fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
Every unresolved import is reported. An additional error message isn't useful
and obscures (imo) the real errors: I need to take it into account when
looking at the error count.
Closes#6183.
The first commit changes the compiler's method of treating a `for` loop, and all the remaining commits are just dealing with the fallout.
The biggest fallout was the `IterBytes` trait, although it's really a whole lot nicer now because all of the `iter_bytes_XX` methods are just and-ed together. Sadly there was a huge amount of stuff that's `cfg(stage0)` gated, but whoever lands the next snapshot is going to have a lot of fun deleting all this code!
&str can be turned into @~str on demand, using to_owned(), so for
strings, we can create a specialized interner that accepts &str for
intern() and find() but stores and returns @~str.
This improves error reporting for the following class of imports:
```rust
use foo::bar;
```
Where foo, the topmost module, is unresolved. It now results in:
```text
/tmp/foo.rs:1:4: 1:7 error: unresolved import. perhapsyou forgot an 'extern mod foo'?
/tmp/foo.rs:1 use foo::bar;
^~~
/tmp/foo.rs:1:4: 1:12 error: failed to resolve import: foo::bar
/tmp/foo.rs:1 use foo::bar;
^~~~~~~~
error: failed to resolve imports
error: aborting due to 3 previous errors
```
This is the first of a series of changes I plan on making to unresolved name error messages.

This pulls all the logic for discovering the crate entry point into a new pass (out of resolve and typeck), then changes it so that main is only looked for at the crate level (`#[main]` can still be used anywhere).
I don't understand the special android logic here and worry that I may have broken it.
The drop block has been deprecated for quite some time. This patch series removes support for parsing it and all the related machinery that made drop work.
As a side feature of all this, I also added the ability to annote fields in structs. This allows comments to be properly associated with an individual field. However, I didn't update `rustdoc` to integrate these comment blocks into the documentation it generates.
I didn't know how to use "use" initially, and an error message like this would
have solved quite a bit of frustration. I think this properly handles cases
where it's not appropriate but I'm not sure.
Closes#3083.
This takes a similar approach to #5797 where a set is present on the `tcx` of used mutable definitions. Everything is by default warned about, and analyses must explicitly add mutable definitions to this set so they're not warned about.
Most of this was pretty straightforward, although there was one caveat that I ran into when implementing it. Apparently when the old modes are used (or maybe `legacy_modes`, I'm not sure) some different code paths are taken to cause spurious warnings to be issued which shouldn't be issued. I'm not really sure how modes even worked, so I was having a lot of trouble tracking this down. I figured that because they're a legacy thing that I'd just de-mode the compiler so that the warnings wouldn't be a problem anymore (or at least for the compiler).
Other than that, the entire compiler compiles without warnings of unused mutable variables. To prevent bad warnings, #5965 should be landed (which in turn is waiting on #5963) before landing this. I figured I'd stick it out for review anyway though.
This implements #5158. Currently it takes the command line args and the crate map. Since it doesn't take a `main` function pointer, you can't actually start the runtime easily, but that seems to be a shim to allow the current `rust_start` function to call into main.
However, you can do an end-run round the io library and do this:
```rust
use core::libc::{write, c_int, c_void, size_t, STDOUT_FILENO};
#[start]
fn my_start(_argc:int, _argv: **u8, _crate_map: *u8) -> int {
do str::as_buf("Hello World!\n") |s,len| {
unsafe {
write(STDOUT_FILENO, s as *c_void, len as size_t);
}
}
return 0;
}
```
Which is the most basic "Hello World" you can do in rust without starting up the runtime (though that has quite a lot to do with the fact that `core::io` uses `@` everywhere...)
There's no unifying theme here; I'm just trying to clear a bunch of small commits: removing dead code, adding comments, renaming to an upper-case type, fixing one test case.
