Implement tool_attributes feature (RFC 2103)#47773

topecongiro · 2018-01-26T11:22:55Z

This PR implements a tool_attributes feature. If this implementaion is acceptable, I am going to create a similar PR that implements tool_lints.

This PR only adds rustfmt and clippy to known tool name list. The list resides in libsyntax/attr.rs.

cc #44690.

r? @nrc

topecongiro · 2018-01-26T13:02:56Z

Hmm. Should I add the section to the unstable book after this PR is merged, or am I missing something? I followed the instruction in https://forge.rust-lang.org/feature-guide.html.

kennytm · 2018-01-26T14:27:11Z

@topecongiro The problem is that unstable book file should be written in hyphenated lower case. Try to rename it as tool-attributes.md.

topecongiro · 2018-01-26T20:12:30Z

@kennytm Thank you!

src/libsyntax/ast.rs

Contents of ast::Attribute and ast::MetaItem are the same thing by definition, but in the compiler they diverged significantly in recent months.
An attribute is a "macro invocation" that consists of a Path and a TokenStream, MetaItem should have the same structure and they should share code, ideally.
I'd rather do this refactoring instead of adding temporary hacks like Vec<Name>, preferably in a separate PR.

(The attribute/meta-item Path goes through usual path resolution procedure, and that's where resolution of the "tool module" rustfmt or clippy should be added as well, ideally.)

nrc

This looks fine to me, but I think someone more active in compiler work should sign off too.

nrc · 2018-01-29T02:37:06Z

src/libsyntax/ast.rs

Could we use a Path here, rather than Vec<Name>?

In fact I wonder if we could use Path instead of MetaItemName and always treat attributes as paths rather than names (we have to do this for macro attributes anyway)

nrc · 2018-01-29T02:41:27Z

r? @petrochenkov

topecongiro · 2018-01-29T22:45:46Z

@petrochenkov @nrc Thank you for you reviews!

So I am going to replace MetaItemName with Path, ~~and move the tool name checking from feature_gate.rs to somewhere in parser code~~.

EDIT: I actually kept the tool name checking in feature_gate.rs.

petrochenkov · 2018-01-30T22:50:33Z

src/libsyntax/print/pprust.rs

Looks like existing print_path can be used instead of introducing this new function.

print_path is not a method of PrintState trait, so I am not sure how to exploit it. Should I write like self.writer().word(&path_to_string(path))?

petrochenkov · 2018-01-30T22:54:08Z

The Travis CI build failed

rustdoc build fails

petrochenkov · 2018-01-30T23:01:27Z

src/libsyntax/attr.rs

This looks like an imitation of parse_path, but I don't know how make the normal version and tokenstream version reuse the same code.
Could you leave a FIXME comment here?

petrochenkov · 2018-01-30T23:03:19Z

src/libsyntax/parse/parser.rs

Where does this special back-compat support of Word meta items happen now?

Oh, wait parse_path_allowing_meta is reintroduced in the next commit.

petrochenkov · 2018-01-30T23:08:19Z

src/libsyntax/attr.rs

Could you use the last segment instead?
In #[a::b::c] a and b are modules (possibly "tool modules") in which the attribute c is defined, and the last segment c is the attribute itself.

petrochenkov · 2018-01-30T23:21:17Z

src/libsyntax/feature_gate.rs

This solution is 100% technical debt, but I guess it can work while everything is unstable, and we go into this branch only if previous ways to resolve the attribute failed.

I described the proper solution in rust-lang/rfcs#2103 (comment).
TLDR: a::b::c in #[a::b::c(...)] should be resolved as a usual path in macro namespace and therefore rustfmt and clippy should be added into the language prelude as special modules (primitive types u8, u16, etc work in very similar way).
I don't suggest to implement this now though.

I don't suggest to implement this now though.

But I suggest to implement this eventually, if you plan to continue working on macros/attributes and name resolution in rustc.

Rebased against master.

I have a problem reproducing the above failures locally... running ./x.py test src/test/run-pass-fulldeps/ does succeed without any failure.

petrochenkov · 2018-02-12T14:35:53Z

@topecongiro
This is actually a pretty-printing test, not run-pass-fulldeps test itself.
This should be reproducible with ./x.py test src/test/run-pass-fulldeps/pretty.

It is possible that this is an expected pretty-printer failure, then you can disable the test with // ignore-pretty if you are sure this is not this PR's fault.

topecongiro · 2018-02-12T15:38:35Z

@petrochenkov Thank you for your advice, I could reproduce this locally.

I cannot tell whether this is an expected pretty-printer failure or not. I looked at the original PR that added this test (#40346). It looks like now arbitrary tokens could appear as arguments to procedural macros. So I guess that this PR is trying to parse random tokens inside procedural macros as some valid paths when it shouldn't? Again, I am not sure, though.

Nit: error messages conventionally start with a lower-case letter.
(Same in the feature gate message below.)

petrochenkov · 2018-02-12T21:24:45Z

@topecongiro
Pretty-printed code from run-pass-fulldeps/proc-macro/derive-b is identical before and after this PR, so the only difference is how name resolution treats B in #[cfg_attr(all(), B arbitrary tokens)].

I don't quite see where is the difference in name resolution comes from. Please make sure the logic for single-segment attribute paths is identical to what it was before. For example, fn name previously returned None for multi-segment attribute paths and now it's always successful, maybe it unintendedly makes difference somewhere.

emilyalbini · 2018-02-19T13:42:06Z

@topecongiro can you fix that failing test so the PR can be merged?

bors · 2018-02-25T04:55:12Z

☔ The latest upstream changes (presumably #48520) made this pull request unmergeable. Please resolve the merge conflicts.

shepmaster · 2018-03-02T19:31:57Z

Thank you for your hard work, @topecongiro ! However, we haven't heard from you in a few weeks, so I'm going to close this PR for now to keep the queue tidy. Please feel free to reopen this when you have a chance to fix the merge conflicts and the failing test.

Implement tool_attributes feature (RFC 2103) cc #44690 This is currently just a rebased and compiling (hopefully) version of #47773. Let's see if travis likes this. I will add the implementation for `tool_lints` this week.
