* Renamed str::split -> str::split_byte
* Renamed str::splitn -> str::splitn_byte
* Renamed str::split_func -> str::split
* Renamed str::split_char -> str::split_char
* Renamed str::split_chars_iter -> str::split_char_iter
* Added u8::is_ascii
* Fixed the behavior of str::split_str, so that it matches split_chars
and split (i.e. ["", "XXX", "YYY", ""] == split_str(".XXX.YYY.", "."))
* Fixed str::split_byte and str::splitn_byte so that they handle
splitting UTF-8 strings on a given UTF-8/ASCII byte and also handle ""
as the others do
Closes #1728
Comments out a section of debuginfo.rs. This code was already broken
(only being called when --xg was passed, and only working on trivial
programs).
It is now no longer needed to have a ty::ctxt to get at the contents
of a ty::t. The straight-forward approach of doing this, simply making
ty::t a box type, unfortunately killed our compiler performance (~15%
slower) through refcounting cost. Thus, this patch now represents
ty::t as an unsafe pointer, assuming that the ty::ctxt, which holds
these boxes alive, outlives any uses of the ty::t values. In the
current compiler this trivially holds, but it is does of course add a
new potential pitfall.
ty::get takes a ty::t and returns a boxed representation of the type.
I've changed calls to ty::struct(X) to do ty::get(X).struct. Type
structs are full of vectors, and copying them every time we wanted to
access them was a bit of a cost.
This allows a 'Name:' to appear in front of an iface declaration's
name, which will cause 'Name' to refer to the self type (with the same
number of type parameters as the iface has) in the method signatures
of the iface. For example:
iface F: functor<A> {
fn fmap<B>(f: fn(A) -> B) -> F<B>;
}
Issue #1718
In addition add information about the macro doing the expansion, and
move the printing of the expansion backtrace from codemap::span_to_str
to the diagnostic code. The backtrace is now more verbose and
includes information on the macro doing the expansion, in addition to
the expansion site.
