This is intended to alleviate what will be some common boilerplate because
of the Rust compiler error described therein.
This will evolve over time, I'm sure.
DEV-10863
This provides convenience methods atop of the already-existing
functions. These are a bit more ergonomic since they (a) remove a variable
and its generics and (b) are conveniently suggested via LSP (with
e.g. rust-analyzer) if the iterator is of the right type, even if the trait
is not yet imported. This should help with discoverability as well.
These traits augment Rust's built-in traits to handle failure scenarios,
which will allow us to encapsulate lowering logic into discrete,
self-parsing units that enforce e.g. schemas (the example alludes to my
intentions).
The previous implementation took ownership over the provided iterator, which
was an oversight, considering that this is intended to be used in contexts
where doing so is not possible. A good example where isolated test cases
aren't necessarily painting the correct picture.
`scan` takes owned values, so this instead uses the same parsing method as
`parse_attrs`, but using a `FromFn` iterator to avoid having to create a
whole new iterator type. This will work well so long as we don't need to
store the type returned by this (while also wanting to avoid boxing).
DEV-11062
See the previous commit. There is no sense in some common "IR" namespace,
since those IRs should live close to whatever system whose data they
represent.
In the case of these, they are general IRs that can apply to many different
parts of the system. If that proves to be a false statement, they'll be
moved.
DEV-10863
Calling it "legacyir" is just confusing. The original hope, when beginning
TAMER, was that I'd be able to use a new object format in the near future to
help speed up the compilation process. But that's far from our list of
priorities now, and so seeing "legacy" all over the place is really
confusing considering that it implies that perhaps it shouldn't be used for
new code.
This helps to clear up that cognitive dissonance by remaining neutral on the
topic. And the reality is that it won't be "legacy" for some time.
DEV-10863
The IRs really ought to live where they are owned, especially given that
"IR" is so generic that it makes no sense for there to be a single location
for them; they're just data structures coupled with different phases of
compilation.
This will be renamed next commit; see that for details.
This also removes some documentation describing the lowering process,
because it's undergone a number of changes and needs to be accurately
re-summarized in another location. That will come at a later time after the
work is further along so that I don't have to keep spending the time
rewriting it.
DEV-10863
This was previous gated behind the negation of the wip-xmlo-xir-reader flag,
which meant that it was not being compiled or picked up by LSP. Both of
those things are inconvenient and unideal.
DEV-10863
This allows for the lazy parsing of attributes, and makes the necessary
changes to the parser to be able to do so safely without getting into a bad
context.
When XIRT was originally conceived, this concept existed somewhat, but it
was done in a way that would allow the parser to accept invalid input. This
avoids that problem.
This also introduces the concept of "Done", primarily because we had to for
the AttrEnd token. This will evolve in following commit(s), which will
allow carrying out the important check of ensuring that the parser has ended
parsing in a valid accepting state (in terms of a state machine).
DEV-11062
This produces an `AttrList` independent from a containing
`Element`. Upcoming changes may further permit the parser to yield smaller
components that are not part of an aggregate.
DEV-10863
This allows Rust to carry out its exhaustiveness check for when we add new
tokens. It further ensure that we understand what we missed, or chose not
to handle.
DEV-10863
This allows AttrList not only to be lazily initialized (which is less of a
problem at the moment with Vec, but may become one in the future), but also
leaves a space open for attributes to be added _after_ having been
parsed. It further leaves room to _take_ attributes from their `Element`.
This is important because the next commit will re-introduce the ability to
parse attributes independently, allowing us to put the parser in a state
where we can parse AttrList without an Element context. To re-use that
parsing under an Element context, we can simply attach an AttrList after it
has been parsed.
Option adds no additional size cost to Vec, so we get this for free (except
for the tiny change that initializes the attribute list when we try to push
to it).
I also think this reads better ("attrs: None"). Though it makes the API
slightly more of a pain to work with.
DEV-10863
The purpose of this token is to implement a lazy streaming attribute
collection operation without a token of lookup, which would complicate
parsing or require that a TokenStream provide a `peek` method.
This is only required for readers to produce, since readers will be feeding
data to parsers. I have the writer ignoring it. If you're looking back at
this commit, the question is whether this was a bad idea: it introduces
inconsistencies into the token stream depending on the context, which can be
confusing and error-prone.
The intent is to have the parser throw an explicit error if the new token is
missing in the context in which it is required, which will safely handle the
issue, but does defer it to runtime. But only readers need auditing, and
there's only one XIR reader at the moment.
DEV-10863
There isn't a whole lot here, but there is additional work needed in various
places to support upcoming changes and so I want to get this commited to
ease the cognitive burden of what I have thusfar. And to stop stashing. We
have a feature flag for a reason.
DEV-10863
This macro was previously using the path of wherever the template expanded
into, which I found to be unexpected considering that I thought the macros
were hygenic and the names bound to the environment in which they were
defined.
In any case, this solves the problem in all cases.
DEV-10863
This was forgotten in the previous commit and exists simply to ensure that
the TripIter doesn't add any significant overhead. The tests are
a handful of nanoseconds apart, on my machine.
See the documentation in this commit for more information.
This is pretty significant, in that it's been a long-standing question for
me how I'd like to join together `Result` iterators without having
unnecessarily complex APIs, and also allow for error recovery. This solves
both of those problems.
It should be noted, however, that this does not yet explicitly implement
error recovery, beyond being able to observe the failure as the result of
the provided callback function. Proper recovery will be implemented once
there's a use-case.
DEV-11006
This moves the Iterator impl and From<B> back into `quickxml`. The type of
the new reader is different, taking an iterator instead of a BufRead. This
will allow us to easily mock for unit tests, without the clustfuckery that
has ensued previously with quick-xml mocking.
DEV-10863
The original plan was to modify the existing reader to use the new
XmlXirReader, but that's going to be a lot of ongoing uncommitted work, with
both tests and implementation. The better option seems to be to reimplement
it, since so many things are changing.
This flag will be short-lived and removed as soon as the implementation is
complete.
DEV-10863
Comments re-use Text, but they are _not_ escaped, so we need to take care
with the type to ensure that, if the value were ever used with a
Token::Text, that we don't end up injecting XML.
quick_xml provides us the value escaped, so we can just handle this the same
way as Text for now.
In the future, we may want to distinguish between the two so that we can
reconstruct an identical XML document, but at the moment CData isn't used at
all in TAME sources or outputs, and so I'm not going to worry about it for
now.
DEV-10863
It's nice being able to breeze through changes, since that's been a pretty
rare thing so far, given all the foundational work that has been needed.
This should get us pretty damn close to being able to parse the `xmlo` files
for the reader linker, if we're not there already.
DEV-10863
This is quick-and-dirty; refactoring can be done later on. This is also
intended to demonstrate the ease with which additional events can be
added---the hard work is done.
This is an initial working concept for the reader which handles, so far,
just a single attribute. But extending it to completion will not be all
that much more work.
This does not have namespace support---that will be added later as part of
XIRT, which is responsible for semantic analysis. This allows XIR to stay
wonderfully simple, and won't have any impact on the writer (which expects
that QNames are unresolved and contain the namespace prefix to be written).
This is the safe version of the existing intern_utf8_unchecked, and exists
as a performance optimization.
We're about to introduce a XIR reader, which is going to intern a _lot_ of
duplicate strings, since it will intern node and attribute names as
well. Given that, we do not want to spent a lot of time performing UTF-8
checks that have already been performed.
We know that, if an intern is in the pool, it's either already UTF-8 or that
check was bypassed when it was initially interned. Therefore, if we find an
existing symbol, that can be returned without having to perform any
check. Otherwise, we intern as we usually would after attempting to convert
the byte slice into a string.
This allows us to continue to have good performance for interning without
sacrificing safety for strings.
The intent of this is to demonstrate how significant of an impact checking
byte arrays for UTF-8 validity will have, since the existing tests do not
make that clear (a static string in Rust is always valid UTF-8).
These benchmarks show that the cost when re-interning an already existing
value is +50%.
This is important, because the new reader will be interning a _lot_ of
duplicate strings, whereas the existing reader operates on byte arrays
without interning unless necessary. And, when it does, it does so
unchecked. But we'd rather not do that, since we cannot guarantee that
those XML files are valid (and not modified in some way).
Upcoming commits will have what I think is a reasonable compromise to this,
based on the fact that we'll be encountering _many_ duplicate strings in
parsing XML files.
DEV-10920
This provides a child `raw` module that exposes a SymbolId representing the
inner value of each of the static newtypes. This is needed in situations
where the type must match and the type of the static symbol is not
important.
In particular, when comparing against runtime-allocated symbols in `match`
expressions.
It is also worth noting that this commit managed to hit a bug in Rustc that
was fixed on 10/1/2021. We use nightly, and it doesn't seem that this
occurred in stable, from bug reports.
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/89393
- 5ab1245303
- Original issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/72476
The error was:
compiler/rustc_mir_build/src/thir/pattern/deconstruct_pat.rs:1191:22:
Unexpected type for `Single` constructor: <u32 as sym::symbol::SymbolIndexSize>::NonZero
thread 'rustc' panicked at 'Box<dyn Any>', compiler/rustc_errors/src/lib.rs:1146:9
This occurred because we were trying to use `SymbolId` as the type, which
uses a projected type as its inner value: `SymbolId<Ix: SymbolIndexSize>(Ix::NonZero)`.
This was not a problem with the static newtypes because their inner type was
simply `SymbolId<Ix>`, which is not projected.
This is one of the risks of using nightly.
But, the point is: if you receive this error, upgrade your toolchain.
Tbh, I was unaware that this was supported by tuple variants until reading
over the Rustc source code for something. (Which I had previously read, but
I must have missed it.)
This is more proper, in the sense that in a lot of cases we not only care
about how many values a tuple has, but if we explicitly match on them using
`_`, then any time we modify the number of values, it would _break_ any code
doing so. Using this method, we improve maintainability by not causing
breakages under those circumstances.
But, consequently, it's important that we use this only when we _really_
don't care and don't want to be notified by the compiler.
I did not use `..` as a prefix, even where supported, because the intent is
to append additional information to tuples. Consequently, I also used `..`
in places where no additional fields currently exist, since they may in the
future (e.g. introducing `Span` for `IdentObject`).
In particular, `name` needn't return an `Option`. `fragment` also returns a
copy, since it's just a `SymbolId`. (It really ought to be a newtype rather
than an alias, but we'll worry about that some other time.)
These changes allow us to remove some runtime panics.
DEV-10859
This moves the logic that sorts identifiers into sections into Sections
itself, and introduces XmleSections to allow for mocking for testing.
This then allows us to narrow the types significantly, eliminating some
runtime checks. The types can be narrowed further, but I'll be limiting the
work I'll be doing now; this'll be inevitably addressed as we use the ASG
for the compiler.
This also handles moving Sections tests, which was a TODO from the previous
commit.
DEV-10859
This is the appropriate place to be, now that we've begun narrowing the
types. We'll be able to do so further; this is just the first step.
This does not yet move the tests, but the code is still tested because it's
tightly coupled with `sort`. Those will move in the next commit(s).
DEV-10859
xmle sections will only ever contain an object of one type, so there is no
use in making this generic.
I think the original plan was to have this represent, generically, sections
of some object file (like ELF), but doing so would require a significant
redesign anyway, so it makes no sense. This is easier to reason about.
DEV-10859
This has always been a lowering operation, but it was not phrased in terms
of it, which made the process a bit more confusing to understand.
The implementation hasn't changed, but this is an incremental refactoring
and so exposes BaseAsg and its `graph` field temporarily.
DEV-10859
Sections, as written, are specific to xmle files.
I think the intent originally was to have this be more generic, but that
doesn't really make sense.
By explicitly coupling it with `xmle` files, that will allow us to turn this
into a proper lowering operation with its own validations that will allow
`xmle::xir` to do its job without having to validate anything itself.
