The drop block has been deprecated for quite some time. This patch series removes support for parsing it and all the related machinery that made drop work.
As a side feature of all this, I also added the ability to annote fields in structs. This allows comments to be properly associated with an individual field. However, I didn't update `rustdoc` to integrate these comment blocks into the documentation it generates.
After much discussion on IRC and #4819, we have decided to revert to the old naming of the `/` operator. This does not change its behavior. In making this change, we also have had to rename some of the methods in the `Integer` trait. Here is a list of the methods that have changed:
- `Quot::quot` -> `Div::div`
- `Rem::rem` - stays the same
- `Integer::quot_rem` -> `Integer::div_rem`
- `Integer::div` -> `Integer::div_floor`
- `Integer::modulo` -> `Integer::mod_floor`
- `Integer::div_mod` -> `Integer::div_mod_floor`
Adds two extra flags: `--linker` which takes extra flags to pass to the linker, can be used multiple times and `--print-link-args` which prints out linker arguments. Currently `--print-link-args` needs execution to get past translation to get the `LinkMeta` data.
I haven't done tests or updated any extra documentation yet, so this pull request is currently here for review.
Cases like `Either<@int,()>` have a null case with at most one value but
a nonzero number of fields; if we misreport this, then bad things can
happen inside of, for example, pattern matching.
Closes#6117.

A month's worth of parser cleanup here. Much of this is new comments and renaming. A number of these commits also remove unneeded code. Probably the biggest refactor here is splitting "parse_item_or_view_item" into two functions; it turns out that the only overlap between items in foreign modules and items in regular modules was macros, so this refactor should make things substantially easier for future maintenance.
I didn't know how to use "use" initially, and an error message like this would
have solved quite a bit of frustration. I think this properly handles cases
where it's not appropriate but I'm not sure.
