The parser pushes a `TokenType` to `Parser::expected_token_types` on
every call to the various `check`/`eat` methods, and clears it on every
call to `bump`. Some of those `TokenType` values are full tokens that
require cloning and dropping. This is a *lot* of work for something
that is only used in error messages and it accounts for a significant
fraction of parsing execution time.
This commit overhauls `TokenType` so that `Parser::expected_token_types`
can be implemented as a bitset. This requires changing `TokenType` to a
C-style parameterless enum, and adding `TokenTypeSet` which uses a
`u128` for the bits. (The new `TokenType` has 105 variants.)
The new types `ExpTokenPair` and `ExpKeywordPair` are now arguments to
the `check`/`eat` methods. This is for maximum speed. The elements in
the pairs are always statically known; e.g. a
`token::BinOp(token::Star)` is always paired with a `TokenType::Star`.
So we now compute `TokenType`s in advance and pass them in to
`check`/`eat` rather than the current approach of constructing them on
insertion into `expected_token_types`.
Values of these pair types can be produced by the new `exp!` macro,
which is used at every `check`/`eat` call site. The macro is for
convenience, allowing any pair to be generated from a single identifier.
The ident/keyword filtering in `expected_one_of_not_found` is no longer
necessary. It was there to account for some sloppiness in
`TokenKind`/`TokenType` comparisons.
The existing `TokenType` is moved to a new file `token_type.rs`, and all
its new infrastructure is added to that file. There is more boilerplate
code than I would like, but I can't see how to make it shorter.
These functions are only used in `rustc_builtin_macros`, so it makes
sense for them to live there. This allows them to be changed from `pub`
to `pub(crate)`.
Existing names for values of this type are `sess`, `parse_sess`,
`parse_session`, and `ps`. `sess` is particularly annoying because
that's also used for `Session` values, which are often co-located, and
it can be difficult to know which type a value named `sess` refers to.
(That annoyance is the main motivation for this change.) `psess` is nice
and short, which is good for a name used this much.
The commit also renames some `parse_sess_created` values as
`psess_created`.
`check_builtin_attribute` calls `parse_meta` to convert an `Attribute`
to a `MetaItem`, which it then checks. However, many callers of
`check_builtin_attribute` start with a `MetaItem`, and then convert it
to an `Attribute` by calling `cx.attribute(meta_item)`. This `MetaItem`
to `Attribute` to `MetaItem` conversion is silly.
This commit adds a new function `check_builtin_meta_item`, which can be
called instead from these call sites. `check_builtin_attribute` also now
calls it. The commit also renames `check_meta` as `check_attr` to better
match its arguments.
