This upcast coercion currently preserves the vtable for the object, but
eventually it can be used to create a derived vtable. The upcast
coercion is not introduced into method dispatch; see comment on #18737
for information about why. Fixes#18737.
This commit deprecates the `count`, `range` and `range_step` functions
in `iter`, in favor of range notation. To recover all existing
functionality, a new `step_by` adapter is provided directly on `ops::Range`
and `ops::RangeFrom`.

Finally making progress on a fully native toolchain. Specifically, this makes it possible to move forward by building librustllvm on the target platform.

This still needs to somehow figure out how to avoid unstable warnings arising from the use of unstable functions. I tried to use `#[allow_internal_unstable]` but it still spits out warnings as far as I can see. @huonw (I think you implemented it) does `#[allow_internal_unstable]` not work for some reason or am I using it incorrectly?
This commit starts to organize the `std::os::$platform` modules and in the
process stabilizes some of the functionality contained within. The organization
of these modules will reflect the organization of the standard library itself
with extension traits for primitives in the same corresponding module.
The OS-specific modules will grow more functionality over time including
concrete types that are not extending functionality of other structures, and
these will either go into the closest module in `std::os::$platform` or they
will grow a new module in the hierarchy.
The following items are now stable:
* `os::{unix, windows}`
* `unix::ffi`
* `unix::ffi::OsStrExt`
* `unix::ffi::OsStrExt::{from_bytes, as_bytes, to_cstring}`
* `unix::ffi::OsString`
* `unix::ffi::OsStringExt::{from_vec, into_vec}`
* `unix::process`
* `unix::process::CommandExt`
* `unix::process::CommandExt::{uid, gid}`
* `unix::process::ExitStatusExt`
* `unix::process::ExitStatusExt::signal`
* `unix::prelude`
* `windows::ffi`
* `windows::ffi::OsStringExt`
* `windows::ffi::OsStringExt::from_wide`
* `windows::ffi::OsStrExt`
* `windows::ffi::OsStrExt::encode_wide`
* `windows::prelude`
The following items remain unstable:
* `unix::io`
* `unix::io::{Fd, AsRawFd}`
* `unix::fs::{PermissionsExt, OpenOptionsExt}`
* `windows::io`
* `windows::io::{Handle, AsRawHandle}`
* `windows::io::{Socket, AsRawSocket}`
* `windows::fs`
* `windows::fs::OpenOptionsExt`
Due to the reorgnization of the platform extension modules, this commit is a
breaking change. Most imports can be fixed by adding the relevant libstd module
in the `use` path (such as `ffi` or `fs`).

`std::io` does not currently expose the `stdin_raw`, `stdout_raw`, or
`stderr_raw` functions. According to the current plans for stdio (see
rust-lang/rfcs#517), raw access will likely be provided using the
platform-specific `std::os::{unix,windows}` modules. At the moment we
don't expose any way to do this. As such, delete all mention of the
`*_raw` functions from the `stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr` function
documentation.
While we're at it, remove a few `pub`s from items that aren't exposed.
This is done just to lessen the confusion experienced by anyone who
looks at the source in an attempt to find the `*_raw` functions.
It is a frequent pattern among I/O functions to take `P: AsPath + ?Sized` or
`AsOsStr` instead of `AsPath`. Most of these functions do not need to take
ownership of their argument, but for libraries in general it's much more
ergonomic to not deal with `?Sized` at all and simply require an argument `P`
instead of `&P`.
This change is aimed at removing unsightly `?Sized` bounds while retaining the
same level of usability as before. All affected functions now take ownership of
their arguments instead of taking them by reference, but due to the forwarding
implementations of `AsOsStr` and `AsPath` all code should continue to work as it
did before.
This is strictly speaking a breaking change due to the signatures of these
functions changing, but normal idiomatic usage of these APIs should not break in
practice.

LLVM older that 3.6 has a bug that cause assertions when compiling certain
constructs. For 3.5 there's still a chance that the bug might get fixed
in 3.5.2, so let's keep allowing to compile with it for it for now.

This adds search by type (for functions/methods) support to Rustdoc. Target issue is at https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/658.
I've described my approach here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/658#issuecomment-76484200. I'll copy the text in here as well:

Hi, it took me longer than I wished, but I have implemented this in a not-too-complex way that I think can be extended to support more complex features (like the ones mentioned [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/12866#issuecomment-66945317)).
The idea is to generate a JSON representation of the types of methods/functions in the existing index, and then make the JS understand when it should look by type (and not by name).
I tried to come up with a JSON representation that can be extended to support generics, bounds, ref/mut annotations and so on. Here are a few samples:
Function:
```rust
fn to_uppercase(c: char) -> char
```
```json
{
"inputs": [
{"name": "char"}
],
"output": {
"name": "char",
}
}
```
Method (implemented or defined in trait):
```rust
// in struct Vec
// self is considered an argument as well
fn capacity(&self) -> usize
```
```json
{
"inputs": [
{"name": "vec"}
],
"output": {
"name": "usize"
}
}
```
This simple format can be extended by adding more fields, like `generic: bool`, a `bounds` mapping and so on.
I have a working implementation in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/compare/master...mihneadb:rustdoc-search-by-type. You can check out a live demo [here](http://data.mihneadb.net/doc/std/index.html?search=charext%20-%3E%20char).
The feature list is not that long:
- search by types (you *can* use generics as well, as long as you use the exact name - e.g. [`vec,t -> `](http://data.mihneadb.net/doc/std/index.html?search=vec%2C%20t%20-%3E))
- order of arguments does not matter
- `self` is took into account as well (e.g. search for `vec -> usize`)
- does not use "complex" annotations (e.g. you don't search for `&char -> char` but for `char -> char`)
My goal is to get a working, minimal "base" merged so that others can build upon it. How should I proceed? Do I open a PR (badly in need of code review since this is my first non "hello world"-ish rust code)?
