existing one wound up making things more complex than
just having two separate functions, especially after the obsolete
syntax is (will be) removed.
prec.rs no longer had much to do with precedence; the token->binop
function fits better in token.rs, and the one-liner defining the

This takes a similar approach to #5797 where a set is present on the `tcx` of used mutable definitions. Everything is by default warned about, and analyses must explicitly add mutable definitions to this set so they're not warned about.
Most of this was pretty straightforward, although there was one caveat that I ran into when implementing it. Apparently when the old modes are used (or maybe `legacy_modes`, I'm not sure) some different code paths are taken to cause spurious warnings to be issued which shouldn't be issued. I'm not really sure how modes even worked, so I was having a lot of trouble tracking this down. I figured that because they're a legacy thing that I'd just de-mode the compiler so that the warnings wouldn't be a problem anymore (or at least for the compiler).
Other than that, the entire compiler compiles without warnings of unused mutable variables. To prevent bad warnings, #5965 should be landed (which in turn is waiting on #5963) before landing this. I figured I'd stick it out for review anyway though.
bare function store (which is not in fact a kind of value) but rather
ty::TraitRef. Removes many uses of fail!() and other telltale signs of
type-semantic mismatch.
cc #4183 (not a fix, but related)
This naming is free now that `oldmap` has finally been removed, so this is a search-and-replace to take advantage of that. It might as well be called `HashMap` instead of being named after the specific implementation, since there's only one.
SipHash distributes keys so well that I don't think there will ever be much need to use anything but a simple hash table with open addressing. If there *is* a better way to do it, it will probably be better in all cases and can just be the default implementation.
A cuckoo-hashing implementation combining a weaker hash with SipHash could be useful, but that won't be as general purpose - you would need to write a separate fast hash function specialized for the type to really take advantage of it (like taking a page from libstdc++/libc++ and just using the integer value as the "hash"). I think a more specific naming for a truly alternative implementation like that would be fine, with the nice naming reserved for the general purpose container.
Changes the parser to parse all streams into token-trees before hitting the parser proper, in preparation for hygiene. As an added bonus, it appears to speed up the parser (albeit by a totally imperceptible 1%).
Also, many comments in the parser.
Also, field renaming in token-trees (readme->forest, cur->stack).
I believe this patch incorporates all expected syntax changes from extern
function reform (#3678). You can now write things like:
extern "<abi>" fn foo(s: S) -> T { ... }
extern "<abi>" mod { ... }
extern "<abi>" fn(S) -> T
The ABI for foreign functions is taken from this syntax (rather than from an
annotation). We support the full ABI specification I described on the mailing
list. The correct ABI is chosen based on the target architecture.
Calls by pointer to C functions are not yet supported, and the Rust type of
crust fns is still *u8.
