Joshua Netterfield reported an ICE when the unused-parentheses lint
triggered around an async block (#54752). In order to compose an
autofixable suggestion, the lint invokes the pretty-printer on the
unnecessarily-parenthesized expression. (One wonders why the lint
doesn't just use `SourceMap::span_to_snippet` instead, to preserve the
formatting of the original source?—but for that, you'd have to ask the
author of 5c9f806d.)
But then the pretty-printer panics when trying to call `<pprust::State
as PrintState>::end` when `State.boxes` is empty. Empirically, the
problem would seem to be solved if we start some "boxes" beforehand in
the `ast::ExprKind::Async` arm of the big match in
`print_expr_outer_attr_style`, exactly like we do in the
immediately-preceding match arm for `ast::ExprKind::Block`—it would
seem pretty ("pretty") reasonable for the pretty-printing of async
blocks to work a lot like the pretty-printing of ordinary non-async
blocks, right??
Of course, it would be shamefully cargo-culty to commit code on the
basis of this kind of mere reasoning-by-analogy (in contrast to
understanding the design of the pretty-printer in such detail that the
correctness of the patch is comprehended with all the lucid certainty
of mathematical proof, rather than being merely surmised by
intuition). But maybe we care more about fixing the bug with high
probability today, than with certainty in some indefinite hypothetical
future? Maybe the effort is worth a fifth of a shirt??
Humbly resolves#54752.
refactor match guard
This is the first step to implement RFC 2294: if-let-guard. Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51114
The second step should be introducing another variant `IfLet` in the Guard enum. I separated them into 2 PRs for the convenience of reviewers.

Our implementation ends up changing the `PatKind::Range` variant in the
AST to take a `Spanned<RangeEnd>` instead of just a `RangeEnd`, because
the alternative would be to try to infer the span of the range operator
from the spans of the start and end subexpressions, which is both
hideous and nontrivial to get right (whereas getting the change to the
AST right was a simple game of type tennis).
This is concerning #51043.
This is gated on edition 2018 & the `async_await` feature gate.
The parser will accept `async fn` and `async unsafe fn` as fn
items. Along the same lines as `const fn`, only `async unsafe fn`
is permitted, not `unsafe async fn`.The parser will not accept
`async` functions as trait methods.
To do a little code clean up, four fields of the function type
struct have been merged into the new `FnHeader` struct: constness,
asyncness, unsafety, and ABI.
Also, a small bug in HIR printing is fixed: it previously printed
`const unsafe fn` as `unsafe const fn`, which is grammatically
incorrect.
This commit updates the `Mac_` AST structure to keep track of the delimiters
that it originally had for its invocation. This allows us to faithfully
pretty-print macro invocations not using parentheses (e.g. `vec![...]`). This in
turn helps procedural macros due to #43081.
Closes#50840
