This is important because the underlying allocator of the `Vec` passes that
information to the deallocator which needs the guarantee that it is the same
parameters that were also passed to the allocation function.
bitv: add larger tests, better benchmarks & remove dead code.
There were no tests for iteration etc. with more than 5 elements,
i.e. not even going beyond a single word. This situation is rectified.
Also, the only benchmarks for `set` were with a constant bit value,
which was not indicative of every situation, due to inlining & branch
removal. This adds a benchmark at the other end of the spectrum: random
input.

As outlined in
https://aturon.github.io/style/naming/conversions.html
`to_` functions names should only be used for expensive operations.
Thus `to_option` is better named `as_option`. Also, putting type
names into method names is considered bad style; what the user is
really trying to get is a reference. This `as_ref` is even better.
Also, we are missing a mutable version of this method. So add a
new trait `RawMutPtr` with a corresponding `as_mut` methode.
Finally, there is a bug in the signature of `to_option` which has
been around since lifetime elision: originally the returned reference
had 'static lifetime, but since the elision changes this become
the lifetime of the raw pointer (which does not make sense, since
the pointer lifetime and referent lifetime are unrelated). Fix
the bug to return a reference with a fresh lifetime (which will
be inferred from the calling context).

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`

1. The internal layout for traits has changed from (vtable, data) to (data, vtable). If you were relying on this in unsafe transmutes, you might get some very weird and apparently unrelated errors. You should not be doing this! Prefer not to do this at all, but if you must, you should use raw::TraitObject rather than hardcoding rustc's internal representation into your code.
2. The minimal type of reference-to-vec-literals (e.g., `&[1, 2, 3]`) is now a fixed size vec (e.g., `&[int, ..3]`) where it used to be an unsized vec (e.g., `&[int]`). If you want the unszied type, you must explicitly give the type (e.g., `let x: &[_] = &[1, 2, 3]`). Note in particular where multiple blocks must have the same type (e.g., if and else clauses, vec elements), the compiler will not coerce to the unsized type without a hint. E.g., `[&[1], &[1, 2]]` used to be a valid expression of type '[&[int]]'. It no longer type checks since the first element now has type `&[int, ..1]` and the second has type &[int, ..2]` which are incompatible.
3. The type of blocks (including functions) must be coercible to the expected type (used to be a subtype). Mostly this makes things more flexible and not less (in particular, in the case of coercing function bodies to the return type). However, in some rare cases, this is less flexible. TBH, I'm not exactly sure of the exact effects. I think the change causes us to resolve inferred type variables slightly earlier which might make us slightly more restrictive. Possibly it only affects blocks with unreachable code. E.g., `if ... { fail!(); "Hello" }` used to type check, it no longer does. The fix is to add a semicolon after the string.
Heapify is O(n), extend as currently implemented is O(nlogn). No brainer.
Currently investigating whether extend can just be implemented as a local heapify.
For crates `alloc`–`collections`. This is mostly just updating a few function/method descriptions to use the indicative style.
cc #4361; I’ve sort of assumed that the third-person indicative style has been decided on, but I could update this to use the imperative style if that’s preferred, or even update this to remove all function-style-related changes. (I think that standardising on one thing, even if it’s not the ‘best’ option, is still better than having no standard at all.) The indicative style seems to be more common in the Rust standard library at the moment, especially in the newer modules (e.g. `collections::vec`), more popular in the discussion about it, and also more popular amongst other languages (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/4361#issuecomment-33470215).
This was bothering me (and some other people). The macro was necessary in a transient step of my development, but I converged on a design where it was unnecessary, but it didn't really click that that had happened.
This fixes it up.
This is very half-baked at the moment and very inefficient, e.g.
inappropriate use of by-value `self` (and thus being forced into an
overuse of `clone`). People get the wrong impression about Rust when
using it, e.g. that Rust cannot express what other languages can because
the implementation is inefficient: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8187831 .
The first commit improves code generation through a few changes:
- The `#[inline]` attributes allow llvm to constant fold the encoding step away in certain situations. For example, code like this changes from a call to `encode_utf8` in a inner loop to the pushing of a byte constant:
```rust
let mut s = String::new();
for _ in range(0u, 21) {
s.push_char('a');
}
```
- Both methods changed their semantic from causing run time failure if the target buffer is not large enough to returning `None` instead. This makes llvm no longer emit code for causing failure for these methods.
- A few debug `assert!()` calls got removed because they affected code generation due to unwinding, and where basically unnecessary with today's sound handling of `char` as a Unicode scalar value.
~~The second commit is optional. It changes the methods from regular indexing with the `dst[i]` syntax to unsafe indexing with `dst.unsafe_mut_ref(i)`. This does not change code generation directly - in both cases llvm is smart enough to see that there can never be an out-of-bounds access. But it makes it emit a `nounwind` attribute for the function.
However, I'm not sure whether that is a real improvement, so if there is any objection to this I'll remove the commit.~~
This changes how the methods behave on a too small buffer, so this is a

declared with the same name in the same scope.
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.
Closes#16464.

- Both can now be inlined and constant folded away
- Both can no longer cause failure
- Both now return an `Option` instead
Removed debug `assert!()`s over the valid ranges of a `char`
- It affected optimizations due to unwinding
- Char handling is now sound enought that they became uneccessary
These are like the existing bsearch methods but if the search fails,
it returns the next insertion point.
The new `binary_search` returns a `BinarySearchResult` that is either
`Found` or `NotFound`. For convenience, the `found` and `not_found`
methods convert to `Option`, ala `Result`.
Deprecate bsearch and bsearch_elem.
This required some contortions because importing both raw::Slice
and slice::Slice makes rustc crash.
Since `Slice` is in the prelude, this renaming is unlikely to
casue breakage.

This does a few things:
- remove references to ~[] and the OwnedVector trait, which are both
obsolete
- correct the docs to say that this is the slice module, not the vec
module
- add a sentence pointing out that vectors are distinct from Vec
- remove documentation on Vec.

This adds a new `Recompositions` iterator, which performs canonical composition on the result of the `Decompositions` iterator (which is canonical or compatibility decomposition). In effect this implements Unicode normalization forms C and KC.
This is an alternative to upgrading the way rvalues are handled in the
borrow check. Making rvalues handled more like lvalues in the borrow
check caused numerous problems related to double mutable borrows and
rvalue scopes. Rather than come up with more borrow check rules to try
to solve these problems, I decided to just forbid pattern bindings after
`@`. This affected fewer than 10 lines of code in the compiler and
libraries.
This breaks code like:
match x {
y @ z => { ... }
}
match a {
b @ Some(c) => { ... }
}
Change this code to use nested `match` or `let` expressions. For
example:
match x {
y => {
let z = y;
...
}
}
match a {
Some(c) => {
let b = Some(c);
...
}
}

Previously the implementation of Hash was limited to tuples of up to arity 8. This increases it to tuples of up to arity 12.
Also, the implementation macro for `Hash` used to expand to something like this:
impl Hash for (a7,)
impl Hash for (a6, a7)
impl Hash for (a5, a6, a7)
...
This style is inconsistent with the implementations in core::tuple, which look like this:
impl Trait for (A,)
impl Trait for (A, B)
impl Trait for (A, B, C)
...
This is perhaps a minor point, but it does mean the documentation pages are inconsistent. Compare the tuple implementations in the documentation for [Hash](http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/std/hash/trait.Hash.html) and [PartialOrd](http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/core/cmp/trait.PartialOrd.html)
This changes the Hash implementation to be consistent with `core::tuple`.
