It's like `Symbol` but for byte strings. The interner is now used for
both `Symbol` and `ByteSymbol`. E.g. if you intern `"dog"` and `b"dog"`
you'll get a `Symbol` and a `ByteSymbol` with the same index and the
characters will only be stored once.
The motivation for this is to eliminate the `Arc`s in `ast::LitKind`, to
make `ast::LitKind` impl `Copy`, and to avoid the need to arena-allocate
`ast::LitKind` in HIR. The latter change reduces peak memory by a
non-trivial amount on literal-heavy benchmarks such as `deep-vector` and
`tuple-stress`.
`Encoder`, `Decoder`, `SpanEncoder`, and `SpanDecoder` all get some
changes so that they can handle normal strings and byte strings.
This change does slow down compilation of programs that use
`include_bytes!` on large files, because the contents of those files are
now interned (hashed). This makes `include_bytes!` more similar to
`include_str!`, though `include_bytes!` contents still aren't escaped,
and hashing is still much cheaper than escaping.
To accurately reflect that RPITIT assoc items don't have a name. This
avoids the use of `kw::Empty` to mean "no name", which is error prone.
Helps with #137978.
`hir::AssocItem` currently has a boolean `fn_has_self_parameter` field,
which is misplaced, because it's only relevant for associated fns, not
for associated consts or types. This commit moves it (and renames it) to
the `AssocKind::Fn` variant, where it belongs.
This requires introducing a new C-style enum, `AssocTag`, which is like
`AssocKind` but without the fields. This is because `AssocKind` values
are passed to various functions like `find_by_ident_and_kind` to
indicate what kind of associated item should be searched for, and having
to specify `has_self` isn't relevant there.
New methods:
- Predicates `AssocItem::is_fn` and `AssocItem::is_method`.
- `AssocItem::as_tag` which converts `AssocItem::kind` to `AssocTag`.
Removed `find_by_name_and_kinds`, which is unused.
`AssocItem::descr` can now distinguish between methods and associated
functions, which slightly improves some error messages.
It bugs me when variables of type `Ident` are called `name`. It leads to
silly things like `name.name`. `Ident` variables should be called
`ident`, and `name` should be used for variables of type `Symbol`.
This commit improves things by by doing `s/name/ident/` on a bunch of
`Ident` variables. Not all of them, but a decent chunk.
Continuing the work from #137350.
Removes the unused methods: `expect_variant`, `expect_field`,
`expect_foreign_item`.
Every method gains a `hir_` prefix.
Continuing the work started in #136466.
Every method gains a `hir_` prefix, though for the ones that already
have a `par_` or `try_par_` prefix I added the `hir_` after that.
First of all, note that `Map` has three different relevant meanings.
- The `intravisit::Map` trait.
- The `map::Map` struct.
- The `NestedFilter::Map` associated type.
The `intravisit::Map` trait is impl'd twice.
- For `!`, where the methods are all unreachable.
- For `map::Map`, which gets HIR stuff from the `TyCtxt`.
As part of getting rid of `map::Map`, this commit changes `impl
intravisit::Map for map::Map` to `impl intravisit::Map for TyCtxt`. It's
fairly straightforward except various things are renamed, because the
existing names would no longer have made sense.
- `trait intravisit::Map` becomes `trait intravisit::HirTyCtxt`, so named
because it gets some HIR stuff from a `TyCtxt`.
- `NestedFilter::Map` assoc type becomes `NestedFilter::MaybeTyCtxt`,
because it's always `!` or `TyCtxt`.
- `Visitor::nested_visit_map` becomes `Visitor::maybe_tcx`.
I deliberately made the new trait and associated type names different to
avoid the old `type Map: Map` situation, which I found confusing. We now
have `type MaybeTyCtxt: HirTyCtxt`.
The end goal is to eliminate `Map` altogether.
I added a `hir_` prefix to all of them, that seemed simplest. The
exceptions are `module_items` which became `hir_module_free_items` because
there was already a `hir_module_items`, and `items` which became
`hir_free_items` for consistency with `hir_module_free_items`.
`rustc_middle` is a huge crate and it's always good to move stuff out of
it. There are lots of similar methods already on `Span`, so these two
functions, `in_external_macro` and `is_from_async_await`, fit right in.
The diff is big because `in_external_macro` is used a lot by clippy
lints.
the behavior of the type system not only depends on the current
assumptions, but also the currentnphase of the compiler. This is
mostly necessary as we need to decide whether and how to reveal
opaque types. We track this via the `TypingMode`.
Remove region from adjustments
It's not necessary to store this region, because it's only used in THIR and MemCat/ExprUse, both of which already basically only deal with erased regions anyways.
