This implements RFC 1624, tracking issue #37339.
- `FnCtxt` (in typeck) gets a stack of `LoopCtxt`s, which store the
currently deduced type of that loop, the desired type, and a list of
break expressions currently seen. `loop` loops get a fresh type
variable as their initial type (this logic is stolen from that for
arrays). `while` loops get `()`.
- `break {expr}` looks up the broken loop, and unifies the type of
`expr` with the type of the loop.
- `break` with no expr unifies the loop's type with `()`.
- When building MIR, `loop` loops no longer construct a `()` value at
termination of the loop; rather, the `break` expression assigns the
result of the loop. `while` loops are unchanged.
- `break` respects contexts in which expressions may not end with braced
blocks. That is, `while break { break-value } { while-body }` is
illegal; this preserves backwards compatibility.
- The RFC did not make it clear, but I chose to make `break ()` inside
of a `while` loop illegal, just in case we wanted to do anything with
that design space in the future.
This is my first time dealing with this part of rustc so I'm sure
there's plenty of problems to pick on here ^_^
Fix syntax error in the compiler
Currently `rustc` accepts the following code: `fn f<'a>() where 'a {}`. This should be a syntax error, shouldn't it?
Not sure if my changes actually compile, waiting for the LLVM to build.
Most of the Rust community agrees that the vec! macro is clearer when
called using square brackets [] instead of regular brackets (). Most of
these ocurrences are from before macros allowed using different types of
brackets.
There is one left unchanged in a pretty-print test, as the pretty
printer still wants it to have regular brackets.
Fix bad error message with `::<` in types
Fix#36116.
Before:

Recover out of an enum or struct's braced block.
If we encounter a syntax error inside of a braced block, then we should
fail by consuming the rest of the block if possible.
This implements such recovery for enums and structs.
Fixes#37113.

Allow more non-inline modules in blocks
Currently, non-inline modules without a `#[path]` attribute are not allowed in blocks.
This PR allows non-inline modules that have an ancestor module with a `#[path]` attribute, provided there is not a nearer ancestor block.
For example,
```rust
fn main() {
#[path = "..."] mod foo {
mod bar; //< allowed by this PR
fn f() {
mod bar; //< still an error
}
}
}
```
Fixes#36772.

This applies the HIR changes from the previous commits to the AST, and
is thus a syntax-[breaking-change]
Renames `PatKind::Vec` to `PatKind::Slice`, since these are called slice
patterns, not vec patterns. Renames `TyKind::Vec`, which represents the
type `[T]`, to `TyKind::Slice`. Renames `TyKind::FixedLengthVec` to
`TyKind::Array`.
I am using `ThinAttributes` rather than a vector for attributes
attached to generics, since I expect almost all lifetime and types
parameters to not carry any attributes.
Optimize the parser's last token handling.
The parser currently makes a heap copy of the last token in four cases:
identifiers, paths, doc comments, and commas. The identifier and
interpolation cases are unused, and for doc comments and commas we only
need to record their presence, not their value.
This commit consolidates the last token handling and avoids the
unnecessary copies by replacing `last_token`, `last_token_eof`, and
`last_token_interpolated` with a new field `last_token_kind`. This
simplifies the parser slightly and speeds up parsing on some files by
3--4%.
