Add {ast,hir,thir}::PatKind::Missing
variants.
"Missing" patterns are possible in bare fn types (`fn f(u32)`) and similar places. Currently these are represented in the AST with `ast::PatKind::Ident` with no `by_ref`, no `mut`, an empty ident, and no sub-pattern. This flows through to `{hir,thir}::PatKind::Binding` for HIR and THIR. This is a bit nasty. It's very non-obvious, and easy to forget to check for the exceptional empty identifier case. This commit adds a new variant, `PatKind::Missing`, to do it properly. The process I followed: - Add a `Missing` variant to `{ast,hir,thir}::PatKind`. - Chang `parse_param_general` to produce `ast::PatKind::Missing` instead of `ast::PatKind::Missing`. - Look through `kw::Empty` occurrences to find functions where an existing empty ident check needs replacing with a `PatKind::Missing` check: `print_param`, `check_trait_item`, `is_named_param`. - Add a `PatKind::Missing => unreachable!(),` arm to every exhaustive match identified by the compiler. - Find which arms are actually reachable by running the test suite, changing them to something appropriate, usually by looking at what would happen to a `PatKind::Ident`/`PatKind::Binding` with no ref, no `mut`, an empty ident, and no subpattern. Quite a few of the `unreachable!()` arms were never reached. This makes sense because `PatKind::Missing` can't happen in every pattern, only in places like bare fn tys and trait fn decls. I also tried an alternative approach: modifying `ast::Param::pat` to hold an `Option<P<Pat>>` instead of a `P<Pat>`, but that quickly turned into a very large and painful change. Adding `PatKind::Missing` is much easier.
