This almost removes the StringRef wrapper, since all strings are
Equiv-alent now. Removes a lot of `/* bad */ copy *`'s, and converts
several things to be &'static str (the lint table and the intrinsics
table).
There are many instances of .to_managed(), unfortunately.
This commit won't be quite as useful until I implement RUST_PATH and
until we change `extern mod` to take a general string instead of
an identifier (#5682 and #6407).
With that said, now if you're using rustpkg and a program contains:
extern mod foo;
rustpkg will attempt to search for `foo`, so that you don't have to
provide a -L directory explicitly. In addition, rustpkg will
actually try to build and install `foo`, unless it's already
installed (specifically, I tested that `extern mod extra;` would
not cause it to try to find source for `extra` and compile it
again).
This is as per #5681.
Incidentally, I changed some driver code to infer the link name
from the crate link_meta attributes. If that change isn't ok, say
something. Also, I changed the addl_lib_search_paths field in the
session options to be an @mut ~[Path] so that it can be modified
after expansion but before later phases.
Most of the relevant information can be found in the commit messages.
r? @brson - I just wanted to make sure the make changes aren't completely bogus
This would close#2400, #6517, and #6489 (although a run through incoming-full on linux would have to confirm the latter two)
mentioned in #2625.
This change makes the module more oriented around
Process values instead of having to deal with process ids
directly.
Apart from issues mentioned in #2625, other changes include:
- Changing the naming to be more consistent - Process/process
is now used instead of a mixture of Program/program and
Process/process.
- More docs/tests.
Some io/scheduler related issues remain (mentioned in #2625).
...and cleanup, making how we handle version numbers more rational
(specifically, not passing in a versioned name to rustc
with the -o flag), and removing unused code.
This patch implements package IDs like
github.com/catamorphism/test-pkg.
To support such package IDs, I changed the PkgId struct to contain
a LocalPath and a RemotePath field, where the RemotePath reflects
the actual URL and the LocalPath reflects the file name of the cached
copy. Right now, the only difference is that the local path doesn't
contain dashes, but this will change when we implement #6407.
Also, PkgIds now have a short_name field -- though the short name
can be derived from the LocalPath, I thought it was cleaner not to
call option::get() wantonly.
