The C standard library functions should be used directly. The quirky
NULL / zero-size allocation workaround is no longer necessary and was
adding an extra branch to the allocator code path in a build without
jemalloc. This is a small step towards liballoc being compatible with
handling OOM errors instead of aborting (#18292).
[breaking-change]
With MIN_ALIGN as a static, other crates don't have access to its value
at compile time, because it is an extern global. That means that the
checks against it can't be optimized out, which is rather unfortunate.
So let's make it a constant instead.
Explain the primary disadvantage of garbage collection is runtime
overhead and unpredictable pauses. Elucidate where the name "race
condition" comes from. Emphasize that Rust can guarantee your code is
free of race conditions and other memory errors, with no runtime
overhead.

Rather than doing it top-down, with a known expected type, we will now simply establish the appropriate constraints between the pattern and the expression it destructures.
Closes#8783.
Closes#10200.
Adds an `assume` intrinsic that gets translated to llvm.assume. It is
used on a boolean expression and allows the optimizer to assume that
the expression is true.
This implements #18051.
Instead of checking patterns in a top-down fashion with a known
expected type on entry, this changes makes typeck establish
appropriate constraints between a pattern and the expression
it destructures, and lets inference compute the final types
or produce good error messages if it's impossible.
This installs signal handlers to print out stack overflow messages on Linux. It also ensures the main thread has a guard page.
This will catch stack overflows in external code. It's done in preparation of switching to stack probes (#16012).
I've done some simple tests with overflowing the main thread, native threads and green threads (with and without UV) on x86-64.
This might work on ARM, MIPS and x86-32.
I've been unable to run the test suite on this because of #16305.
Closes#17075
I don't know if this is correct. The easiest way to find out is to run the following program on all targets but I can't do it myself.
```c
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
if (sizeof(intmax_t) != 8) {
puts("ERROR");
return 1;
}
}
```

This in theory enables uncommenting IndexMut implementations, but upon doing so
the compiler immediately segfaulted in stage1, so I'll leave those to a later
time.
This reverts commit a0ec902e23 "Avoid
unnecessary temporary on assignments".
Leaving out the temporary for the functions return value can lead to a
situation that conflicts with rust's aliasing rules.
Given this:
````rust
fn func(f: &mut Foo) -> Foo { /* ... */ }
fn bar() {
let mut foo = Foo { /* ... */ };
foo = func(&mut foo);
}
````
We effectively get two mutable references to the same variable `foo` at
the same time. One for the parameter `f`, and one for the hidden
out-pointer. So we can't just `trans_into` the destination directly, but
must use `trans` to get a new temporary slot from which the result can
be copied.
