This is a [breaking-change]. The new rules require that, for an impl of a trait defined
in some other crate, two conditions must hold:
1. Some type must be local.
2. Every type parameter must appear "under" some local type.
Here are some examples that are legal:
```rust
struct MyStruct<T> { ... }
// Here `T` appears "under' `MyStruct`.
impl<T> Clone for MyStruct<T> { }
// Here `T` appears "under' `MyStruct` as well. Note that it also appears
// elsewhere.
impl<T> Iterator<T> for MyStruct<T> { }
```
Here is an illegal example:
```rust
// Here `U` does not appear "under" `MyStruct` or any other local type.
// We call `U` "uncovered".
impl<T,U> Iterator<U> for MyStruct<T> { }
```
There are a couple of ways to rewrite this last example so that it is
legal:
1. In some cases, the uncovered type parameter (here, `U`) should be converted
into an associated type. This is however a non-local change that requires access
to the original trait. Also, associated types are not fully baked.
2. Add `U` as a type parameter of `MyStruct`:
```rust
struct MyStruct<T,U> { ... }
impl<T,U> Iterator<U> for MyStruct<T,U> { }
```
3. Create a newtype wrapper for `U`
```rust
impl<T,U> Iterator<Wrapper<U>> for MyStruct<T,U> { }
```
Because associated types are not fully baked, which in the case of the
`Hash` trait makes adhering to this rule impossible, you can
temporarily disable this rule in your crate by using
`#![feature(old_orphan_check)]`. Note that the `old_orphan_check`
feature will be removed before 1.0 is released.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 526][rfc] which is a change to alter
the definition of the old `fmt::FormatWriter`. The new trait, renamed to
`Writer`, now only exposes one method `write_str` in order to guarantee that all
implementations of the formatting traits can only produce valid Unicode.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0526-fmt-text-writer.md
One of the primary improvements of this patch is the performance of the
`.to_string()` method by avoiding an almost-always redundant UTF-8 check. This
is a breaking change due to the renaming of the trait as well as the loss of the
`write` method, but migration paths should be relatively easy:
* All usage of `write` should move to `write_str`. If truly binary data was
being written in an implementation of `Show`, then it will need to use a
different trait or an altogether different code path.
* All usage of `write!` should continue to work as-is with no modifications.
* All usage of `Show` where implementations just delegate to another should
continue to work as-is.

Rename `FPCategory` to `FpCategory` and `Fp* to `*` in order to adhere to the
naming convention
This is a [breaking-change].
Existing code like this:
```
use std::num::{FPCategory, FPNaN};
```
should be adjusted to this:
```
use std::num::FpCategory as Fp
```
In the following code you can use the constants `Fp::Nan`, `Fp::Normal`, etc.
This commit completes the deprecation story for the in-tree serialization
library. The compiler will now emit a warning whenever it encounters
`deriving(Encodable)` or `deriving(Decodable)`, and the library itself is now
marked `#[unstable]` for when feature staging is enabled.
All users of serialization can migrate to the `rustc-serialize` crate on
crates.io which provides the exact same interface as the libserialize library
in-tree. The new deriving modes are named `RustcEncodable` and `RustcDecodable`
and require `extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize` at the crate
root in order to expand correctly.
To migrate all crates, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
[dependencies]
rustc-serialize = "0.1.1"
And then add the following to your crate root:
extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize;
Finally, rename `Encodable` and `Decodable` deriving modes to `RustcEncodable`
and `RustcDecodable`.

This brings over some changes from [rustc-serialize](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-serialize). It makes sense to keep the two in sync until we finally remove libserialize, just to make sure they don't diverge from each other.
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")
}

Relax some of the bounds on the decoder methods back to FnMut to help accomodate
some more flavorful variants of decoders which may need to run the closure more
than once when it, for example, attempts to find the first successful enum to
decode.

This a breaking change due to the bounds for the trait switching, and clients
will need to update from `FnOnce` to `FnMut` as well as likely making the local
function binding mutable in order to call the function.

It is useful to have configurable newlines in base64 as the standard
leaves that for the implementation to decide. GNU `base64` apparently
uses LF, which meant in `uutils` we had to manually convert the CRLF to
LF. This made the program very slow for large inputs.

This pull request tries to improve type safety of `serialize::json::Encoder`.
Looking at #18319, I decided to test some JSON implementations in other languages. The results are as follows:
* Encoding to JSON
| Language | 111111111111111111 | 1.0 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| JavaScript™ | "111111111111111100" | "1" |
| Python | "111111111111111111" | **"1.0"** |
| Go | "111111111111111111" | "1" |
| Haskell | "111111111111111111" | "1" |
| Rust | **"111111111111111104"** | "1" |
* Decoding from JSON
| Language | "1" | "1.0" | "1.6" |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| JavaScript™ | 1 (Number) | 1 (Number) | 1.6 (Number) |
| Python | 1 (int) | 1.0 (float) | 1.6 (float) |
| Go | **1 (float64)** | 1 (float64) | 1.6 (float64) |
| Go (expecting `int`) | 1 (int) | **error** | error |
| Haskell (with `:: Int`) | 1 (Int) | 1 (Int) | **2 (Int)** |
| Haskell (with `:: Double`) | 1.0 (Double) | 1.0 (Double) | 1.6 (Double) |
| Rust (with `::<int>`) | 1 (int) | 1 (Int) | **1 (Int)** |
| Rust (with `::<f64>`) | 1 (f64) | 1 (f64) | 1.6 (f64) |
* The tests on Haskell were done using the [json](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/json) package.
* The error message printed by Go was: `cannot unmarshal number 1.0 into Go value of type int`
As you see, there is no uniform behavior. Every implementation follows its own principle. So I think it is reasonable to find a desirable set of behaviors for Rust.
Firstly, every implementation except the one for JavaScript is capable of handling `i64` values. It is even practical, because [Twitter API uses an i64 number to represent a tweet ID](https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/twitter-ids-json-and-snowflake), although it is recommended to use the string version of the ID.
Secondly, looking into the Go's behavior, implicit type conversion is not allowed in their decoder. If the user expects an integer value to follow, decoding a float value will raise an error. This behavior is desirable in Rust, because we are pleased to follow the principles of strong typing.
Thirdly, Python's JSON module forces a decimal point to be printed even if the fractional part does not exist. This eases the distinction of a float value from an integer value in JSON, because by the spec there is only one type to represent numbers, `Number`.
So, I suggest the following three breaking changes:
1. Remove float preprocessing in serialize::json::Encoder
`serialize::json::Encoder` currently uses `f64` to emit any integral type. This is possibly due to the behavior of JavaScript, which uses `f64` to represent any numeric value.
This leads to a problem that only the integers in the range of [-2^53+1, 2^53-1] can be encoded. Therefore, `i64` and `u64` cannot be used reliably in the current implementation.
[RFC 7159](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159) suggests that good interoperability can be achieved if the range is respected by implementations. However, it also says that implementations are allowed to set the range of number accepted. And it seems that the JSON encoders outside of the JavaScript world usually make use of `i64` values.
This commit removes the float preprocessing done in the `emit_*` methods. It also increases performance, because transforming `f64` into String costs more than that of an integral type.
Fixes#18319
2. Do not coerce to integer when decoding a float value
When an integral value is expected by the user but a fractional value is found, the current implementation uses `std::num::cast()` to coerce to an integer type, losing the fractional part. This behavior is not desirable because the number loses precision without notice.
This commit makes it raise `ExpectedError` when such a situation arises.
3. Always use a decimal point when emitting a float value
JSON doesn't distinguish between integer and float. They are just numbers. Also, in the current implementation, a fractional number without the fractional part is encoded without a decimal point.
Thereforce, when the value is decoded, it is first rendered as `Json`, either `I64` or `U64`. This reduces type safety, because while the original intention was to cast the value to float, it can also be casted to integer.
As a workaround of this problem, this commit makes the encoder always emit a decimal point even if it is not necessary. If the fractional part of a float number is zero, ".0" is padded to the end of the result.
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);
}
