This commit performs a final stabilization pass over the std::fmt module,
marking all necessary APIs as stable. One of the more interesting aspects of
this module is that it exposes a good deal of its runtime representation to the
outside world in order for `format_args!` to be able to construct the format
strings. Instead of hacking the compiler to assume that these items are stable,
this commit instead lays out a story for the stabilization and evolution of
these APIs.
There are three primary details used by the `format_args!` macro:
1. `Arguments` - an opaque package of a "compiled format string". This structure
is passed around and the `write` function is the source of truth for
transforming a compiled format string into a string at runtime. This must be
able to be constructed in stable code.
2. `Argument` - an opaque structure representing an argument to a format string.
This is *almost* a trait object as it's just a pointer/function pair, but due
to the function originating from one of many traits, it's not actually a
trait object. Like `Arguments`, this must be constructed from stable code.
3. `fmt::rt` - this module contains the runtime type definitions primarily for
the `rt::Argument` structure. Whenever an argument is formatted with
nonstandard flags, a corresponding `rt::Argument` is generated describing how
the argument is being formatted. This can be used to construct an
`Arguments`.
The primary interface to `std::fmt` is the `Arguments` structure, and as such
this type name is stabilize as-is today. It is expected for libraries to pass
around an `Arguments` structure to represent a pending formatted computation.
The remaining portions are largely "cruft" which would rather not be stabilized,
but due to the stability checks they must be. As a result, almost all pieces
have been renamed to represent that they are "version 1" of the formatting
representation. The theory is that at a later date if we change the
representation of these types we can add new definitions called "version 2" and
corresponding constructors for `Arguments`.
One of the other remaining large questions about the fmt module were how the
pending I/O reform would affect the signatures of methods in the module. Due to
[RFC 526][rfc], however, the writers of fmt are now incompatible with the
writers of io, so this question has largely been solved. As a result the
interfaces are largely stabilized as-is today.

Specifically, the following changes were made:
* The contents of `fmt::rt` were all moved under `fmt::rt::v1`
* `fmt::rt` is stable
* `fmt::rt::v1` is stable
* `Error` is stable
* `Writer` is stable
* `Writer::write_str` is stable
* `Writer::write_fmt` is stable
* `Formatter` is stable
* `Argument` has been renamed to `ArgumentV1` and is stable
* `ArgumentV1::new` is stable
* `ArgumentV1::from_uint` is stable
* `Arguments::new_v1` is stable (renamed from `new`)
* `Arguments::new_v1_formatted` is stable (renamed from `with_placeholders`)
* All formatting traits are now stable, as well as the `fmt` method.
* `fmt::write` is stable
* `fmt::format` is stable
* `Formatter::pad_integral` is stable
* `Formatter::pad` is stable
* `Formatter::write_str` is stable
* `Formatter::write_fmt` is stable
* Some assorted top level items which were only used by `format_args!` were
removed in favor of static functions on `ArgumentV1` as well.
* The formatting-flag-accessing methods remain unstable
Within the contents of the `fmt::rt::v1` module, the following actions were
taken:
* Reexports of all enum variants were removed
* All prefixes on enum variants were removed
* A few miscellaneous enum variants were renamed
* Otherwise all structs, fields, and variants were marked stable.
In addition to these actions in the `std::fmt` module, many implementations of
`Show` and `String` were stabilized as well.
In some other modules:
* `ToString` is now stable
* `ToString::to_string` is now stable
* `Vec` no longer implements `fmt::Writer` (this has moved to `String`)
This is a breaking change due to all of the changes to the `fmt::rt` module, but
this likely will not have much impact on existing programs.

This partially implements the feature staging described in the
[release channel RFC][rc]. It does not yet fully conform to the RFC as
written, but does accomplish its goals sufficiently for the 1.0 alpha
release.
It has three primary user-visible effects:
* On the nightly channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of feature gates generates a warning.
Code that does not trigger these warnings is considered 'stable',
modulo pre-1.0 bugs.
Disabling the warnings for unstable APIs continues to be done in the
existing (i.e. old) style, via `#[allow(...)]`, not that specified in
the RFC. I deem this marginally acceptable since any code that must do
this is not using the stable dialect of Rust.
Use of feature gates is itself gated with the new 'unstable_features'
lint, on nightly set to 'allow', and on beta 'warn'.
The attribute scheme used here corresponds to an older version of the
RFC, with the `#[staged_api]` crate attribute toggling the staging
behavior of the stability attributes, but the user impact is only
in-tree so I'm not concerned about having to make design changes later
(and I may ultimately prefer the scheme here after all, with the
`#[staged_api]` crate attribute).
Since the Rust codebase itself makes use of unstable features the
compiler and build system to a midly elaborate dance to allow it to
bootstrap while disobeying these lints (which would otherwise be
errors because Rust builds with `-D warnings`).
This patch includes one significant hack that causes a
regression. Because the `format_args!` macro emits calls to unstable
APIs it would trigger the lint. I added a hack to the lint to make it
not trigger, but this in turn causes arguments to `println!` not to be
checked for feature gates. I don't presently understand macro
expansion well enough to fix. This is bug #20661.
Closes#16678

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization
story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports.
Some reexports are kept around, however:
* `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn.
* `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to
prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed.
* All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all
at once to `std::io::prelude::*`.
This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and
the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to
find the locations of where to import them.

Closes#20068
cannot use an `as` expression to coerce, so I used a one-off function
instead (this is a no-op in stage0, but in stage1+ it triggers
coercion from the fn pointer to the fn item type).
This change makes the compiler no longer infer whether types (structures
and enumerations) implement the `Copy` trait (and thus are implicitly
copyable). Rather, you must implement `Copy` yourself via `impl Copy for
MyType {}`.
A new warning has been added, `missing_copy_implementations`, to warn
you if a non-generic public type has been added that could have
implemented `Copy` but didn't.
For convenience, you may *temporarily* opt out of this behavior by using
`#![feature(opt_out_copy)]`. Note though that this feature gate will never be
accepted and will be removed by the time that 1.0 is released, so you should
transition your code away from using it.
This breaks code like:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
Change this code to:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
impl Copy for Point2D {}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}

The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

Enum variants are now in both the value and type namespaces. This means that
if you have a variant with the same name as a type in scope in a module, you
will get a name clash and thus an error. The solution is to either rename the
type or the variant.

Changed all the tests to use the new extern crate syntax
Change pretty printer to use 'as' syntax
declared with the same name in the same scope.
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.

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.

This adds support for `quote_arm!(cx, $pat => $expr)`, and `macro_rules!(($a:arm) => (...))`. It also fixes a bug in pretty printing, where this would generate invalid code:
```

1 => 2,
_ => 3,
}
```
It would generate this code:
```

This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.
