These two attributes are no longer useful now that Rust has decided to leave
segmented stacks behind. It is assumed that the rust task's stack is always
large enough to make an FFI call (due to the stack being very large).
There's always the case of stack overflow, however, to consider. This does not
change the behavior of stack overflow in Rust. This is still normally triggered
by the __morestack function and aborts the whole process.
C stack overflow will continue to corrupt the stack, however (as it did before
this commit as well). The future improvement of a guard page at the end of every
rust stack is still unimplemented and is intended to be the mechanism through
which we attempt to detect C stack overflow.

Since lint check attributes are the preferred way of selectively
enabling/disabling lint checks, the output format of a failed
default check has been changed to reflect that.
When lint checks are being explicitly set by a command-line flag
or an attribute, the behavior is unchanged, so that the user can
quickly pinpoint the source.
Closes#6580
This purges about 500 lines of visitor cruft from lint passes. All lints are
handled in a much more sane way at this point. The other huge bonus of this
commit is that there are no more @-boxes in the lint passes, fixing the 500MB
memory regression seen when the lint passes were refactored.
Closes#8589
r? anyone.
Part of #7081.
More refactorings of the syntax::visit::Visitor implementations, folding so-called "environments" into the visitor impl when the latter was previously a trivial unit struct.
As usual, this refactoring only applies when the environments are not actually carrying state that is meant to be pushed and popped as we traverse the expression. (For an example where the environment *isn't* just passed through, see the `visit_fn` in `liveness.rs`.)
Got rid of a bit of @-allocation in borrowck.
Both cases should be pure-refactorings.
This way syntax extensions can generate unsafe blocks without worrying about
them generating unnecessary unsafe warnings. Perhaps a special keyword could be
added to be used in macros, but I don't think that's the best solution.
There are 6 new compiler recognised attributes: deprecated, experimental,
unstable, stable, frozen, locked (these levels are taken directly from
Node's "stability index"[1]). These indicate the stability of the
item to which they are attached; e.g. `#[deprecated] fn foo() { .. }`
says that `foo` is deprecated.
This comes with 3 lints for the first 3 levels (with matching names) that
will detect the use of items marked with them (the `unstable` lint
includes items with no stability attribute). The attributes can be given
a short text note that will be displayed by the lint. An example:
#[warn(unstable)]; // `allow` by default
#[deprecated="use `bar`"]
fn foo() { }
#[stable]
fn bar() { }
fn baz() { }
fn main() {
foo(); // "warning: use of deprecated item: use `bar`"
bar(); // all fine
baz(); // "warning: use of unmarked item"
}
The lints currently only check the "edges" of the AST: i.e. functions,
methods[2], structs and enum variants. Any stability attributes on modules,
enums, traits and impls are not checked.

[2]: the method check is currently incorrect and doesn't work.
That is, there was lots more hacking than the other more-mechanical
ports Felix did.
There's also a strange pattern that I hacked in to accommodate the
Outer/Inner traversal structure of the existing code (which was
previously encoding this by untying the Y-combinator style knot of the
vtable, and then retying it but superimposing new methods that "stop
at items"). I hope either I or someone else can come back in the
future and replace this ugliness with something more natural.
Added boilerplate macro; all the OuterLint definitions are the same
(but must be abstracted over implementing struct, thus the macro).
Revised lint.rs use declarations to make ast references explicit.
Also removed unused imports.
Alpha-renamed top-level visit_* functions to walk_*.
(Motivation: Distinguish visit action and recursive traversal.)
Abstract over `&mut self` rather than over `@mut self`.
This required some acrobatics, notably the
`impl<E> Visitor<E> for @mut Visitor<E>`
and corresponding introduction of `@mut Visitor` and some local `let
mut` bindings.
Remove oldvisit reference.
Added default implementations for all of the Visitor trait methods.
Note that both `visit_expr_post` and `visit_ty` are no-op's by
default, just like they are in `oldvisit::default_visitor`.
Refactoring: extract logic to ease swapping visit for oldvisit (hopefully).
This is preparation for removing `@fn`.
This does *not* use default methods yet, because I don't know
whether they work. If they do, a forthcoming PR will use them.
This also changes the precedence of `as`.
Change the former repetition::
for 5.times { }
to::
do 5.times { }
.times() cannot be broken with `break` or `return` anymore; for those
cases, use a numerical range loop instead.
