Lexing precedes parsing, as you'd expect: `Lexer` creates a
`TokenStream` and `Parser` then parses that `TokenStream`.
But, in a horrendous violation of layering abstractions and common
sense, `Lexer` depends on `Parser`! The `Lexer::unclosed_delim_err`
method does some error recovery that relies on creating a `Parser` to do
some post-processing of the `TokenStream` that the `Lexer` just created.
This commit just removes `unclosed_delim_err`. This change removes
`Lexer`'s dependency on `Parser`, and also means that `lex_token_tree`'s
return value can have a more typical form.
The cost is slightly worse error messages in two obscure cases, as shown
in these tests:
- tests/ui/parser/brace-in-let-chain.rs: there is slightly less
explanation in this case involving an extra `{`.
- tests/ui/parser/diff-markers/unclosed-delims{,-in-macro}.rs: the diff
marker detection is no longer supported (because that detection is
implemented in the parser).
In my opinion this cost is outweighed by the magnitude of the code
cleanup.
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
