This commit stabilizes the `ErrorKind` enumeration which is consumed by and
generated by the `io::Error` type. The purpose of this type is to serve as a
cross-platform namespace to categorize errors into. Two specific issues are
addressed as part of this stablization:
* The naming of each variant was scrutinized and some were tweaked. An example
is how `FileNotFound` was renamed to simply `NotFound`. These names should not
show either a Unix or Windows bias and the set of names is intended to grow
over time. For now the names will likely largely consist of those errors
generated by the I/O APIs in the standard library.
* The mapping of OS error codes onto kinds has been altered. Coalescing no
longer occurs (multiple error codes become one kind). It is intended that each
OS error code, if bound, corresponds to only one `ErrorKind`. The current set
of error kinds was expanded slightly to include some networking errors.
This commit also adds a `raw_os_error` function which returns an `Option<i32>`
to extract the underlying raw error code from the `Error`.
This commit clarifies some of the unstable features in the `str` module by
moving them out of the blanket `core` and `collections` features.
The following methods were moved to the `str_char` feature which generally
encompasses decoding specific characters from a `str` and dealing with the
result. It is unclear if any of these methods need to be stabilized for 1.0 and
the most conservative route for now is to continue providing them but to leave
them as unstable under a more specific name.
* `is_char_boundary`
* `char_at`
* `char_range_at`
* `char_at_reverse`
* `char_range_at_reverse`
* `slice_shift_char`
The following methods were moved into the generic `unicode` feature as they are
specifically enabled by the `unicode` crate itself.
* `nfd_chars`
* `nfkd_chars`
* `nfc_chars`
* `graphemes`
* `grapheme_indices`
* `width`
This commit stabilizes essentially all of the new `std::path` API. The
API itself is changed in a couple of ways (which brings it in closer
alignment with the RFC):
* `.` components are now normalized away, unless they appear at the
start of a path. This in turn effects the semantics of e.g. asking for
the file name of `foo/` or `foo/.`, both of which yield `Some("foo")`
now. This semantics is what the original RFC specified, and is also
desirable given early experience rolling out the new API.
* The `parent` function now succeeds if, and only if, the path has at
least one non-root/prefix component. This change affects `pop` as
well.
* The `Prefix` component now involves a separate `PrefixComponent`
struct, to better allow for keeping both parsed and unparsed prefix data.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.
Closes#23264
[breaking-change]
This commit deprecates the majority of std::old_io::fs in favor of std::fs and
its new functionality. Some functions remain non-deprecated but are now behind a
feature gate called `old_fs`. These functions will be deprecated once
suitable replacements have been implemented.
The compiler has been migrated to new `std::fs` and `std::path` APIs where
appropriate as part of this change.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 823][rfc] which is another pass over
the `std::hash` module for stabilization. The contents of the module were not
entirely marked stable, but some portions which remained quite similar to the
previous incarnation are now marked `#[stable]`. Specifically:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0823-hash-simplification.md
* `std::hash` is now stable (the name)
* `Hash` is now stable
* `Hash::hash` is now stable
* `Hasher` is now stable
* `SipHasher` is now stable
* `SipHasher::new` and `new_with_keys` are now stable
* `Hasher for SipHasher` is now stable
* Many `Hash` implementations are now stable
All other portions of the `hash` module remain `#[unstable]` as they are less
commonly used and were recently redesigned.
This commit is a breaking change due to the modifications to the `std::hash` API
and more details can be found on the [RFC][rfc].
Closes#22467

This commit renames the features for the `std::old_io` and `std::old_path`
modules to `old_io` and `old_path` to help facilitate migration to the new APIs.
This is a breaking change as crates which mention the old feature names now need
to be renamed to use the new feature names.

There are a number of holes that the stability lint did not previously cover,
including:
* Types
* Bounds on type parameters on functions and impls
* Where clauses
* Imports
* Patterns (structs and enums)
These holes have all been fixed by overriding the `visit_path` function on the
AST visitor instead of a few specialized cases. This change also necessitated a
few stability changes:
* The `collections::fmt` module is now stable (it was already supposed to be).
* The `thread_local:👿:Key` type is now stable (it was already supposed to
be).
* The `std::rt::{begin_unwind, begin_unwind_fmt}` functions are now stable.
These are required via the `panic!` macro.
* The `std::old_io::stdio::{println, println_args}` functions are now stable.
These are required by the `print!` and `println!` macros.
* The `ops::{FnOnce, FnMut, Fn}` traits are now `#[stable]`. This is required to
make bounds with these traits stable. Note that manual implementations of
these traits are still gated by default, this stability only allows bounds
such as `F: FnOnce()`.
Additionally, the compiler now has special logic to ignore its own generated
`__test` module for the `--test` harness in terms of stability.

This partially implements the feature staging described in the
[release channel RFC][rc]. It does not yet fully conform to the RFC as
written, but does accomplish its goals sufficiently for the 1.0 alpha
release.
It has three primary user-visible effects:
* On the nightly channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of feature gates generates a warning.
Code that does not trigger these warnings is considered 'stable',
modulo pre-1.0 bugs.
Disabling the warnings for unstable APIs continues to be done in the
existing (i.e. old) style, via `#[allow(...)]`, not that specified in
the RFC. I deem this marginally acceptable since any code that must do
this is not using the stable dialect of Rust.
Use of feature gates is itself gated with the new 'unstable_features'
lint, on nightly set to 'allow', and on beta 'warn'.
The attribute scheme used here corresponds to an older version of the
RFC, with the `#[staged_api]` crate attribute toggling the staging
behavior of the stability attributes, but the user impact is only
in-tree so I'm not concerned about having to make design changes later
(and I may ultimately prefer the scheme here after all, with the
`#[staged_api]` crate attribute).
Since the Rust codebase itself makes use of unstable features the
compiler and build system do a midly elaborate dance to allow it to
bootstrap while disobeying these lints (which would otherwise be
errors because Rust builds with `-D warnings`).
This patch includes one significant hack that causes a
regression. Because the `format_args!` macro emits calls to unstable
APIs it would trigger the lint. I added a hack to the lint to make it
not trigger, but this in turn causes arguments to `println!` not to be
checked for feature gates. I don't presently understand macro
expansion well enough to fix. This is bug #20661.
Closes#16678

Next steps are to disable the existing out-of-tree behavior for stability attributes, and convert the remaining system to be feature-based per the RFC. During the first beta cycle we will set these lints to 'forbid'.
To avoid using the feauture, change uses of `box <expr>` to
`Box::new(<expr>)` alternative, as noted by the feature gate message.
(Note that box patterns have no analogous trivial replacement, at
least not in general; you need to revise the code to do a partial
match, deref, and then the rest of the match.)

This commit aims to prepare the `std::hash` module for alpha by formalizing its
current interface whileholding off on adding `#[stable]` to the new APIs. The
current usage with the `HashMap` and `HashSet` types is also reconciled by
separating out composable parts of the design. The primary goal of this slight
redesign is to separate the concepts of a hasher's state from a hashing
algorithm itself.
The primary change of this commit is to separate the `Hasher` trait into a
`Hasher` and a `HashState` trait. Conceptually the old `Hasher` trait was
actually just a factory for various states, but hashing had very little control
over how these states were used. Additionally the old `Hasher` trait was
actually fairly unrelated to hashing.
This commit redesigns the existing `Hasher` trait to match what the notion of a
`Hasher` normally implies with the following definition:
trait Hasher {
type Output;
fn reset(&mut self);
fn finish(&self) -> Output;
}
This `Hasher` trait emphasizes that hashing algorithms may produce outputs other
than a `u64`, so the output type is made generic. Other than that, however, very
little is assumed about a particular hasher. It is left up to implementors to
provide specific methods or trait implementations to feed data into a hasher.
The corresponding `Hash` trait becomes:
trait Hash<H: Hasher> {
fn hash(&self, &mut H);
}
The old default of `SipState` was removed from this trait as it's not something
that we're willing to stabilize until the end of time, but the type parameter is
always required to implement `Hasher`. Note that the type parameter `H` remains
on the trait to enable multidispatch for specialization of hashing for
particular hashers.
Note that `Writer` is not mentioned in either of `Hash` or `Hasher`, it is
simply used as part `derive` and the implementations for all primitive types.
With these definitions, the old `Hasher` trait is realized as a new `HashState`
trait in the `collections::hash_state` module as an unstable addition for
now. The current definition looks like:
trait HashState {
type Hasher: Hasher;
fn hasher(&self) -> Hasher;
}
The purpose of this trait is to emphasize that the one piece of functionality
for implementors is that new instances of `Hasher` can be created. This
conceptually represents the two keys from which more instances of a
`SipHasher` can be created, and a `HashState` is what's stored in a
`HashMap`, not a `Hasher`.
Implementors of custom hash algorithms should implement the `Hasher` trait, and
only hash algorithms intended for use in hash maps need to implement or worry
about the `HashState` trait.
The entire module and `HashState` infrastructure remains `#[unstable]` due to it
being recently redesigned, but some other stability decision made for the
`std::hash` module are:
* The `Writer` trait remains `#[experimental]` as it's intended to be replaced
with an `io::Writer` (more details soon).
* The top-level `hash` function is `#[unstable]` as it is intended to be generic
over the hashing algorithm instead of hardwired to `SipHasher`
* The inner `sip` module is now private as its one export, `SipHasher` is
reexported in the `hash` module.
And finally, a few changes were made to the default parameters on `HashMap`.
* The `RandomSipHasher` default type parameter was renamed to `RandomState`.
This renaming emphasizes that it is not a hasher, but rather just state to
generate hashers. It also moves away from the name "sip" as it may not always
be implemented as `SipHasher`. This type lives in the
`std::collections::hash_map` module as `#[unstable]`
* The associated `Hasher` type of `RandomState` is creatively called...
`Hasher`! This concrete structure lives next to `RandomState` as an
implemenation of the "default hashing algorithm" used for a `HashMap`. Under
the hood this is currently implemented as `SipHasher`, but it draws an
explicit interface for now and allows us to modify the implementation over
time if necessary.
There are many breaking changes outlined above, and as a result this commit is
a:

This commit moves the libserialize crate (and will force the hand of the
rustc-serialize crate) to not require the `old_orphan_check` feature gate as
well as using associated types wherever possible. Concretely, the following
changes were made:
* The error type of `Encoder` and `Decoder` is now an associated type, meaning
that these traits have no type parameters.
* The `Encoder` and `Decoder` type parameters on the `Encodable` and `Decodable`
traits have moved to the corresponding method of the trait. This movement
alleviates the dependency on `old_orphan_check` but implies that
implementations can no longer be specialized for the type of encoder/decoder
being implemented.
Due to the trait definitions changing, this is a:

This commit completes the deprecation story for the in-tree serialization
library. The compiler will now emit a warning whenever it encounters
`deriving(Encodable)` or `deriving(Decodable)`, and the library itself is now
marked `#[unstable]` for when feature staging is enabled.
All users of serialization can migrate to the `rustc-serialize` crate on
crates.io which provides the exact same interface as the libserialize library
in-tree. The new deriving modes are named `RustcEncodable` and `RustcDecodable`
and require `extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize` at the crate
root in order to expand correctly.
To migrate all crates, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
[dependencies]
rustc-serialize = "0.1.1"
And then add the following to your crate root:
extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize;
Finally, rename `Encodable` and `Decodable` deriving modes to `RustcEncodable`
and `RustcDecodable`.

It is useful to have configurable newlines in base64 as the standard
leaves that for the implementation to decide. GNU `base64` apparently
uses LF, which meant in `uutils` we had to manually convert the CRLF to
LF. This made the program very slow for large inputs.
