If a static is flagged as address_insignificant, then for LLVM to actually
perform the relevant optimization it must have an internal linkage type. What
this means, though, is that the static will not be available to other crates.
Hence, if you have a generic function with an inner static, it will fail to link
when built as a library because other crates will attempt to use the inner
static externally.
This gets around the issue by inlining the static into the metadata. The same
relevant optimization is then applied separately in the external crate. What
this ends up meaning is that all statics tagged with #[address_insignificant]
will appear at most once per crate (by value), but they could appear in multiple
crates.
This should be the last blocker for using format! ...
A quick rundown:
- added `file::{readdir, stat, mkdir, rmdir}`
- Added access-constrained versions of `FileStream`; `FileReader` and `FileWriter` respectively
- big rework in `uv::file` .. most actions are by-val-self methods on `FsRequest`; `FileDescriptor` has gone the way of the dinosaurs
- playing nice w/ homing IO (I just copied ecr's work, hehe), etc
- added `FileInfo` trait, with an impl for `Path`
- wrapper for file-specific actions, with the file path always implied by self's value
- has the means to create `FileReader` & `FileWriter` (this isn't exposed in the top-level free function API)
- has "safe" wrappers for `stat()` that won't throw in the event of non-existence/error (in this case, I mean `is_file` and `exists`)
- actions should fail if done on non-regular-files, as appropriate
- added `DirectoryInfo` trait, with an impl for `Path`
- pretty much ditto above, but for directories
- added `readdir` (!!) to iterate over entries in a dir as a `~[Path]` (this was *brutal* to get working)
...<del>and lots of other stuff</del>not really. Do your worst!

Closes#9045
Built on top of #9235, which isn't strictly needed for now, but I imagine I will use part of. Unsure.
I mostly wanted to start this off to get some feedback from @catamorphism and others. These are the directories that actually need made, but I was thinking about adding a few other things:
1. an `examples` directory, since it seems like that's a common pattern
2. a `.gitignore` file that ignores `build`. And anything else that makes sense
3. a sample module that'd actually compile
Feedback?
This constrains the span to the appropriate argument, so you know which
one caused the problem. Instead of
foo.rs:2:4: 2:21 error: Too large integer literal in bytes!
foo.rs:2 bytes!(1, 256, 2)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it will say
foo.rs:2:14 2:17 error: Too large integer literal in bytes!
foo.rs:2 bytes!(1, 256, 2)

This doesn't close any bugs as the goal is to convert the parameter to by-value, but this is a step towards being able to make guarantees about `&T` pointers (where T is Freeze) to LLVM.
Now rustdoc_ng will be built as both a binary and a library (using the same
rules as all the other binaries that rust has). Furthermore, this will also
start building rustdoc_ng unit tests (and running them).
Note that some `rustdoc_ng` tests were removed, but @cmr says they weren't supposed to be there in the first place. The rustdoc_ng code should also be included in `make install` and `make dist` now.
First shot at a new tutorial for rustpkg. /cc @catamorphism
Right now, I'm linking to my sample package on GitHub, I'm not sure that everyone would be comfortable with me having that there. Maybe under the mozilla org? I think having one to install and hold up as a default makes sense.
Closes#9221.
"rustpkg test" isn't implemented yet, so it shouldn't be in the manpage. Referring interested parties to the manual is probably
the right thing for now; eventually, these documents should merge.

In #8185 cross-crate condition handlers were fixed by ensuring that globals
didn't start appearing in different crates with different addressed. An
unfortunate side effect of that pull request is that constants weren't inlined
across crates (uint::bits is unknown to everything but libstd).
This commit fixes this inlining by using the `available_eternally` linkage
provided by LLVM. It partially reverts #8185, and then adds support for this
linkage type. The main caveat is that not all statics could be inlined into
other crates. Before this patch, all statics were considered "inlineable items",
but an unfortunate side effect of how we deal with `&static` and `&[static]`
means that these two cases cannot be inlined across crates. The translation of
constants was modified to propogate this condition of whether a constant
should be considered inlineable into other crates.
Closes#9036
std: remove unneeded field from RequestData struct
std: rt::uv::file - map us_fs_stat & start refactoring calls into FsRequest
std: stubbing out stat calls from the top-down into uvio
std: us_fs_* operations are now by-val self methods on FsRequest
std: post-rebase cleanup
std: add uv_fs_mkdir|rmdir + tests & minor test cleanup in rt::uv::file
WORKING: fleshing out FileStat and FileInfo + tests
std: reverting test files..
refactoring back and cleanup...
Fix uint overflow bugs in std::{at_vec, vec, str}
Closes#8742
Fix issue #8742, which summarized is: unsafe code in vec and str did assume
that a reservation for `X + Y` elements always succeeded, and didn't overflow.
Introduce the method `Vec::reserve_additional(n)` to make it easy to check for
overflow in `Vec::push` and `Vec::push_all`.
In std::str, simplify and remove a lot of the unsafe code and use `push_str`
instead. With improvements to `.push_str` and the new function
`vec::bytes::push_bytes`, it looks like this change has either no or positive
impact on performance.
I believe there are many places still where `v.reserve(A + B)` still can overflow.
This by itself is not an issue unless followed by (unsafe) code that steps aside
boundary checks.
