fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.

instead of prefix `..`.
This breaks code that looked like:
match foo {
[ first, ..middle, last ] => { ... }
}
Change this code to:
match foo {
[ first, middle.., last ] => { ... }
}

This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.

This commit changes the way move errors are reported when some value is
captured by a PatIdent. First, we collect all of the "cannot move out
of" errors before reporting them, and those errors with the same "move
source" are reported together. If the move is caused by a PatIdent (that
binds by value), we add a note indicating where it is and suggest the
user to put `ref` if they don't want the value to move. This makes the
"cannot move out of" error in match expression nicer (though the extra
note may not feel that helpful in other places :P). For example, with
the following code snippet,
```rust
enum Foo {
Foo1(~u32, ~u32),
Foo2(~u32),
Foo3,
}
fn main() {
let f = &Foo1(~1u32, ~2u32);
match *f {
Foo1(num1, num2) => (),
Foo2(num) => (),
Foo3 => ()
}
}
```
Errors before the change:
```rust
test.rs:10:9: 10:25 error: cannot move out of dereference of `&`-pointer
test.rs:10 Foo1(num1, num2) => (),
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test.rs:10:9: 10:25 error: cannot move out of dereference of `&`-pointer
test.rs:10 Foo1(num1, num2) => (),
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test.rs:11:9: 11:18 error: cannot move out of dereference of `&`-pointer
test.rs:11 Foo2(num) => (),
^~~~~~~~~
```
After:
```rust
test.rs:9:11: 9:13 error: cannot move out of dereference of `&`-pointer
test.rs:9 match *f {
^~
test.rs:10:14: 10:18 note: attempting to move value to here (to prevent the move, you can use `ref num1` to capture value by reference)
test.rs:10 Foo1(num1, num2) => (),
^~~~
test.rs:10:20: 10:24 note: and here (use `ref num2`)
test.rs:10 Foo1(num1, num2) => (),

test.rs:11:14: 11:17 note: and here (use `ref num`)
test.rs:11 Foo2(num) => (),

This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external
crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros
and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are:
* The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It
has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost
exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the
end goals of this movement.
* The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the
__log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module
specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging
system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler
itself.
* Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a
magical crate map being available to set module log levels.
* If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's
no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the
highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should
be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one
provided in the rust distribution.
With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some
subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros:
* The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical
log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but
there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level
is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously
generated logging code looked like:
if specified_level <= __module_log_level() {
println!(...)
}
The newly generated code looks like:
if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL {
if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) {
println!(...)
}
}
Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in
that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of
checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have
logging turned on.
This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules
with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive
dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not).
Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but
runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code.
* A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules
that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the
log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally,
warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was
supplied.
The new "hello world" for logging looks like:
#[phase(syntax, link)]
extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("Hello, world!");
}
This is the second of two parts of #8991, now possible as a new snapshot
has been made. (The first part implemented the unreachable!() macro; it
was #8992, 6b7b8f2682.)
``std::util::unreachable()`` is removed summarily; any code which used
it should now use the ``unreachable!()`` macro.
Closes#9312.
Closes#8991.
Code like this is fixed now:
```
fn foo(p: [u8, ..4]) {
match p {
[a, b, c, d] => {}
};
}
```
Invalid constructors are not reported as errors yet:
```
fn foo(p: [u8, ..4]) {
match p {
[_, _, _] => {} // this should be error
[_, _, _, _, _, .._] => {} // and this
_ => {}
}
}
```
Issue #8311 is partially fixed by this commit. Fixed-length arrays in
let statement are not yet allowed:
```
let [a, b, c] = [1, 2, 3]; // still fails
```
borrow checker and generalize what moves are allowed. Fixes a nasty
bug or two in the pattern move checking code. Unifies dataflow code
used for initialization and other things. First step towards
once fns. Everybody wins.
Fixes#4384. Fixes#4715. cc once fns (#2202), optimizing local moves (#5016).
