The current error message is misleading, it asks users to add `#[feature(..)]` which ends up being treated as an outer attribute, which then has no error unless `attribute_usage` lint is enforced. The code will still fail and the user might not understand why.
Resolve is currently erroneously allowing imports through private `use`
statements in some circumstances, even across module boundaries. For example,
this code compiles successfully today:
use std::c_str;
mod test {
use c_str::CString;
}
This should not be allowed because it was explicitly decided that private `use`
statements are purely bringing local names into scope, they are not
participating further in name resolution.
As a consequence of this patch, this code, while valid today, is now invalid:
mod test {
use std::c_str;
unsafe fn foo() {
::test::c_str::CString::new(0 as *u8, false);
}
}
While plausibly acceptable, I found it to be more consistent if private imports
were only considered candidates to resolve the first component in a path, and no
others.

`RefCell::get` can be a bit surprising, because it actually clones the wrapped value. This removes `RefCell::get` and replaces all the users with `RefCell::borrow()` when it can, and `RefCell::borrow().clone()` when it can't. It removes `RefCell::set` for consistency. This closes#13182.
It also fixes an infinite loop in a test when debugging is on.
rustc: feature-gate `concat_idents!`.
concat_idents! is not as useful as it could be, due to macros only being
allowed in limited places, and hygiene, so lets feature gate it until we
make a decision about it.

It's surprising that `RefCell::get()` is implicitly doing a clone
on a value. This patch removes it and replaces all users with
either `.borrow()` when we can autoderef, or `.borrow().clone()`
when we cannot.

This change removes the AbiSet from the AST, converting all usage to have just
one Abi value. The current scheme selects a relevant ABI given a list of ABIs
based on the target architecture and how relevant each ABI is to that
architecture.
Instead of this mildly complicated scheme, only one ABI will be allowed in abi
strings, and pseudo-abis will be created for special cases as necessary. For
example the "system" abi exists for stdcall on win32 and C on win64.

Replace syntax::opt_vec with syntax::owned_slice
The `owned_slice::OwnedSlice` is `(*T, uint)` (i.e. a direct equivalent to DSTs `~[T]`).
This shaves two words off the old OptVec type; and also makes substituting in other implementations easy, by removing all the mutation methods. (And also everything that's very rarely/never used.)
The compiler will no longer inject libgreen as the default runtime for rust
programs, this commit switches it over to libnative by default. Now that
libnative has baked for some time, it is ready enough to start getting more
serious usage as the default runtime for rustc generated binaries.
We've found that there isn't really a correct decision in choosing a 1:1 or M:N
runtime as a default for all applications, but it seems that a larger number of
programs today would work more reasonable with a native default rather than a
green default.
With this commit come a number of bugfixes:
* The main native task is now named "<main>"
* The main native task has the stack bounds set up properly
* #[no_uv] was renamed to #[no_start]
* The core-run-destroy test was rewritten for both libnative and libgreen and
one of the tests was modified to be more robust.
* The process-detach test was locked to libgreen because it uses signal handling
This is adequate because when a function has a type that isn't caught here,
that is, it has a single argument, but it *isn't* `&mut BenchHarness`, it
errors later on with:
error: mismatched types: expected `fn(&mut test::BenchHarness)` but found
`fn(int)` (expected &-ptr but found int)
which I consider acceptable.
Closes#12997
The rationale and modifications can be found in the first commit message.
This does make logging a bit more painful to use initially because it involves a feature gate and some `phase` attributes, but I think it may be reasonable to not require the `phase` attribute for loading `macro_rules!` macros because defining them will still be gated.
This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external
crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros
and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are:
* The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It
has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost
exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the
end goals of this movement.
* The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the
__log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module
specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging
system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler
itself.
* Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a
magical crate map being available to set module log levels.
* If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's
no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the
highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should
be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one
provided in the rust distribution.
With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some
subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros:
* The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical
log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but
there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level
is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously
generated logging code looked like:
if specified_level <= __module_log_level() {
println!(...)
}
The newly generated code looks like:
if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL {
if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) {
println!(...)
}
}
Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in
that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of
checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have
logging turned on.
This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules
with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive
dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not).
Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but
runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code.
* A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules
that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the
log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally,
warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was
supplied.
The new "hello world" for logging looks like:
#[phase(syntax, link)]
extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("Hello, world!");
}
There is a broader revision (that does this across the board) pending
in #12675, but that is awaiting the arrival of more data (to decide
whether to keep OptVec alive by using a non-Vec internally).
For this code, the representation of lifetime lists needs to be the
same in both ScopeChain and in the ast and ty structures. So it
seemed cleanest to just use `vec_ng::Vec`, now that it has a cheaper
empty representation than the current `vec` code.
It is often convenient to have forms of weak linkage or other various types of
linkage. Sadly, just using these flavors of linkage are not compatible with
Rust's typesystem and how it considers some pointers to be non-null.
As a compromise, this commit adds support for weak linkage to external symbols,
but it requires that this is only placed on extern statics of type `*T`.
Codegen-wise, we get translations like:
// rust code
extern {
#[linkage = "extern_weak"]
static foo: *i32;
}
// generated IR
@foo = extern_weak global i32
@_some_internal_symbol = internal global *i32 @foo
All references to the rust value of `foo` then reference `_some_internal_symbol`
instead of the symbol `_foo` itself. This allows us to guarantee that the
address of `foo` will never be null while the value may sometimes be null.
An example was implemented in `std::rt::thread` to determine if
`__pthread_get_minstack()` is available at runtime, and a test is checked in to
use it for a static value as well. Function pointers a little odd because you
still need to transmute the pointer value to a function pointer, but it's
thankfully better than not having this capability at all.
If #[feature(default_type_parameters)] is enabled for a crate, then
deriving(Hash) will expand with Hash<W: Writer> instead of Hash<SipState> so
more hash algorithms can be used.
This patch replaces all `crate` usage with `krate` before introducing the
new keyword. This ensures that after introducing the keyword, there
won't be any compilation errors.
krate might not be the most expressive substitution for crate but it's a
very close abbreviation for it. `module` was already used in several
places already.
They all have to go into a single module at the moment unfortunately.
Ideally, the logging macros would live in std::logging, condition! would
live in std::condition, format! in std::fmt, etc. However, this
introduces cyclic dependencies between those modules and the macros they
use which the current expansion system can't deal with. We may be able
to get around this by changing the expansion phase to a two-pass system
but that's for a later PR.

For `use` statements, this means disallowing qualifiers when in functions and
disallowing `priv` outside of functions.
For `extern mod` statements, this means disallowing everything everywhere. It
may have been envisioned for `pub extern mod foo` to be a thing, but it
currently doesn't do anything (resolve doesn't pick it up), so better to err on
the side of forwards-compatibility and forbid it entirely for now.
