Make errors for unnecessary visibility qualifiers consistent
This PR refactors away `syntax::parse::parser::ParsePub` so that unnecessary visibility qualifiers on variant fields are reported not by the parser but by `privacy::SanePrivacyVisitor` (thanks to @petrochenkov's drive-by improvements in #31919).

Mostly copy the tests from half-open ranges, adding some more for
DoubleEndedIterator and ExactSizeIterator.
Also thoroughly (I think) test that the feature gates are working.
Some tests just add the extra errors, others I fix by doing some simple error recovery. I've tried to avoid doing too much in the hope of doing something more principled later.
In general error messages are getting worse at this stage, but I think in the long run they will get better.
Previously when breaking tokens into smaller pieces, the replace_token
function have been used. It replaced current token and updated span
information, but it did not clear the list of expected tokens, neither
did it update remaining info about last token. This could lead to
incorrect error message, like one described in the issue #24780:
expected one of ... `>` ... found `>`
This is achieved by adding the scan_back method. This method looks back
through the source_text of the StringReader until it finds the target
char, returning it's offset in the source. We use this method to find
the offset of the opening single quote, and use that offset as the start
of the error.
Given this code:
```rust
fn main() {
let _ = 'abcd';
}
```
The compiler would give a message like:
```
error: character literal may only contain one codepoint: ';
let _ = 'abcd';
^~
```
With this change, the message now displays:
```
error: character literal may only contain one codepoint: 'abcd';
let _ = 'abcd';
^~~~~~~
```
Fixes#30033

The motivation (other than removing boilerplate) is that this is a baby step towards a parser with error recovery.
[breaking-change] if you use any of the changed functions, you'll need to remove a try! or panictry!
The current help message is too much about "normal" macros to be used
as general message. Keep it for normal macros, and add custom help and
error messages for macro definitions.
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.
If you try to put something that's bigger than a char into a char
literal, you get an error:
fn main() {
let c = 'ஶ்ரீ';
}
error: unterminated character constant:
This is a very compiler-centric message. Yes, it's technically
'unterminated', but that's not what you, the user did wrong.
Instead, this commit changes it to
error: character literal may only contain one codepoint
As this actually tells you what went wrong.
Fixes#28851
This commit generalises parsing of associative operators from left-associative
only (with some ugly hacks to support right-associative assignment) to properly
left/right-associative operators.
Parsing still is not general enough to handle non-associative,
non-highest-precedence prefix or non-highest-precedence postfix operators (e.g.
`..` range syntax), though. That should be fixed in the future.
Lastly, this commit adds support for parsing right-associative `<-` (left arrow)
operator with precedence higher than assignment as the operator for placement-in
feature.
Previously, if you copied a signature from a trait definition such as:
```
fn foo<'a>(&'a Bar) -> bool {}
```
and moved it into an `impl`, there would be an error message:
"unexpected token `'a`"
Adding to the error message that a pattern is expected should help
users to find the actual problem with using a lifetime here.
This pull request implements the functionality for [RFC 873](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0873-type-macros.md). This is currently just an update of @freebroccolo's branch from January, the corresponding commits are linked in each commit message.
@nikomatsakis and I had talked about updating the macro language to support a lifetime fragment specifier, and it is possible to do that work on this branch as well. If so we can (collectively) talk about it next week during the pre-RustCamp work week.
This improves diagnostic messages when \u escape is used incorrectly and { is
missing. Instead of saying “unknown character escape: u”, it will now report
that unicode escape sequence is incomplete and suggest what the correct syntax
is.
Most of these are old, but some specific messages for specific tests:
* trait-contravariant-self.rs: failed due to a soundess hole:
05e3248a79
* process-detatch: 15966c3c1f
says "this test is being ignored until signals are implemented" That's
not happening for a long time, and when it is, we'll write tests for
it.
* deep-vector{,2}.rs: "too big for our poor macro infrastructure", and has
been ignored over a year.
* borrowck-nested-calls.rs's FIXME #6268 was closed in favor of
rust-lang/rfcs#811
* issue-15167.rs works properly now
* issue-9737.rs works properly now
* match-var-hygiene.rs works properly now
Addresses a chunk of #3965
