The `-g` flag does not take an argument anymore while the argument to `--debuginfo` becomes mandatory. This change makes it possible again to run the compiler like this:
`rustc -g ./file.rs`
This did not work before because `./file.rs` was misinterpreted as the argument to `-g`. In order to get limited debuginfo, one now has to use `--debuginfo=1`.
This can almost be fully disabled, as it no longer breaks retrieving a
backtrace on OS X as verified by @alexcrichton. However, it still
breaks retrieving the values of parameters. This should be fixable in
the future via a proper location list...
Closes#7477
Unique pointers and vectors currently contain a reference counting
header when containing a managed pointer.
This `{ ref_count, type_desc, prev, next }` header is not necessary and
not a sensible foundation for tracing. It adds needless complexity to
library code and is responsible for breakage in places where the branch
has been left out.
The `borrow_offset` field can now be removed from `TyDesc` along with
the associated handling in the compiler.
Closes#9510Closes#11533
The `print!` and `println!` macros are now the preferred method of printing, and so there is no reason to export the `stdio` functions in the prelude. The functions have also been replaced by their macro counterparts in the tutorial and other documentation so that newcomers don't get confused about what they should be using.
`expand_include_str()` in libsyntax seems to have corrupted the CodeMap by always setting the BytePos of any included files to zero. It now uses `CodeMap::new_filemap()` which should set everything properly. This should fix issue #11322 but I don't want to close it before I have confirmation from the reporters that the problem is indeed fixed.
The snapshot just failed due to a debuginfo test failing, and according to its
output at
http://buildbot.rust-lang.org/builders/snap3-linux/builds/564/steps/test/logs/stdio
it appears to be because the printed lines has a little less information than
the original lines were checking for. I would suspect that this is just because
of a slightly different version of gdb, but it's not that serious regardless.
The variant used in debug-info/method-on-enum.rs had its layout changed
by the smaller discriminant, so that the `u32` no longer overlaps both
of the `u16`s, and thus the debugger is printing partially uninitialized
data when it prints the wrong variant.
Thus, the test runner is modified to accept wildcards (using a string
that should be unlikely to occur literally), to allow for this.
It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.

Progress on #7981
This doesn't completely close the issue because `struct A;` is still allowed, and it's a much larger change to disallow that. I'm also not entirely sure that we want to disallow that. Regardless, punting that discussion to the issue instead.
