This is not sufficient for finding the library directory for binary
installs, but it does make the build more complex by requiring
env vars be set to build rustc.
This needs to be removed as part of removing `~[T]`. Partial type hints
are now allowed, and will remove the need to add a version of this
method for `Vec<T>`. For now, this involves a few workarounds for
partial type hints not completely working.
These are superfluous now that we have fixed rvalue lifetimes and Deref.
I'd also like to kill off `get` and `set`, but that'll be a large change so I want to make sure that we actually want to do that first.
This is the first step to replacing OptVec with a new representation:
remove all mutability. Any mutations have to go via `Vec` and then make
to `OptVec`.
Many of the uses of OptVec are unnecessary now that Vec has no-alloc
emptiness (and have been converted to Vec): the only ones that really
need it are the AST and sty's (and so on) where there are a *lot* of
instances of them, and they're (mostly) immutable.
Previously, any library of the pattern `lib<name>-<hash>-<version>.so` was
>considered a candidate (rightly so) for loading a crate. Sets are generated for
each unique `<hash>`, and then from these sets a candidate is selected. If a set
contained more than one element, then it immediately generated an error saying
that multiple copies of the same dylib were found.
This is incorrect because each candidate needs to be validated to actually
contain a rust library (valid metadata). This commit alters the logic to filter
each set of candidates for a hash to only libraries which are actually rust
libraries. This means that if multiple false positives are found with the right
name pattern, they're all ignored.
Closes#13010
`Share` implies that all *reachable* content is *threadsafe*.
Threadsafe is defined as "exposing no operation that permits a data race if multiple threads have access to a &T pointer simultaneously". (NB: the type system should guarantee that if you have access to memory via a &T pointer, the only other way to gain access to that memory is through another &T pointer)...

What this PR will do
================
- [x] Add Share kind and
- [x] Replace usages of Freeze with Share in bounds.
- [x] Add Unsafe<T> #12577
- [x] Forbid taking the address of a immutable static item with `Unsafe<T>` interior
What's left to do in a separate PR (after the snapshot)?
===========================================
- Remove `Freeze` completely

This reduces the size of sty from 112 to 96; like with the ty_trait
variant, this variant of sty occurs rarely (~1%) so the benefits are
large and the costs small.
This reduces ty::sty from 160 bytes to just 112, and some measurements
eddyb made suggest that the ty_trait variant occurs very
rarely (e.g. ~1% of all sty instances) hence this will result in a large
memory saving, and the cost of the indirection is unlikely to be an
issue.
This commit switches over the backtrace infrastructure from piggy-backing off
the RUST_LOG environment variable to using the RUST_BACKTRACE environment
variable (logging is now disabled in libstd).
This commit starts to topographically sort rust dependencies on the linker
command line. The reason for this is that linkers use right-hand libraries to
resolve left-hand libraries symbols, which is especially crucial for us because
we're using --as-needed on linux.
This commit shreds all remnants of libextra from the compiler and standard
distribution. Two modules, c_vec/tempfile, were moved into libstd after some
cleanup, and the other modules were moved to separate crates as seen fit.

Refactored get_metadata_section to return a Result<MetadataBlob,~str> instead of a Option<MetadataBlob>. This provides more clarity to the user through the debug output when using --ls.
This is kind of a continuation of my original closed pull request 2 months ago (#11544), but I think the time-span constitutes a new pull request.
This leverages the new hashing framework and hashmap implementation to provide a
much speedier hashing algorithm for node ids and def ids. The hash algorithm
used is currentl FNV hashing, but it's quite easy to swap out.
I originally implemented hashing as the identity function, but this actually
ended up in slowing down rustc compiling libstd from 8s to 13s. I would suspect
that this is a result of a large number of collisions.
With FNV hashing, we get these timings (compiling with --no-trans, in seconds):
| | before | after |
|-----------|---------:|--------:|
| libstd | 8.324 | 6.703 |
| stdtest | 47.674 | 46.857 |
| libsyntax | 9.918 | 8.400 |
Linker argument order with respect to libraries is important enough that we
shouldn't be attempting to filter out libraries getting passed through to the
linker. When linking with a native library that has multiple dependant native
libraries, it's useful to have control over the link argument order.
When the metadata format changes, old libraries often cause librustc to abort
when reading their metadata. This should all change with the introduction of SVH
markers, but the loader for crates should gracefully handle libraries without
SVH markers still.
This commit adds support for tripping fewer assertions when loading libraries by
using maybe_get_doc when initially parsing metadata. It's still possible for
some libraries to fall through the cracks, but this should deal with a fairly
large number of them up front.
This new SVH is used to uniquely identify all crates as a snapshot in time of
their ABI/API/publicly reachable state. This current calculation is just a hash
of the entire crate's AST. This is obviously incorrect, but it is currently the
reality for today.
This change threads through the new Svh structure which originates from crate
dependencies. The concept of crate id hash is preserved to provide efficient
matching on filenames for crate loading. The inspected hash once crate metadata
is opened has been changed to use the new Svh.
The goal of this hash is to identify when upstream crates have changed but
downstream crates have not been recompiled. This will prevent the def-id drift
problem where upstream crates were recompiled, thereby changing their metadata,
but downstream crates were not recompiled.
In the future this hash can be expanded to exclude contents of the AST like doc
comments, but limitations in the compiler prevent this change from being made at
this time.
Closes#10207
The previous code passed around a {name,version} pair everywhere, but this is
better expressed as a CrateId. This patch changes these paths to store and pass
around crate ids instead of these pairs of name/version. This also prepares the
code to change the type of hash that is stored in crates.
This commit implements a layman's version of realpath() for metadata::loader to
use in order to not error on symlinks pointing to the same file.
Closes#12459
Commits for details. Highlights:
- `flate` returns `CVec<u8>` to save reallocating a whole new `&[u8]`
- a lot of `transmute`s removed outright or replaced with `as` (etc.)
This trades an O(n) allocation + memcpy for a O(1) proc allocation (for
the destructor). Most users only need &[u8] anyway (all of the users in
the main repo), and so this offers large gains.
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.
