Creating a fresh expansion and immediately generating a span from it is the most common scenario.
Also avoid allocating `allow_internal_unstable` lists for derive markers repeatedly.
And rename `ExpnInfo::with_unstable` to `ExpnInfo::allow_unstable`, seems to be a better fitting name.
Remove io::Result from syntax::print
Since we're now writing directly to the vector, there's no need to
thread results through the whole printing infrastructure
This commit changes `syntax::fold::Folder` from a functional style
(where most methods take a `T` and produce a new `T`) to a more
imperative style (where most methods take and modify a `&mut T`), and
renames it `syntax::mut_visit::MutVisitor`.
The first benefit is speed. The functional style does not require any
reallocations, due to the use of `P::map` and
`MoveMap::move_{,flat_}map`. However, every field in the AST must be
overwritten; even those fields that are unchanged are overwritten with
the same value. This causes a lot of unnecessary memory writes. The
imperative style reduces instruction counts by 1--3% across a wide range
of workloads, particularly incremental workloads.
The second benefit is conciseness; the imperative style is usually more
concise. E.g. compare the old functional style:
```
fn fold_abc(&mut self, abc: ABC) {
ABC {
a: fold_a(abc.a),
b: fold_b(abc.b),
c: abc.c,
}
}
```
with the imperative style:
```
fn visit_abc(&mut self, ABC { a, b, c: _ }: &mut ABC) {
visit_a(a);
visit_b(b);
}
```
(The reductions get larger in more complex examples.)
Overall, the patch removes over 200 lines of code -- even though the new
code has more comments -- and a lot of the remaining lines have fewer
characters.
Some notes:
- The old style used methods called `fold_*`. The new style mostly uses
methods called `visit_*`, but there are a few methods that map a `T`
to something other than a `T`, which are called `flat_map_*` (`T` maps
to multiple `T`s) or `filter_map_*` (`T` maps to 0 or 1 `T`s).
- `move_map.rs`/`MoveMap`/`move_map`/`move_flat_map` are renamed
`map_in_place.rs`/`MapInPlace`/`map_in_place`/`flat_map_in_place` to
reflect their slightly changed signatures.
- Although this commit renames the `fold` module as `mut_visit`, it
keeps it in the `fold.rs` file, so as not to confuse git. The next
commit will rename the file.
Track whether module declarations are inline (fixes#12590)
To track whether module declarations are inline I added a field `inline: bool` to `ast::Mod`. The main use case is for pretty to know whether it should render the items associated with the module, but perhaps there are use cases for this information to not be forgotten in the AST.
