src/comp/syntax is currently just a sub-module of rustc, but it will,
in the near future, be its own crate. This includes:
- The AST data structure
- The parser
- The pretty-printer
- Visit, walk, and fold
- The syntax extension system
- Some utility stuff that should be in the stdlib*
*) Stdlib extensions currently require a snapshot before they can be
used, and the win build is very broken right now. This is temporary
and will be cleaned up when one of those problems goes away.
A lot of code was moved by this patch, mostly towards a more organized
layout. Some package paths did get longer, and I guess the new layout
will take some getting used to. Sorry about that!
Please try not to re-introduce any dependencies in syntax/ on any of
the other src/comp/ subdirs.
This involved, in part, changing the ast::def type so that a def_fn
has a "purity" field. This lets the typechecker determine whether
functions defined in other crates are pure.
It also required updating some error messages in tests. As a test
for cross-crate constrained functions, I added a safe_slice function
to std::str (slice(), with one of the asserts replaced with a
function precondition) and some test cases (various versions of
fn-constraint.rs) that call it. Also, I changed "fn" to "pred" for
some of the boolean functions in std::uint.
