Currently we have an awkward mix of fallible and infallible functions: ``` new_parser_from_source_str maybe_new_parser_from_source_str new_parser_from_file (maybe_new_parser_from_file) // missing (new_parser_from_source_file) // missing maybe_new_parser_from_source_file source_str_to_stream maybe_source_file_to_stream ``` We could add the two missing functions, but instead this commit removes of all the infallible ones and renames the fallible ones leaving us with these which are all fallible: ``` new_parser_from_source_str new_parser_from_file new_parser_from_source_file source_str_to_stream source_file_to_stream ``` This requires making `unwrap_or_emit_fatal` public so callers of formerly infallible functions can still work. This does make some of the call sites slightly more verbose, but I think it's worth it for the simpler API. Also, there are two `catch_unwind` calls and one `catch_fatal_errors` call in this diff that become removable thanks this change. (I will do that in a follow-up PR.) |

The driver
crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
