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.
I'm leaving off `rustdoc` usage because it won't work unless this is a `pub fn`, and I want to talk about public/private in the context of modules. I'm also not mentioning `//!` because it is exclusively used to provide the overview of a module.
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.

[breaking-change] Use `Sized?` to indicate a dynamically sized type parameter or trait (used to be `type`). E.g.,
```

This will break code that looks like:

Change this code to:
struct Foo {

impl Foo {

Or rename the module.

Extend the null ptr optimization to work with slices, closures, procs, & trait objects by using the internal pointers as the discriminant.
This decreases the size of `Option<&[int]>` (and similar) by one word.
This will break code that used the old `Index` trait. Change this code
to use the new `Index` traits. For reference, here are their signatures:
pub trait Index<Index,Result> {
fn index<'a>(&'a self, index: &Index) -> &'a Result;
}
pub trait IndexMut<Index,Result> {
fn index_mut<'a>(&'a mut self, index: &Index) -> &'a mut Result;
}

- created new crate, libunicode, below libstd
- split Char trait into Char (libcore) and UnicodeChar (libunicode)
- Unicode-aware functions now live in libunicode
- is_alphabetic, is_XID_start, is_XID_continue, is_lowercase,
is_uppercase, is_whitespace, is_alphanumeric, is_control,
is_digit, to_uppercase, to_lowercase
- added width method in UnicodeChar trait
- determines printed width of character in columns, or None if it is
a non-NULL control character
- takes a boolean argument indicating whether the present context is
CJK or not (characters with 'A'mbiguous widths are double-wide in
CJK contexts, single-wide otherwise)
- split StrSlice into StrSlice (libcore) and UnicodeStrSlice
(libunicode)
- functionality formerly in StrSlice that relied upon Unicode
functionality from Char is now in UnicodeStrSlice
- words, is_whitespace, is_alphanumeric, trim, trim_left, trim_right
- also moved Words type alias into libunicode because words method is
in UnicodeStrSlice
- unified Unicode tables from libcollections, libcore, and libregex into
libunicode
- updated unicode.py in src/etc to generate aforementioned tables
- generated new tables based on latest Unicode data
- added UnicodeChar and UnicodeStrSlice traits to prelude
- libunicode is now the collection point for the std::char module,
combining the libunicode functionality with the Char functionality
from libcore
- thus, moved doc comment for char from core::char to unicode::char
- libcollections remains the collection point for std::str
The Unicode-aware functions that previously lived in the Char and
StrSlice traits are no longer available to programs that only use
libcore. To regain use of these methods, include the libunicode crate
and use the UnicodeChar and/or UnicodeStrSlice traits:
extern crate unicode;
use unicode::UnicodeChar;
use unicode::UnicodeStrSlice;
use unicode::Words; // if you want to use the words() method
NOTE: this does *not* impact programs that use libstd, since UnicodeChar
and UnicodeStrSlice have been added to the prelude.
