The fail macro defines some function/static items internally, which got
a dead_code warning when `fail!()` is used inside a dead function. This
is ugly and unnecessarily reveals implementation details, so the

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
find or modify existing code / data. Without ASLR, it's trivial to use a
vulnerability to take over control of the process via return-oriented
programming.
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.)
This leaves the `Share` trait at `std::kinds` via a `#[deprecated]` `pub use`
statement, but the `NoShare` struct is no longer part of `std::kinds::marker`
due to #12660 (the build cannot bootstrap otherwise).
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
naming.

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) => { ... }

match x {

let z = y;

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.

Our implementation of ebml has diverged from the standard in order
to better serve the needs of the compiler, so it doesn't make much
sense to call what we have ebml anyore. Furthermore, our implementation
is pretty crufty, and should eventually be rewritten into a format
that better suits the needs of the compiler. This patch factors out
serialize::ebml into librbml, otherwise known as the Really Bad
Markup Language. This is a stopgap library that shouldn't be used
by end users, and will eventually be replaced by something better.

Currently, each time a function is monomorphized, all items within that function are translated. This is unnecessary work because the inner items already get translated when the function declaration is visited by `trans_item`. This patch adds a flag to the `FunctionContext` to prevent translation of items during monomorphization.
Remove the ability of the borrow checker to determine that repeated
dereferences of a Box<T> refer to the same memory object. This will
usually require one of two workarounds:
1) The interior of a Box<T> will sometimes need to be moved / borrowed

2) A `ref x` pattern will have to be replaced with a `box ref x`
pattern.

When dealing with HTTP request or responses, many tokens are case-insensitive in the ASCII range but the bytes from the network are not necessarily valid UTF-8.
**[breaking-change]** Rather than adding new very similar traits, this re-uses the `std::ascii::OwnedStrAsciiExt` and `std::ascii::StrAsciiExt` traits, but rename to remove `Str` since that does not apply for bytes.
This PR also makes `std::ascii::ASCII_UPPER_MAP` and `std::ascii::ASCII_LOWER_MAP`, the lookup table all these methods are based on, public. In case there is something else related to ASCII case we haven’t thought of yet, that can be implemented outside of libstd without duplicating the tables.
Although this is a breaking change, I thought this could do without an RFC since the relevant traits are not in the prelude.

When rustc produces an rlib, it includes the contents of each static library required by the crate. Currently each static library is added individually, by extracting the library with `ar x` and adding the objects to the rlib using `ar r`. Each `ar r` has significant overhead - it appears to scan through the full contents of the rlib before adding the new files. This patch avoids most of the overhead by adding all library objects (and other rlib components) at once using a single `ar r`.
When building `librustc` (on Linux, using GNU ar), this patch gives a 60-80% reduction in linking time, from 90s to 10s one machine I tried and 25s to 8s on another. (Though `librustc` is a bit of a special case - it's a very large crate, so the rlib is large to begin with, and it also relies on a total of 45 static libraries due to the way LLVM is organized.) More reasonable crates such as `libstd` and `libcore` also get a small reduction in linking time (just from adding metadata, bitcode, and object code in one `ar` invocation instead of three), but this is not very noticeable since the time there is small to begin with (around 1s).
I think this is an improvement of the previous warning message, which
- like the comment that I removed implies - is in need of some
improvement.
I've opted to point the user in the right direction w.r.t how to fix the
problem, which I think is good form.
Not being familiar with the repr(...) attribute, I personally had to
check the lint rules myself to figure out what was wrong. Hopefully,
this will save he next person some time and headache.

the CFG for match statements.
There were two bugs in issue #14684. One was simply that the borrow
check didn't know about the correct CFG for match statements: the
pattern must be a predecessor of the guard. This disallows the bad
behavior if there are bindings in the pattern. But it isn't enough to
prevent the memory safety problem, because of wildcards; thus, this
patch introduces a more restrictive rule, which disallows assignments
and mutable borrows inside guards outright.
I discussed this with Niko and we decided this was the best plan of

This breaks code that performs mutable borrows in pattern guards. Most
commonly, the code looks like this:
impl Foo {
fn f(&mut self, ...) {}

This commit applies stability attributes to the contents of these modules,
summarized here:
* The `unit` and `bool` modules have become #[unstable] as they are purely meant
for documentation purposes and are candidates for removal.
* The `ty` module has been deprecated, and the inner `Unsafe` type has been
renamed to `UnsafeCell` and moved to the `cell` module. The `marker1` field
has been removed as the compiler now always infers `UnsafeCell` to be
invariant. The `new` method i stable, but the `value` field, `get` and
`unwrap` methods are all unstable.
* The `tuple` module has its name as stable, the naming of the `TupleN` traits
as stable while the methods are all #[unstable]. The other impls in the module
have appropriate stability for the corresponding trait.
* The `arc` module has received the exact same treatment as the `rc` module
previously did.
* The `any` module has its name as stable. The `Any` trait is also stable, with
a new private supertrait which now contains the `get_type_id` method. This is
to make the method a private implementation detail rather than a public-facing
detail.
The two extension traits in the module are marked #[unstable] as they will not
be necessary with DST. The `is` method is #[stable], the as_{mut,ref} methods
have been renamed to downcast_{mut,ref} and are #[unstable].
The extension trait `BoxAny` has been clarified as to why it is unstable as it
will not be necessary with DST.
This is a breaking change because the `marker1` field was removed from the
`UnsafeCell` type. To deal with this change, you can simply delete the field and
only specify the value of the `data` field in static initializers.

Currently we don't emit lifetime end markers when translating the
unwinding code. I omitted that when I added the support for lifetime
intrinsics, because I initially made the mistake of just returning true
in clean_on_unwind(). That caused almost all calls to be translated as
invokes, leading to quite awful results.
To correctly emit the lifetime end markers, we must differentiate
between cleanup that requires unwinding and such cleanup that just wants
to emit code during unwinding.

Change this code to not contain a type error. For example:
impl<T:Copy> Foo for T { ... }

let x = 3i; // satisfies `Copy` bound
take_param(&x);

The allocas used in match expression currently don't get good lifetime
markers, in fact they only get lifetime start markers, because their
lifetimes don't match to cleanup scopes.
While the bindings themselves are bog standard and just need a matching
pair of start and end markers, they might need them twice, once for a
guard clause and once for the match body.
The __llmatch alloca OTOH needs a single lifetime start marker, but
when there's a guard clause, it needs two end markers, because its
lifetime ends either when the guard doesn't match or after the match
body.
With these intrinsics in place, LLVM can now, for example, optimize
code like this:

A2(int),
A3(int),
A4(int),

Lifetime intrinsics help to reduce stack usage, because LLVM can apply
stack coloring to reuse the stack slots of dead allocas for new ones.
For example these functions now both use the same amount of stack, while
previous `bar()` used five times as much as `foo()`:
````rust
fn foo() {
println("{}", 5);
}
fn bar() {
println("{}", 5);
println("{}", 5);
println("{}", 5);
println("{}", 5);

On top of that, LLVM can also optimize out certain operations when it
knows that memory is dead after a certain point. For example, it can
sometimes remove the zeroing used to cancel the drop glue. This is
possible when the glue drop itself was already removed because the
zeroing dominated the drop glue call. For example in:
````rust
pub fn bar(x: (Box<int>, int)) -> (Box<int>, int) {
x

In f1ad425199, I changed the handling
of macros, to prevent macro invocations from occurring in fully expanded
source. Instead, I added a side table. It contained only the
spans of the macros, because this was the only information required
in order to make macro export work.
However, librustdoc was also affected by this change, since it
extracts macro information in a similar way. As a result of the earlier
change, exported macros were no longer documented.
In order to repair this, I've adjusted the side table to contain whole
items, rather than just the spans.
`call_visit_glue` is only ever called from trans_intrinsic, and the
block won't be unreachable there. Also, the comment doesn't make sense
anymore. When the code was introduced in 38fee9526a the function was
also responsible for the cleanup glue, which is no longer the case.
While we're at it, also fixed the debug message to output the right
function name.
This implements RFC 39. Omitted lifetimes in return values will now be
inferred to more useful defaults, and an error is reported if a lifetime
in a return type is omitted and one of the two lifetime elision rules
does not specify what it should be.
This primarily breaks two uncommon code patterns. The first is this:
unsafe fn get_foo_out_of_thin_air() -> &Foo {
...
}
This should be changed to:

The second pattern that needs to be changed is this:

Borrowed(&'a str),
Owned(String),
}
fn foo() -> MaybeBorrowed {
Owned(format!("hello world"))
}

The first is to require that `#[crate_name]` and `--crate-name` always match (if both are specified). The second is to fix parallel compilation in cargo by mixing in `-C extra-filename` into the temporary outputs of the compiler.
When invoking the compiler in parallel, the intermediate output of the object
files and bytecode can stomp over one another if two crates with the same name
are being compiled.
The output file is already being disambiguated with `-C extra-filename`, so this
commit alters the naming of the temporary files to also mix in the extra
filename to ensure that file names don't clash.

Part of the original discussions around the `--crate-name` flag brought up that
mass confusion can arise when the flag specifies a different name than is
contained in the crate.
The current primary use case of the `--crate-name` flag is through cargo and
not requiring a `#[crate_name]` attribute, but if the `#[crate_name]` attribute
is specified it will likely go awry when the two names deviate from one another.
This commit requires that if both are provided they both match to prevent this
confusion.
Importing from types was disallowed in #6462. Flag was set for paths whether it is a module or a type. Type flag was set when impl was seen. The problem is, for cross-crate situations, when reexport is involved, it is possible that impl is seen too late because metadata is loaded lazily.

The default code model is usually unsuitable for kernels,
so we add an option to specify which model we want.
Testing for this would be fragile and very architecture specific and is better left to LLVM.
This makes two changes to region inference: (1) it allows region
inference to relate early-bound regions; and (2) it allows regions to be
related before variance runs. The former is needed because there is no
relation between the two regions before region substitution happens,
while the latter is needed because type collection has to run before
variance. We assume that, before variance is inferred, that lifetimes
are invariant. This is a conservative overapproximation.
This relates to #13885. This does not remove `~self` from the language

The important bit of this are the changes from line 445 in mem_categorization.rs. Most of the other changes are about adding an Implicit PointerKind, and this is only necessary for getting a decent error message :-s An alternative would have been to add an implciti/explicit flag to cat_deref, which could be mostly ignored and so would mean much fewer changes. However, the implicit state would only be valid if the PointerKind was BorrowedPtr, so it felt like it ought to be another kind of PointerKind. I still don't know which is the better design.
To verify that a type can satisfy Send
`check_struct_safe_for_destructor` attempts to construct a new `ty::t`
an empty substitution list.
Previously the function would verify that the function has no type
parameters before attempting this. Unfortunately this check would not
catch functions with only regions parameters. In this case, the type
would eventually find its way to the substition engine which would
attempt to perform a substitution on the region parameters. As the
constructed substitution list is empty, this would fail, leading to a
compiler crash.
We fix this by verifying that types have both no type and region
parameters.
Previously this was an Option::unwrap() which failed for me.
Unfortunately I've since inadvertently worked around the bug and have
been unable to reproduce it. With this patch hopefully the next person

This patch adds support for macros in method position. It follows roughly the template for Item macros, where an outer `Method` wrapper contains a `Method_` enum which can either be a macro invocation or a standard macro definition.
One note; adding support for macros that expand into multiple methods is not included here, but should be a simple parser change, since this patch updates the type of fold_macro to return a smallvector of methods.
For reviewers, please pay special attention to the parser changes; these are the ones I'm most concerned about.
Because of the small change to the interface of fold_method, this is a ...
[breaking change]
This change propagates to many locations, but because of the
Macro Exterminator (or, more properly, the invariant that it
protects), macro invocations can't occur downstream of expansion.
This means that in librustc and librustdoc, extracting the
desired field can simply assume that it can't be a macro
invocation. Functions in ast_util abstract over this check.
* Don't warn about `#[crate_name]` if `--crate-name` is specified
* Don't warn about non camel case identifiers on `#[repr(C)]` structs
* Switch `mode` to `mode_t` in libc.
Our AST definition can include macro invocations, which can expand into all kinds of things. Macro invocations are expanded away during expansion time, and the rest of the compiler doesn't have to deal with them. However, we have no way of enforcing this.
This patch adds two protective mechanisms.
First, it adds a (quick) explicit check that ensures there are no macro invocations remaining in the AST after expansion. Second, it updates the visit and fold mechanisms so that by default, they will not traverse macro invocations. It's easy enough to add this, if desired (it's documented in the source, and examples appear, e.g. in the IdentFinder.
Along the way, I also consulted with @sfackler to refactor the macro export mechanism so that it stores macro text spans in a side table, rather than leaving them in the AST.
This PR adds a crate-level dashboard summarizing the stability levels of all items for all submodules of the crate.
The information is also written as a json file, intended for consumption by pages like http://huonw.github.io/isrustfastyet/
Along the way, fixes a few bugs in stability tracking and places where rustdoc was not pulling the existing stability data.
Closes#13541
the Macro Exterminator ensures that there are no macro invocations in
an AST. This should help make later passes confident that there aren't
hidden items, methods, expressions, etc.
macros can expand into arbitrary items, exprs, etc. This
means that using a default walker or folder on an AST before
macro expansion is complete will miss things (the things that
the macros expand into). As a partial fence against this, this
commit moves the default traversal of macros into a separate
procedure, and makes the default trait implementation signal
an error. This means that Folders and Visitors can traverse
macros if they want to, but they need to explicitly add an
impl that calls the walk_mac or fold_mac procedure
This should prevent problems down the road.
Per discussion with @sfackler, refactored the expander to
change the way that exported macros are collected. Specifically,
a crate now contains a side table of spans that exported macros
go into.
This has two benefits. First, the encoder doesn't need to scan through
the expanded crate in order to discover exported macros. Second, the
expander can drop all expanded macros from the crate, with the pleasant
result that a fully expanded crate contains no macro invocations (which
include macro definitions).
This is a continuation of @brson's work from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/12144.
This implements the minimal scaffolding that allows mapping diagnostic messages to alpha-numeric codes, which could improve the searchability of errors.

I've refrained from migrating many errors to actually use the new macros as it can be done in an incremental fashion but if we're happy with the approach, it'd be good to do all of them sooner rather than later.
Originally, I was going to make libdiagnostics a separate crate but that's posing some interesting challenges with semi-circular dependencies. In particular, librustc would have a plugin-phase dependency on libdiagnostics, which itself depends on librustc. Per my conversation with @alexcrichton, it seems like the snapshotting process would also have to change. So for now the relevant modules from libdiagnostics are included using `#[path = ...] mod`.
C structs predominately do not use camel case identifiers, and we have a clear
indicator for what's a C struct now, so excuse all of them from this stylistic
lint.
Similar to the stability attributes, a type annotated with `#[must_use =
"informative snippet"]` will print the normal warning message along with
"informative snippet". This allows the type author to provide some
guidance about why the type should be used.

It can be a little unintuitive that something like `v.iter().map(|x|
println!("{}", x));` does nothing: the majority of the iterator adaptors
are lazy and do not execute anything until something calls `next`, e.g.
a `for` loop, `collect`, `fold`, etc.
The majority of such errors can be seen by someone writing something
like the above, i.e. just calling an iterator adaptor and doing nothing
with it (and doing this is certainly useless), so we can co-opt the
`must_use` lint, using the message functionality to give a hint to the
reason why.
Fixes#14666.

This removes a bunch of token types. Tokens now store the original, unaltered
numeric literal (that is still checked for correctness), which is parsed into
an actual number later, as needed, when creating the AST.
This can change how syntax extensions work, but otherwise poses no visible
changes.

This patch adds hygiene for methods. This one was more difficult than the others, due principally to issues surrounding `self`. Specifically, there were a whole bunch of places in the code that assumed that a `self` identifier could be discarded and then made up again later, causing the discard of contexts and hygiene breakage.
formerly, the self identifier was being discarded during parsing, which
stymies hygiene. The best fix here seems to be to attach a self identifier
to ExplicitSelf_, a change that rippled through the rest of the compiler,
but without any obvious damage.
The let-syntax expander is different in that it doesn't apply
a mark to its token trees before expansion. This is used
for macro_rules, and it's because macro_rules is essentially
MTWT's let-syntax. You don't want to mark before expand sees
let-syntax, because there's no "after" syntax to mark again.
In some sense, the cleaner approach might be to introduce a new
AST node that macro_rules expands into; this would make it clearer
that the expansion of a macro is distinct from the addition of a
new macro binding.
This should work for now, though...
This commit disables rustc's emission of rpath attributes into dynamic libraries
and executables by default. The functionality is still preserved, but it must
now be manually enabled via a `-C rpath` flag.
This involved a few changes to the local build system:
* --disable-rpath is now the default configure option
* Makefiles now prefer our own LD_LIBRARY_PATH over the user's LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in order to support building rust with rust already installed.
* The compiletest program was taught to correctly pass through the aux dir as a
component of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in more situations.
The major impact of this change is that neither rustdoc nor rustc will work
out-of-the-box in all situations because they are dynamically linked. It must be
arranged to ensure that the libraries of a rust installation are part of the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The default installation paths for all platforms ensure this,
but if an installation is in a nonstandard location, then configuration may be
necessary.
Additionally, for all developers of rustc, it will no longer be possible to run
$target/stageN/bin/rustc out-of-the-box. The old behavior can be regained
through the `--enable-rpath` option to the configure script.
This change brings linux/mac installations in line with windows installations
where rpath is not possible.

This updates https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15075.
Rename `ToStr::to_str` to `ToString::to_string`. The naive renaming ends up with two `to_string` functions defined on strings in the prelude (the other defined via `collections::str::StrAllocating`). To remedy this I removed `StrAllocating::to_string`, making all conversions from `&str` to `String` go through `Show`. This has a measurable impact on the speed of this conversion, but the sense I get from others is that it's best to go ahead and unify `to_string` and address performance for all `to_string` conversions in `core::fmt`. `String::from_str(...)` still works as a manual fast-path.
Note that the patch was done with a script, and ended up renaming a number of other `*_to_str` functions, particularly inside of rustc. All the ones I saw looked correct, and I didn't notice any additional API breakage.
Closes#15046.
