As per multiple user requests, this commit introduces a shortcut
to typecheck trees under multiple different modes: terms (EXPRmode,
was exposed in Scala 2.10) and types (TYPEmode).
Looking into the rest of a dozen of internal typechecker modes, to the
best of my knowledge, I can’t find other modes that we could expose.
FUNmode is useful, but very situational. PATTERNmode is useful, but
also situational, because we don’t expand macros inside patterns
except for whitebox extractor macros. The rest (e.g. POLYmode or TAPPmode)
are too low-level.

SI-7570 top-level codegen for toolboxes
|
| | | |
|

Provides a way to inject top-level classes, traits and modules into
toolbox universes.
Previously that was impossible, because compile and eval both wrap their
arguments into an enclosing method of a synthetic module, which makes it
impossible to later on refer to any definitions from the outside.

This commit removes resetAllAttrs from the public reflection API.
This method was previously deprecated, but on a second thought that
doesn't do it justice. People should be aware that resetAllAttrs is just
wrong, and if they have code that uses it, this code should be rewritten
immediately without beating around the bush with deprecations. There's
a source-compatible way of achieving that (resetLocalAttrs), so that
shouldn't bring much trouble.
Secondly, resetAllAttrs in compiler internals becomes deprecated. In subsequent
commits I'm going to rewrite the only two locations in the compiler that
uses it, and then I think we can remove it from the compiler as well.

We now have c.untypecheck, which is supposed to be a counterpart of c.typecheck
in the sense that it goes back from typed trees to untyped ones:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20936509/scala-macros-what-is-the-difference-between-typed-aka-typechecked-an-untyped.
Let’s hope that c.untypecheck will soon be able to solve our problems
with partially/incorrectly attributed trees emitted by macros:

This method has always been slightly bothering me, so I was really glad
when Denys asked me to rename it. Let’s see how it pans out.

It was an interesting idea to give macro developers control over front ends,
but it hasn't given any visible results.
To the contrast, front ends have proven useful for toolboxes to easily control
what errors get printed where.
Therefore I'm moving front ends to scala-compiler.jar to clean up the API.
Yay for scaladoc-driven development!

As the experience has shown, there's no need for a separate layer of reflection
in scala-library.jar. Therefore I'm putting an end to it.

1) parseExpr => parse
2) runExpr => eval
3) Introduces compile(Tree): () => Any, since it has frequent uses

By giving ToolBox.mirror the correct type and constructing the underlying
mirror from a proper classloader, we improve user experience w.r.t
runtime code generation.
Direct motivator: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12122939, in which
instances of a toolbox-generated class are accessed with Scala reflection.

Removes the `freeTypes` parameters on `typeCheckExpr` and `runExpr`,
since we now have public `substituteTypes` on both trees and types.
Also implements long-awaited `inferImplicitValue` and `inferImplicitView`
(thanks to Miles Sabin for nudging me!)

A must read: "SIP: Scala Reflection":
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z1VhhNPplbUpaZPIYdc0_EUv5RiGQ2X4oqp0i-vz1qw/edit
Highlights:
* Architecture has undergone a dramatic rehash.
* Universes and mirrors are now separate entities:
universes host reflection artifacts (trees, symbols, types, etc),
mirrors abstract loading of those artifacts (e.g. JavaMirror loads stuff
using a classloader and annotation unpickler, while GlobalMirror uses
internal compiler classreader to achieve the same goal).
* No static reflection mirror is imposed on the user.
One is free to choose between lightweight mirrors and full-blown
classloader-based mirror (read below).
* Public reflection API is split into scala.reflect.base and scala.reflect.api.
The former represents a minimalistic snapshot that is exactly enough to
build reified trees and types. To build, but not to analyze - everything smart
(for example, getting a type signature) is implemented in scala.reflect.api.
* Both reflection domains have their own universe: scala.reflect.basis and
scala.reflect.runtime.universe. The former is super lightweight and doesn't
involve any classloaders, while the latter represents a stripped down compiler.
* Classloader problems from 2.10.0-M3 are solved.
* Exprs and type tags are now bound to a mirror upon creation.
* However there is an easy way to migrate exprs and type tags between mirrors
and even between universes.
* This means that no classloader is imposed on the user of type tags and exprs.
If one doesn't like a classloader that's there (associated with tag's mirror),
one can create a custom mirror and migrate the tag or the expr to it.
* There is a shortcut that works in most cases. Requesting a type tag from
a full-blown universe will create that tag in a mirror that corresponds to
the callsite classloader aka `getClass.getClassLoader`. This imposes no
obligations on the programmer, since Type construction is lazy, so one
can always migrate a tag into a different mirror.
Migration notes for 2.10.0-M3 users:
* Incantations in Predef are gone, some of them have moved to scala.reflect.
* Everything path-dependent requires implicit prefix (for example, to refer
to a type tag, you need to explicitly specify the universe it belongs to,
e.g. reflect.basis.TypeTag or reflect.runtime.universe.TypeTag).
* ArrayTags have been removed, ConcreteTypeTag have been renamed to TypeTags,
TypeTags have been renamed to AbsTypeTags. Look for the reasoning in the
nearby children of this commit. Why not in this commit? Scroll this message
to the very bottom to find out the reason.
* Some of the functions have been renamed or moved around.
The rule of thumb is to look for anything non-trivial in scala.reflect.api.
Some of tree build utils have been moved to Universe.build.
* staticModule and staticClass have been moved from universes to mirrors
* ClassTag.erasure => ClassTag.runtimeClass
* For the sake of purity, type tags no longer have erasures.
Use multiple context bounds (e.g. def foo[T: ru.TypeTag : ClassTag](...) = ...)
if you're interested in having both erasures and types for type parameters.
* reify now rolls back macro applications.
* Runtime evaluation is now explicit, requires import scala.tools.reflect.Eval
and scala-compiler.jar on the classpath.
* Macro context now has separate universe and mirror fields.
* Most of the useful stuff is declared in c.universe,
so be sure to change your "import c.universe._" to "import c.mirror._".
* Due to the changes in expressions and type tags, their regular factories
are now really difficult to use. We acknowledge that macro users need to
frequently create exprs and tags, so we added old-style factories to context.
Bottom line: almost always prepend Expr(...)/TypeTag(...) with "c.".
* Expr.eval has been renamed to Expr.splice.
* Expr.value no longer splices (it can still be used to express cross-stage
path-dependent types as specified in SIP-16).
* c.reifyTree now has a mirror parameter that lets one customize the initial
mirror the resulting Expr will be bound to. If you provide EmptyTree, then
the reifier will automatically pick a reasonable mirror (callsite classloader
mirror for a full-blown universe and rootMirror for a basis universe).
Bottom line: this parameter should be EmptyTree in 99% of cases.
* c.reifyErasure => c.reifyRuntimeClass.
Known issues:
* API is really raw, need your feedback.
* All reflection artifacts are now represented by abstract types.
This means that pattern matching against them will emit unchecked warnings.
Adriaan is working on a patch that will fix that.
WARNING, FELLOW CODE EXPLORER! You have entered a turbulence zone.
For this commit and its nearby parents and children
tests are not guaranteed to work. Things get back to normal only after
the "repairs the tests after the refactoring spree" commit.
Why so weird? These twentish changesets were once parts of a humongous blob,
which spanned 1200 files and 15 kLOC. I did my best to split up the blob,
so that the individual parts of the code compile and make sense in isolation.
However doing the same for tests would be too much work.
