# Changes to `core::option`
Most of the module is marked as stable or unstable; most of the unstable items are awaiting resolution of conventions issues.
However, a few methods have been deprecated, either due to lack of use or redundancy:
* `take_unwrap`, `get_ref` and `get_mut_ref` (redundant, and we prefer for this functionality to go through an explicit .unwrap)
* `filtered` and `while`
* `mutate` and `mutate_or_set`
* `collect`: this functionality is being moved to a new `FromIterator` impl.
# Changes to `core::result`
Most of the module is marked as stable or unstable; most of the unstable items are awaiting resolution of conventions issues.
* `collect`: this functionality is being moved to a new `FromIterator` impl.
* `fold_` is deprecated due to lack of use
* Several methods found in `core::option` are added here, including `iter`, `as_slice`, and variants.
Due to deprecations, this is a:

This changes the internal representation of `Duration` from
days: i32,
secs: i32,
nanos: u32
to
secs: i64,
nanos: i32
This resolves#16466. Note that `nanos` is an `i32` and not `u32` as suggested, because `i32` is easier to deal with, and it is not exposed anyway. Some methods now take `i64` instead of `i32` due to the increased range. Some methods, like `num_milliseconds`, now return an `Option<i64>` instead of `i64`, because the range of `Duration` is now larger than e.g. 2^63 milliseconds.
A few remarks:
- Negating `MIN` is impossible. I chose to return `MAX` as `-MIN`, but it is one nanosecond less than the actual negation. Is this the desired behaviour?
- In `std::io::timer`, some functions accept a `Duration`, which is internally converted into a number of milliseconds. However, the range of `Duration` is now larger than 2^64 milliseconds. There is already a FIXME in the file that this should be addressed (without a ticket number though). I chose to silently use 0 ms if the duration is too long. Is that right, as long as the backend still uses milliseconds?
- Negative durations are not formatted correctly, but they were not formatted correctly before either.
The implemented fix rounds half-way cases away from zero as described in
the original comments.
This rounding algorithm is sometimes called arithmetic rounding. It is
described further here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Round_half_away_from_zero
I also added several new tests to prevent regressions.

Implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/192.
In particular:
1. type parameters can have lifetime bounds and objects can close over borrowed values, presuming that they have suitable bounds.
2. objects must have a bound, though it may be derived from the trait itself or from a `Send` bound.
3. all types must be well-formed.
4. type parameters and lifetime parameters may themselves have lifetimes as bounds. Something like `T:'a` means "the type T outlives 'a`" and something like `'a:'b`" means "'a outlives 'b". Outlives here means "all borrowed data has a lifetime at least as long".
This is a [breaking-change]. The most common things you have to fix after this change are:
1. Introduce lifetime bounds onto type parameters if your type (directly or indirectly) contains a reference. Thus a struct like `struct Ref<'a, T> { x: &'a T }` would be changed to `struct Ref<'a, T:'a> { x: &'a T }`.
2. Introduce lifetime bounds onto lifetime parameters if your type contains a double reference. Thus a type like `struct RefWrapper<'a, 'b> { r: &'a Ref<'b, int> }` (where `Ref` is defined as before) would need to be changed to `struct RefWrapper<'a, 'b:'a> { ... }`.
2. Explicitly give object lifetimes in structure definitions. Most commonly, this means changing something like `Box<Reader>` to `Box<Reader+'static>`, so as to indicate that this is a reader without any borrowed data. (Note: you may wish to just change to `Box<Reader+Send>` while you're at it; it's a more restrictive type, technically, but means you can send the reader between threads.)
The intuition for points 1 and 2 is that a reference must never outlive its referent (the thing it points at). Therefore, if you have a type `&'a T`, we must know that `T` (whatever it is) outlives `'a`. And so on.
Closes#5723.
This cleans up blatant lies in the concurrency guide, and modernizes it
a bit. There's a lot more to do, but until I get to it, let's make it a
little bit better.

This test seems to read freed memory -- the peeked variable points into the queue, but then the pop operation removes the node from the queue and moves the enclosing `T` elsewhere, invalidating the `peeked` pointer.

As of 8876ce44, `is_sugared_doc` is encoded in metadata, so there is no
need to assume that all `doc` attributes came from sugared comments.
Fixes#15976
We have to specify the module and the function name in the example where
the module shares a crate with the executable as well, so remove the
redundant (and potentially confusing) mention.
For review. Not sure about the link_attrs stuff. Will work on converting all the tests.
extern crate "foobar" as foo;
extern crate foobar as foo;
Implements remaining part of RFC #47.
Addresses issue #16461.
Removed link_attrs from rust.md, they don't appear to be supported by
the parser.
