This has long since not been too relevant since the introduction of many crate
type outputs. This commit removes the flag entirely, adjusting all logic to do
the most reasonable thing when building both a library and an executable.
Closes#13337
Currently, rustc requires that a linkage be a product of 100% rlibs or 100%
dylibs. This is to satisfy the requirement that each object appear at most once
in the final output products. This is a bit limiting, and the upcoming libcore
library cannot exist as a dylib, so these rules must change.
The goal of this commit is to enable *some* use cases for mixing rlibs and
dylibs, primarily libcore's use case. It is not targeted at allowing an
exhaustive number of linkage flavors.
There is a new dependency_format module in rustc which calculates what format
each upstream library should be linked as in each output type of the current
unit of compilation. The module itself contains many gory details about what's
going on here.

Pre-step towards issue #12624 and others: Introduce ExprUseVisitor, remove the
moves computation. ExprUseVisitor is a visitor that walks the AST for a
function and calls a delegate to inform it where borrows, copies, and moves
occur.
In this patch, I rewrite the gather_loans visitor to use ExprUseVisitor, but in
future patches, I think we could rewrite regionck, check_loans, and possibly
other passes to use it as well. This would refactor the repeated code between
those places that tries to determine where copies/moves/etc occur.

Similar to my recent changes to ~[T]/&[T], these changes remove the vstore abstraction and represent str types as ~(str) and &(str). The Option<uint> in ty_str is the length of the string, None if the string is dynamically sized.

This patch removes the special auto-rooting for `@` from the borrow checker. With `@` moving into a library, it doesn't make sense to keep this code around anymore. It also simplifies `trans` by removing root checking from there

This exposes volatile versions of the memset/memmove/memcpy intrinsics.
The volatile parameter must be constant, so this can't simply be a
parameter to our intrinsics.
This currently requires linking against a library like libquadmath (or
libgcc), because compiler-rt barely has any support for this and most
hardware does not yet have 128-bit precision floating point. For this
reason, it's currently hidden behind a feature gate.
When compiler-rt is updated to trunk, some tests can be added for
constant evaluation since there will be support for the comparison
operators.

Refactores all uses of ty_vec and associated things to remove the vstore abstraction (still used for strings, for now). Pointers to vectors are stored as ty_rptr or ty_uniq wrapped around a ty_vec. There are no user-facing changes. Existing behaviour is preserved by special-casing many instances of pointers containing vectors. Hopefully with DST most of these hacks will go away. For now it is useful to leave them hanging around rather than abstracting them into a method or something.

In upgrading LLVM, only rust functions had the "split-stack" attribute added.
This commit changes the addition of LLVM's "split-stack" attribute to *always*
occur and then we remove it sometimes if the "no_split_stack" rust attribute is
present.
Closes#13625
This is a bit of an interesting upgrade to LLVM. Upstream LLVM has started using C++11 features, so they require a C++11 compiler to build. I've updated all the bots to have a C++11 compiler, and they appear to be building LLVM successfully:
* Linux bots - I added gcc/g++ 4.7 (good enough)
* Android bots - same as the linux ones
* Mac bots - I installed the most recent command line tools for Lion which gives us clang 3.2, but LLVM wouldn't build unless it was explicitly asked to link to `libc++` instead of `libstdc++`. This involved tweaking `mklldeps.py` and the `configure` script to get things to work out
* Windows bots - mingw-w64 has gcc 4.8.1 which is sufficient for building LLVM (hurray!)
* BSD bots - I updated FreeBSD to 10.0 which brought with it a relevant version of clang.
The largest fallout I've seen so far is that the test suite doesn't work at all on FreeBSD 10. We've already stopped gating on FreeBSD due to #13427 (we used to be on freebsd 9), so I don't think this puts us in too bad of a situation. I will continue to attempt to fix FreeBSD and the breakage on there.
The LLVM update brings with it all of the recently upstreamed LLVM patches. We only have one local patch now which is just an optimization, and isn't required to use upstream LLVM. I want to maintain compatibility with LLVM 3.3 and 3.4 while we can, and this upgrade is keeping us up to date with the 3.5 release. Once 3.5 is release we will in theory no longer require a bundled LLVM.
This comes with a number of fixes to be compatible with upstream LLVM:
* Previously all monomorphizations of "mem::size_of()" would receive the same
symbol. In the past LLVM would silently rename duplicated symbols, but it
appears to now be dropping the duplicate symbols and functions now. The symbol
names of monomorphized functions are now no longer solely based on the type of
the function, but rather the type and the unique hash for the
monomorphization.
* Split stacks are no longer a global feature controlled by a flag in LLVM.
Instead, they are opt-in on a per-function basis through a function attribute.
The rust #[no_split_stack] attribute will disable this, otherwise all
functions have #[split_stack] attached to them.
* The compare and swap instruction now takes two atomic orderings, one for the
successful case and one for the failure case. LLVM internally has an
implementation of calculating the appropriate failure ordering given a
particular success ordering (previously only a success ordering was
specified), and I copied that into the intrinsic translation so the failure
ordering isn't supplied on a source level for now.
* Minor tweaks to LLVM's API in terms of debuginfo, naming, c++11 conventions,
etc.
Part of this required added an override of `fold_type_method` in the
Folder for Ctx impl; it follows the same pattern as `fold_method`.
Also, as a drive-by fix, I moved all of the calls to `folder.new_id`
in syntax::fold's no-op default traversal to really be the first
statement in each function.
* This is to uphold the invariant that `folder.new_id` is always
called first (an unfortunate requirement of the current `ast_map`
code), an invariant that we seemingly were breaking in e.g. the
previous `noop_fold_block`.
* Now it should be easier to see when adding new code that this
invariant must be upheld.
* (note that the breakage in `noop_fold_block` may not have mattered
so much previously, since the only thing that blocks can bind are
lifetimes, which I am only adding support for now.)
Previously, if statements of the form "Foo;" or "let _ = Foo;" were encountered
where Foo had a destructor, the destructors were not run. This changes
the relevant locations in trans to check for ty::type_needs_drop and invokes
trans_to_lvalue instead of trans_into.
