Vectors come up in sections dedicated to ownership with the assumption that we know something about it but we haven't seen it yet. On the other hand, you need not know anything about ownership or lifetimes to understand the basics of vectors covered in the vector section of the book. Additionally, by moving it where it is there is a natural progression from loops to an iterative type which discusses for loops. This kind of interaction is generally better for learning.
I would like to have moved the struct section as well but I'm less confident about how to handle it since the ownership sections discuss structs and the structs section talks about mutable borrow.
The names are "0", "1", "2" etc, the same as used in field access.
This generally make things simpler and potentially allows to reuse braced struct machinery (struct patterns, struct expressions) for tuple structs.
I haven't touched the AST for stability reasons, but I intend to do it later.

a test file may specify `// revisions: foo bar baz`
headers and expected errors may be made specific to a revision
by writing `//[foo] header` or `//[foo]~ ERROR`
Use raw pointer casts for slice, str's .as_ptr()
We can now use raw pointer casts `*const [T] as *const T` and
`*const str as *const u8` instead of .repr() for getting the
pointer out of a slice.

This commit adds the emscripten target to the libbacktrace configure script so it is no longer unrecognized.
These types were already `!Sync`, but this improves error messages when they are used in contexts that require `Sync`, aligning them with conventions used with `Rc`, among others.

Undo change to libbacktrace configure script.
Modify libstd build.rs to not build libbacktrace in the case of targeting emscripten.

Zeroing on-drop seems to work fine. Still thinking about the best way to approach zeroing on-move.
(based on top of the other drop PR; only the last 2 commits are relevant)
Hello.
Quite a few of the links in the `core` module concerning redirection to additional primitive type documentation are broken. I noticed in #30214 that there seemed to be a consensus with linking across to `std` module documentation from the `core` module. This is what I've done with the `core` modules for primitive types.
If the changes here are good to go forward with, I'll happily tend to adding more documentation links for the extension traits in the aforementioned issue if need be.

Use unordered nested list for stabilised APIs to improve readability. This makes the release notes for 1.7 a bit longer, but I don't think we should optimise for brevity here. It's a bit inconsistent since the other releases are not done this way, so feel free to ignore this change.
Also:
- Add link to `u32::checked_neg`
- Remove trailing back tick from BTreeMap line

The default implementations (with `where Self: Sized`) are so that methods that take `self` by value can exist in a trait that’s implemented for dynamically-sized types (`str` and `[u8]`).

This commit implements documentation generation of the nomicon, the book, the
style guide, and the standalone docs. New steps were added for each one as well
as appropriate makefile targets for each one as well.
These commits add support to the rustbuild build system to compile non-build-system compilers. For example this will allow creating an ARM compiler on a x86 system. The high level way this works is:
* The only compiler ever run is the build target compiler. No other compiler is assumed to be runnable.
* As a result, all output artifacts come from the build compiler.
* The libs for the stageN cross-compiled compiler will be linked into place after the build target builds them.
This will break the assumption that a compiler never links to anything it didn't itself produce, but it retains the assumption that a compiler only ever links to anything built in the same stage. I believe this means that the stage1 cross-compiled compilers will still be usable.
I tested this by creating an `arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` compiler. So far the linking ended up all working OK (including LLVM being cross compiled), but I haven't been able to run it yet (in QEMU for a raspberry pi). I think that's because my system linker is messed up or something like that (some newer option is assumed when it's not actually there).
Overall, though, this means that rustbuild can compile an arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf compiler. Ideally we could even start shipping nightlies based on this at some point!
