It is often convenient to have forms of weak linkage or other various types of
linkage. Sadly, just using these flavors of linkage are not compatible with
Rust's typesystem and how it considers some pointers to be non-null.
As a compromise, this commit adds support for weak linkage to external symbols,
but it requires that this is only placed on extern statics of type `*T`.
Codegen-wise, we get translations like:
// rust code
extern {
#[linkage = "extern_weak"]
static foo: *i32;
}
// generated IR
@foo = extern_weak global i32
@_some_internal_symbol = internal global *i32 @foo
All references to the rust value of `foo` then reference `_some_internal_symbol`
instead of the symbol `_foo` itself. This allows us to guarantee that the
address of `foo` will never be null while the value may sometimes be null.
An example was implemented in `std::rt::thread` to determine if
`__pthread_get_minstack()` is available at runtime, and a test is checked in to
use it for a static value as well. Function pointers a little odd because you
still need to transmute the pointer value to a function pointer, but it's
thankfully better than not having this capability at all.

This is a partial implementation of #12517.
This new SVH is used to uniquely identify all crates as a snapshot in time of
their ABI/API/publicly reachable state. This current calculation is just a hash
of the entire crate's AST. This is obviously incorrect, but it is currently the
reality for today.
This change threads through the new Svh structure which originates from crate
dependencies. The concept of crate id hash is preserved to provide efficient
matching on filenames for crate loading. The inspected hash once crate metadata
is opened has been changed to use the new Svh.
The goal of this hash is to identify when upstream crates have changed but
downstream crates have not been recompiled. This will prevent the def-id drift
problem where upstream crates were recompiled, thereby changing their metadata,
but downstream crates were not recompiled.
In the future this hash can be expanded to exclude contents of the AST like doc
comments, but limitations in the compiler prevent this change from being made at
this time.

These are types that are in exported type signatures, but are not
exported themselves, e.g.
struct Foo { ... }
pub fn bar() -> Foo { ... }
will warn about the Foo.
Such types are not listed in documentation, and cannot be named outside
the crate in which they are declared, which is very user-unfriendly.

- For each *mutable* static item, check that the **type**:
- cannot own any value whose type has a dtor
- cannot own any values whose type is an owned pointer
- For each *immutable* static item, check that the **value**:
- does not contain any ~ or box expressions
(including ~[1, 2, 3] sort of things)
- does not contain a struct literal or call to an enum
variant / struct constructor where
- the type of the struct/enum has a dtor
This updates a number of ignore-test tests, and removes a few completely
outdated tests due to the feature being tested no longer being supported.
This brings a number of bench/shootout tests up to date so they're compiling
again. I make no claims to the performance of these benchmarks, it's just nice
to not have bitrotted code.

In its first pass, namely gather_loans, the borrow checker tracks the
initialization sites among other things it does. It does so for let
bindings with initializers but not for bindings in match arms, which are
effectively also assignments. This patch does that for borrow checker.

This commit removes deriving(ToStr) in favor of deriving(Show), migrating all impls of ToStr to fmt::Show.
Most of the details can be found in the first commit message.
Closes#12477
This commit changes the ToStr trait to:
impl<T: fmt::Show> ToStr for T {
fn to_str(&self) -> ~str { format!("{}", *self) }
}
The ToStr trait has been on the chopping block for quite awhile now, and this is
the final nail in its coffin. The trait and the corresponding method are not
being removed as part of this commit, but rather any implementations of the
`ToStr` trait are being forbidden because of the generic impl. The new way to
get the `to_str()` method to work is to implement `fmt::Show`.
Formatting into a `&mut Writer` (as `format!` does) is much more efficient than
`ToStr` when building up large strings. The `ToStr` trait forces many
intermediate allocations to be made while the `fmt::Show` trait allows
incremental buildup in the same heap allocated buffer. Additionally, the
`fmt::Show` trait is much more extensible in terms of interoperation with other
`Writer` instances and in more situations. By design the `ToStr` trait requires
at least one allocation whereas the `fmt::Show` trait does not require any
allocations.

Makes labelled loops hygiene by performing renaming of the labels
defined in e.g. `'x: loop { ... }` and then used in break and continue
statements within loop body so that they act hygienically when used with
macros.
Closes#12262.
With the stability attributes we can put public-but unstable modules next to others, so this moves `intrinsics` and `raw` out of the `unstable` module (and marks both as `#[experimental]`).
These two containers are indeed collections, so their place is in
libcollections, not in libstd. There will always be a hash map as part of the
standard distribution of Rust, but by moving it out of the standard library it
makes libstd that much more portable to more platforms and environments.
This conveniently also removes the stuttering of 'std::hashmap::HashMap',
although 'collections::HashMap' is only one character shorter.
This PR merges `IterBytes` and `Hash` into a trait that allows for generic non-stream-based hashing. It makes use of @eddyb's default type parameter support in order to have a similar usage to the old `Hash` framework.
Fixes#8038.
Todo:
- [x] Better documentation
- [ ] Benchmark
- [ ] Parameterize `HashMap` on a `Hasher`.
Fixes#12350.
Parentheses around assignment statements such as
```rust
let mut a = (0);
a = (1);
a += (2);
```
are not necessary and therefore an unnecessary_parens warning is raised when
statements like this occur.
NOTE: In `let` declarations this does not work as intended. Is it possible that they do not count as assignment expressions (`ExprAssign`)? (edit: this is fixed by now)
Furthermore, there are some cases that I fixed in the rest of the code, where parentheses could potentially enhance readability. Compare these lines:
```rust
a = b == c;
a = (b == c);
```
Thus, after having worked on this I'm not entirely sure, whether we should go through with this patch or not. Probably a matter of debate. ;)
Not all of those messages are covered by tests. I am not sure how to trigger them and where to put those tests.
Also some message patterns in the existing tests are not complete.
For example, i find `error: mismatched types: expected "i32" but found "char" (expected i32 but found char)` a bit repetitive, but as i can see there is no test covering that.
Closes#12366.

The warning mechanism was refactored along the way to allow for code reuse
between the routines for checking expressions and statements.
Code had to be adopted throughout the compiler and standard libraries to comply
with this modification of the lint.
Travis CI provides an easy-to-use continuous integration infrastructure for
github repos to use. Travis will automatically test all PRs which are opened
against the rust repository, informing PR owners of the test results.
I believe that this will be a very convenient piece of infrastructure as we'll
be able to reduce the load on bors quite a bit. In theory all PRs opened have
had the full test suite run against them, but unfortunately this is rarely the
case (I'm a prime suspect). Travis will be able to provide easy and relatively
quick (~30min) feedback for PRs. By ensuring fewer failures on bors, we can
hopefully feed more successful jobs to bors.
Overall, I expect this to be very helpful for new contributors as well as
regular contributors as it's another layer of tests being run which will
hopefully catch things sooner. One of the most convenient parts about using
Travis is that there's very little burden in terms of maintenance, and if things
go wrong we can easily turn travis completely off.
Note that this is *not* the metric by which a PR will be merged with. Using
travis will purely be another source for running tests, we will continue to gate
all PRs on bors.
This patch merges IterBytes and Hash traits, which clears up the
confusion of using `#[deriving(IterBytes)]` to support hashing.
Instead, it now is much easier to use the new `#[deriving(Hash)]`
for making a type hashable with a stream hash.
Furthermore, it supports custom non-stream-based hashers, such as
if a value's hash was cached in a database.
This does not yet replace the old IterBytes-hash with this new
version.
Previously an `unsafe` block created by the compiler (like those in the
formatting macros) would be "ignored" if surrounded by `unsafe`, that
is, the internal unsafety would be being legitimised by the external
block:
unsafe { println!("...") } =(expansion)=> unsafe { ... unsafe { ... } }
And the code in the inner block would be using the outer block, making
it considered used (and the inner one considered unused).
This patch forces the compiler to create a new unsafe context for
compiler generated blocks, so that their internal unsafety doesn't
escape to external blocks.
Fixes#12418.

This commit rewrites crate loading internally in attempt to look at less
metadata and provide nicer errors. The loading is now split up into a few
stages:
1. Collect a mapping of (hash => ~[Path]) for a set of candidate libraries for a
given search. The hash is the hash in the filename and the Path is the
location of the library in question. All candidates are filtered based on
their prefix/suffix (dylib/rlib appropriate) and then the hash/version are
split up and are compared (if necessary).
This means that if you're looking for an exact hash of library you don't have
to open up the metadata of all libraries named the same, but also in your
path.
2. Once this mapping is constructed, each (hash, ~[Path]) pair is filtered down
to just a Path. This is necessary because the same rlib could show up twice
in the path in multiple locations. Right now the filenames are based on just
the crate id, so this could be indicative of multiple version of a crate
during one crate_id lifetime in the path. If multiple duplicate crates are
found, an error is generated.
3. Now that we have a mapping of (hash => Path), we error on multiple versions
saying that multiple versions were found. Only if there's one (hash => Path)
pair do we actually return that Path and its metadata.
With this restructuring, it restructures code so errors which were assertions
previously are now first-class errors. Additionally, this should read much less
metadata with lots of crates of the same name or same version in a path.
