`Times::times` was always a second-class loop because it did not support the `break` and `continue` operations. Its playful appeal (which I liked) was then lost after `do` was disabled for closures. It's time to let this one go.

The implementation has been made more succinct and no longer requires Clone. The coverage of the associated unit test has also been increased to check more combinations of bases, exponents, and expected results.
There was an old and barely used implementation of pow, which expected
both parameters to be uint and required more traits to be implemented.
Since a new implementation for `pow` landed, I'm proposing to remove
this old impl in favor of the new one.
The benchmark shows that the new implementation is faster than the one
being removed:
test num::bench::bench_pow_function ..bench: 9429 ns/iter (+/- 2055)
test num::bench::bench_pow_with_uint_function ...bench: 28476 ns/iter (+/- 2202)
As part of #10387, this removes the `Primitive::{bits, bytes, is_signed}` methods and removes the trait's operator trait constraints for the reasons outlined below:
- The `Primitive::{bits, bytes}` associated functions were originally added to reflect the existing `BITS` and `BYTES`statics included in the numeric modules. These statics are only exist as a workaround for Rust's lack of CTFE, and should be deprecated in the future in favor of using the `std::mem::size_of` function (see #11621).
- `Primitive::is_signed` seems to be of little utility and does not seem to be used anywhere in the Rust compiler or libraries. It is also rather ugly to call due to the `Option<Self>` workaround for #8888.
- The operator trait constraints are already covered by the `Num` trait.

The patch adds a `pow` function for types implementing `One`, `Mul` and
`Clone` trait.
The patch also renames f32 and f64 pow into powf in order to still have
a way to easily have float powers. It uses llvms intrinsics.
The pow implementation for all num types uses the exponentiation by
square.
Fixes bug #11499
These functions are of little utility outside a small subset of use cases. If people need them for their own projects then they can use their own bindings for libm (which aren't hard to make).
The methods contained in `std::num::{Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential, Hyperbolic}` have now been moved into `std::num::Real`. This is part of an ongoing effort to simplify `std::num` (see issue #10387).
`std::num::RealExt` has also been removed from the prelude because it is not a commonly used trait.

This commit uniforms the short title of modules provided by libstd,
in order to make their roles more explicit when glancing at the index.

The `integer_decode()` function decodes a float (f32/f64)
into integers containing the mantissa, exponent and sign.
It's needed for `rationalize()` implementation of #9838.
The code got ported from ABCL [1].
[1] http://abcl.org/trac/browser/trunk/abcl/src/org/armedbear/lisp/FloatFunctions.java?rev=14465#L94
I got the permission to use this code for Rust from Peter Graves (the ABCL copyright holder) . If there's any further IP clearance needed, let me know.
This function had type &[u8] -> ~str, i.e. it allocates a string
internally, even though the non-allocating version that take &[u8] ->
&str and ~[u8] -> ~str are all that is necessary in most circumstances.
These two attributes are no longer useful now that Rust has decided to leave
segmented stacks behind. It is assumed that the rust task's stack is always
large enough to make an FFI call (due to the stack being very large).
There's always the case of stack overflow, however, to consider. This does not
change the behavior of stack overflow in Rust. This is still normally triggered
by the __morestack function and aborts the whole process.
C stack overflow will continue to corrupt the stack, however (as it did before
this commit as well). The future improvement of a guard page at the end of every
rust stack is still unimplemented and is intended to be the mechanism through
which we attempt to detect C stack overflow.

New standards have arisen in recent months, mostly for the use of
rustpkg, but the main Rust codebase has not been altered to match these
new specifications. This changeset rectifies most of these issues.
- Renamed the crate source files `src/libX/X.rs` to `lib.rs`, for
consistency with current styles; this affects extra, rustc, rustdoc,
rustpkg, rustuv, std, syntax.
- Renamed `X/X.rs` to `X/mod.rs,` as is now recommended style, for
`std::num` and `std::terminfo`.
- Shifted `src/libstd/str/ascii.rs` out of the otherwise unused `str`
directory, to be consistent with its import path of `std::ascii`;
libstd is flat at present so it's more appropriate thus.
While this removes some `#[path = "..."]` directives, it does not remove
all of them, and leaves certain other inconsistencies, such as `std::u8`
et al. which are actually stored in `src/libstd/num/` (one subdirectory
down). No quorum has been reached on this issue, so I felt it best to
leave them all alone at present. #9208 deals with the possibility of
making libstd more hierarchical (such as changing the crate to match the
current filesystem structure, which would make the module path
`std::num::u8`).
There is one thing remaining in which this repository is not
rustpkg-compliant: rustpkg would have `src/std/` et al. rather than
`src/libstd/` et al. I have not endeavoured to change that at this point
as it would guarantee prompt bitrot and confusion. A change of that
magnitude needs to be discussed first.
Allows an enum with a discriminant to use any of the primitive integer types to store it. By default the smallest usable type is chosen, but this can be overridden with an attribute: `#[repr(int)]` etc., or `#[repr(C)]` to match the target's C ABI for the equivalent C enum.
Also adds a lint pass for using non-FFI safe enums in extern declarations, checks that specified discriminants can be stored in the specified type if any, and fixes assorted code that was assuming int.
Otherwise, run-pass/deriving-primitive.rs breaks on 32-bit platforms,
because `int::min_value` is `0xffffffff7fffffff` when evaluated for the
discriminant declaration.
This commit fixes all of the fallout of the previous commit which is an attempt
to refine privacy. There were a few unfortunate leaks which now must be plugged,
and the most horrible one is the current `shouldnt_be_public` module now inside
`std::rt`. I think that this either needs a slight reorganization of the
runtime, or otherwise it needs to just wait for the external users of these
modules to get replaced with their `rt` implementations.
Other fixes involve making things pub which should be pub, and otherwise
updating error messages that now reference privacy instead of referencing an
"unresolved name" (yay!).
One downside with this current implementation is that since BigInt's
default is now 64 bit, we can convert larger BigInt's to a primitive,
however the current implementation on 32 bit architectures does not
take advantage of this fact.
It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.

Also, documentation & general clean-up:
- remove `gen_char_from`: better served by `sample` or `choose`.
- `gen_bytes` generalised to `gen_vec`.
- `gen_int_range`/`gen_uint_range` merged into `gen_integer_range` and
made to be properly uniformly distributed. Fixes#8644.
Minor adjustments to other functions.
This large commit implements and `html` output option for rustdoc_ng. The
executable has been altered to be invoked as "rustdoc_ng html <crate>" and
it will dump everything into the local "doc" directory. JSON can still be
generated by changing 'html' to 'json'.
This also fixes a number of bugs in rustdoc_ng relating to comment stripping,
along with some other various issues that I found along the way.
The `make doc` command has been altered to generate the new documentation into
the `doc/ng/$(CRATE)` directories.
This is for consistency in naming conventions.
- ``std::num::Float::NaN()`` is changed to ``nan()``;
- ``std::num::Float.is_NaN()`` is changed to ``is_nan()``; and
- ``std::num::strconv::NumStrConv::NaN()`` is changed to ``nan()``.
Fixes#9319.
This is my first contribution, so please point out anything that I may have missed.
I consulted IRC and settled on `match () { ... }` for most of the replacements.
Like issue #9209, remove float::{from_str, from_str_radix} in favor of
the two corresponding traits. The same for modules f64 and f32.
New usage is
from_str::<float>("1.2e34")
Remove these in favor of the two traits themselves and the wrapper
function std::from_str::from_str.
Add the function std::num::from_str_radix in the corresponding role for
the FromStrRadix trait.
