This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes
all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely,
folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate
of each function in the `cast` module.
* transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as
#[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute`
function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment).
For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898
* transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is
is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different
sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This
function is now #[stable]
* forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable]
* bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of
managed boxes as well as its questionable utility.
* transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part
of this commit.
* transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it
can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was
removed.
* transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong
indication that code is incorrect in the first place.
* transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as
`transmute_lifetime`
* copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked
`#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in
the future if it is found to not be very useful.
* copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same
treatment as `copy_lifetime`.
* copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today,
and its existence is not necessary with DST
(copy_lifetime will suffice).
In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the
functions were moved to the `mem` module.
transmute - #[unstable]
transmute_copy - #[stable]

Especially in the tutorial beginners should not be confused with
wrong terminology. It helps to know the right names for things
when you want to find something in the documentation.
In stage0, all allocations are 8-byte aligned. Passing a size and
alignment to free is not yet implemented everywhere (0 size and 8 align
are used as placeholders). Fixing this is part of #13994.
Closes#13616
This adds a `std::rt::heap` module with a nice allocator API. It's a
step towards fixing #13094 and is a starting point for working on a
generic allocator trait.
The revision used for the jemalloc submodule is the stable 3.6.0 release.
Closes#11807
The goal of this refactoring is to make the rustc driver code easier to understand and use. Since this is as close to an API as we have, I think it is important that it is nice. On getting stuck in, I found that there wasn't as much to change as I'd hoped to make the stage... fns easier to use by tools.
This patch only moves code around - mostly just moving code to different files, but a few extracted method refactorings too. To summarise the changes: I added driver::config which handles everything about configuring the compiler. driver::session now just defines and builds session objects. I moved driver code from librustc/lib.rs to librustc/driver/mod.rs so all the code is one place. I extracted methods to make emulating the compiler without being the compiler a little easier. Within the driver directory, I moved code around to more logically fit in the modules.
cindent handles the following case incorrectly:
impl X {
b: int,
//
c: int,
}
if you try and insert a new line after the `c` declaration.
To fix this, fix the get_line_trimmed() function to work properly, and
then extend GetRustIndent to keep searching backwards until it finds a
non-blank line after trimming. This lets it handle the trailing comma
case properly, as if the comment were never there.
Fixes#14041.
See #14064 for some rationale, but the basic idea is that I suspect that there
is an LLVM codegen bug somewhere, and I'm not entirely sure why it's happening
intermittently rather than deterministically...

Printing <no-bounds> on trait objects comes from a time when trait
objects had a non-empty default bounds set. As they no longer have any
default bounds, printing <no-bounds> is just noise.

Attribute grammar in reference manual allowed `#[foo, bar]`, which does not match parser behavior.
Also rename nonterminals to match parser code.

ty::substs struct. This is a holdover from the olden days of yore. This patch
removes the last vestiges of that practice. This is part of the work
I was doing on #5527.
This was intended as part of the I/O timeouts commit, but it was mistakenly
forgotten. The type of the timeout argument is not guaranteed to remain constant
into the future.

With `~[T]` no longer growable, the `FromIterator` impl for `~[T]` doesn't make
much sense. Not only that, but nearly everywhere it is used is to convert from
a `Vec<T>` into a `~[T]`, for the sake of maintaining existing APIs. This turns
out to be a performance loss, as it means every API that returns `~[T]`, even a
supposedly non-copying one, is in fact doing extra allocations and memcpy's.
Even `&[T].to_owned()` is going through `Vec<T>` first.
Remove the `FromIterator` impl for `~[T]`, and adjust all the APIs that relied
on it to start using `Vec<T>` instead. This includes rewriting
`&[T].to_owned()` to be more efficient, among other performance wins.
Also add a new mechanism to go from `Vec<T>` -> `~[T]`, just in case anyone
truly needs that, using the new trait `FromVec`.

The code in resolve erroneously assumed that private enums weren't visited, so
the logic was adjusted to check to see if the enum definition itself was public.
