See https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/16 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15701
- Added syntax support for attributes on expressions and all syntax nodes in statement position.
- Extended `#[cfg]` folder to allow removal of statements, and
of expressions in optional positions like expression lists and trailing
block expressions.
- Extended lint checker to recognize lint levels on expressions and
locals.
- As per RFC, attributes are not yet accepted on `if` expressions.
Examples:
```rust
let x = y;
{
...
}
assert_eq!((1, #[cfg(unset)] 2, 3), (1, 3));
let FOO = 0;
```
Implementation wise, there are a few rough corners and open questions:
- The parser work ended up a bit ugly.
- The pretty printer change was based mostly on guessing.
- Similar to the `if` case, there are some places in the grammar where a new `Expr` node starts,
but where it seemed weird to accept attributes and hence the parser doesn't. This includes:
- const expressions in patterns
- in the middle of an postfix operator chain (that is, after `.`, before indexing, before calls)
- on range expressions, since `#[attr] x .. y` parses as `(#[attr] x) .. y`, which is inconsistent with
`#[attr] .. y` which would parse as `#[attr] (.. y)`
- Attributes are added as additional `Option<Box<Vec<Attribute>>>` fields in expressions and locals.
- Memory impact has not been measured yet.
- A cfg-away trailing expression in a block does not currently promote the previous `StmtExpr` in a block to a new trailing expr. That is to say, this won't work:
```rust
let x = {
#[cfg(foo)]
Foo { data: x }
#[cfg(not(foo))]
Foo { data: y }
};
```
- One-element tuples can have their inner expression removed to become Unit, but just Parenthesis can't. Eg, `(#[cfg(unset)] x,) == ()` but `(#[cfg(unset)] x) == error`. This seemed reasonable to me since tuples and unit are type constructors, but could probably be argued either way.
- Attributes on macro nodes are currently unconditionally dropped during macro expansion, which seemed fine since macro disappear at that point?
- Attributes on `ast::ExprParens` will be prepend-ed to the inner expression in the hir folder.
- The work on pretty printer tests for this did trigger, but not fix errors regarding macros:
- expression `foo![]` prints as `foo!()`
- expression `foo!{}` prints as `foo!()`
- statement `foo![];` prints as `foo!();`
- statement `foo!{};` prints as `foo!();`
- statement `foo!{}` triggers a `None` unwrap ICE.
This brings across changes made to the term library to libterm. This
includes removing instances or unwrap, fixing format string handling, and
removing a TODO.
This fix does not bring all changes across, as term now relies on cargo
deps that cannot be brought into the rust build at this stage, but has
attempted as best to cross port changes not relying on this. This notably
limits extra functionality since implemented int he Terminal trait in
Term.
This is in partly in response to rust issue #29992.
This PR allows the constant evaluation of index operations on constant arrays and repeat expressions. This allows index expressions to appear in the expression path of the length expression of a repeat expression or an array type.
An example is
```rust
const ARR: [usize; 5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const ARR2: [usize; ARR[1]] = [42, 99];
```
In most other locations llvm's const evaluator figures it out already. This is not specific to index expressions and could be remedied in the future.
Fixes#13677
This does the same sort of suggestion for misspelt macros that we already do for misspelt identifiers.
Example. Compiling this program:
```rust
macro_rules! foo {
($e:expr) => ( $e )
}
fn main() {
fob!("hello!");
}
```
gives the following error message:
```
/Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7:5: 7:8 error: macro undefined: 'fob!'
/Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7 fob!("hello!");
^~~
/Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7:5: 7:8 help: did you mean `foo`?
/Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7 fob!("hello!");
```
I had to move the levenshtein distance function into libsyntax for this. Maybe this should live somewhere else (some utility crate?), but I couldn't find a crate to put it in that is imported by libsyntax and the other rustc crates.

I'm not sure if those renames are ok. [TokenType::Tt* to TokenType::*](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/29582) was obvious, but for all those Item-enums it's less obvious to me what the right way forward is due to the underscore.
