This commit is the standard API stabilization commit for the 1.6 release cycle.
The list of issues and APIs below have all been through their cycle-long FCP and
the libs team decisions are listed below
Stabilized APIs
* `Read::read_exact`
* `ErrorKind::UnexpectedEof` (renamed from `UnexpectedEOF`)
* libcore -- this was a bit of a nuanced stabilization, the crate itself is now
marked as `#[stable]` and the methods appearing via traits for primitives like
`char` and `str` are now also marked as stable. Note that the extension traits
themeselves are marked as unstable as they're imported via the prelude. The
`try!` macro was also moved from the standard library into libcore to have the
same interface. Otherwise the functions all have copied stability from the
standard library now.
* The `#![no_std]` attribute
* `fs::DirBuilder`
* `fs::DirBuilder::new`
* `fs::DirBuilder::recursive`
* `fs::DirBuilder::create`
* `os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt`
* `os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt::mode`
* `vec::Drain`
* `vec::Vec::drain`
* `string::Drain`
* `string::String::drain`
* `vec_deque::Drain`
* `vec_deque::VecDeque::drain`
* `collections::hash_map::Drain`
* `collections::hash_map::HashMap::drain`
* `collections::hash_set::Drain`
* `collections::hash_set::HashSet::drain`
* `collections::binary_heap::Drain`
* `collections::binary_heap::BinaryHeap::drain`
* `Vec::extend_from_slice` (renamed from `push_all`)
* `Mutex::get_mut`
* `Mutex::into_inner`
* `RwLock::get_mut`
* `RwLock::into_inner`
* `Iterator::min_by_key` (renamed from `min_by`)
* `Iterator::max_by_key` (renamed from `max_by`)
Deprecated APIs
* `ErrorKind::UnexpectedEOF` (renamed to `UnexpectedEof`)
* `OsString::from_bytes`
* `OsStr::to_cstring`
* `OsStr::to_bytes`
* `fs::walk_dir` and `fs::WalkDir`
* `path::Components::peek`
* `slice::bytes::MutableByteVector`
* `slice::bytes::copy_memory`
* `Vec::push_all` (renamed to `extend_from_slice`)
* `Duration::span`
* `IpAddr`
* `SocketAddr::ip`
* `Read::tee`
* `io::Tee`
* `Write::broadcast`
* `io::Broadcast`
* `Iterator::min_by` (renamed to `min_by_key`)
* `Iterator::max_by` (renamed to `max_by_key`)
* `net::lookup_addr`
New APIs (still unstable)
* `<[T]>::sort_by_key` (added to mirror `min_by_key`)

this simplifies the code while reducing the size of libcore.rlib by
3.3 MiB (~1M of which is bloat a separate patch of mine removes
too), while reducing rustc memory usage on small crates by 18MiB.
This also simplifies the code considerably.
Combining them seemed like a good idea at the time, but turns out that
handling lifetimes separately makes it somewhat easier to handle cases
where we don't want the intrinsics, and let's you see more easily where
the start/end pairs are.
The functions is useful for all kinds of fat pointers, but get_len()
just feels so wrong for trait object fat pointers. Let's use get_meta()
because that's rather neutral.
This is purposely separate to the "rust-intrinsic" ABI, because these
intrinsics are theoretically going to become stable, and should be fine
to be independent of the compiler/language internals since they're
intimately to the platform.
TyClosure variant; thread this through wherever closure substitutions
are expected, which leads to a net simplification. Simplify trans
treatment of closures in particular.
This commit moves the IR files in the distribution, rust_try.ll,
rust_try_msvc_64.ll, and rust_try_msvc_32.ll into the compiler from the main
distribution. There's a few reasons for this change:
* LLVM changes its IR syntax from time to time, so it's very difficult to
have these files build across many LLVM versions simultaneously. We'll likely
want to retain this ability for quite some time into the future.
* The implementation of these files is closely tied to the compiler and runtime
itself, so it makes sense to fold it into a location which can do more
platform-specific checks for various implementation details (such as MSVC 32
vs 64-bit).
* This removes LLVM as a build-time dependency of the standard library. This may
end up becoming very useful if we move towards building the standard library
with Cargo.
In the immediate future, however, this commit should restore compatibility with
LLVM 3.5 and 3.6.
This first patch starts by moving around pieces of state related to
type checking. The goal is to slowly unify the type checking state
into a single typing context. This initial patch moves the
ParameterEnvironment into the InferCtxt and moves shared tables
from Inherited and ty::ctxt into their own struct Tables. This
is the foundational work to refactoring the type checker to
enable future evolution of the language and tooling.
This has a number of advantages compared to creating a copy in memory
and passing a pointer. The obvious one is that we don't have to put the
data into memory but can keep it in registers. Since we're currently
passing a pointer anyway (instead of using e.g. a known offset on the
stack, which is what the `byval` attribute would achieve), we only use a
single additional register for each fat pointer, but save at least two
pointers worth of stack in exchange (sometimes more because more than
one copy gets eliminated). On archs that pass arguments on the stack, we
save a pointer worth of stack even without considering the omitted
copies.
Additionally, LLVM can optimize the code a lot better, to a large degree
due to the fact that lots of copies are gone or can be optimized away.
Additionally, we can now emit attributes like nonnull on the data and/or
vtable pointers contained in the fat pointer, potentially allowing for
even more optimizations.
This results in LLVM passes being about 3-7% faster (depending on the
crate), and the resulting code is also a few percent smaller, for
example:
text data filename
5671479 3941461 before/librustc-d8ace771.so
5447663 3905745 after/librustc-d8ace771.so
1944425 2394024 before/libstd-d8ace771.so
1896769 2387610 after/libstd-d8ace771.so
I had to remove a call in the backtrace-debuginfo test, because LLVM can
now merge the tails of some blocks when optimizations are turned on,
which can't correctly preserve line info.
Fixes#22924
Cc #22891 (at least for fat pointers the code is good now)
