This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1721] which adds a new target feature
to the compiler, `crt-static`, which can be used to select how the C runtime for
a target is linked. Most targets dynamically linke the C runtime by default with
the notable exception of some of the musl targets.
[RFC 1721]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1721-crt-static.md
This commit first adds the new target-feature, `crt-static`. If enabled, then
the `cfg(target_feature = "crt-static")` will be available. Targets like musl
will have this enabled by default. This feature can be controlled through the
standard target-feature interface, `-C target-feature=+crt-static` or
`-C target-feature=-crt-static`.
Next this adds an gated and unstable `#[link(cfg(..))]` feature to enable the
`crt-static` semantics we want with libc. The exact behavior of this attribute
is a little squishy, but it's intended to be a forever-unstable
implementation detail of the liblibc crate.
Specifically the `#[link(cfg(..))]` annotation means that the `#[link]`
directive is only active in a compilation unit if that `cfg` value is satisfied.
For example when compiling an rlib, these directives are just encoded and
ignored for dylibs, and all staticlibs are continued to be put into the rlib as
usual. When placing that rlib into a staticlib, executable, or dylib, however,
the `cfg` is evaluated *as if it were defined in the final artifact* and the
library is decided to be linked or not.
Essentially, what'll happen is:
* On MSVC with `-C target-feature=-crt-static`, the `msvcrt.lib` library will be
linked to.
* On MSVC with `-C target-feature=+crt-static`, the `libcmt.lib` library will be
linked to.
* On musl with `-C target-feature=-crt-static`, the object files in liblibc.rlib
are removed and `-lc` is passed instead.
* On musl with `-C target-feature=+crt-static`, the object files in liblibc.rlib
are used and `-lc` is not passed.
This commit does **not** include an update to the liblibc module to implement
these changes. I plan to do that just after the 1.14.0 beta release is cut to
ensure we get ample time to test this feature.

macros 1.1: Allow proc_macro functions to declare attributes to be mark as used
This PR allows proc macro functions to declare attribute names that should be marked as used when attached to the deriving item. There are a few questions for this PR.
- Currently this uses a separate attribute named `#[proc_macro_attributes(..)]`, is this the best choice?
- In order to make this work, the `check_attribute` function had to be modified to not error on attributes marked as used. This is a pretty large change in semantics, is there a better way to do this?
- I've got a few clones where I don't know if I need them (like turning `item` into a `TokenStream`), can these be avoided?
- Is switching to `MultiItemDecorator` the right thing here?
Also fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/37563.
Stabilize `..` in tuple (struct) patterns
I'd like to nominate `..` in tuple and tuple struct patterns for stabilization.
This feature is a relatively small extension to existing stable functionality and doesn't have known blockers.
The feature first appeared in Rust 1.10 6 months ago.
An example of use: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/36203

KNOWN_ATTRIBUTES should really be named BUILT_ATTRIBUTES,
while KNOWN_ATTRIBUTES should be used to mark attributes
as known, similar to USED_ATTRIBUTES.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1665] which adds support for the
`#![windows_subsystem]` attribute. This attribute allows specifying either the
"windows" or "console" subsystems on Windows to the linker.
[RFC 1665]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1665-windows-subsystem.md
Previously all Rust executables were compiled as the "console" subsystem which
meant that if you wanted a graphical application it would erroneously pop up a
console whenever opened. When compiling an application, however, this is
undesired behavior and the "windows" subsystem is used instead to have control
over user interactions.
This attribute is validated, but ignored on all non-Windows platforms.

Implement field shorthands in struct literal expressions.
Implements #37340 in a straight-forward way: `Foo { x, y: f() }` parses as `Foo { x: x, y: f() }`.
Because of the added `is_shorthand` to `ast::Field`, this is `[syntax-breaking]` (cc @Manishearth).
* [x] Mark the fields as being a shorthand (the exact same way we do it in patterns), for pretty-printing.
* [x] Gate the shorthand syntax with `#![feature(field_init_shorthand)]`.
* [x] Don't parse numeric field as identifiers.
* [x] Arbitrary field order tests.
Allow bootstrapping without a key. Fixes#36548
This will make it easier for packagers to bootstrap rustc when they happen
to have a bootstrap compiler with a slightly different version number.
It's not ok for anything other than the build system to set this environment variable.

Second step of #34761. Last big hurdle before we can work in earnest towards Allocator integration (#32838)
Note: I am not clear if this is *also* a syntax-breaking change that needs to be part of a breaking-batch.

This commit blanket renames the `rustc_macro` infrastructure to `proc_macro`,
which reflects the general consensus of #35900. A follow up PR to Cargo will be
required to purge the `rustc-macro` name as well.
This applies the HIR changes from the previous commits to the AST, and
is thus a syntax-[breaking-change]
Renames `PatKind::Vec` to `PatKind::Slice`, since these are called slice
patterns, not vec patterns. Renames `TyKind::Vec`, which represents the
type `[T]`, to `TyKind::Slice`. Renames `TyKind::FixedLengthVec` to
`TyKind::Array`.
I am using `ThinAttributes` rather than a vector for attributes
attached to generics, since I expect almost all lifetime and types
parameters to not carry any attributes.
libcompiler-rt.a is dead, long live libcompiler-builtins.rlib
This commit moves the logic that used to build libcompiler-rt.a into a
compiler-builtins crate on top of the core crate and below the std crate.
This new crate still compiles the compiler-rt instrinsics using gcc-rs
but produces an .rlib instead of a static library.
Also, with this commit rustc no longer passes -lcompiler-rt to the
linker. This effectively makes the "no-compiler-rt" field of target
specifications a no-op. Users of `no_std` will have to explicitly add
the compiler-builtins crate to their crate dependency graph *if* they
need the compiler-rt intrinsics. Users of the `std` have to do nothing
extra as the std crate depends on compiler-builtins.
Finally, this a step towards lazy compilation of std with Cargo as the
compiler-rt intrinsics can now be built by Cargo instead of having to
be supplied by the user by some other method.
closes#34400
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1681] which adds support to the
compiler for first-class user-define custom `#[derive]` modes with a far more
stable API than plugins have today.
[RFC 1681]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1681-macros-1.1.md
The main features added by this commit are:
* A new `rustc-macro` crate-type. This crate type represents one which will
provide custom `derive` implementations and perhaps eventually flower into the
implementation of macros 2.0 as well.
* A new `rustc_macro` crate in the standard distribution. This crate will
provide the runtime interface between macro crates and the compiler. The API
here is particularly conservative right now but has quite a bit of room to
expand into any manner of APIs required by macro authors.
* The ability to load new derive modes through the `#[macro_use]` annotations on
other crates.
All support added here is gated behind the `rustc_macro` feature gate, both for
the library support (the `rustc_macro` crate) as well as the language features.
There are a few minor differences from the implementation outlined in the RFC,
such as the `rustc_macro` crate being available as a dylib and all symbols are
`dlsym`'d directly instead of having a shim compiled. These should only affect
the implementation, however, not the public interface.
This commit also ended up touching a lot of code related to `#[derive]`, making
a few notable changes:
* Recognized derive attributes are no longer desugared to `derive_Foo`. Wasn't
sure how to keep this behavior and *not* expose it to custom derive.
* Derive attributes no longer have access to unstable features by default, they
have to opt in on a granular level.
* The `derive(Copy,Clone)` optimization is now done through another "obscure
attribute" which is just intended to ferry along in the compiler that such an
optimization is possible. The `derive(PartialEq,Eq)` optimization was also
updated to do something similar.
---
One part of this PR which needs to be improved before stabilizing are the errors
and exact interfaces here. The error messages are relatively poor quality and
there are surprising spects of this such as `#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, MyTrait)]`
not working by default. The custom attributes added by the compiler end up
becoming unstable again when going through a custom impl.
Hopefully though this is enough to start allowing experimentation on crates.io!
