Specifically, the following actions were taken:
* The `copy_memory` and `copy_nonoverlapping_memory` functions
to drop the `_memory` suffix (as it's implied by the functionality). Both
functions are now marked as `#[stable]`.
* The `set_memory` function was renamed to `write_bytes` and is now stable.
* The `zero_memory` function is now deprecated in favor of `write_bytes`
directly.
* The `Unique` pointer type is now behind its own feature gate called `unique`
to facilitate future stabilization.
* All type parameters now are `T: ?Sized` wherever possible and new clauses were
added to the `offset` functions to require that the type is sized.
[breaking-change]
Port `core::ptr::Unique` to have `PhantomData`. Add `PhantomData` to
`TypedArena` and `Vec` as well.
As a drive-by, switch `ptr::Unique` from a tuple-struct to a struct
with fields.
This gets rid of the 'experimental' level, removes the non-staged_api
case (i.e. stability levels for out-of-tree crates), and lets the
staged_api attributes use 'unstable' and 'deprecated' lints.
This makes the transition period to the full feature staging design
a bit nicer.
This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
This patch marks `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, and `Ord` as
`#[stable]`, as well as the majorify of manual implementaitons of these
traits. The traits match the [reform
RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/439).
Along the way, two changes are made:
* The recently-added type parameters for `Ord` and `Eq` are
removed. These were mistakenly added while adding them to `PartialOrd`
and `PartialEq`, but they don't make sense given the laws that are
required for (and use cases for) `Ord` and `Eq`.
* More explicit laws are added for `PartialEq` and `PartialOrd`,
connecting them to their associated mathematical concepts.
In the future, many of the impls should be generalized; see
since generalizing later is not a breaking change.

This commit performs a second pass for stabilization over the `std::ptr` module.
The specific actions taken were:
* The `RawPtr` trait was renamed to `PtrExt`
* The `RawMutPtr` trait was renamed to `MutPtrExt`
* The module name `ptr` is now stable.
* These functions were all marked `#[stable]` with no modification:
* `null`
* `null_mut`
* `swap`
* `replace`
* `read`
* `write`
* `PtrExt::is_null`
* `PtrExt::offset`
* These functions remain unstable:
* `as_ref`, `as_mut` - the return value of an `Option` is not fully expressive
as null isn't the only bad value, and it's unclear
whether we want to commit to these functions at this
time. The reference/lifetime semantics as written are
also problematic in how they encourage arbitrary
lifetimes.
* `zero_memory` - This function is currently not used at all in the
distribution, and in general it plays a broader role in the
"working with unsafe pointers" story. This story is not yet
fully developed, so at this time the function remains
unstable for now.
* `read_and_zero` - This function remains unstable for largely the same
reasons as `zero_memory`.
* These functions are now all deprecated:
* `PtrExt::null` - call `ptr::null` or `ptr::null_mut` instead.
* `PtrExt::to_uint` - use an `as` expression instead.
* `PtrExt::is_not_null` - use `!p.is_null()` instead.
This patch marks `clone` stable, as well as the `Clone` trait, but
leaves `clone_from` unstable. The latter will be decided by the beta.
The patch also marks most manual implementations of `Clone` as stable,
except where the APIs are otherwise deprecated or where there is
uncertainty about providing `Clone`.

followed by a semicolon.
This allows code like `vec![1i, 2, 3].len();` to work.
This breaks code that uses macros as statements without putting
semicolons after them, such as:
fn main() {
...
assert!(a == b)
assert!(c == d)
println(...);
}
It also breaks code that uses macros as items without semicolons:
local_data_key!(foo)
fn main() {
println("hello world")
}
Add semicolons to fix this code. Those two examples can be fixed as
follows:
fn main() {
...
assert!(a == b);
assert!(c == d);
println(...);
}
local_data_key!(foo);
fn main() {
println("hello world")
}

This change makes the compiler no longer infer whether types (structures
and enumerations) implement the `Copy` trait (and thus are implicitly
copyable). Rather, you must implement `Copy` yourself via `impl Copy for
MyType {}`.
A new warning has been added, `missing_copy_implementations`, to warn
you if a non-generic public type has been added that could have
implemented `Copy` but didn't.
For convenience, you may *temporarily* opt out of this behavior by using
`#![feature(opt_out_copy)]`. Note though that this feature gate will never be
accepted and will be removed by the time that 1.0 is released, so you should
transition your code away from using it.
This breaks code like:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
Change this code to:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
impl Copy for Point2D {}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
This is the backwards-incompatible part of #13231.
Part of RFC #3.

This commit:
* Changes the #deriving code so that it generates code that utilizes fewer
reexports (in particur Option::* and Result::*), which is necessary to
remove those reexports in the future
* Changes other areas of the codebase so that fewer reexports are utilized

The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.
