When items are inlined from extern crates, the filename in the debug info
is taken from the FileMap that's serialized in the rlib metadata.
Currently this is just FileMap.name, which is whatever path is passed to rustc.
Since libcore and libstd are built by invoking rustc with relative paths,
they wind up with relative paths in the rlib, and when linked into a binary
the debug info uses relative paths for the names, but since the compilation
directory for the final binary, tools trying to read source filenames
will wind up with bad paths. We noticed this in Firefox with source
filenames from libcore/libstd having bad paths.
This change stores an absolute path in FileMap.abs_path, and uses that
if available for writing debug info. This is not going to magically make
debuggers able to find the source, but it will at least provide sensible
paths.
This aligns with unicode recommendations and should be stable for all future
unicode releases. See http://unicode.org/reports/tr31/#R3.
This renames `libsyntax::lexer::is_whitespace` to `is_pattern_whitespace`
so potentially breaks users of libsyntax.
Changes the style guidelines regarding unit tests to recommend using a
sub-module named "tests" instead of "test" for unit tests as "test"
might clash with imports of libtest.
- Functions in parser.rs return PResult<> rather than panicing
- Other functions in libsyntax call panic! explicitly for now if they rely on panicing behaviour.
- 'panictry!' macro added as scaffolding while converting panicing functions.
(This does the same as 'unwrap()' but is easier to grep for and turn into try!())
- Leaves panicing wrappers for the following functions so that the
quote_* macros behave the same:
- parse_expr, parse_item, parse_pat, parse_arm, parse_ty, parse_stmt
This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.
