This is a continuation of @brson's work from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/12144.
This implements the minimal scaffolding that allows mapping diagnostic messages to alpha-numeric codes, which could improve the searchability of errors. In addition, there's a new compiler option, `--explain {code}` which takes an error code and prints out a somewhat detailed explanation of the error. Example:
```rust
fn f(x: Option<bool>) {
match x {
Some(true) | Some(false) => (),
None => (),
Some(true) => ()
}
}
```
```shell
[~/rust]$ ./build/x86_64-apple-darwin/stage2/bin/rustc ./diagnostics.rs --crate-type dylib
diagnostics.rs:5:3: 5:13 error: unreachable pattern [E0001] (pass `--explain E0001` to see a detailed explanation)
diagnostics.rs:5 Some(true) => ()
^~~~~~~~~~
error: aborting due to previous error
[~/rust]$ ./build/x86_64-apple-darwin/stage2/bin/rustc --explain E0001
This error suggests that the expression arm corresponding to the noted pattern
will never be reached as for all possible values of the expression being matched,
one of the preceeding patterns will match.
This means that perhaps some of the preceeding patterns are too general, this
one is too specific or the ordering is incorrect.
```
I've refrained from migrating many errors to actually use the new macros as it can be done in an incremental fashion but if we're happy with the approach, it'd be good to do all of them sooner rather than later.
Originally, I was going to make libdiagnostics a separate crate but that's posing some interesting challenges with semi-circular dependencies. In particular, librustc would have a plugin-phase dependency on libdiagnostics, which itself depends on librustc. Per my conversation with @alexcrichton, it seems like the snapshotting process would also have to change. So for now the relevant modules from libdiagnostics are included using `#[path = ...] mod`.
This removes a bunch of token types. Tokens now store the original, unaltered
numeric literal (that is still checked for correctness), which is parsed into
an actual number later, as needed, when creating the AST.
This can change how syntax extensions work, but otherwise poses no visible
changes.

formerly, the self identifier was being discarded during parsing, which
stymies hygiene. The best fix here seems to be to attach a self identifier
to ExplicitSelf_, a change that rippled through the rest of the compiler,
but without any obvious damage.
This updates https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15075.
Rename `ToStr::to_str` to `ToString::to_string`. The naive renaming ends up with two `to_string` functions defined on strings in the prelude (the other defined via `collections::str::StrAllocating`). To remedy this I removed `StrAllocating::to_string`, making all conversions from `&str` to `String` go through `Show`. This has a measurable impact on the speed of this conversion, but the sense I get from others is that it's best to go ahead and unify `to_string` and address performance for all `to_string` conversions in `core::fmt`. `String::from_str(...)` still works as a manual fast-path.
Note that the patch was done with a script, and ended up renaming a number of other `*_to_str` functions, particularly inside of rustc. All the ones I saw looked correct, and I didn't notice any additional API breakage.
Closes#15046.

[breaking-change] Use `Sized?` to indicate a dynamically sized type parameter or trait (used to be `type`). E.g.,
```
trait Tr for Sized? {}
fn foo<Sized? X: Share>(x: X) {}
```
This will break code that looks like:
struct Foo {
...
}
mod Foo {
...
}
Change this code to:
struct Foo {
...
}
impl Foo {
...
}
Or rename the module.

Extend the null ptr optimization to work with slices, closures, procs, & trait objects by using the internal pointers as the discriminant.
This decreases the size of `Option<&[int]>` (and similar) by one word.
This will break code that used the old `Index` trait. Change this code
to use the new `Index` traits. For reference, here are their signatures:
pub trait Index<Index,Result> {
fn index<'a>(&'a self, index: &Index) -> &'a Result;
}
pub trait IndexMut<Index,Result> {
fn index_mut<'a>(&'a mut self, index: &Index) -> &'a mut Result;
}
Closes#6515.

LLVM doesn't handle i1 value in allocas/memory very well and skips a number of optimizations if it hits it. So we have to do the same thing that Clang does, using i1 for SSA values, but storing i8 in memory.
Fixes#15203.
LLVM doesn't really like types with a bit-width that isn't a multiple of
8 and disable various optimizations if it encounters such types used
with loads/stores. OTOH, booleans must be represented as i1 when used as
SSA values. To get the best results, we must use i1 for SSA values, and
i8 when storing the value to memory.
By using range asserts on loads, LLVM can eliminate the required
zero-extend and truncate operations.
Fixes#15203
This is an implementation of [RFC 35](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/active/0035-remove-crate-id.md).
The summary for this PR is the same as that of the RFC, with one addendum:
* Removes the `#[crate_id]` attribute and knowledge of versions from rustc.
* Added a `#[crate_name]` attribute similar to the old `#[crate_id]` attribute
* Output filenames no longer have versions or hashes
* Symbols no longer have versions (they still have hashes)
* A new flag, `--extern`, is used to override searching for external crates
* A new flag, `-C metadata=foo`, used when hashing symbols
* [added] An old flag, `--crate-name`, was re purposed to specify the crate name from the command line.
I tried to maintain backwards compatibility wherever possible (with warnings being printed). If I missed anywhere, however, please let me know!

This comit implements a new flag, --extern, which is used to specify where a
crate is located. The purpose of this flag is to bypass the normal crate
loading/matching of the compiler to point it directly at the right file.
This flag takes the form `--extern foo=bar` where `foo` is the name of a crate
and `bar` is the location at which to find the crate. Multiple `--extern`
directives are allowed with the same crate name to specify the rlib/dylib pair
for a crate. It is invalid to specify more than one rlib or more than one dylib,
and it's required that the crates are valid rust crates.
I have also added some extensive documentation to metadata::loader about how
crate loading should work.
RFC: 0035-remove-crate-id
This commit removes all support in the compiler for the #[crate_id] attribute
and all of its derivative infrastructure. A list of the functionality removed is:
* The #[crate_id] attribute no longer exists
* There is no longer the concept of a version of a crate
* Version numbers are no longer appended to symbol names
* The --crate-id command line option has been removed
To migrate forward, rename #[crate_id] to #[crate_name] and only the name of the
crate itself should be mentioned. The version/path of the old crate id should be
removed.
For a transitionary state, the #[crate_id] attribute is still accepted if
the #[crate_name] is not present, but it is warned about if it is the only
identifier present.

In my informal measurements, this brings the peak memory usage when
building librustc from 1662M down to 1502M. Since 1662 - 1502 = 160,
this may not recover the entirety of the observed memory regression
(250M) from PR #14604. (However, according to my local measurements,
the regression when building librustc was more like 209M, so perhaps
this will still recover the lions share of the lost memory.)

This basically meant changing the interface so that no borrowed `&Vec`
is exposed, by hiding `fn get_vec` and `fn get_mut_vec` and revising
`fn all_vecs`.
Instead, clients should use one of the other methods; `get_slice`,
`pop`, `truncate`, `replace`, `push_all`, or `is_empty_in`, which
should work for any case currently used in rustc.
This pull request adds hygiene for 3 kinds of argument bindings:
- arguments to item fns,
- arguments to `ExprFnBlock`s, and
- arguments to `ExprProc`s
It also adds a bunch of unit tests, fixes a few macro uses to be non-capturing, and has a few cleanup items.
local `make check` succeeds.
