Only match a fragment specifier if it starts with certain tokens. #42913

kennytm · 2017-06-26T15:52:01Z

When trying to match a fragment specifier, we first predict whether the current token can be matched at all. If it cannot be matched, don't bother to push the Earley item to bb_eis. This can fix a lot of issues which otherwise requires full backtracking (#42838).

In this PR the prediction treatment is not done for :item, :stmt and :tt, but it could be expanded in the future.

So, this is probably a good idea, but -- @LeoTestard had actually implemented a full fullback mechanism, but we backed off because of the increased potential for problems when the grammar changes. It seems likely that this approach has some the same concerns, although I guess greatly mitigated. (I'd be curious to get @LeoTestard's thoughts.)

durka · 2017-06-28T20:55:56Z

I think the existence of the explicit token lists ("prefix sets"?) is a mitigation.

Yes, that's true.

kennytm · 2017-06-29T00:25:48Z

Looks like "prefix set" has been proposed before in rust-lang/rfcs#1746. I'm not sure if this PR is exactly the same as 1746 since the RFC looks much more complicated than this PR.

RFC 1746 was closed expecting matching in macro 2.0 will decouple from the actual grammar, so e.g. $x:expr will be equivalent to AFAIK [^FOLLOW(expr)]+ (such improvement has not been implemented yet). This PR is compatible with that position by viewing an :expr still as an opaque regular expression [FIRST(expr)][^FOLLOW(expr)]*. For sure macro 2.0 likely won't use bb_eis at all, making this PR unnecessary if we restrict the improvement to macro 2.0.

Fixing FIRST(expr) would still have an impact on grammar change, but this should be a much less issue than #33840 which is sensitive to the exact grammar. Maybe we need an RFC on this (which is needed for macro 2.0 anyway).

This PR is necessary for :vis to work correctly in macro 1.0 (i.e. able to parse $(#[$attr:meta])* $vis:vis struct ... — :vis needs to know it cannot match '#' outside bb_eis). Otherwise :vis will need to be coupled to macro 2.0 matcher improvement and things like supporting pub(restricted) in thread_local! (#40984) and bitflags! (bitflags/bitflags#72) will need to wait a bit longer.

+ },
+ "meta" => match *token {
+ Token::Ident(_) => true,


We should also add Token::Path here for future comparability with attribute macros 2.0 invocations (#[path::to::macro arbitrary + tokens]); these are supported today but don't (yet) work with meta.

Thanks, ~~added ModSep and NtPath~~ merged the arms for "meta" and "path" since they are equivalent in terms of first-set.

Currently ignoring the LazyTokenStream part of the Token::Interpolated

That's fine, the LazyTokenStream only adds more information that isn't relevant to these checks anyway.

Relnotes? This will ship in 1.20, right? I know this is the old macro system, but it seems like a pretty big win for macro writing based on the laundry list of closed issues...

48: Char property macro 2.0 r=behnam Replaces #41. See #41 for earlier discussion. An example will show better than I can tell: ```rust char_property! { /// Represents the Unicode character /// [*Bidi_Class*](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Bidi_Class) property, /// also known as the *bidirectional character type*. /// /// * <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#Bidirectional_Character_Types> /// * <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/#Bidi_Class_Values> pub enum BidiClass { /// Any strong left-to-right character /// /// ***General Scope*** /// /// LRM, most alphabetic, syllabic, Han ideographs, /// non-European or non-Arabic digits, ...

After using the const based aliasing for a little bit, I'm inclined to like the current solution of `unic::ucd::bidi::BidiClass::*` + `unic::ucd::bidi::bidi_class::abbr_names::*`. These really should be a `pub use` and not a `const`. - Note that I still think `const` are the way to go for cases like `Canonical_Combining_Class`, though. - <strike>The current syntax could easily be adapted to use modules instead of associated consts, but was written with the associated consts so we could get a feel of how it would look with them.</strike> - The zero-or-more meta match before a enum variant conflicts with the ident match before 1.20. See rust-lang/rust#42913, rust-lang/rust#24189 - There only tests of the macro are rather thin and could be expanded. - It's a macro, so the response when you stick stuff not matching the expected pattern is cryptic at best. - The `CharProperty` trait is pretty much the lowest common denominator. It's a starting point, and we can iterate from there. - How and where do we want to make `CharProperty` a externally visible trait? Currently having it in namespace is the only way to access `abbr_name` and `long_name`. - <strike>Earlier discussion suggested putting these into `unic::utils::char_property`. Moving it would be simple, but for now it's living in the root of `unic-utils`</strike> - <strike>The crate `unic-utils` is currently in the workspace by virtue of being a dependency of `unic`, but is not in any way visible a crate depending on `unic`.</strike> - <strike>Documentation doesn't exist.</strike>

1373: Support field attributes on vertex and constant structures r=kvark a=mzmonsour Adds support for attributes on struct fields, such as doc comments. This doesn't work on stable because of a macro parser bug. Wait until rust-lang/rust#42913 is in a stable release (1.20 probably) before merging this.

I believe this is something fixed by rust-lang/rust#42913 in Rust 1.20, but we still need to support Rust 1.15.
