- 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.

This is my first code contribution to Rust, so I'm sure there are some issues with the changes I've made.
I've added the `quote_arg!`, `quote_block!`, `quote_path!`, and `quote_meta_item!` quasiquoting macros. From my experience trying to build AST in compiler plugins, I would like to be able to build any AST piece with a quasiquoting macro (e.g., `quote_struct_field!` or `quote_variant!`) and then use those AST pieces in other quasiquoting macros, but this pull request just adds some of the low-hanging fruit.
I'm not sure if these additions are desirable, and I'm sure these macros can be implemented in an external crate if not.
This commit generalises parsing of associative operators from left-associative
only (with some ugly hacks to support right-associative assignment) to properly
left/right-associative operators.
Parsing still is not general enough to handle non-associative,
non-highest-precedence prefix or non-highest-precedence postfix operators (e.g.
`..` range syntax), though. That should be fixed in the future.
Lastly, this commit adds support for parsing right-associative `<-` (left arrow)
operator with precedence higher than assignment as the operator for placement-in
feature.
This PR switches the implemented ordering from `unsafe const fn` (as was in the original RFC) to `const unsafe fn` (which is what the lang team decided on)
Previously, if you copied a signature from a trait definition such as:
```rust
fn foo<'a>(&'a Bar) -> bool {}
```
and moved it into an `impl`, there would be an error message:
"unexpected token `'a`"
Adding to the error message that a pattern is expected should help
users to find the actual problem with using a lifetime here.
This commit stabilizes and deprecates library APIs whose FCP has closed in the
last cycle, specifically:
Stabilized APIs:
* `fs::canonicalize`
* `Path::{metadata, symlink_metadata, canonicalize, read_link, read_dir, exists,
is_file, is_dir}` - all moved to inherent methods from the `PathExt` trait.
* `Formatter::fill`
* `Formatter::width`
* `Formatter::precision`
* `Formatter::sign_plus`
* `Formatter::sign_minus`
* `Formatter::alternate`
* `Formatter::sign_aware_zero_pad`
* `string::ParseError`
* `Utf8Error::valid_up_to`
* `Iterator::{cmp, partial_cmp, eq, ne, lt, le, gt, ge}`
* `<[T]>::split_{first,last}{,_mut}`
* `Condvar::wait_timeout` - note that `wait_timeout_ms` is not yet deprecated
but will be once 1.5 is released.
* `str::{R,}MatchIndices`
* `str::{r,}match_indices`
* `char::from_u32_unchecked`
* `VecDeque::insert`
* `VecDeque::shrink_to_fit`
* `VecDeque::as_slices`
* `VecDeque::as_mut_slices`
* `VecDeque::swap_remove_front` - (renamed from `swap_front_remove`)
* `VecDeque::swap_remove_back` - (renamed from `swap_back_remove`)
* `Vec::resize`
* `str::slice_mut_unchecked`
* `FileTypeExt`
* `FileTypeExt::{is_block_device, is_char_device, is_fifo, is_socket}`
* `BinaryHeap::from` - `from_vec` deprecated in favor of this
* `BinaryHeap::into_vec` - plus a `Into` impl
* `BinaryHeap::into_sorted_vec`
Deprecated APIs
* `slice::ref_slice`
* `slice::mut_ref_slice`
* `iter::{range_inclusive, RangeInclusive}`
* `std::dynamic_lib`

Qualified paths allow full path after the `>::`. For example
```rust
<T as Foo>::U::generic_method::<f64>()
```
The example is taken from `test/run-pass/associated-item-long-paths.rs`.
