Build instruction profiler runtime as part of compiler-rt
r? @alexcrichton
This is #38608 with some fixes.
Still missing:
- [x] testing with profiler enabled on some builders (on which ones? Should I add the option to some of the already existing configurations, or create a new configuration?);
- [x] enabling distribution (on which builders?);
- [x] documentation.
Add max and min to Ord
Pursuant to issue #25663, this PR adds max and min methods with default implementations to std::cmp::Ord. It also modifies std::cmp::max|min to internally alias to Ord::max|min, so that any overrides of the default implementations are automatically used by std::cmp::max|min.
Closes#25663
The Rustdoc book
A work-in-progress start for docs for rustdoc.
This doesn't actually generate the docs yet; I wanted to open this PR to get feedback on this approach, the chapters headings themselves, and to see if anyone wanted to help fill in the ones that aren't done yet.
Start of #42322.
/cc @rust-lang/dev-tools @rust-lang/docs
Pursuant to issue #25663, this commit adds the max and min functions to the Ord trait, enabling items that implement Ord to use UFCS (ex. 1.max(2)) instead of the longer std::cmp::max(1,2) format.
Add an in-place rotate method for slices to libcore
A helpful primitive for moving chunks of data around inside a slice.
For example, if you have a range selected and are drag-and-dropping it somewhere else (Example from [Sean Parent's talk](https://youtu.be/qH6sSOr-yk8?t=560)).
(If this should be an RFC instead of a PR, please let me know.)
Edit: changed example
Override size_hint and propagate ExactSizeIterator for iter::StepBy
Generally useful, but also a prerequisite for moving a bunch of unit tests off `Range*::step_by`.
A small non-breaking subset of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/42110 (which I closed).
Includes two small documentation changes @ivandardi requested on that PR.

add thiscall calling convention support
This support is needed for bindgen to work well on 32-bit Windows, and also enables people to begin experimenting with C++ FFI support on that platform.
Fixes#42044.
Initial implementation of declarative macros 2.0
Implement declarative macros 2.0 (rust-lang/rfcs#1584) behind `#![feature(decl_macro)]`.
Differences from `macro_rules!` include:
- new syntax: `macro m(..) { .. }` instead of `macro_rules! m { (..) => { .. } }`
- declarative macros are items:
```rust
// crate A:
pub mod foo {
m!(); // use before definition; declaration order is irrelevant
pub macro m() {} // `pub`, `pub(super)`, etc. work
}
fn main() {
foo::m!(); // named like other items
{ use foo::m as n; n!(); } // imported like other items
}
pub use foo::m; // re-exported like other items
// crate B:
extern crate A; // no need for `#[macro_use]`
A::foo::m!(); A::m!();
```
- Racket-like hygiene for items, imports, methods, fields, type parameters, privacy, etc.
- Intuitively, names in a macro definition are resolved in the macro definition's scope, not the scope in which the macro is used.
- This [explaination](http://beautifulracket.com/explainer/hygiene.html) of hygiene for Racket applies here (except for the "Breaking Hygiene" section). I wrote a similar [explanation](https://github.com/jseyfried/rfcs/blob/hygiene/text/0000-hygiene.md) for Rust.
- Generally speaking, if `fn f() { <body> }` resolves, `pub macro m() { <body> } ... m!()` also resolves, even if `m!()` is in a separate crate.
- `::foo::bar` in a `macro` behaves like `$crate::foo::bar` in a `macro_rules!`, except it can access everything visible from the `macro` (thus more permissive).
- See [`src/test/{run-pass, compile-fail}/hygiene`](afe7d89858) for examples. Small example:
```rust
mod foo {
fn f() { println!("hello world"); }
pub macro m() { f(); }
}
fn main() { foo::m!(); }
```
Limitations:
- This does not address planned changes to matchers (`expr`,`ty`, etc.), c.f. #26361.
- Lints (including stability and deprecation) and `unsafe` are not hygienic.
- adding hygiene here will be mostly or entirely backwards compatible
- Nested macro definitions (a `macro` inside another `macro`) don't always work correctly when invoked from external crates.
- pending improvements in how we encode macro definitions in crate metadata
- There is no way to "escape" hygiene without using a procedural macro.
r? @nrc
This support is needed for bindgen to work well on 32-bit Windows, and
also enables people to begin experimenting with C++ FFI support on that
platform.
Fixes#42044.
A helpful primitive for moving chunks of data around inside a slice.
In particular, adding elements to the end of a Vec then moving them
somewhere else, as a way to do efficient multiple-insert. (There's
drain for efficient block-remove, but no easy way to block-insert.)

Document the `proc_macro` feature in the Unstable Book
Discusses the `proc_macro` feature flag and the features it enables:
* Implicit enable of `extern_use_macros` feature and how to import proc macros
* Error handling in proc macros (using panic messages)
* Function-like proc macros using `#[proc_macro]` and a usage example for creating and invoking
* Attribute-like proc macros using `#[proc_macro_attribute]` and a usage example for creating and invoking
