This commit stabilizes a few remaining bits of the `io::Error` type:
* The `Error::new` method is now stable. The last `detail` parameter was removed
and the second `desc` parameter was generalized to `E: Into<Box<Error>>` to
allow creating an I/O error from any form of error. Currently there is no form
of downcasting, but this will be added in time.
* An implementation of `From<&str> for Box<Error>` was added to liballoc to
allow construction of errors from raw strings.
* The `Error::raw_os_error` method was stabilized as-is.
* Trait impls for `Clone`, `Eq`, and `PartialEq` were removed from `Error` as it
is not possible to use them with trait objects.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of the `new` method as well as
the removal of the trait implementations for the `Error` type.

This removes the FromError trait, since it can now be expressed using
the new convert::Into trait. All implementations of FromError<E> where
changed to From<E>, and `try!` was changed to use From::from instead.
Because this removes FromError, it is a breaking change, but fixing it
simply requires changing the words `FromError` to `From`, and
`from_error` to `from`.
[breaking-change]
This commit stabilizes the following APIs:
* `TypeId::of` - now that it has an `Any` bound it's ready to be stable.
* `Box<Any>::downcast` - now that an inherent impl on `Box<Any>` as well as
`Box<Any+Send>` is allowed the `BoxAny` trait is removed in favor of these
inherent methods.
This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `BoxAny` trait, but
consumers can simply remove imports to fix crates.

This upcast coercion currently never requires vtable changes. It should be generalized.
This is a [breaking-change] -- if you have an impl on an object type like `impl SomeTrait`, then this will no longer be applicable to object types like `SomeTrait+Send`. In the standard library, this primarily affected `Any`, and this PR adds impls for `Any+Send` as to keep the API the same in practice. An alternate workaround is to use UFCS form or standalone fns. For more details, see <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/18737#issuecomment-78450798>.

This upcast coercion currently preserves the vtable for the object, but
eventually it can be used to create a derived vtable. The upcast
coercion is not introduced into method dispatch; see comment on #18737
for information about why. Fixes#18737.
Many of the modifications putting in `Box::new` calls also include a
pointer to Issue 22405, which tracks going back to `box <expr>` if
possible in the future.
(Still tried to use `Box<_>` where it sufficed; thus some tests still
have `box_syntax` enabled, as they use a mix of `box` and `Box::new`.)
Precursor for overloaded-`box` and placement-`in`; see Issue 22181.
... to convert between Box and raw pointers. E. g. use
```
let b: Box<Foo> = Box::from_raw(p);
```
instead of
```
let b: Box<Foo> = mem::transmute(p);
```
Patch also changes closure release code in `src/libstd/sys/unix/thread.rs`
when `pthread_create` failed. Raw pointer was transmuted to box of
`FnOnce()` instead of `Thunk`. This code was probably never executed,
because `pthread_create` rarely fails in practice.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 823][rfc] which is another pass over
the `std::hash` module for stabilization. The contents of the module were not
entirely marked stable, but some portions which remained quite similar to the
previous incarnation are now marked `#[stable]`. Specifically:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0823-hash-simplification.md
* `std::hash` is now stable (the name)
* `Hash` is now stable
* `Hash::hash` is now stable
* `Hasher` is now stable
* `SipHasher` is now stable
* `SipHasher::new` and `new_with_keys` are now stable
* `Hasher for SipHasher` is now stable
* Many `Hash` implementations are now stable
All other portions of the `hash` module remain `#[unstable]` as they are less
commonly used and were recently redesigned.
This commit is a breaking change due to the modifications to the `std::hash` API
and more details can be found on the [RFC][rfc].
Closes#22467
[breaking-change]
This removes the `ByRef` iterator adaptor to stay in line with the changes to
`std::io`. The `by_ref` method instead just returns `&mut Self`.
This also removes the implementation of `Iterator for &mut Iterator` and instead
generalizes it to `Iterator for &mut I` where `I: Iterator + ?Sized`. The
`Box<I>` implementations were also updated.
This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `std::iter::ByRef` type. All
mentions of `ByRef<'a, T>` should be replaced with `&mut T` to migrate forward.

Functions are needed for safety and convenience.
It is a common pattern to use `mem::transmute` to convert between
`Box` and raw pointer, like this:
```
let b = Box::new(3);
let p = mem::transmute(b);
// pass `p` to some C library
```
After this commit, conversion can be written as:
```
let p = boxed::into_raw(b);
```
`into_raw` and `from_raw` functions are still unsafe, but they are
much safer than `mem::transmute`, because *raw functions do not
convert between incompatible pointers. For example, this likely
incorrect code can be successfully compiled:
```
let p: *mut u64 = ...
let b: Box<u32> = mem::transmute(p);
```
Using `from_raw` results in compile-time error:
```
let p: *mut u64 = ...
let b: Box<u32> = Box::from_raw(p); // compile-time error
```
`into_raw` and `from_raw` functions are similar to C++ `std::unique_ptr`
`release` function [1] and constructor from pointer [2].

In the future, we will likely derive these `impl`s via syntax extensions or using compiler magic (see #20617). For the time being we can use these manual `impl`s.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 565][rfc] which is a stabilization of
the `std::fmt` module and the implementations of various formatting traits.
Specifically, the following changes were performed:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0565-show-string-guidelines.md
* The `Show` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Debug`
* The `String` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Display`
* Many `Debug` and `Display` implementations were audited in accordance with the
RFC and audited implementations now have the `#[stable]` attribute
* Integers and floats no longer print a suffix
* Smart pointers no longer print details that they are a smart pointer
* Paths with `Debug` are now quoted and escape characters
* The `unwrap` methods on `Result` now require `Display` instead of `Debug`
* The `Error` trait no longer has a `detail` method and now requires that
`Display` must be implemented. With the loss of `String`, this has moved into
libcore.
* `impl<E: Error> FromError<E> for Box<Error>` now exists
* `derive(Show)` has been renamed to `derive(Debug)`. This is not currently
warned about due to warnings being emitted on stage1+
While backwards compatibility is attempted to be maintained with a blanket
implementation of `Display` for the old `String` trait (and the same for
`Show`/`Debug`) this is still a breaking change due to primitives no longer
implementing `String` as well as modifications such as `unwrap` and the `Error`
trait. Most code is fairly straightforward to update with a rename or tweaks of
method calls.

Closes#21436
This commit aims to stabilize the `TypeId` abstraction by moving it out of the
`intrinsics` module into the `any` module of the standard library. Specifically,
* `TypeId` is now defined at `std::any::TypeId`
* `TypeId::hash` has been removed in favor of an implementation of `Hash`.
This commit also performs a final pass over the `any` module, confirming the
following:
* `Any::get_type_id` remains unstable as *usage* of the `Any` trait will likely
never require this, and the `Any` trait does not need to be implemented for
any other types. As a result, this implementation detail can remain unstable
until associated statics are implemented.
* `Any::downcast_ref` is now stable
* `Any::downcast_mut` is now stable
* `BoxAny` remains unstable. While a direct impl on `Box<Any>` is allowed today
it does not allow downcasting of trait objects like `Box<Any + Send>` (those
returned from `Thread::join`). This is covered by #18737.
* `BoxAny::downcast` is now stable.
This gets rid of the 'experimental' level, removes the non-staged_api
case (i.e. stability levels for out-of-tree crates), and lets the
staged_api attributes use 'unstable' and 'deprecated' lints.
This makes the transition period to the full feature staging design
a bit nicer.
This changes a line that has `\n#[stable]}` to instead have `}\n#[stable]`.
The #[stable] has been before the bracket since b94bcbf56e.
This is a (very) minor change, and I have not built this locally because of my not-so-powerful machine.
This commit performs a pass over the implementations of the new `String` trait
in the formatting module. Some implementations were removed as a conservative
move pending an upcoming convention about `String` implementations, and some
were added in order to retain consistency across the libraries. Specifically:
* All "smart pointers" implement `String` now, adding missing implementations
for `Arc` and `Rc`.
* The `Vec<T>` and `[T]` types no longer implement `String`.
* The `*const T` and `*mut T` type no longer implement `String`.
* The `()` type no longer implements `String`.
* The `Path` type's `Show` implementation does not surround itself with `Path
{}` (a minor tweak).
All implementations of `String` in this PR were also marked `#[stable]` to
indicate that the types will continue to implement the `String` trait regardless
of what it looks like.
