`String::push(&mut self, ch: char)` currently has a single code path that calls `Char::encode_utf8`. This adds a fast path for ASCII `char`s, which are represented as a single byte in UTF-8.
Benchmarks of stage1 libcollections at the intermediate commit show that the fast path very significantly improves the performance of repeatedly pushing an ASCII `char`, but does not significantly affect the performance for a non-ASCII `char` (where the fast path is not taken).
```
bench_push_char_one_byte 59552 ns/iter (+/- 2132) = 167 MB/s
bench_push_char_one_byte_with_fast_path 6563 ns/iter (+/- 658) = 1523 MB/s
bench_push_char_two_bytes 71520 ns/iter (+/- 3541) = 279 MB/s
bench_push_char_two_bytes_with_slow_path 71452 ns/iter (+/- 4202) = 279 MB/s
bench_push_str_one_byte 38910 ns/iter (+/- 2477) = 257 MB/s
```
A benchmark of pushing a one-byte-long `&str` is added for comparison, but its performance [has varied a lot lately](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/19640#issuecomment-67741561). (When the input is fixed, `s.push_str("x")` could be used just as well as `s.push('x')`.)
This patch marks `clone` stable, as well as the `Clone` trait, but
leaves `clone_from` unstable. The latter will be decided by the beta.
The patch also marks most manual implementations of `Clone` as stable,
except where the APIs are otherwise deprecated or where there is
uncertainty about providing `Clone`.

This patch finalizes stabilization for the `cell` module, settling on
the current names `Cell`, `RefCell`, `UnsafeCell`, `Ref` and `RefMut`.
While we had considered improving these names, no one was able to
produce a truly compelling alternative.
There is one substantive change here: the `get` method of `UnsafeSell`
is now marked `unsafe`. Merely getting a raw pointer to the contents is
not, by itself, an unsafe operation. (Consider that you can always
safely turn a reference into a raw pointer, and that raw pointer may
then be aliased by subsequent references.)

This small patch stabilizes the names of all integer modules (including
`int` and `uint`) and the `MIN` and `MAX` constants. The `BITS` and
`BYTES` constants are left unstable for now.

Back when for-loop iteration variables were just de-sugared into `let` bindings, debuginfo for them was created like for any other `let` binding. When the implementation approach for for-loops changed, we ceased having debuginfo for the iteration variable. This PR fixes this omission and adds a more prominent test case for it.
Also contains some minor, general cleanup of the debuginfo module.
Fixes#19732
This commit modifies rustdoc to not require these empty modules to be public in
the standard library. The modules still remain as a location to attach
documentation to, but the modules themselves are now private (don't have to
commit to an API). The documentation for the standard library now shows all of
the primitive types on the main index page.
The current indentation level would indicate that Boolean literals are on the same level as Integer and Float literals under Number literals, unindenting moves it to the same scope as Character and string literals, Byte and byte string literals, and Number literals under Literals.
This removes the type SetAlgebraItems and replaces it with the
structs Intersection and Difference.
Rename the existing HashSet iterators according to RFC #344:
* SetItems -> Iter
* SetMoveItems -> IntoIter
* Remaining set combination iterators renamed to Union and SymmetricDifference
This brings over some changes from [rustc-serialize](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-serialize). It makes sense to keep the two in sync until we finally remove libserialize, just to make sure they don't diverge from each other.
There is currently no way to specify the stability level for a trait
impl produced by `deriving`. This patch is a stopgap solution that:
* Turns of stability inheritance for trait impls, and
* Uses the stability level of the *trait* if no level is directly
specified.
That is, manual trait impls may still provide a directly stability
level, but `deriving` will use the level of the trait. While not a
perfect solution, it should be good enough for 1.0 API stabilization, as
we will like *remove* any unwanted impls outright.

TL;DR I wrongly implemented these two ops, namely `"prefix" + "suffix".to_string()` gives back `"suffixprefix"`. Let's remove them.
The correct implementation of these operations (`lhs.clone().push_str(rhs.as_slice())`) is really wasteful, because the lhs has to be cloned and the rhs gets moved/consumed just to be dropped (no buffer reuse). For this reason, I'd prefer to drop the implementation instead of fixing it. This leaves us with the fact that you'll be able to do `String + &str` but not `&str + String`, which may be unexpected.

Closes#19952
This commit, like the second pass of `Option`, largely just stablizes the
existing functionality after renaming a few iterators.
The specific actions taken were:
* The `Ok` and `Err` variants were marked `#[stable]` as the stability
inheritance was since removed.
* The `as_mut` method is now stable.
* The `map` method is now stable
* The `map_err` method is now stable
* The `iter`, `iter_mut`, and `into_iter` methods now returned structures named
after the method of iteration. The methods are also now all stable.
* The `and_then` method is now stable.
* The `or_else` method is now stable.
* The `unwrap` family of functions are now all stable: `unwrap_or`,
`unwrap_or_else`, `unwrap`, and `unwrap_err`.
There is a possible open extension to `Result::{and, and_then}` to make the
return type further generic over `FromError` (as proposed in #19078), but this
is a backwards compatible change due to the usage of default type parameters,
which makes the two functions safe to stabilize now regardless of the outcome of
that issue.
First attempt to contribute to rust (and using github). This commit adds a few examples to std::io::TempDir. The examples seem to look okay (in my browser) and make check also passes.
#16081 fixed an issue where a nested return statement would cause incorrect behaviour due to the inner return writing over the return stack slot that had already been written too. However, the check was very broad and picked many cases that wouldn't ever be affected by this issue.
As a result, the number of allocas increased dramatically and therefore stack-size increased. LLVM is not able to remove all of the extraneous allocas. Any code that had multiple return values in a compound expression at the end of a function (including loops) would be hit by the issue.
The check now uses a control-flow graph to only consider the case when the inner return is executed conditionally. By itself, this narrowed definition causes #15763 to return, so the control-flow graph is also used to avoid passing the return slot as a destination when the result won't be used.
This change allows the stack-size of the main rustc task to be reduced to 8MB from 32MB.
