please note the snapshot-waiting unpleasantness. I'm
unable to use the traditional #[cfg(stage0)] mechanism
to swap the new style in for later compiler stages,
because macros invocations in method positions cause
the parser to choke before cfg can strip it out.
Parenthetical note: this problem wouldn't arise with
an interleaved parsing/expansion....
This change propagates to many locations, but because of the
Macro Exterminator (or, more properly, the invariant that it
protects), macro invocations can't occur downstream of expansion.
This means that in librustc and librustdoc, extracting the
desired field can simply assume that it can't be a macro
invocation. Functions in ast_util abstract over this check.
Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains
a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code
where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically---
a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation
to some really nasty bugs.
This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident
and a span.
The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.
This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

`#[inline(never)]` is used.

This can break some code that relied on the addresses of statics
being distinct; add `#[inline(never)]` to the affected statics.

This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.

RFC #27.
After a snapshot, the old syntax will be removed.
This can break some code that looked like `foo as &Trait:Send`. Now you
will need to write `foo as (&Trait+Send)`.
Closes#12778.

All of these features have been obsolete since February 2014, where most have
been obsolete since 2013. There shouldn't be any more need to keep around the
parser hacks after this length of time.
Integers are always parsed as a u64 in libsyntax, but they're stored as i64. The
parser and pretty printer both printed an i64 instead of u64, sometimes
introducing an extra negative sign.
for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

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.
r? @alexcrichton
it reflected the obsolete syntax `use a, b, c;` and did not make
past the parser (though it was a non-fatal error so we can continue).
this legacy affected many portions of rustc and rustdoc as well,
so this commit cleans them up altogether.

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.

libstd: Implement `StrBuf`, a new string buffer type like `Vec`, and port all code over to use it.
Rebased & tests-fixed version of https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13269
This change is in preparation for #8122. Nothing is currently done with these
visibility qualifiers, they are just parsed and accepted by the compiler.
RFC: 0004-private-fields
Some types of error are caused by missing lifetime parameter on function
or method declaration. In such cases, this commit generates some
suggestion about what the function declaration could be. This does not
support method declaration yet.
There is a broader revision (that does this across the board) pending
in #12675, but that is awaiting the arrival of more data (to decide
whether to keep OptVec alive by using a non-Vec internally).
For this code, the representation of lifetime lists needs to be the
same in both ScopeChain and in the ast and ty structures. So it
seemed cleanest to just use `vec_ng::Vec`, now that it has a cheaper
empty representation than the current `vec` code.
