As documented in issue #7945, these literal identifiers are all accepted by rust
today, but they should probably be disallowed (especially `'''`). This changes
all escapable sequences to being *required* to be escaped.
Closes#7945
... instead of giving their numeric codepoint, following the lead of
fdaae34. So the error message for, say, '\_' mentions _ instead of 95,
and '\●' now mentions \u25cf.
Previously, the lexer calling `rdr.fatal(...)` would report the span of
the last complete token, instead of a span within the erroneous token
(besides one span fixed in 1ac90bb).
This commit adds a wrapper around `rdr.fatal(...)` that sets the span
explicilty, so that all fatal errors in `libsyntax/parse/lexer.rs` now
report the offending code more precisely. A number of tests try to
verify that, though the `compile-fail` testing setup can only check that
the spans are on the right lines, and the "unterminated string/block
comment" errors can't have the line marked at all, so that's incomplete.
Closes#9149.
This commit adds support for `\0` escapes in character and string literals.
Since `\0` is equivalent to `\x00`, this is a direct translation to the latter
escape sequence. Future builds will be able to compile using `\0` directly.
Also updated the grammar specification and added a test for NUL characters.
Remove these in favor of the two traits themselves and the wrapper
function std::from_str::from_str.
Add the function std::num::from_str_radix in the corresponding role for
the FromStrRadix trait.
The span was fixed at some point to point to the correct character, but
the error message is still bad. Update it to emit the actual character
in question (potentially escaped).
Fixes#3747.
I removed the `static-method-test.rs` test because it was heavily based
on `BaseIter` and there are plenty of other more complex uses of static
methods anyway.
This almost removes the StringRef wrapper, since all strings are
Equiv-alent now. Removes a lot of `/* bad */ copy *`'s, and converts
several things to be &'static str (the lint table and the intrinsics
table).
There are many instances of .to_managed(), unfortunately.
As the comment said, the subtraction is bogus for multibyte characters.
Fortunately, we can just use last_pos instead of pos to get the correct
position without any subtraction hackery.
There's currently a function in the lexer that rejects a line comment that is all slashes from being a doc comment. I think the intention was that you could draw boxes,
/////////////
// like so //
/////////////
Since a line doc comment split up over multiple paragraphs will have a "blank" line that is just /// between the paragraphs, that would get mistaken for a box segment, lexed as a regular comment, and go missing from the sequence of doc comment attributes before they were reassembled by rustdoc into markdown input.
I figure the best plan here is to just declare that a comment that is exactly `///` is a doc comment after all, and to only omit comments with four slashes or more, which is what this commit implements. Can't really draw boxes that narrow, anyway.
&str can be turned into @~str on demand, using to_owned(), so for
strings, we can create a specialized interner that accepts &str for
intern() and find() but stores and returns @~str.
