Since it's inception a long time ago, the parallel compiler and its cfgs
have been a maintenance burden. This was a necessary evil the allow
iteration while not degrading performance because of synchronization
overhead.
But this time is over. Thanks to the amazing work by the parallel
working group (and the dyn sync crimes), the parallel compiler has now
been fast enough to be shipped by default in nightly for quite a while
now.
Stable and beta have still been on the serial compiler, because they
can't use `-Zthreads` anyways.
But this is quite suboptimal:
- the maintenance burden still sucks
- we're not testing the serial compiler in nightly
Because of these reasons, it's time to end it. The serial compiler has
served us well in the years since it was split from the parallel one,
but it's over now.
Let the knight slay one head of the two-headed dragon!
This commit does the following.
- Pulls the code out of `AttrTokenStream::to_token_trees` into a new
function `attrs_and_tokens_to_token_trees`.
- Simplifies `TokenStream::from_ast` by calling the new function. This
is nicer than the old way, which created a temporary
`AttrTokenStream` containing a single `AttrsTarget` (which required
some cloning) just to call `to_token_trees` on it. (It is good to
remove this use of `AttrsTarget` which isn't related to `cfg_attr`
expansion.)
The only place it is meaningfully used is in a panic message in
`TokenStream::from_ast`. But `node.span()` doesn't need to be printed
because `node` is also printed and it must contain the span.
Currently it uses a mixture of functional style (`flat_map`) and
imperative style (`push`), which is a bit hard to read. This commit
converts it to fully imperative, which is more concise and avoids the
need for `smallvec`.
I.e. change the return type from `TokenStream` to `Vec<TokenTree>`.
Most of the callsites require a `TokenStream`, but the recursive call
used to create `target_tokens` requires a `Vec<TokenTree>`. It's easy
to convert a `Vec<TokenTree>` to a `TokenStream` (just call
`TokenStream::new`) but it's harder to convert a `TokenStream` to a
`Vec<TokenTree>` (either iterate/clone/collect, or use `Lrc::into_inner`
if appropriate).
So this commit changes the return value to simplify that `target_tokens`
call site.
The extra span is now recorded in the new `TokenKind::NtIdent` and
`TokenKind::NtLifetime`. These both consist of a single token, and so
there's no operator precedence problems with inserting them directly
into the token stream.
The other way to do this would be to wrap the ident/lifetime in invisible
delimiters, but there's a lot of code that assumes an interpolated
ident/lifetime fits in a single token, and changing all that code to work with
invisible delimiters would have been a pain. (Maybe it could be done in a
follow-up.)
This change might not seem like much of a win, but it's a first step toward the
much bigger and long-desired removal of `Nonterminal` and
`TokenKind::Interpolated`. That change is big and complex enough that it's
worth doing this piece separately. (Indeed, this commit is based on part of a
late commit in #114647, a prior attempt at that big and complex change.)
This span records the declaration of the metavariable in the LHS of the macro.
It's used in a couple of error messages. Unfortunately, it gets in the way of
the long-term goal of removing `TokenKind::Interpolated`. So this commit
removes it, which degrades a couple of (obscure) error messages but makes
things simpler and enables the next commit.
It uses very old language that is more confusing today than helpful,
including references to `SubstNt` that no longer exists. The comment
above `TokenStream` is better, and suffices for a basic understanding of
these types.
Avoid specialization in the metadata serialization code
With the exception of a perf-only specialization for byte slices and byte vectors.
This uses the same trick of introducing a new trait and having the Encodable and Decodable derives add a bound to it as used for TyEncoder/TyDecoder. The new code is clearer about which encoder/decoder uses which impl and it reduces the dependency of rustc on specialization, making it easier to remove support for specialization entirely or turn it into a construct that is only allowed for perf optimizations if we decide to do this.
This is an extension of the previous commit. It means the output of
something like this:
```
stringify!(let a: Vec<u32> = vec![];)
```
goes from this:
```
let a: Vec<u32> = vec![] ;
```
With this PR, it now produces this string:
```
let a: Vec<u32> = vec![];
```
`tokenstream::Spacing` appears on all `TokenTree::Token` instances,
both punct and non-punct. Its current usage:
- `Joint` means "can join with the next token *and* that token is a
punct".
- `Alone` means "cannot join with the next token *or* can join with the
next token but that token is not a punct".
The fact that `Alone` is used for two different cases is awkward.
This commit augments `tokenstream::Spacing` with a new variant
`JointHidden`, resulting in:
- `Joint` means "can join with the next token *and* that token is a
punct".
- `JointHidden` means "can join with the next token *and* that token is a
not a punct".
- `Alone` means "cannot join with the next token".
This *drastically* improves the output of `print_tts`. For example,
this:
```
stringify!(let a: Vec<u32> = vec![];)
```
currently produces this string:
```
let a : Vec < u32 > = vec! [] ;
```
With this PR, it now produces this string:
```
let a: Vec<u32> = vec![] ;
```
(The space after the `]` is because `TokenTree::Delimited` currently
doesn't have spacing information. The subsequent commit fixes this.)
The new `print_tts` doesn't replicate original code perfectly. E.g.
multiple space characters will be condensed into a single space
character. But it's much improved.
`print_tts` still produces the old, uglier output for code produced by
proc macros. Because we have to translate the generated code from
`proc_macro::Spacing` to the more expressive `token::Spacing`, which
results in too much `proc_macro::Along` usage and no
`proc_macro::JointHidden` usage. So `space_between` still exists and
is used by `print_tts` in conjunction with the `Spacing` field.
This change will also help with the removal of `Token::Interpolated`.
Currently interpolated tokens are pretty-printed nicely via AST pretty
printing. `Token::Interpolated` removal will mean they get printed with
`print_tts`. Without this change, that would result in much uglier
output for code produced by decl macro expansions. With this change, AST
pretty printing and `print_tts` produce similar results.
The commit also tweaks the comments on `proc_macro::Spacing`. In
particular, it refers to "compound tokens" rather than "multi-char
operators" because lifetimes aren't operators.
`TokenCursor` currently does doc comment desugaring on the fly, if the
`desugar_doc_comment` field is set. This requires also modifying the
token stream on the fly with `replace_prev_and_rewind`.
This commit moves the doc comment desugaring out of `TokenCursor`, by
introducing a new `TokenStream::desugar_doc_comment` method. This
separation of desugaring and iterating makes the code nicer.
This is surprising, but the new comment explains why. It's a logical
conclusion in the drive to avoid `TokenTree` clones.
`TokenTreeCursor` is now only used within `Parser`. It's still needed
due to `replace_prev_and_rewind`.
Sometimes the parser needs to desugar a doc comment into `#[doc =
r"foo"]`. Currently it does this in a hacky way: by pushing a "fake" new
frame (one without a delimiter) onto the `TokenCursor` stack.
This commit changes things so that the token stream itself is modified
in place. The nice thing about this is that it means
`TokenCursorFrame::delim_sp` is now only `None` for the outermost frame.
Convert all the crates that have had their diagnostic migration
completed (except save_analysis because that will be deleted soon and
apfloat because of the licensing problem).
