This implements RFC 1624, tracking issue #37339.
- `FnCtxt` (in typeck) gets a stack of `LoopCtxt`s, which store the
currently deduced type of that loop, the desired type, and a list of
break expressions currently seen. `loop` loops get a fresh type
variable as their initial type (this logic is stolen from that for
arrays). `while` loops get `()`.
- `break {expr}` looks up the broken loop, and unifies the type of
`expr` with the type of the loop.
- `break` with no expr unifies the loop's type with `()`.
- When building MIR, `loop` loops no longer construct a `()` value at
termination of the loop; rather, the `break` expression assigns the
result of the loop. `while` loops are unchanged.
- `break` respects contexts in which expressions may not end with braced
blocks. That is, `while break { break-value } { while-body }` is
illegal; this preserves backwards compatibility.
- The RFC did not make it clear, but I chose to make `break ()` inside
of a `while` loop illegal, just in case we wanted to do anything with
that design space in the future.
This is my first time dealing with this part of rustc so I'm sure
there's plenty of problems to pick on here ^_^
This applies the HIR changes from the previous commits to the AST, and
is thus a syntax-[breaking-change]
Renames `PatKind::Vec` to `PatKind::Slice`, since these are called slice
patterns, not vec patterns. Renames `TyKind::Vec`, which represents the
type `[T]`, to `TyKind::Slice`. Renames `TyKind::FixedLengthVec` to
`TyKind::Array`.
I am using `ThinAttributes` rather than a vector for attributes
attached to generics, since I expect almost all lifetime and types
parameters to not carry any attributes.
Refactor `PathListItem`s
This refactors away variant `Mod` of `ast::PathListItemKind` and refactors the remaining variant `Ident` to a struct `ast::PathListItem_`.
To allow these braced macro invocation, this PR removes the optional expression from `ast::Block` and instead uses a `StmtKind::Expr` at the end of the statement list.
Currently, braced macro invocations in blocks can expand into statements (and items) except when they are last in a block, in which case they can only expand into expressions.
For example,
```rust
macro_rules! make_stmt {
() => { let x = 0; }
}
fn f() {
make_stmt! {} //< This is OK...
let x = 0; //< ... unless this line is commented out.
}
```
Fixes#34418.

(Only breaking because ast::TokenTree is now tokenstream::TokenTree.)
This pull request refactors TokenTrees into their own file as src/libsyntax/tokenstream.rs, moving them out of src/libsyntax/ast.rs, in order to prepare for an accompanying TokenStream implementation (per RFC 1566).
This PR refactors the 'errors' part of libsyntax into its own crate (librustc_errors). This is the first part of a few refactorings to simplify error reporting and potentially support more output formats (like a standardized JSON output and possibly an --explain mode that can work with the user's code), though this PR stands on its own and doesn't assume further changes.
As part of separating out the errors crate, I have also refactored the code position portion of codemap into its own crate (libsyntax_pos). While it's helpful to have the common code positions in a separate crate for the new errors crate, this may also enable further simplifications in the future.
