- Added syntax support for attributes on expressions and all syntax 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.
- As per RFC, attributes are not yet accepted on `if` expressions.
Examples:
```rust
let x = y;
{
...
}
assert_eq!((1, #[cfg(unset)] 2, 3), (1, 3));
let FOO = 0;
```
Implementation wise, there are a few rough corners and open questions:
- The parser work ended up a bit ugly.
- The pretty printer change was based mostly on guessing.
- Similar to the `if` case, there are some places in the grammar where a new `Expr` node starts,
but where it seemed weird to accept attributes and hence the parser doesn't. This includes:
- const expressions in patterns
- in the middle of an postfix operator chain (that is, after `.`, before indexing, before calls)
- on range expressions, since `#[attr] x .. y` parses as `(#[attr] x) .. y`, which is inconsistent with
`#[attr] .. y` which would parse as `#[attr] (.. y)`
- Attributes are added as additional `Option<Box<Vec<Attribute>>>` fields in expressions and locals.
- Memory impact has not been measured yet.
- A cfg-away trailing expression in a block does not currently promote the previous `StmtExpr` in a block to a new trailing expr. That is to say, this won't work:
```rust
let x = {
#[cfg(foo)]
Foo { data: x }
#[cfg(not(foo))]
Foo { data: y }
};
```
- One-element tuples can have their inner expression removed to become Unit, but just Parenthesis can't. Eg, `(#[cfg(unset)] x,) == ()` but `(#[cfg(unset)] x) == error`. This seemed reasonable to me since tuples and unit are type constructors, but could probably be argued either way.
- Attributes on macro nodes are currently unconditionally dropped during macro expansion, which seemed fine since macro disappear at that point?
- Attributes on `ast::ExprParens` will be prepend-ed to the inner expression in the hir folder.
- The work on pretty printer tests for this did trigger, but not fix errors regarding macros:
- expression `foo![]` prints as `foo!()`
- expression `foo!{}` prints as `foo!()`
- statement `foo![];` prints as `foo!();`
- statement `foo!{};` prints as `foo!();`
- statement `foo!{}` triggers a `None` unwrap ICE.
The local item-path includes the local crates path to the extern crate
declaration which breaks cross-crate rustdoc links if the extern crate
is not linked into the crate root or renamed via `extern foo as bar`.
This PR allows the constant evaluation of index operations on constant arrays and repeat expressions. This allows index expressions to appear in the expression path of the length expression of a repeat expression or an array type.
An example is
```rust
const ARR: [usize; 5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const ARR2: [usize; ARR[1]] = [42, 99];
```
In most other locations llvm's const evaluator figures it out already. This is not specific to index expressions and could be remedied in the future.

[breaking-change], needs crater run (cc @brson or @alexcrichton )
The pattern with parens `UnitVariant(..)` for unit variants seems to be popular in rustc (see the second commit), but mostly used by one person (@nikomatsakis), according to git blame. If it causes breakage on crates.io I'll add an exceptional case for it.
Fixes#13677
This does the same sort of suggestion for misspelt macros that we already do for misspelt identifiers.
Example. Compiling this program:
```rust
macro_rules! foo {
($e:expr) => ( $e )
}
fn main() {
fob!("hello!");
}
```
gives the following error message:
```
/Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7:5: 7:8 error: macro undefined: 'fob!'
/Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7 fob!("hello!");
^~~
/Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7:5: 7:8 help: did you mean `foo`?
/Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7 fob!("hello!");
```
I had to move the levenshtein distance function into libsyntax for this. Maybe this should live somewhere else (some utility crate?), but I couldn't find a crate to put it in that is imported by libsyntax and the other rustc crates.
under OpenBSD and Bitrig, it is an error to pass an empty argv
argument to execve(2). It results the test fail as execve(2) don't exec
and set errno to EINVAL.
instead, make argv with two arguments (in order to differenciate the
initial call, from the execve call).

The graph extent mechanism is not good. I have some ideas for a better replacement, but this PR simply removes it. It also stops recursing on statement scopes and processes them using an "on the heap" stack, which fixes#29466.
