Allow syntax extensions to return multiple items, closes #16723 #17236

fhahn · 2014-09-13T17:39:52Z

This is PR is basically the change proposed by @SimonSapin for #16723. I can also extend MacItem, as @huonw suggested, but I'm not sure how that was meant exactly. A comment for MacItem states that it's a convenience type for macros that return a single item. Should I adapt MacItem to contain a SmallVector of items instead of a single item and update the comment?

And I've two questions concerning the patch.

First, I am not sure what's the best way to duplicate the SmallVector holding the items. The way I'm doing it at the moment strikes me as suboptimal (https://github.com/fhahn/rust/compare/issue-16723-multiple-items?expand=1#diff-5100da09ad52c81568562e36ee359343R241). An additional map() call is required, because iter() returns an iterator to pointers to the elements. Is there a better way? Should I open a ticket and implement clone() for SmallVector?

And second, I had problems running the test in the test suite because it complains that there is no name MacItems in syntax::base::ext although there is. When I compile the file with

 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage2/lib/ 
 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/rustc 
 -L x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/ 
 src/test/auxiliary/issue_16723_multiple_items_syntax_ext.rs

it works. But I'm not sure which rustc binary should be used, e.g. there is on stage1 build in x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/bin/rustc and one in x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/rustc.

src/libsyntax/ext/base.rs

+impl MacResult for MacItems {
+ fn make_items(self: Box<MacItems>) -> Option<SmallVector<P<ast::Item>>> {
+ // FIXME: Implement Clone on SmallVector and use it instead of .iter().collect()
+ Some(self.items.as_slice().iter().map(|x| x.clone()).collect())


This takes self by value now so this could just be Some(self.items.move_iter().collect())

Or just Some(self.items)

Now that MacItems does indeed store a SmallVector this should just return Some(self.items)

Ah, yes! Updated the PR.

You might as well remove MacItem entirely.

Thanks for your feedback, I've updated the PR.

This FIXME can likely be removed now

Yup, thanks. Does it still make sense to implement Clone on SmallVector?

This needs to go in run_pass_fulldeps

Thanks, that was the problem!

The test should pass now, thanks for your help and patience ;)
