The primary purpose of this commit is to introduce the
dyn_star flag so we can begin experimenting with implementation.
In order to have something to do in the feature gate test, we also add
parser support for `dyn* Trait` objects. These are currently treated
just like `dyn Trait` objects, but this will change in the future.
Note that for now `dyn* Trait` is experimental syntax to enable
implementing some of the machinery needed for async fn in dyn traits
without fully supporting the feature.
Suggest removing unnecessary prefix let in patterns
Helps with #101291, though I think `@estebank` probably wants this:
> Finally, I think it'd be nice if we could detect that we don't know for sure and "just" swallow the rest of the expression (find the next ; accounting for nested braces) or the end of the item (easier).
... to be implemented before we close that issue out completely.
`BindingAnnotation` refactor
* `ast::BindingMode` is deleted and replaced with `hir::BindingAnnotation` (which is moved to `ast`)
* `BindingAnnotation` is changed from an enum to a tuple struct e.g. `BindingAnnotation(ByRef::No, Mutability::Mut)`
* Associated constants added for convenience `BindingAnnotation::{NONE, REF, MUT, REF_MUT}`
One goal is to make it more clear that `BindingAnnotation` merely represents syntax `ref mut` and not the actual binding mode. This was especially confusing since we had `ast::BindingMode`->`hir::BindingAnnotation`->`thir::BindingMode`.
I wish there were more symmetry between `ByRef` and `Mutability` (variant) naming (maybe `Mutable::Yes`?), and I also don't love how long the name `BindingAnnotation` is, but this seems like the best compromise. Ideas welcome.
Replace `rustc_data_structures::thin_vec::ThinVec` with `thin_vec::ThinVec`
`rustc_data_structures::thin_vec::ThinVec` looks like this:
```
pub struct ThinVec<T>(Option<Box<Vec<T>>>);
```
It's just a zero word if the vector is empty, but requires two
allocations if it is non-empty. So it's only usable in cases where the
vector is empty most of the time.
This commit removes it in favour of `thin_vec::ThinVec`, which is also
word-sized, but stores the length and capacity in the same allocation as
the elements. It's good in a wider variety of situation, e.g. in enum
variants where the vector is usually/always non-empty.
The commit also:
- Sorts some `Cargo.toml` dependency lists, to make additions easier.
- Sorts some `use` item lists, to make additions easier.
- Changes `clean_trait_ref_with_bindings` to take a
`ThinVec<TypeBinding>` rather than a `&[TypeBinding]`, because this
avoid some unnecessary allocations.

In some places we use `Vec<Attribute>` and some places we use
`ThinVec<Attribute>` (a.k.a. `AttrVec`). This results in various points
where we have to convert between `Vec` and `ThinVec`.
This commit changes the places that use `Vec<Attribute>` to use
`AttrVec`. A lot of this is mechanical and boring, but there are
some interesting parts:
- It adds a few new methods to `ThinVec`.
- It implements `MapInPlace` for `ThinVec`, and introduces a macro to
avoid the repetition of this trait for `Vec`, `SmallVec`, and
`ThinVec`.
Overall, it makes the code a little nicer, and has little effect on
performance. But it is a precursor to removing
`rustc_data_structures::thin_vec::ThinVec` and replacing it with
`thin_vec::ThinVec`, which is implemented more efficiently.
- Rename `ast::Lit::token` as `ast::Lit::token_lit`, because its type is
`token::Lit`, which is not a token. (This has been confusing me for a
long time.)
reasonable because we have an `ast::token::Lit` inside an `ast::Lit`.
- Rename `LitKind::{from,to}_lit_token` as
`LitKind::{from,to}_token_lit`, to match the above change and
`token::Lit`.
There is some redundancy here, but the extra assertions make it easier
to keep track of relative things, e.g. `ExprKind` is the biggest part
of `Expr`.
Stringify non-shorthand visibility correctly
This makes `stringify!(pub(in crate))` evaluate to `pub(in crate)` rather than `pub(crate)`, matching the behavior before the `crate` shorthand was removed. Further, this changes `stringify!(pub(in super))` to evaluate to `pub(in super)` rather than the current `pub(super)`. If the latter is not desired (it is _technically_ breaking), it can be undone.
