This doesn't close any bugs as the goal is to convert the parameter to by-value, but this is a step towards being able to make guarantees about `&T` pointers (where T is Freeze) to LLVM.
Now rustdoc_ng will be built as both a binary and a library (using the same
rules as all the other binaries that rust has). Furthermore, this will also
start building rustdoc_ng unit tests (and running them).
Note that some `rustdoc_ng` tests were removed, but @cmr says they weren't supposed to be there in the first place. The rustdoc_ng code should also be included in `make install` and `make dist` now.
First shot at a new tutorial for rustpkg. /cc @catamorphism
Right now, I'm linking to my sample package on GitHub, I'm not sure that everyone would be comfortable with me having that there. Maybe under the mozilla org? I think having one to install and hold up as a default makes sense.
Closes#9221.
"rustpkg test" isn't implemented yet, so it shouldn't be in the manpage. Referring interested parties to the manual is probably
the right thing for now; eventually, these documents should merge.

In #8185 cross-crate condition handlers were fixed by ensuring that globals
didn't start appearing in different crates with different addressed. An
unfortunate side effect of that pull request is that constants weren't inlined
across crates (uint::bits is unknown to everything but libstd).
This commit fixes this inlining by using the `available_eternally` linkage
provided by LLVM. It partially reverts #8185, and then adds support for this
linkage type. The main caveat is that not all statics could be inlined into
other crates. Before this patch, all statics were considered "inlineable items",
but an unfortunate side effect of how we deal with `&static` and `&[static]`
means that these two cases cannot be inlined across crates. The translation of
constants was modified to propogate this condition of whether a constant
should be considered inlineable into other crates.
Closes#9036
Fix uint overflow bugs in std::{at_vec, vec, str}
Closes#8742
Fix issue #8742, which summarized is: unsafe code in vec and str did assume
that a reservation for `X + Y` elements always succeeded, and didn't overflow.
Introduce the method `Vec::reserve_additional(n)` to make it easy to check for
overflow in `Vec::push` and `Vec::push_all`.
In std::str, simplify and remove a lot of the unsafe code and use `push_str`
instead. With improvements to `.push_str` and the new function
`vec::bytes::push_bytes`, it looks like this change has either no or positive
impact on performance.
I believe there are many places still where `v.reserve(A + B)` still can overflow.
This by itself is not an issue unless followed by (unsafe) code that steps aside
boundary checks.

also removes the unused `FastInvoke` wrapper, as it's never actually
going to be used (we can't *partially* switch to `fastcc`, and this is
only used for Rust functions)

This module was removed a while ago, but the tasks tutorial wasn't
updated, and the old docs page for pipes was never deleted so the link
confusingly still worked!
The `noalias` attributes were being set only on function definitions,
not on all declarations. This is harmless for `noalias`, but prevented
some optimization opportunities and is *not* harmless for other
attributes like `sret` with ABI implications.
Closes#9104
`push_bytes` is implemented with `ptr::copy_memory` here since this
function is intended to be used to implement `.push_str()` for str, so
we want to avoid the overhead.
Issue #8742
Add the method `.reserve_additional(n: uint)`: Check for overflow in
self.len() + n, and reserve that many elements (rounded up to next power
of two). Does nothing if self.len() + n < self.capacity() already.
It now uses `{"type": VariantName, "fields": [...]}`, which, according to
@Seldaek, since all enums will have the same "shape" rather than being a weird
ad-hoc array, will optimize better in javascript JITs. It also looks prettier,
and makes more sense.
A SendStr is a string that can hold either a ~str or a &'static str.
This can be useful as an optimization when an allocation is sometimes needed but the common case is statically known.
Possible use cases include Maps with both static and owned keys, or propagating error messages across task boundaries.
SendStr implements most basic traits in a way that hides the fact that it is an enum; in particular things like order and equality are only determined by the content of the wrapped strings.
This basically reimplements #7599 and has a use case for replacing an similar type in `std::rt::logging` ( Added in #9180).

This doesn't enable it by default yet, or include the frontend. But the tool
is pretty much done, and it'd be nice to stave off bitrot.
I couldn't get it to actually build with the Makefile though. I don't really
understand what is going on in that makefile at all. Could @graydon or
@pnkfelix lend a hand?
