DST coercions and DST fields in structs
The commits are not quite stand alone, I should probably squash them together before landing. In particular if you review the individual commits, then you'll see some scrappy stuff that gets fixed in later commits. But reading the commits in order might be easier to get an overall idea of what is going on.
The first commit includes putting back time zone into our time library - @pcwalton removed that as part of his de-~str'ing, but I had already converted it to use StrBuf, so we may as well leave it in. Update: no longer, this is removed in a later commit.

1. The internal layout for traits has changed from (vtable, data) to (data, vtable). If you were relying on this in unsafe transmutes, you might get some very weird and apparently unrelated errors. You should not be doing this! Prefer not to do this at all, but if you must, you should use raw::TraitObject rather than hardcoding rustc's internal representation into your code.
2. The minimal type of reference-to-vec-literals (e.g., `&[1, 2, 3]`) is now a fixed size vec (e.g., `&[int, ..3]`) where it used to be an unsized vec (e.g., `&[int]`). If you want the unszied type, you must explicitly give the type (e.g., `let x: &[_] = &[1, 2, 3]`). Note in particular where multiple blocks must have the same type (e.g., if and else clauses, vec elements), the compiler will not coerce to the unsized type without a hint. E.g., `[&[1], &[1, 2]]` used to be a valid expression of type '[&[int]]'. It no longer type checks since the first element now has type `&[int, ..1]` and the second has type &[int, ..2]` which are incompatible.
3. The type of blocks (including functions) must be coercible to the expected type (used to be a subtype). Mostly this makes things more flexible and not less (in particular, in the case of coercing function bodies to the return type). However, in some rare cases, this is less flexible. TBH, I'm not exactly sure of the exact effects. I think the change causes us to resolve inferred type variables slightly earlier which might make us slightly more restrictive. Possibly it only affects blocks with unreachable code. E.g., `if ... { fail!(); "Hello" }` used to type check, it no longer does. The fix is to add a semicolon after the string.
The privacy pass of the compiler was previously not taking into account the
privacy of foreign items, or bindings to external functions. This commit fixes
this oversight by encoding the visibility of foreign items into the metadata for
each crate.
Any code relying on this will start to fail to compile and the bindings must be
marked with `pub` to indicate that they can be used externally.

Current version of rust fails when casting from bool, e.g.
```rust
fn main() {
let _a = false as uint;
let _b = true as uint;
let _c: [bool, ..false as uint];
let _d: [bool, ..true as uint];
// _a and _b work, but _c and _d result in an error
// error: expected constant expr for vector length: can't cast str to uint
}
```
This commit makes it work as expected.
int/uint aren't considered FFI safe, replace them with the actual type they
represent (i64/u64 or i32/u32). This is a breaking change, but at most a cast
to `uint` or `int` needs to be added.

As of RFC 18, struct layout is undefined. Opting into a C-compatible struct
layout is now down with #[repr(C)]. For consistency, specifying a packed
layout is now also down with #[repr(packed)]. Both can be specified.
To fix errors caused by this, just add #[repr(C)] to the structs, and change
#[packed] to #[repr(packed)]

It's unfortunate that the read+write operands need special treatment in the AST. A separate vec for all expressions is an alternative, but it doesn't play nicely with trans.

This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:
use foo::bar;
use baz::bar;
Change this code to the following:
use baz::bar;
Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:
use foo::*; // including `bar`
use baz::bar;
Change this code to remove the glob:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz::bar;
Or qualify all uses of `bar`:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz;
... baz::bar ...
Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.
extern crate std;
Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.
The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.
This implements RFC #116.

Crates that are resolved normally have their path canonicalized and all

This patch primarily does two things: (1) it prevents lifetimes from
leaking out of unboxed closures; (2) it allows unboxed closure type
notation, call notation, and construction notation to construct closures
matching any of the three traits.
This breaks code that looked like:
let mut f;
{
let x = &5i;
f = |&mut:| *x + 10;

Change this code to avoid having a reference escape. For example:
{
let x = &5i;
let mut f; // <-- move here to avoid dangling reference
f = |&mut:| *x + 10;
}
I believe this is enough to consider unboxed closures essentially
implemented. Further issues (for example, higher-rank lifetimes) should
be filed as followups.

This code produces an ICE:
```rust
#![crate_type = "rlib"]
fn main() {
if true { return }
// remaining code is unreachable
match () {
() => { static MAGIC: uint = 0; }
}
}
```
([playpen](http://is.gd/iwOISB))
The error is "encode_symbol: id not found 18", where 18 is the `NodeId` of the declaration of `MAGIC`. The problem is that `rustc` tries to emit metadata for `MAGIC`, but some of the information is missing because `MAGIC` never gets translated by `trans_item` - the entire body of the `match` gets skipped because the `match` itself is unreachable.
This branch simplifies the handling of inner items by always processing them using the `trans_item` visitor, instead of sometimes using the visitor and sometimes waiting until `trans_stmt` encounters the item. This fixes the ICE by making the translation of the item no longer depend on the declaration being reachable code. This branch also reverts #16059 and #16359, since the new change to item translation fixes the same problems as those but is simpler.

Rust already builds all code as position independent by default, so the
linker can be told to build a position independent executable if it's
not disabled with `-C relocation-model=dynamic-no-pic`. Position
independent code does have a significant cost on i686 (not on x86_64 or
ARM) but there's no significant cost to linking code that's already
position independent as a position independent executable.
Address space layout randomization makes exploiting vulnerabilities much
more difficult by providing a statistical defence against an attempt to

vulnerability to take over control of the process via return-oriented

Rust code can be used for return-oriented programming whether it is safe
or unsafe, so even a fully safe application needs to be built as a
position independent executable to defend against vulnerabilities in
unsafe blocks or C libraries.

Extended `ast_map::Map` with an iterator over all node id's that match a path suffix.
Extended pretty printer to let users choose particular items to pretty print, either by indicating an integer node-id, or by providing a path suffix.
* Example 1: the suffix `typeck::check::check_struct` matches the item with the path `rustc::middle::typeck::check::check_struct` when compiling the `rustc` crate.
* Example 2: the suffix `and` matches `core::option::Option::and` and `core::result::Result::and` when compiling the `core` crate.
Refactored `pprust` slightly to support the pretty printer changes.
(See individual commits for more description.)
With this change:
* `--pretty variant=<node-id>` will print the item associated with
`<node-id>` (where `<node-id>` is an integer for some node-id in
the AST, and `variant` means one of {`normal`,`expanded`,...}).
* `--pretty variant=<path-suffix>` will print all of the items that
match the `<path-suffix>` (where `<path-suffix>` is a suffix of a
path, and `variant` again means one of {`normal`,`expanded`,...}).
Example 1: the suffix `typeck::check::check_struct` matches the
item with the path `rustc::middle::typeck::check::check_struct`
when compiling the `rustc` crate.
Example 2: the suffix `and` matches `core::option::Option::and`
and `core::result::Result::and` when compiling the `core` crate.
Both of the `--pretty variant=...` modes will include the full path to
the item in a comment that follows the item.
Note that when multiple paths match, then either:
1. all matching items are printed, in series; this is what happens in
the usual pretty-print variants, or
2. the compiler signals an error; this is what happens in flowgraph
printing.

Some drive-by improvements:
Heavily refactored the pretty-printing glue in driver.rs, introducing
a couple local traits to avoid cut-and-pasting very code segments that
differed only in how they accessed the `Session` or the
`ast_map::Map`. (Note the previous code had three similar calls to
`print_crate` which have all been unified in this revision; the
addition of printing individual node-ids exacerbated the situation
beyond tolerance.) We may want to consider promoting some of these
traits, e.g. `SessionCarrier`, for use more generally elsewhere in the
compiler; right now I have to double check how to access the `Session`
depending on what context I am hacking in.
Refactored `PpMode` to make the data directly reflect the fundamental
difference in the categories (in terms of printing source-code with
various annotations, versus printing a control-flow graph).
(also, addressed review feedback.)
This requires avoiding `quote_...!` for constructing the parts of the
__test module, since that stringifies and reinterns the idents, losing
the special gensym'd nature of them. (#15962.)

statement, but the `NoShare` struct is no longer part of `std::kinds::marker`

All code referencing the `Share` trait should now reference the `Sync` trait,
and all code referencing the `NoShare` type should now reference the `NoSync`
type. The functionality and meaning of this trait have not changed, only the

Fixes missing overflow lint for i64 #14269
The `type_overflow` lint, doesn't catch the overflow for `i64` because the overflow happens earlier in the parse phase when the `u64` as biggest possible int gets casted to `i64` , without checking the for
overflows.
We can't lint in the parse phase, so we emit a compiler error, as we do for overflowing `u64`
Perhaps a consistent behaviour would be to emit a parse error for *all* overflowing integer types.
See #14269
The `type_overflow` lint, doesn't catch the overflow for `i64` because
the overflow happens earlier in the parse phase when the `u64` as biggest
possible int gets casted to `i64` , without checking the for overflows.
We can't lint in the parse phase, so a refactoring of the `LitInt` type
was necessary.
The types `LitInt`, `LitUint` and `LitIntUnsuffixed` where merged to one
type `LitInt` which stores it's value as `u64`. An additional parameter was
added which indicate the signedness of the type and the sign of the value.
As discovered in #15460, a particular #[link(kind = "static", ...)] line is not
actually guaranteed to link the library at all. The reason for this is that if
the external library doesn't have any referenced symbols in the object generated
by rustc, the entire library is dropped by the linker.
For dynamic native libraries, this is solved by passing -lfoo for all downstream
compilations unconditionally. For static libraries in rlibs this is solved
because the entire archive is bundled in the rlib. The only situation in which
this was a problem was when a static native library was linked to a rust dynamic
library.
This commit brings the behavior of dylibs in line with rlibs by passing the
--whole-archive flag to the linker when linking native libraries. On OSX, this
uses the -force_load flag. This flag ensures that the entire archive is
considered candidate for being linked into the final dynamic library.
This is a breaking change because if any static library is included twice in the
same compilation unit then the linker will start emitting errors about duplicate
definitions now. The fix for this would involve only statically linking to a
library once.

Before this commit, the LLVM IR of exported items was simply zip-compressed and stored as an object file inside rlib archives. This commit adds a header to this "object" containing a file identifier and a format version number so the compiler can deal with changes in the way bytecode objects are stored within rlibs.
While updating the format of bytecode objects, this commit also worksaround a problem in LLDB which could not handle odd-sized objects within archives before mid-2014.
This is an alternative to upgrading the way rvalues are handled in the
borrow check. Making rvalues handled more like lvalues in the borrow
check caused numerous problems related to double mutable borrows and
rvalue scopes. Rather than come up with more borrow check rules to try
to solve these problems, I decided to just forbid pattern bindings after
`@`. This affected fewer than 10 lines of code in the compiler and
libraries.
This breaks code like:
match x {
y @ z => { ... }
}
match a {
b @ Some(c) => { ... }
}
Change this code to use nested `match` or `let` expressions. For
example:
match x {
y => {
let z = y;
...
}
}
match a {
Some(c) => {
let b = Some(c);
...
}
}
Closes#14587.
[breaking-change]
When generating a unique symbol for things like closures or glue_drop,
we call token::gensym() to create a crate-unique Name. Recently, Name
changed its Show impl so it no longer prints as a number. This caused
symbols like glue_drop:1542 to become glue_drop:"glue_drop"(1542), or in
mangled form, glue_drop.$x22glue_drop$x22$LP$1542$RP$.

Note: This PR is motivated by an attempt to write an custom syntax extension that tried to use `syntax::fold`, and that could only do so by fixing bugs in it and copying out private functions.

Refactored `syntax::fold`
Prior to this, the code there had a few issues:
- Default implementations inconsistenly either had the prefix `noop_` or
not.
- Some default methods where implemented in terms of a public noop function
for user code to call, others where implemented directly on the trait
and did not allow users of the trait to reuse the code.
- Some of the default implementations where private, and thus not reusable
for other implementors.
- There where some bugs where default implemntations called other default
implementations directly, rather than to the underlying Folder, with the
result of some ast nodes never being visted even if the user implemented that
method. (For example, the current Folder never folded struct fields)
This commit solves this situation somewhat radically by making __all__
`fold_...` functions in the module into Folder methods, and implementing
them all in terms of public `noop_...` functions for other implementors to
call out to.
Some public functions had to be renamed to fit the new system, so this is a
breaking change.

Also added a few trait implementations to `ast` types
