It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.
Closes#6592

the switch from package `hello` to `pkg_id` is a little jarring; I'd use `<var>` but I don't see how. ALL_CAPS i.e. PKG_ID seems like a reasonable poor-man's `<var>`.
It was a little ambiguous before how explicitl positional parameters and
implicit positional parameters intermingled, and this clarifies how the two
intermingle. This also updates a little bit of documentation/code examples
elsewhere as well.
This meant the "smooth" migration path @alexcrichton had planned was broken, since any use of the old `fmt!` met with an undefined macro error (and the logging was using the new syntax, accidentally).
This change adds --soft-float option for generating
software floating point library calls.
It also implies using soft float ABI, that is the same as llc.
It is useful for targets that have no FPU.
We're not outright removing fmt! just yet, but this prevents it from leaking
into the compiler further (it's still turned on by default for all other code).

When a key is pressed and held, this now does the OS-style repeating after a bit
of a pause. Also fixes the width of search results to be correct (was changed
beforehand and didn't catch this).
This modifies the command-line usage of rustdoc to intake its own JSON output as
well as a rust source file. This also alters the command line from
`rustdoc input file` to `rustdoc file` with the input/output formats specified
as -r and -w, respectively.
When using a JSON input, no passes or plugins are re-run over the json, instead
the output is generated directly from the JSON that was provided. Passes and
plugins are still run on rust source input, however.
This change adds -Z soft-float option for generating
software floating point library calls.
