In this commit I:
- removed unneeded heap allocations
- added extra whitespace to crowded expressions
- and removed unneeded syntax
Also, CC @bblum although this change is fairly unobjectionable.
Summary:
-removed "ne" methods in libstd and librustpkg
-made default "ne" be inlined
-made one of the "eq" methods in librustpkg follow more standard parameter naming convention
The only changes to the default passes is that O1 now doesn't run the inline
pass, just always-inline with lifetime intrinsics. O2 also now has a threshold
of 225 instead of 275. Otherwise the default passes being run is the same.
I've also added a few more options for configuring the pass pipeline. Namely you
can now specify arguments to LLVM directly via the `--llvm-args` command line
option which operates similarly to `--passes`. I also added the ability to turn
off pre-population of the pass manager in case you want to run *only* your own
passes.
I would consider this as closing #8890. I don't think that we should change the default inlining threshold because LLVM/clang will probably have chosen those numbers more carefully than we would. Regardless, here's the performance numbers from this commit:

r? @brson
@metajack requested the ability to violate the "only workspaces can be in the RUST_PATH" rule for the purpose of bootstrapping Servo without having to restructure all the directories. This patch gives rustpkg the ability to find sources if a directory in the RUST_PATH directly contains one of rustpkg's "special" files (lib.rs, main.rs, bench.rs, or test.rs), even if it's not a workspace. In this case, it puts the build artifacts in the first workspace in the RUST_PATH.
I'm not sure whether or not it's a good idea to keep this feature in rustpkg permanently. Thus, I added a flag, ```--use-rust-path-hack```, and only enabled it when the flag is set.
This commit adds a rustpkg flag, --rust-path-hack, that allows
rustpkg to *search* inside package directories if they appear in
the RUST_PATH, while *building* libraries and executables into a
different target directory.
This behavior is hidden behind a flag because I believe we only
want to support it temporarily, to make it easier to port servo to
rustpkg.
This commit also includes a fix for how rustpkg fetches sources
from git repositories -- it uses a temporary directory as the target
when invoking `git clone`, then moves that directory into the workspace
if the clone was successful. (The old behavior was that when the
`git clone` failed, the empty target directory would be left lying
around anyway.)
Fix a bug in `s.slice_chars(a, b)` that did not accept `a == s.len()`.
Fix a bug in `!=` defined for DList.
Also simplify NormalizationIterator to use the CharIterator directly instead of mimicing the iteration itself.
These are very easy to replace with methods on string slices, basically
`.char_len()` and `.len()`.
These are the replacement implementations I did to clean these
functions up, but seeing this I propose removal:
/// ...
pub fn count_chars(s: &str, begin: uint, end: uint) -> uint {
// .slice() checks the char boundaries
s.slice(begin, end).char_len()
}
/// Counts the number of bytes taken by the first `n` chars in `s`
/// starting from byte index `begin`.
///
/// Fails if there are less than `n` chars past `begin`
pub fn count_bytes<'b>(s: &'b str, begin: uint, n: uint) -> uint {
s.slice_from(begin).slice_chars(0, n).len()
}
The only user-facing change is handling non-integer (and zero) `RUST_THREADS` more nicely:
```
$ RUST_THREADS=x rustc # old
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
fatal runtime error: runtime tls key not initialized
Aborted
$ RUST_THREADS=x ./x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage2/bin/rustc # new
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
fatal runtime error: `RUST_THREADS` is `x`, should be a positive integer
Aborted
```
The other changes are converting some `for .. in range(x,y)` to `vec::from_fn` or `for .. in x.iter()` as appropriate; and removing a chain of (seemingly) unnecessary pointer casts.
(Also, fixes a typo in `extra::test` from #8823.)
