There are 4 different new tests, to check some different scenarios for
what the parse context is at the time of recovery, becasue our
compile-fail infrastructure does not appear to handle verifying
error-recovery situations.
Differentiate between unit-like struct definition item and unit-like
struct construction in the error message.
----
More generally, outlines a more generic strategy for parse error
recovery: By committing to an expression/statement at set points in
the parser, we can then do some look-ahead to catch common mistakes
and skip over them.
One detail about this strategy is that you want to avoid emitting the
"helpful" message unless the input is reasonably close to the case of
interest. (E.g. do not warn about a potential unit struct for an
input of the form `let hmm = do foo { } { };`)
To accomplish this, I added (partial) last_token tracking; used for
`commit_stmt` support.
The check_for_erroneous_unit_struct_expecting fn returns bool to
signal whether it "made progress"; currently unused; this is meant for
use to compose several such recovery checks together in a loop.
The two deletions are because the test cases are very old (still using `class` and modes!), and, as far as I can tell (since they are so old), the areas they test are well tested by other rpass tests.
Some general clean-up relating to deriving:
- `TotalOrd` was too eager, and evaluated the `.cmp` call for every field, even if it could short-circuit earlier.
- the pointer types didn't have impls for `TotalOrd` or `TotalEq`.
- the Makefiles didn't reach deep enough into libsyntax for dependencies.
(Split out from https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/8258.)
This module provided adaptors for the old internal iterator protocol,
but they proved to be quite unreadable and are not generic enough to
handle borrowed pointers well.
Since Rust no longer defines an internal iteration protocol, I don't
think there's going to be any reuse via these adaptors.
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
This is preparation for removing `@fn`.
This does *not* use default methods yet, because I don't know
whether they work. If they do, a forthcoming PR will use them.
This also changes the precedence of `as`.
* All globals marked as `pub` won't have the `internal` linkage type set
* All global references across crates are forced to use the address of the
global in the other crate via an external reference.

Closes#8179
The pipes compiler produced data types that encoded efficient and safe
bounded message passing protocols between two endpoints. It was also
capable of producing unbounded protocols.
It was useful research but was arguably done before its proper time.
I am removing it for the following reasons:
* In practice we used it only for producing the `oneshot` protcol and
the unbounded `stream` protocol and all communication in Rust use those.
* The interface between the proto! macro and the standard library
has a large surface area and was difficult to maintain through
language and library changes.
* It is now written in an old dialect of Rust and generates code
which would likely be considered non-idiomatic.
* Both the compiler and the runtime are difficult to understand,
and likewise the relationship between the generated code and
the library is hard to understand. Debugging is difficult.
* The new scheduler implements `stream` and `oneshot` by hand
in a way that will be significantly easier to maintain.
This shouldn't be taken as an indication that 'channel protocols'
for Rust are not worth pursuing again in the future.

The most likely candidates for closing are #7666, #3018, #3020, #7021, #7667, #7303, #3658, #3295.

Change the former repetition::
for 5.times { }
to::
do 5.times { }
.times() cannot be broken with `break` or `return` anymore; for those
cases, use a numerical range loop instead.
