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.
before this change, the parser would parse 14.a() as a method call, but
would parse 14.ø() as the floating-point number 14. followed by a function
call. This is because it was checking is_alpha, rather than ident_start,
and was therefore wrong with respect to unicode.
This removes some of the easier instances of mutable fields where the explicit self can just become `&mut self` along with removing some unsafe blocks which aren't necessary any more now that purity is gone.
Most of #4568 is done, except for [one case](https://github.com/alexcrichton/rust/blob/less-mut-fields/src/libcore/vec.rs#L1754) where it looks like it has to do with it being a `const` vector. Removing the unsafe block yields:
```

I also didn't delve too much into removing mutable fields with `Cell` or `transmute` and friends.
Changes the parser to parse all streams into token-trees before hitting the parser proper, in preparation for hygiene. As an added bonus, it appears to speed up the parser (albeit by a totally imperceptible 1%).
Also, many comments in the parser.
Also, field renaming in token-trees (readme->forest, cur->stack).
Adds an assert_eq! macro that asserts that its two arguments are equal. Error messages can therefore be somewhat more informative than a simple assert, because the error message includes "expected" and "given" values.
For bootstrapping purposes, this commit does not remove all uses of
the keyword "pure" -- doing so would cause the compiler to no longer
bootstrap due to some syntax extensions ("deriving" in particular).
Instead, it makes the compiler ignore "pure". Post-snapshot, we can
remove "pure" from the language.
There are quite a few (~100) borrow check errors that were essentially
all the result of mutable fields or partial borrows of `@mut`. Per
discussions with Niko I think we want to allow partial borrows of
`@mut` but detect obvious footguns. We should also improve the error
message when `@mut` is erroneously reborrowed.
