`thread::spawn` was previously restricted to closures that return `()`,
which limited the utility of joining on a spawned thread. However, there
is no reason for this restriction, and this commit allows arbitrary
return types.
Since it introduces a type parameter to `JoinHandle`, it's technically
a:
[breaking-change]
However, no code is actually expected to break.
Issue #24292 demonstrates that the `scoped` API as currently offered can
be memory-unsafe: the `JoinGuard` can be moved into a context that will
fail to execute destructors prior to the stack frame being popped (for
example, by creating an `Rc` cycle).
This commit reverts the APIs to `unstable` status while a long-term
solution is worked out.
(There are several possible ways to address this issue; it's not a
fundamental problem with the `scoped` idea, but rather an indication
that Rust doesn't currently provide a good way to ensure that
destructors are run within a particular stack frame.)

This PR makes `rustc` emit field names for tuple fields in DWARF. Formerly there was no way of directly accessing the fields of a tuple in GDB and LLDB since there is no C/C++ equivalent to this. Now, the debugger sees the name `__{field-index}` for tuple fields. So you can type for example `some_tuple_val.__2` to get the third tuple component.
When pretty printers are used (e.g. via `rust-gdb` or `rust-lldb`) these artificial field names will not clutter tuple rendering (which was the main motivation for not doing this in the past).
Solves #21948.
On linux, certain crashes can cause rust's backtrace generation code to consume huge amounts of memory (multiple gigabytes) when trying to generate a backtrace (e.g. servo/servo#5340).
I tracked this down to a bug in libbacktrace's allocation strategy when processing large binaries, and thankfully it's already been fixed upstream.
The change which fixes this specific issue is r210256, and is discussed here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-05/msg00547.html
I assume we'd prefer to update libbacktrace wholesale, rather than cherry-picking individual patches, so this PR updates libbacktrace to the latest code from svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk/libbacktrace (r220112).
I've copied the upstream code and reapplied the parts of the following commits which touch src/libbacktrace:
- cd8f31759f
- fcb30a0b67
I have not reapplied f5765793b6 or d51047ded0, as those are both cosmetic cleanups applied to the entire codebase. For this directory, it seems worthwhile diverging as little as possible from upstream, to reduce the effort of future updates. But I can add them as well if preferred.
There are syntax extensions that call `std::rt::begin_unwind` passing it a `usize`. I updated the syntax extension to instead pass `u32`, but for bootstrapping reasons, I needed to create a `#[cfg(stage0)]` version of `std::rt::begin_unwind` and therefore also `panic!`.
Also add docs because not being able to discover these things is the pits.
This was lifted from http://blog.jgc.org/2015/04/the-one-line-you-should-add-to-every.html , and solves a problem I've solved myself a *lot* of times, often in massively inferior ways.
Super open to documenting it somewhere other than nitty-gritty, which isn't immediately obvious.
Right now, if the user requests to increase the vector size via reserve() or push_back() and the request brings the attempted memory above usize::MAX, we panic.
With this change there is only a panic if the minimum requested memory that could meet the requirement is above usize::MAX- otherwise it simply requests its largest capacity possible, usize::MAX.
The "static and dynamic dispatch" chapter seems to no longer exist but there is a dead link from the Traits chapter pointing to it.
Have changed the link to point to "Trait Objects" which covers static and dynamic dispatch.
* In `noop_fold_expr`, call `new_span` in these cases:
- `ExprMethodCall`'s identifier
- `ExprField`'s identifier
- `ExprTupField`'s integer
Calling `new_span` for `ExprMethodCall`'s identifier is necessary to print
an acceptable diagnostic for `write!(&2, "")`. We see this error:
```
<std macros>:2:20: 2:66 error: type `&mut _` does not implement any method in scope named `write_fmt`
<std macros>:2 ( & mut * $ dst ) . write_fmt ( format_args ! ( $ ( $ arg ) * ) ) )
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
With this change, we also see a macro expansion backtrace leading to
the `write!(&2, "")` call site.
* After fully expanding a macro, we replace the expansion expression's
span with the original span. Call `fld.new_span` to add a backtrace to
this span. (Note that I'm call `new_span` after `bt.pop()`, so the macro
just expanded isn't on the backtrace.)
The motivating example for this change is `println!("{}")`. The format
string literal is `concat!($fmt, "arg")` and is inside the libstd macro.
We need to see the backtrace to find the `println!` call site.
* Add a backtrace to the `format_args!` format expression span.

Addresses #23459
We provide tools to tell what exact symbols to emit for any fn or static, but
don’t quite check if that won’t cause any issues later on. Some of the issues
include LLVM mangling our names again and our names pointing to wrong locations,
us generating dumb foreign call wrappers, linker errors, extern functions
resolving to different symbols altogether (`extern {fn fail();} fail();` in some
cases calling `fail1()`), etc.
Before the commit we had a function called `note_unique_llvm_symbol`, so it is
clear somebody was aware of the issue at some point, but the function was barely
used, mostly in irrelevant locations.
Along with working on it I took liberty to start refactoring trans/base into
a few smaller modules. The refactoring is incomplete and I hope I will find some
motivation to carry on with it.
This is possibly a [breaking-change] because it makes dumbly written code
properly invalid.
This fixes all those issues about incorrect use of #[no_mangle] being not reported/misreported/ICEd by the compiler.
NB. This PR does not attempt to tackle the parallel codegen issue that was mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/22811, but I believe it should be very straightforward in a follow up PR by modifying `trans::declare::get_defined_value` to look at all the contexts.
cc @alexcrichton @huonw @nrc because you commented on the original RFC issue.
EDIT: wow, this became much bigger than I initially intended.

Addresses #23459
This fixes the bug described in issue #23150. This affected formatting any floating point number into a string in a formatting pattern that: a) required rounding up, and b) required an extra digit on the front.
So `format!("{:.0}", 9.9)` would fail, but `format!("{:.0}", 8.9)` would succeed. This was due to a negative integer being cast to a `usize` resulting in an 'arithmetic operation overflowed' panic.
The fix was to change the order of operations so that the number is zero before casting.
From [here](http://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/primitive.i8.html):
> `fn rotate_right(self, n: u32) -> i8`
> Shifts the bits to the right by a specified __amount amount__, n, wrapping the truncated bits to the beginning of the resulting integer.
...to be less confusing. Since 0 is the smallest number possible for usize, it doesn't make sense to mention it if it's already included, and it should be more clear that the length of the vector is a valid index with the new wording.

Don't use skolemized parameters but rather fresh variables in coherence. Skolemized parameters wind up preventing unification. Surprised we had no test for this! Fixes#24241.
