`parse_cfgspecs` and `parse_check_cfg` run very early, before the main
interner is running. They each use a short-lived interner and convert
all interned symbols to strings in their output data structures. Once
the main interner starts up, these data structures get converted into
new data structures that are identical except with the strings converted
to symbols.
All is not obvious from the current code, which is a mess, particularly
with inconsistent naming that obscures the parallel string/symbol data
structures. This commit clean things up a lot.
- The existing `CheckCfg` type is generic, allowing both
`CheckCfg<String>` and `CheckCfg<Symbol>` forms. This is really
useful, but it defaults to `String`. The commit removes the default so
we have to use `CheckCfg<String>` and `CheckCfg<Symbol>` explicitly,
which makes things clearer.
- Introduces `Cfg`, which is generic over `String` and `Symbol`, similar
to `CheckCfg`.
- Renames some things.
- `parse_cfgspecs` -> `parse_cfg`
- `CfgSpecs` -> `Cfg<String>`, plus it's used in more places, rather
than the underlying `FxHashSet` type.
- `CrateConfig` -> `Cfg<Symbol>`.
- `CrateCheckConfig` -> `CheckCfg<Symbol>`
- Adds some comments explaining the string-to-symbol conversions.
- `to_crate_check_config`, which converts `CheckCfg<String>` to
`CheckCfg<Symbol>`, is inlined and removed and combined with the
overly-general `CheckCfg::map_data` to produce
`CheckCfg::<String>::intern`.
- `build_configuration` now does the `Cfg<String>`-to-`Cfg<Symbol>`
conversion, so callers don't need to, which removes the need for
`to_crate_config`.
The diff for two of the fields in `Config` is a good example of the
improved clarity:
```
- pub crate_cfg: FxHashSet<(String, Option<String>)>,
- pub crate_check_cfg: CheckCfg,
+ pub crate_cfg: Cfg<String>,
+ pub crate_check_cfg: CheckCfg<String>,
```
Compare that with the diff for the corresponding fields in `ParseSess`,
and the relationship to `Config` is much clearer than before:
```
- pub config: CrateConfig,
- pub check_config: CrateCheckConfig,
+ pub config: Cfg<Symbol>,
+ pub check_config: CheckCfg<Symbol>,
```
