At the moment, writing generic functions for integer types that involve shifting is rather verbose. For example, a function at shifts an integer left by 1 currently requires
use std::num::One;
fn f<T: Int>(x : T) -> T {
x << One::one()
}
If the shift amount is not 1, it's even worse:
use std::num::FromPrimitive;
fn f<T: Int + FromPrimitive>(x: T) -> T {
x << FromPrimitive::from_int(2).unwrap()
}
This patch allows the much simpler implementation
fn f<T: Int>(x: T) -> T {
x << 2
}
It accomplishes this by changing the built-in integer types (and the `Int` trait) to implement `Shl<uint, T>` instead of `Shl<T, T>` as it currently is defined. Note that the internal implementations of `shl` already cast the right-hand side to `uint`. `BigInt` also implements `Shl<uint, BigInt>`, so this increases consistency.
All of the above applies similarly to right shifts, i.e., `Shr<uint, T>`.
Libcore's test infrastructure is complicated by the fact that many lang
items are defined in the crate. The current approach (realcore/realstd
imports) is hacky and hard to work with (tests inside of core::cmp
haven't been run for months!).
Moving tests to a separate crate does mean that they can only test the
public API of libcore, but I don't feel that that is too much of an
issue. The only tests that I had to get rid of were some checking the
various numeric formatters, but those are also exercised through normal
format! calls in other tests.
The following are unstable:
- core::int, i8, i16, i32, i64
- core::uint, u8, u16, u32, u64
- core::int::{BITS, BYTES, MIN, MAX}, etc.
- std::int, i8, i16, i32, i64
- std::uint, u8, u16, u32, u64
The following are experimental:
- std::from_str::FromStr and impls - may need to return Result instead of Option
- std::int::parse_bytes, etc. - ditto
- std::num::FromStrRadix and impls - ditto
- std::num::from_str_radix - ditto
The following are deprecated:
- std::num::ToStrRadix and imples - Wrapper around fmt::radix. Wrong name (Str vs String)

This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

Now that rustdoc understands proper language tags
as the code not being Rust, we can tag everything
properly.
This change tags examples in other languages by
their language. Plain notations are marked as `text`.
Console examples are marked as `console`.
Also fix markdown.rs to not highlight non-rust code.
This commit adds support in rustdoc to recognize the `#[doc(primitive = "foo")]`
attribute. This attribute indicates that the current module is the "owner" of
the primitive type `foo`. For rustdoc, this means that the doc-comment for the
module is the doc-comment for the primitive type, plus a signal to all
downstream crates that hyperlinks for primitive types will be directed at the
crate containing the `#[doc]` directive.
Additionally, rustdoc will favor crates closest to the one being documented
which "implements the primitive type". For example, documentation of libcore
links to libcore for primitive types, but documentation for libstd and beyond
all links to libstd for primitive types.
This change involves no compiler modifications, it is purely a rustdoc change.
The landing pages for the primitive types primarily serve to show a list of
implemented traits for the primitive type itself.
The primitive types documented includes both strings and slices in a semi-ad-hoc
way, but in a way that should provide at least somewhat meaningful
documentation.
Closes#14474
This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more
details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord}
or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}.

The Float trait in libstd is quite a large trait which has dependencies on cmath
(libm) and such, which libcore cannot satisfy. It also has many functions that
libcore can implement, however, as LLVM has intrinsics or they're just bit
twiddling.
This commit moves what it can of the Float trait from the standard library into
libcore to allow floats to be usable in the core library. The remaining
functions are now resident in a FloatMath trait in the standard library (in the
prelude now). Previous code which was generic over just the Float trait may now
need to be generic over the FloatMath trait.

This mostly involved frobbing imports between realstd, realcore, and the core
being test. Some of the imports are a little counterintuitive, but it mainly
focuses around libcore's types not implementing Show while libstd's types
implement Show.
This adds an small of failure to libcore, hamstrung by the fact that std::fmt
hasn't been migrated yet. A few asserts were re-worked to not use std::fmt
features, but these asserts can go back to their original form once std::fmt has
migrated.
The current failure implementation is to just have some symbols exposed by
std::rt::unwind that are linked against by libcore. This is an explicit circular
dependency, unfortunately. This will be officially supported in the future
through compiler support with much nicer failure messages. Additionally, there
are two depended-upon symbols today, but in the future there will only be one
(once std::fmt has migrated).
This implements all traits inside of core::num for all the primitive types,
removing all the functionality from libstd. The std modules reexport all of the
necessary items from the core modules.
This strips out all string-related functionality from the num module. The
inherited functionality is all that will be implemented in libcore (for now).
Primarily, libcore will not implement the Float trait or any string-related
functionality.
It may be possible to migrate string parsing functionality into libcore in the
future, but for now it will remain in libstd.
All functionality in core::num is reexported in std::num.
fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
