This adds support for lint groups to the compiler. Lint groups are a way of
grouping a number of lints together under one name. For example, this also
defines a default lint for naming conventions, named `bad_style`. Writing
`#[allow(bad_style)]` is equivalent to writing
`#[allow(non_camel_case_types, non_snake_case, non_uppercase_statics)]`. These
lint groups can also be defined as a compiler plugin using the new
`Registry::register_lint_group` method.
This also adds two built-in lint groups, `bad_style` and `unused`. The contents
of these groups can be seen by running `rustc -W help`.
This unifies the `non_snake_case_functions` and `uppercase_variables` lints
into one lint, `non_snake_case`. It also now checks for non-snake-case modules.
This also extends the non-camel-case types lint to check type parameters, and
merges the `non_uppercase_pattern_statics` lint into the
`non_uppercase_statics` lint.
Because the `uppercase_variables` lint is now part of the `non_snake_case`
lint, all non-snake-case variables that start with lowercase characters (such
as `fooBar`) will now trigger the `non_snake_case` lint.
New code should be updated to use the new `non_snake_case` lint instead of the
previous `non_snake_case_functions` and `uppercase_variables` lints. All use of
the `non_uppercase_pattern_statics` should be replaced with the
`non_uppercase_statics` lint. Any code that previously contained non-snake-case
module or variable names should be updated to use snake case names or disable
the `non_snake_case` lint. Any code with non-camel-case type parameters should
be changed to use camel case or disable the `non_camel_case_types` lint.

# 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.

* `fold_` is deprecated due to lack of use

This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:
use foo::bar;
use baz::bar;
Change this code to the following:
use baz::bar;
Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:
use foo::*; // including `bar`
use baz::bar;
Change this code to remove the glob:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz::bar;
Or qualify all uses of `bar`:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz;
... baz::bar ...
Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.
extern crate std;
Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.
The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.
This implements RFC #116.

The original trick used to trigger unwinds would not work with GCC's implementation of SEH, so I had to invent a new one: rust_try now consists of two routines: the outer one, whose handler triggers unwinds, and the inner one, that stops unwinds by having a landing pad that swallows exceptions and passes them on to the outer routine via a normal return.

As discovered in #15460, a particular #[link(kind = "static", ...)] line is not
actually guaranteed to link the library at all. The reason for this is that if
the external library doesn't have any referenced symbols in the object generated
by rustc, the entire library is dropped by the linker.
For dynamic native libraries, this is solved by passing -lfoo for all downstream
compilations unconditionally. For static libraries in rlibs this is solved
because the entire archive is bundled in the rlib. The only situation in which
this was a problem was when a static native library was linked to a rust dynamic
library.
This commit brings the behavior of dylibs in line with rlibs by passing the
--whole-archive flag to the linker when linking native libraries. On OSX, this
uses the -force_load flag. This flag ensures that the entire archive is
considered candidate for being linked into the final dynamic library.
This is a breaking change because if any static library is included twice in the
same compilation unit then the linker will start emitting errors about duplicate
definitions now. The fix for this would involve only statically linking to a
library once.

This was motivated by a desire to remove allocation in the common
pattern of
let old = key.replace(None)
do_something();
key.replace(old);
This also switched the map representation from a Vec to a TreeMap. A Vec
may be reasonable if there's only a couple TLD keys, but a TreeMap
provides better behavior as the number of keys increases.
Like the Vec, this TreeMap implementation does not shrink the container
when a value is removed. Unlike Vec, this TreeMap implementation cannot
reuse an empty node for a different key. Therefore any key that has been
inserted into the TLD at least once will continue to take up space in
the Map until the task ends. The expectation is that the majority of
keys that are inserted into TLD will be expected to have a value for
most of the rest of the task's lifetime. If this assumption is wrong,
there are two reasonable ways to fix this that could be implemented in
the future:
1. Provide an API call to either remove a specific key from the TLD and
destruct its node (e.g. `remove()`), or instead to explicitly clean
up all currently-empty nodes in the map (e.g. `compact()`). This is
simple, but requires the user to explicitly call it.
2. Keep track of the number of empty nodes in the map and when the map
is mutated (via `replace()`), if the number of empty nodes passes
some threshold, compact it automatically. Alternatively, whenever a
new key is inserted that hasn't been used before, compact the map at
that point.

Benchmarks:
I ran 3 benchmarks. tld_replace_none just replaces the tld key with None
repeatedly. tld_replace_some replaces it with Some repeatedly. And
tld_replace_none_some simulates the common behavior of replacing with
None, then replacing with the previous value again (which was a Some).

The correct terminology is Task-Local Data, or TLD. Task-Local Storage,
or TLS, is the old terminology that was abandoned because of the
confusion with Thread-Local Storage (TLS).
Like with libnative, when a green task failed to spawn it would leave the world
in a corrupt state where the local scheduler had been dropped as well as the
local task. Also like libnative, this patch sets up a "bomb" which when it goes
off will restore the state of the world.
Previously, the call to bookkeeping::increment() was never paired with a
decrement when the spawn failed (due to unwinding). This fixes the problem by
returning a "bomb" from increment() which will decrement on drop, and then
moving the bomb into the child task's procedure which will be dropped naturally.
When a new task fails to spawn, it triggers a task failure of the spawning task.
This ends up causing runtime aborts today because of the destructor bomb in the
Task structure. The bomb doesn't actually need to go off until *after* the task
has run at least once.
This now prevents a runtime abort when a native thread fails to spawn.

This commit applies stability attributes to the contents of these modules,
summarized here:
* The `unit` and `bool` modules have become #[unstable] as they are purely meant
for documentation purposes and are candidates for removal.
* The `ty` module has been deprecated, and the inner `Unsafe` type has been
renamed to `UnsafeCell` and moved to the `cell` module. The `marker1` field
has been removed as the compiler now always infers `UnsafeCell` to be
invariant. The `new` method i stable, but the `value` field, `get` and
`unwrap` methods are all unstable.
* The `tuple` module has its name as stable, the naming of the `TupleN` traits
as stable while the methods are all #[unstable]. The other impls in the module
have appropriate stability for the corresponding trait.
* The `arc` module has received the exact same treatment as the `rc` module
previously did.
* The `any` module has its name as stable. The `Any` trait is also stable, with
a new private supertrait which now contains the `get_type_id` method. This is
to make the method a private implementation detail rather than a public-facing
detail.
The two extension traits in the module are marked #[unstable] as they will not
be necessary with DST. The `is` method is #[stable], the as_{mut,ref} methods
have been renamed to downcast_{mut,ref} and are #[unstable].
The extension trait `BoxAny` has been clarified as to why it is unstable as it
will not be necessary with DST.
This is a breaking change because the `marker1` field was removed from the
`UnsafeCell` type. To deal with this change, you can simply delete the field and
only specify the value of the `data` field in static initializers.

This implements RFC 39. Omitted lifetimes in return values will now be
inferred to more useful defaults, and an error is reported if a lifetime
in a return type is omitted and one of the two lifetime elision rules

The second pattern that needs to be changed is this:

Borrowed(&'a str),
Owned(String),

fn foo() -> MaybeBorrowed {

This commit changes the `io::process::Command` API to provide
fine-grained control over the environment:
* The `env` method now inserts/updates a key/value pair.
* The `env_remove` method removes a key from the environment.
* The old `env` method, which sets the entire environment in one shot,
is renamed to `env_set_all`. It can be used in conjunction with the
finer-grained methods. This renaming is a breaking change.
To support these new methods, the internal `env` representation for
`Command` has been changed to an optional `HashMap` holding owned
`CString`s (to support non-utf8 data). The `HashMap` is only
materialized if the environment is updated. The implementation does not
try hard to avoid allocation, since the cost of launching a process will
dwarf any allocation cost.

These forms return the pointer directly, rather than the added
indirection, indentation, and inefficiencies of the closures in
`.with_ref` and `.with_mut_ref`. The two closure functions are
deprecated.
Replace
foo(c_str.with_ref(|p| p))
c_str.with_ref(|p| {
foo(p);
bar(p);

with
foo(c_str.as_ptr())
let p = c_str.as_ptr();
foo(p);
bar(p);
This change does mean that one has to be careful to avoid writing `let p
= x.to_c_str().as_ptr();` since the `CString` will be freed at the end
of the statement. Previously, `with_ref` was used (and `as_ptr` avoided)
for this reason, but Rust has strongly moved away from closures to more
RAII-style code, and most uses of `.with_ref` where in the form
`.with_ref(|p| p)` anyway, that is, they were exactly `.as_ptr`.

This change registers new snapshots, allowing `*T` to be removed from the language. This is a large breaking change, and it is recommended that if compiler errors are seen that any FFI calls are audited to determine whether they should be actually taking `*mut T`.
Most of the comments are available on the Task structure itself, but this commit
is aimed at making FFI-style usage of Rust tasks a little nicer.
Primarily, this commit enables re-use of tasks across multiple invocations. The
method `run` will no longer unconditionally destroy the task itself. Rather, the
task will be internally re-usable if the closure specified did not fail. Once a
task has failed once it is considered poisoned and it can never be used again.
Along the way I tried to document shortcomings of the current method of tearing
down a task, opening a few issues as well. For now none of the behavior is a
showstopper, but it's useful to acknowledge it. Also along the way I attempted
to remove as much `unsafe` code as possible, opting for safer abstractions.
This change starts denying `*T` in the parser. All code using `*T` should ensure
that the FFI call does indeed take `const T*` on the other side before renaming
the type to `*const T`.
Otherwise, all code can rename `*T` to `*const T`.

* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

Once a native mutex has been used once, it is never allowed to be moved again.
This is because some pthreads implementations take pointers inside the mutex
itself.
This commit adds stern wording around the methods on native mutexes, and fixes
one use case in the codebase. The Mutex type in libsync was susceptible to
movement, so the inner static mutex is now boxed to ensure that the address of
the native mutex is constant.
The following features have been removed
* box [a, b, c]
* ~[a, b, c]
* box [a, ..N]
* ~[a, ..N]
* ~[T] (as a type)
* deprecated_owned_vector lint
All users of ~[T] should move to using Vec<T> instead.
This commit is the final step in the libstd facade, #13851. The purpose of this
commit is to move libsync underneath the standard library, behind the facade.
This will allow core primitives like channels, queues, and atomics to all live
in the same location.
There were a few notable changes and a few breaking changes as part of this
movement:
* The `Vec` and `String` types are reexported at the top level of libcollections
* The `unreachable!()` macro was copied to libcore
* The `std::rt::thread` module was moved to librustrt, but it is still
reexported at the same location.
* The `std::comm` module was moved to libsync
* The `sync::comm` module was moved under `sync::comm`, and renamed to `duplex`.
It is now a private module with types/functions being reexported under
`sync::comm`. This is a breaking change for any existing users of duplex
streams.
* All concurrent queues/deques were moved directly under libsync. They are also
all marked with #![experimental] for now if they are public.
* The `task_pool` and `future` modules no longer live in libsync, but rather
live under `std::sync`. They will forever live at this location, but they may
move to libsync if the `std::task` module moves as well.

It is now a private module with types/functions being reexported under
`sync::comm`. This is a breaking change for any existing users of duplex
streams.
* All concurrent queues/deques were moved directly under libsync. They are also
all marked with #![experimental] for now if they are public.
* The `task_pool` and `future` modules no longer live in libsync, but rather
live under `std::sync`. They will forever live at this location, but they may
move to libsync if the `std::task` module moves as well.
