This is a [breaking-change]. When indexing a generic map (hashmap, etc) using the `[]` operator, it is now necessary to borrow explicitly, so change `map[key]` to `map[&key]` (consistent with the `get` routine). However, indexing of string-valued maps with constant strings can now be written `map["abc"]`.

This commit implements [RFC 909](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/909):
The `std::thread_local` module is now deprecated, and its contents are
available directly in `std::thread` as `LocalKey`, `LocalKeyState`, and
`ScopedKey`.
The macros remain exactly as they were, which means little if any code
should break. Nevertheless, this is technically a:

Closes#23547
This small commit stabilizes the `Error` trait as-is, except that `Send`
and `Debug` are added as constraints. The `Send` constraint is because
most uses of `Error` will be for trait objects, and by default we would
like these objects to be transferrable between threads. The `Debug`
constraint is to ensure that e.g. `Box<Error>` is `Debug`, and because
types that implement `Display` should certainly implement `Debug` in any case.
In the near future we expect to add `Any`-like downcasting features to
`Error`, but this is waiting on some additional
mechanisms (`Reflect`). It will be added before 1.0 via default methods.

Greetings Rustaceans!
I've just been getting acquainted with Rust through the guide. First let me say that it's already in great shape, chapters are kept a good length to be digestible and paced to move the reader along fluidly, so my compliments to contributors!
Along the way I noticed a few minor copy errors, and also a few areas that I thought more subjectively could stand to be improved. My commits here are divided so that minor edits unlikely to be very contentious could be cherry-picked, and then topically on parts that might generate more discussion.
I also have some comments and questions that aren't directly associated with any changes on this branch yet. I'm not sure how you like to triage this sort of thing but I'll present them below and if it's appropriate they could be moved to separate issues or I might be able to help work some of them out within the scope of this PR. Sorry that these are a lot to take in, pretty much everything below here can be digested independently of the current changes in this PR so you could read the rest later 😄
### Questions and Comments
I'll give stable links to doc revisions as of this writing.
1. The [example using `PartialEq` in the Traits chapter][1] is poor—we have no idea how `PartialEq` works at this point in the text (or at any point, AFAICT), so it isn't clear why it won't work as a trait bound in this situation and `Float` almost magically does, with the aid of existing tailor-made identity functions that seem unlikely to be so conveniently available when we encounter a scenario like this in our real-world code.
This section just seems glossed over, or perhaps content has moved around over time or there's an assumption that implementing equality with `PartialEq` should be covered in the guide eventually so this example will be less foreign. As it stands the text is hard to follow and not very meaningful.
2. I found treatment of the relationship of trait objects to pointers in the *Static and Dynamic Dispatch* chapter unclear. [The "Why Pointers?" section][2] opens with this line:
> The use of language like "fat pointer" implies that a trait object is always a pointer of some form, but why?
But the phrase "fat pointer" hasn't been used anywhere before. This is some of the more complex material in the guide, but this section nevertheless feels displaced, not clearly connecting preceding subject matter. Earlier we've covered the internal representation of trait objects and significance of pointers they contain, but it hasn't been spelled out (other than what `&Foo` syntax suggests) that trait objects are references (and why). That's what the "Why Pointers?" section is aiming to do I gather, but it seems out of place, I think it'd make more sense to cover this before the gory details of their internals.
3. Suggestion: move the *Error Handling* chapter much earlier in the Intermediate section of the guide, or even into the Basics section. I know the Intermediate section isn't intended to be read in order per se, but plenty of people like me are just going to read it straight through anyway 😁 These are pretty fundamental concepts to understand and `Option`, `Result`, and idioms like `unwrap()` and `.ok().expect()` are referenced numerous times throughout the rest of the guide. They feature pretty prominently as early as *Standard Input* and *Guessing Game* chapters in Basics, in fact. I happen to have a good understanding of these already through encountering their analogs in typed functional languages, but if I didn't I believe I really would have appreciated reading *Error Handling* much earlier.
4. In the `rustdoc` chapter, a [comment at the beginning of the first source example][3] refers to a "link" crate attribute being needed. There seems to be no such attribute present in the source. I believe this refers to `crate_type` [according to the reference][4], but it'd be nice if this example were updated/clarified (I think `crate_id` is deprecated/obsolete too).
This brings me to a related comment also: after encountering crate attributes in the reference and also docs on Cargo configuration like `crate-type = ["dylib"]`, I'm uncertain about the relationship/redundancy between these. I'm sure this is the kind of thing where docs are simply struggling to keep pace with rapid changes in Rust and Cargo, just wanted to flag that this distinction ought to be clearly covered in the docs for one or the other at some point, it's presently hard to track down.
5. Minor: link to sample editor configurations in [the introductory chapter][5] is broken, probably the generator automatically translates `.md` links to `.html`. Perhaps it shouldn't do that for absolute URLs.
6. Following from my changes to the enums coverage in [*Compound Data Types*][6] in this PR: sum types are an important topic and I tried to make some improvements, but I think the motivating example of `Character` with `Digit(i32)` and `Other` variants is a pretty weak one, and a better example could greatly improve cohesion with the `Ordering` coverage later in the section and how that ties into pattern matching in the subsequent chapter. I just haven't thought of a better example to suggest yet.
In particular, the text states:
> This may seem rather limiting, but it's a limitation which we can overcome.
This is referring to `Character`, and actually to more than one limitation: the preceding admonition that its variants aren't comparable/don't have ordering, and don't support binary operators like `*` and `+`. Overcoming these limitations actually never gets explained—we next cover how `Ordering` works as an enum itself for plain `i32`s, but never get around to showing how this might be applied to our `Digit` variant type.
Since the coverage of enums already segues into pattern matching and this could be even tighter with a stronger example, it might be nice if our example enum were somehow connected to the final example program for the Basics section too, where `Ordering` reappears. I don't see how it would fit with the current guessing game example, but food for thought.
7. `#[derive]` seems conspicuously missing from the guide. It would probably make sense to introduce after showing simple examples of implementing equality and/or ordering traits by hand, which have been mentioned as possibilities above. Perhaps it's too much to breach this as early as the Basic section though without traits being introduced. `#[derive]` itself and the derivable traits can certainly be saved for Intermediate and referenced as covered later, in any case.

This commit enables writing a stable implementation of the `Hasher` trait as
well as actually calculating the hash of a vlaue in a stable fashion. The
signature is stabilized as-is.
This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

This commit marks as `#[stable]` the `Entry` types for the maps provided

contains ref-bindings, do not permit any upcasting from the type of
the value being matched. Similarly, do not permit coercion in a `let`.
This is a [breaking-change] in that it closes a type hole that
previously existed, and in that coercion is not performed. You should
be able to work around the latter by converting:
```rust
let ref mut x: T = expr;
```
into
```rust
let x: T = expr;
let ref mut x = x;
```
Restricting coercion not to apply in the case of `let ref` or `let ref mut` is sort
of unexciting to me, but seems the best solution:
1. Mixing coercion and `let ref` or `let ref mut` is a bit odd, because you are taking
the address of a (coerced) temporary, but only sometimes. It's not syntactically evident,
in other words, what's going on. When you're doing a coercion, you're kind of
2. Put another way, I would like to preserve the relationship that
`equality <= subtyping <= coercion <= as-coercion`, where this is
an indication of the number of `(T1,T2)` pairs that are accepted by
the various relations. Trying to mix `let ref mut` and coercion
would create another kind of relation that is like coercion, but
acts differently in the case where a precise match is needed.
3. In any case, this is strictly more conservative than what we had
before and we can undo it in the future if we find a way to make
coercion mix with type equality.
The change to match I feel ok about but similarly unthrilled. There is
some subtle text already concerning whether to use eqtype or subtype
for identifier bindings. The best fix I think would be to always have
match use strict equality but use subtyping on identifier bindings,
but the comment `(*)` explains why that's not working at the moment.
As above, I think we can change this as we clean up the code there.

For the rust-call ABI, the last function argument is a tuple that gets
untupled for the actual call. For bare functions using this ABI, the
code has access to the tuple, so we need to tuple the arguments again.
But closures can't actually access the tuple. Their arguments map to the
elements in the tuple. So what we currently do is to tuple the arguments
and then immediately untuple them again, which is pretty useless and we
can just omit it.
After this patch code like `let ref a = *"abcdef"` doesn't cause ICE anymore.
Required for #23121
There are still places in rustc_trans where pointers are always assumed to be thin. In particular, #19064 is not resolved by this patch.
There have been some recent panics on the bots and this commit is an attempt to
appease them. Previously it was considered invalid to run `rt::at_exit` after
the handlers had already started running. Due to the multithreaded nature of
applications, however, it is not always possible to guarantee this. For example
[this program][ex] will show off the abort.
[ex]: https://gist.github.com/alexcrichton/56300b87af6fa554e52d
The semantics of the `rt::at_exit` function have been modified as such:
* It is now legal to call `rt::at_exit` at any time. The return value now
indicates whether the closure was successfully registered or not. Callers must
now decide what to do with this information.
* The `rt::at_exit` handlers will now be run for a fixed number of iterations.
Common cases (such as the example shown) may end up registering a new handler
while others are running perhaps once or twice, so this common condition is
covered by re-running the handlers a fixed number of times, after which new
registrations are forbidden.
Some usage of `rt::at_exit` was updated to handle these new semantics, but
deprecated or unstable libraries calling `rt::at_exit` were not updated.
The method with which backwards compatibility was retained ended up leading to
documentation that rustdoc didn't handle well and largely ended up confusing.
Boolean values and small aggregates have a different type in
args/allocas than in SSA values but the intrinsics for volatile and
atomic ops were missing the necessary casts to handle that.

When investigating #22518, this chapter is really the only part that has `rand`, and the rest still works without it. We should have some examples like this, but for now, it's more important to be right than perfect.
This includes a slight refactoring of the `cast_shift_rhs` and related
functions in `trans::base`, so that I can call them from much later in
the compiler's control flow (so that we can clearly dilineate where
automatic conversions of the RHS occur, versus where we check it).
The rhs-checking and fallback-masking is generalized to 8- and 16-bit
values, and the fallback-masking is turned on unconditionally.

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`.

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 is probably more broadly applicable than these two platforms
(since it's part of the bsd4.4 standard) but that's outside my problem domain today.
If this goes well, I may submit Linux/64 support in a separate PR.
Reviewers should take a look at http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-792.17.14/bsd/sys/socket.h?txt
which defines constants for OSX. iOS uses the same header.
I release this patch under the MIT license.
This commit marks as `#[stable]` the `Entry` types for the maps provided
by `std`. The main reason these had been left unstable previously was
uncertainty about an eventual trait design, but several plausible
designs have been proposed that all work fine with the current type definitions.
I often have to run `ast-json` or look into the pretty-printer source to figure out what the fields of an AST enum mean. I've tried to document most of what I know (and some semi-obvious stuff).

Require braces when a closure has an explicit return type. This is a [breaking-change]: instead of a closure like `|| -> i32 22`, prefer `|| -> i32 { 22 }`.

The IP and socket address types all had `FromStr` implemented but the
implementations were not marked stable, nor was the error type returned ready to
be properly stabilized.
This commit marks the implementations of `FromStr` as stable and also renamed
the `ParseError` structure to `AddrParseError`. The error is now also an opaque
structure that cannot be constructed outside the standard library.

Nothing inside of the read/write interface itself can panic, so any
poison must have been the result of user code which the lock isn't
protecting.
This seems safe to me, but if we don't want to go this route we should update the docs to indicate that these methods can panic.

This commit stabilizes the `cloned` iterator after tweaking the signature to
require that the iterator is over `&T` instead of `U: Deref<T>`. This method has
had time to bake for awhile now and it's not clear whether the `Deref` bound is
worth it. Additionally, there aren't clear conventions on when to bound and/or
implement the `Deref` trait, so for now the conservative route is to require
references instead of `U: Deref<T>`.
To change this signature to using `Deref` would technically be a
backwards-incompatible change, but it is doubtful that any code will actually
break in practice.

This upcast coercion currently never requires vtable changes. It should be generalized.
This is a [breaking-change] -- if you have an impl on an object type like `impl SomeTrait`, then this will no longer be applicable to object types like `SomeTrait+Send`. In the standard library, this primarily affected `Any`, and this PR adds impls for `Any+Send` as to keep the API the same in practice. An alternate workaround is to use UFCS form or standalone fns. For more details, see <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/18737#issuecomment-78450798>.

This upcast coercion currently preserves the vtable for the object, but

This removes the error case of the compression functions, the only errors that
can occur are incorrect parameters or an out-of-memory condition, both of which
are handled with panics in Rust.
Also introduces an extensible `Error` type instead of returning an `Option`.
The type implements a destructor so you can't destructure it.
- Allow inherent implementations on `char`, `str`, `[T]`, `*const T`, `*mut T` and all the numeric primitives.
- copy `unicode::char::CharExt` methods into `impl char`
- remove `unicode::char::CharExt`, its re-export `std::char::CharExt` and `CharExt` from the prelude
- copy `collections::str::StrExt` methods into `impl str`

- move `collections` tests into its own crate: `collectionstest`
- copy `core::num::Float` methods into `impl f{32,64}`
Because this PR removes several traits, this is a [breaking-change], however functionality remains unchanged and breakage due to unresolved imports should be minimal. If you encounter an error due to an unresolved import, simply remove the import:
``` diff
fn main() {
- use std::num::UnsignedInt; //~ error: unresolved import `std::num::UnsignedInt`.

This commit performs a stabilization pass over the std::net module,
incorporating the changes from RFC 923. Specifically, the following actions were
taken:
Stable functionality:
* `net` (the name)
* `Shutdown`
* `Shutdown::{Read, Write, Both}`
* `lookup_host`
* `LookupHost`
* `SocketAddr`
* `SocketAddr::{V4, V6}`
* `SocketAddr::port`
* `SocketAddrV4`
* `SocketAddrV4::{new, ip, port}`
* `SocketAddrV6`
* `SocketAddrV4::{new, ip, port, flowinfo, scope_id}`
* Common trait impls for socket addr structures
* `ToSocketAddrs`
* `ToSocketAddrs::Iter`
* `ToSocketAddrs::to_socket_addrs`
* `ToSocketAddrs for {SocketAddr*, (Ipv*Addr, u16), str, (str, u16)}`
* `Ipv4Addr`
* `Ipv4Addr::{new, octets, to_ipv6_compatible, to_ipv6_mapped}`
* `Ipv6Addr`
* `Ipv6Addr::{new, segments, to_ipv4}`
* `TcpStream`
* `TcpStream::connect`

* `{Read,Write} for {TcpStream, &TcpStream}`
* `TcpListener`
* `TcpListener::bind`
* `TcpListener::{local_addr, try_clone, accept, incoming}`
* `Incoming`
* `UdpSocket`
* `UdpSocket::bind`
* `UdpSocket::{recv_from, send_to, local_addr, try_clone}`
Unstable functionality:
* Extra methods on `Ipv{4,6}Addr` for various methods of inspecting the address
and determining qualities of it.
* Extra methods on `TcpStream` to configure various protocol options.
* Extra methods on `UdpSocket` to configure various protocol options.
Deprecated functionality:
* The `socket_addr` method has been renamed to `local_addr`
This commit is a breaking change due to the restructuring of the `SocketAddr`
type as well as the renaming of the `socket_addr` method. Migration should be
fairly straightforward, however, after accounting for the new level of
abstraction in `SocketAddr` (protocol distinction at the socket address level,
not the IP address).

`std::io` does not currently expose the `stdin_raw`, `stdout_raw`, or

platform-specific `std::os::{unix,windows}` modules. At the moment we
don't expose any way to do this. As such, delete all mention of the
`*_raw` functions from the `stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr` function
documentation.
While we're at it, remove a few `pub`s from items that aren't exposed.
This is done just to lessen the confusion experienced by anyone who
looks at the source in an attempt to find the `*_raw` functions.
It is a frequent pattern among I/O functions to take `P: AsPath + ?Sized` or
`AsOsStr` instead of `AsPath`. Most of these functions do not need to take
ownership of their argument, but for libraries in general it's much more
ergonomic to not deal with `?Sized` at all and simply require an argument `P`
instead of `&P`.
This change is aimed at removing unsightly `?Sized` bounds while retaining the
same level of usability as before. All affected functions now take ownership of
their arguments instead of taking them by reference, but due to the forwarding
implementations of `AsOsStr` and `AsPath` all code should continue to work as it
did before.
This is strictly speaking a breaking change due to the signatures of these
functions changing, but normal idiomatic usage of these APIs should not break in
practice.

I've described my approach here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/658#issuecomment-76484200. I'll copy the text in here as well:

Hi, it took me longer than I wished, but I have implemented this in a not-too-complex way that I think can be extended to support more complex features (like the ones mentioned [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/12866#issuecomment-66945317)).
The idea is to generate a JSON representation of the types of methods/functions in the existing index, and then make the JS understand when it should look by type (and not by name).
I tried to come up with a JSON representation that can be extended to support generics, bounds, ref/mut annotations and so on. Here are a few samples:
Function:
```rust
fn to_uppercase(c: char) -> char
```
```json
{
"inputs": [
{"name": "char"}
],
"output": {
"name": "char",
}
}
```
Method (implemented or defined in trait):
```rust
// in struct Vec
// self is considered an argument as well
fn capacity(&self) -> usize
```
```json
{
"inputs": [
{"name": "vec"}
],
"output": {
"name": "usize"
}
}
```
This simple format can be extended by adding more fields, like `generic: bool`, a `bounds` mapping and so on.
I have a working implementation in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/compare/master...mihneadb:rustdoc-search-by-type. You can check out a live demo [here](http://data.mihneadb.net/doc/std/index.html?search=charext%20-%3E%20char).
The feature list is not that long:
- search by types (you *can* use generics as well, as long as you use the exact name - e.g. [`vec,t -> `](http://data.mihneadb.net/doc/std/index.html?search=vec%2C%20t%20-%3E))
- order of arguments does not matter
- `self` is took into account as well (e.g. search for `vec -> usize`)
- does not use "complex" annotations (e.g. you don't search for `&char -> char` but for `char -> char`)
My goal is to get a working, minimal "base" merged so that others can build upon it. How should I proceed? Do I open a PR (badly in need of code review since this is my first non "hello world"-ish rust code)?

In case that there is a destination for the array, like in
"let x = [expr; n]", we currently don't evaluate the given expression if
n is zero. That's inconsistent with all other cases, including "[expr;
0]" without a destination.
