1. Wherever the `buf` field of a `Formatter` was used, the `Formatter` is used
instead.
2. The usage of `write_fmt` is minimized as much as possible, the `write!` macro
is preferred wherever possible.
3. Usage of `fmt::write` is minimized, favoring the `write!` macro instead.
This was removed when the Robin Hood hash map came along, but it is a
useful thing to have.
The comment is taken directly from what was there before (e.g. in 0.9)
but with appropriate language changes (like `StrBuf` instead of `~str`).
On 32bit platforms, int is the same as i32, so 0xffffffff is "out of
range." Annotating variables as u32 fixes the problems.

This commit brings the local_data api up to modern rust standards with a few key
improvements:
* The `pop` and `set` methods have been combined into one method, `replace`
* The `get_mut` method has been removed. All interior mutability should be done
through `RefCell`.
* All functionality is now exposed as a method on the keys themselves. Instead
of importing std::local_data, you now use "key.replace()" and "key.get()".
* All closures have been removed in favor of RAII functionality. This means that
get() and get_mut() no long require closures, but rather return
Option<SmartPointer> where the smart pointer takes care of relinquishing the
borrow and also implements the necessary Deref traits
* The modify() function was removed to cut the local_data interface down to its
bare essentials (similarly to how RefCell removed set/get).

libstd: Implement `StrBuf`, a new string buffer type like `Vec`, and port all code over to use it.
Rebased & tests-fixed version of https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13269
Summary:
So far, we've used the term POD "Plain Old Data" to refer to types that
can be safely copied. However, this term is not consistent with the
other built-in bounds that use verbs instead. This patch renames the Pod
kind into Copy.

Previously, rust's hashtable was totally unoptimized. It used an Option
per key-value pair, and used very naive open allocation.
The old hashtable had very high variance in lookup time. For an example,
see the 'find_nonexisting' benchmark below. This is fixed by keys in
'lucky' spots with a low probe sequence length getting their good spots
stolen by keys with long probe sequence lengths. This reduces hashtable
probe length variance, while maintaining the same mean.
Also, other optimization liberties were taken. Everything is as cache
aware as possible, and this hashtable should perform extremely well for
both large and small keys and values.
Benchmarks:
comprehensive_old_hashmap 378 ns/iter (+/- 8)
comprehensive_new_hashmap 206 ns/iter (+/- 4)
1.8x faster
old_hashmap_as_queue 238 ns/iter (+/- 8)
new_hashmap_as_queue 119 ns/iter (+/- 2)
2x faster
old_hashmap_insert 172 ns/iter (+/- 8)
new_hashmap_insert 146 ns/iter (+/- 11)
1.17x faster
old_hashmap_find_existing 50 ns/iter (+/- 12)
new_hashmap_find_existing 35 ns/iter (+/- 6)
1.43x faster
old_hashmap_find_notexisting 49 ns/iter (+/- 49)
new_hashmap_find_notexisting 34 ns/iter (+/- 4)
1.44x faster
Memory usage of old hashtable (64-bit assumed):
aligned(8+sizeof(K)+sizeof(V))/0.75 + 6 words
Memory usage of new hashtable:
(aligned(sizeof(K))
+ aligned(sizeof(V))
+ 8)/0.9 + 6.5 words
BUT accesses are much more cache friendly. In fact, if the probe
sequence length is below 8, only two cache lines worth of hashes will be
pulled into cache. This is unlike the old version which would have to
stride over the stoerd keys and values, and would be more cache
unfriendly the bigger the stored values got.
And did you notice the higher load factor? We can now reasonably get a
load factor of 0.9 with very good performance.
Formatting via reflection has been a little questionable for some time now, and
it's a little unfortunate that one of the standard macros will silently use
reflection when you weren't expecting it. This adds small bits of code bloat to
libraries, as well as not always being necessary. In light of this information,
this commit switches assert_eq!() to using {} in the error message instead of
{:?}.
In updating existing code, there were a few error cases that I encountered:
* It's impossible to define Show for [T, ..N]. I think DST will alleviate this
because we can define Show for [T].
* A few types here and there just needed a #[deriving(Show)]
* Type parameters needed a Show bound, I often moved this to `assert!(a == b)`
* `Path` doesn't implement `Show`, so assert_eq!() cannot be used on two paths.
I don't think this is much of a regression though because {:?} on paths looks
awful (it's a byte array).
Concretely speaking, this shaved 10K off a 656K binary. Not a lot, but sometime
significant for smaller binaries.
This patch series does a couple things:
* replaces manual `Hash` implementations with `#[deriving(Hash)]`
* adds `Hash` back to `std::prelude`
* minor cleanup of whitespace and variable names.
This commit changes the ToStr trait to:
impl<T: fmt::Show> ToStr for T {
fn to_str(&self) -> ~str { format!("{}", *self) }
}
The ToStr trait has been on the chopping block for quite awhile now, and this is
the final nail in its coffin. The trait and the corresponding method are not
being removed as part of this commit, but rather any implementations of the
`ToStr` trait are being forbidden because of the generic impl. The new way to
get the `to_str()` method to work is to implement `fmt::Show`.
Formatting into a `&mut Writer` (as `format!` does) is much more efficient than
`ToStr` when building up large strings. The `ToStr` trait forces many
intermediate allocations to be made while the `fmt::Show` trait allows
incremental buildup in the same heap allocated buffer. Additionally, the
`fmt::Show` trait is much more extensible in terms of interoperation with other
`Writer` instances and in more situations. By design the `ToStr` trait requires
at least one allocation whereas the `fmt::Show` trait does not require any
allocations.

These two containers are indeed collections, so their place is in
libcollections, not in libstd. There will always be a hash map as part of the
standard distribution of Rust, but by moving it out of the standard library it
makes libstd that much more portable to more platforms and environments.
This conveniently also removes the stuttering of 'std::hashmap::HashMap',
although 'collections::HashMap' is only one character shorter.
