This has no noticeable effect, but it makes these cases follow the
guidelines in the comments on `Spacing`, which say that `Joint` should
be used "for each token that (a) should be pretty-printed without a
space after it, and (b) is followed by a punctuation token".
These two tokens are both followed by a comma, which is a punctuation
token.
`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.
There was an incomplete version of the check in parsing and a second
version in AST validation. This meant that some, but not all, invalid
uses were allowed inside macros/disabled cfgs. It also means that later
passes have a hard time knowing when the let expression is in a valid
location, sometimes causing ICEs.
- Add a field to ExprKind::Let in AST/HIR to mark whether it's in a
valid location.
- Suppress later errors and MIR construction for invalid let
expressions.
Indexing is similar to method calls in having an arbitrary
left-hand-side and then something on the right, which is the main part
of the expression. Method calls already have a span for that right part,
but indexing does not. This means that long method chains that use
indexing have really bad spans, especially when the indexing panics and
that span in coverted into a panic location.
This does the same thing as method calls for the AST and HIR, storing an
extra span which is then put into the `fn_span` field in THIR.
It's the same as `Delimiter`, minus the `Invisible` variant. I'm
generally in favour of using types to make impossible states
unrepresentable, but this one feels very low-value, and the conversions
between the two types are annoying and confusing.
Look at the change in `src/tools/rustfmt/src/expr.rs` for an example:
the old code converted from `MacDelimiter` to `Delimiter` and back
again, for no good reason. This suggests the author was confused about
the types.

Lower them into a single item with multiple resolutions instead.
This also allows to remove additional `NodId`s and `DefId`s related to those additional items.
There is code for converting `Attribute` (syntactic) to `MetaItem`
(semantic). There is also code for the reverse direction. The reverse
direction isn't really necessary; it's currently only used when
generating attributes, e.g. in `derive` code.
This commit adds some new functions for creating `Attributes`s directly,
without involving `MetaItem`s: `mk_attr_word`, `mk_attr_name_value_str`,
`mk_attr_nested_word`, and
`ExtCtxt::attr_{word,name_value_str,nested_word}`.
These new methods replace the old functions for creating `Attribute`s:
`mk_attr_inner`, `mk_attr_outer`, and `ExtCtxt::attribute`. Those
functions took `MetaItem`s as input, and relied on many other functions
that created `MetaItems`, which are also removed: `mk_name_value_item`,
`mk_list_item`, `mk_word_item`, `mk_nested_word_item`,
`{MetaItem,MetaItemKind,NestedMetaItem}::token_trees`,
`MetaItemKind::attr_args`, `MetaItemLit::{from_lit_kind,to_token}`,
`ExtCtxt::meta_word`.
Overall this cuts more than 100 lines of code and makes thing simpler.
`MacArgs` is an enum with three variants: `Empty`, `Delimited`, and `Eq`. It's
used in two ways:
- For representing attribute macro arguments (e.g. in `AttrItem`), where all
three variants are used.
- For representing function-like macros (e.g. in `MacCall` and `MacroDef`),
where only the `Delimited` variant is used.
In other words, `MacArgs` is used in two quite different places due to them
having partial overlap. I find this makes the code hard to read. It also leads
to various unreachable code paths, and allows invalid values (such as
accidentally using `MacArgs::Empty` in a `MacCall`).
This commit splits `MacArgs` in two:
- `DelimArgs` is a new struct just for the "delimited arguments" case. It is
now used in `MacCall` and `MacroDef`.
- `AttrArgs` is a renaming of the old `MacArgs` enum for the attribute macro
case. Its `Delimited` variant now contains a `DelimArgs`.
Various other related things are renamed as well.
These changes make the code clearer, avoids several unreachable paths, and
disallows the invalid values.
`rustc_data_structures::thin_vec::ThinVec` looks like this:
```
pub struct ThinVec<T>(Option<Box<Vec<T>>>);
```
It's just a zero word if the vector is empty, but requires two
allocations if it is non-empty. So it's only usable in cases where the
vector is empty most of the time.
This commit removes it in favour of `thin_vec::ThinVec`, which is also
word-sized, but stores the length and capacity in the same allocation as
the elements. It's good in a wider variety of situation, e.g. in enum
variants where the vector is usually/always non-empty.
The commit also:
- Sorts some `Cargo.toml` dependency lists, to make additions easier.
- Sorts some `use` item lists, to make additions easier.
- Changes `clean_trait_ref_with_bindings` to take a
`ThinVec<TypeBinding>` rather than a `&[TypeBinding]`, because this
avoid some unnecessary allocations.
In some places we use `Vec<Attribute>` and some places we use
`ThinVec<Attribute>` (a.k.a. `AttrVec`). This results in various points
where we have to convert between `Vec` and `ThinVec`.
This commit changes the places that use `Vec<Attribute>` to use
`AttrVec`. A lot of this is mechanical and boring, but there are
some interesting parts:
- It adds a few new methods to `ThinVec`.
- It implements `MapInPlace` for `ThinVec`, and introduces a macro to
avoid the repetition of this trait for `Vec`, `SmallVec`, and
`ThinVec`.
Overall, it makes the code a little nicer, and has little effect on
performance. But it is a precursor to removing
`rustc_data_structures::thin_vec::ThinVec` and replacing it with
`thin_vec::ThinVec`, which is implemented more efficiently.
A `TokenStream` contains a `Lrc<Vec<(TokenTree, Spacing)>>`. But this is
not quite right. `Spacing` makes sense for `TokenTree::Token`, but does
not make sense for `TokenTree::Delimited`, because a
`TokenTree::Delimited` cannot be joined with another `TokenTree`.
This commit fixes this problem, by adding `Spacing` to `TokenTree::Token`,
changing `TokenStream` to contain a `Lrc<Vec<TokenTree>>`, and removing the
`TreeAndSpacing` typedef.
The commit removes these two impls:
- `impl From<TokenTree> for TokenStream`
- `impl From<TokenTree> for TreeAndSpacing`
These were useful, but also resulted in code with many `.into()` calls
that was hard to read, particularly for anyone not highly familiar with
the relevant types. This commit makes some other changes to compensate:
- `TokenTree::token()` becomes `TokenTree::token_{alone,joint}()`.
- `TokenStream::token_{alone,joint}()` are added.
- `TokenStream::delimited` is added.
This results in things like this:
```rust
TokenTree::token(token::Semi, stmt.span).into()
```
changing to this:
```rust
TokenStream::token_alone(token::Semi, stmt.span)
```
This makes the type of the result, and its spacing, clearer.
These changes also simplifies `Cursor` and `CursorRef`, because they no longer
need to distinguish between `next` and `next_with_spacing`.
