AST: Give spans to all identifiers #49154

petrochenkov · 2018-03-19T00:59:47Z

Change representation of ast::Ident from { name: Symbol, ctxt: SyntaxContext } to { name: Symbol, span: Span }.
Syntax contexts still can be extracted from spans (span.ctxt()).

Why this should not require more memory:

Span is u32 just like SyntaxContext.
Despite keeping more spans in AST we don't actually create more spans, so the number of "outlined" spans kept in span interner shouldn't become larger.

Why this may be slightly slower:

When we need to extract ctxt from an identifier instead of just field read we need to do bit field extraction possibly followed by and access by index into span interner's vector. Both operations should be fast (unless the span interner is under some synchronization) and we already do ctxt extraction from spans all the time during macro expansion, so the difference should be lost in noise.

Epic PR :) I think this should be fine for incr. comp., we already hash syntax contexts and spans.

/subscribe: follow up after landing by removing as many codemap().def_span() calls throughout the codebase as possible. (I don't think it will be possible to remove all, as some are spans for lifetimes, but the ones for struct/trait/impls errors should use the ident spans.)

petrochenkov · 2018-03-19T19:13:47Z

@estebank

some are spans for lifetimes

Lifetimes are also represented with Ident so they get spans as well.
Also, this is only the first half of "giving spans to all identifiers" - I haven't converted HIR to use Ident yet, this is going to be a separate large PR.

petrochenkov · 2018-03-19T19:15:29Z

src/librustc/ich/impls_hir.rs

@michaelwoerister
Now I'm pretty sure this is a mistake (and ignoring ctxt was a mistake as well?).
Spans are hashed in other positions, including the ctxt part.

Yes, that should be updated! Good catch.

petrochenkov · 2018-03-19T19:21:39Z

src/libsyntax_pos/symbol.rs

For these Hash and PartialEq I've kept the old behavior - compare and hash idents as (Name, SyntaxContext).

PartialEq for Ident should either

not exist (I'd prefer this, but larger structures containing idents want to derive PartialEq and Hash for whatever reasons), or

behave like PartialEq for (Name, SyntaxContext). PartialEq not behaving like this is a notable footgun and source of bugs, we had it couple years ago. Well, and Hash should has to be implemented consistently with PartialEq.

want to derive PartialEq and Hash for whatever reasons

What happens if you just remove those? Is PartialEq it used only for tests? Could those tests serialize to JSON, use pattern matching, or do something else instead?

I'll try.
IIRC, at least token::Token contains Ident and uses == all the time for "simple" variants not actually containing Idents or other data (the case that would be perfectly supported by is, btw).

Oh, that's a bit of a bummer - and yeah, I agree about is.

On second thought, should Token contain Ident, or just Symbol (and keep the Span separate)? Or is that too much hassle / not readily supported by existing infrastructure?

If lots of spans get moved from the regular HIR nodes to Ident and then we don't hash them, that would not be good. But the HashStable implementation for Ident doesn't ignore the span, right?

Yes, StableHash doesn't ignore the span (well, after fixing #49154 (comment)).

Also,

regular HIR nodes

this PR doesn't touch HIR yet, only AST.

eddyb · 2018-03-30T23:15:43Z

src/libsyntax/feature_gate.rs

I'm not sure what's happening here. Do you have an example where the behavior changes?

It's a fix for the regression caught by Travis and mentioned in #49154 (comment).

The problem is that here we want two different SyntaxContexts for identifiers generated by #[test] - one context for name resolution (unhygienic) and another one for stability checking (hygienic, stability is not checked), but Ident has only one SyntaxContext.

So we can keep the stability checking context in something that is not used for name resolution, for example whole Path (or anything else that is not an identifier/lifetime).

Oh I see. Can the source comment be expanded to say more of what is happening from its own perspective? e.g. starting with "Here we check the span from the whole Path instead of that of individual Idents specifically because only the former can be ...".

petrochenkov · 2018-04-03T00:39:30Z

Updated.

AST: Give spans to all identifiers Change representation of `ast::Ident` from `{ name: Symbol, ctxt: SyntaxContext }` to `{ name: Symbol, span: Span }`. Syntax contexts still can be extracted from spans (`span.ctxt()`). Why this should not require more memory: - `Span` is `u32` just like `SyntaxContext`. - Despite keeping more spans in AST we don't actually *create* more spans, so the number of "outlined" spans kept in span interner shouldn't become larger. Why this may be slightly slower: - When we need to extract ctxt from an identifier instead of just field read we need to do bit field extraction possibly followed by and access by index into span interner's vector.

Is it possible that this PR regressed expansion info on derives?

The code generated by derive(Debug) in the following

#[derive(Debug)]
pub enum Error {
    Type(
        &'static str,
    ),
}

contains a ref __self_0 pattern whose span is the unchanged span of &'static str above.

petrochenkov · 2018-04-07T11:18:30Z

@oli-obk
Sure, this is a relatively large refactoring, I tried to be careful, but something could break accidentally.

In this specific example though, it looks like __self_0 always had span of &'static str:

const __self_0: u8 = 0;

#[derive(Debug)]
pub enum Error {
    Type(
        &'static str,
    ),
}

fn main() {}

---- On stable

error[E0530]: match bindings cannot shadow constants
 --> src/main.rs:6:9
  |
1 | const __self_0: u8 = 0;
  | ----------------------- a constant `__self_0` is defined here
...
6 |         &'static str,
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ cannot be named the same as a constant

Or you are talking about SyntaxContext? Could you give a reproduction then?

EDIT: I see, it's about of whole ref __self_0 pattern span. Reproduction would still be appreciated then.

oli-obk · 2018-04-07T11:24:57Z

@petrochenkov the current reproduction is a clippy lint reporting things that happened inside the expansion, but reporting it at the span of the type.

The relevant lint is https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-clippy/blob/master/clippy_lints/src/needless_borrow.rs#L86

We do check for macro expansions here, which uses the expn_info to figure out whether any expansion has happened (implemented here)

petrochenkov · 2018-04-07T11:30:25Z

@oli-obk
Before I look into that Clippy code, you may be interested in the last commit - 1458684.
Spans of identifiers themselves cannot be used for detecting macro expansions anymore, you have to use spans from some larger context. This may affect Clippy as well.

oli-obk · 2018-04-07T11:35:10Z

We took the span from a Pat, not an Ident, but that Pat might've gotten its span from an identifier. I'll have a look at the expansion code of Debug derives.

Discovered in rust-lang#50061 we're falling off the "happy path" of using a stringified token stream more often than we should. This was due to the fact that a user-written token like `0xf` is equality-different from the stringified token of `15` (despite being semantically equivalent). This patch updates the call to `eq_unspanned` with an even more awful solution, `probably_equal_for_proc_macro`, which ignores the value of each token and basically only compares the structure of the token stream, assuming that the AST doesn't change just one token at a time. While this is a step towards fixing rust-lang#50061 there is still one regression from rust-lang#49154 which needs to be fixed.
