Move the computation of what data is moved out of `liveness` and into `borrowck`. The resulting code is cleaner, since before we had a split distribution of responsibilities, and also this avoids having multiple implementations of the dataflow code. Liveness is still used to report warnings about useless writes. This will go away when we get the control-flow graph code landed (working on that).
Also adds borrow checker documentation.
Fixes#4384.
Required to support once fns and to properly fix closures (#2202).
First step to generalize our treatment of moves somewhat as well.
Refactor the optimization passes to explicitly use the passes. This commit just re-implements the same passes as were already being run.
It also adds an option (behind `-Z`) to run the LLVM lint pass on the unoptimized IR.
This should close#2812. It is also the first step towards #2396
----------------
This is pretty much just an initial "get it out there" PR. With finer control over the optimization passes coming later. I also just blindly copied the passes we were already doing, so there could almost certainly be some more work in paring it down.
The other thing is the addition of the `mergefunctions` pass, which is currently enabled at `--opt-level=3` and does have a small impact on the code size. However the fact that it is at the end of the optimization pipeline is probably not ideal, so some more experimentation is in order.
This way a cross-compiled rustc's answer to host_triple() is correct. The return
value of host_triple() reflects the actual host triple that the compiler was
build for, not the triple the compiler is being built on

Previously, FromBase64 was only implemented on ~[u8] and ~str when
any pointer would do. The implementations of FromBase64 are now
consistent with the implementations of ToBase64.
Fix for #6575. In the trans phase, rustc emits code for a function parameter that goes completely unused in the event the return type of the function in question happens to be an immediate.
This patch modifies rustc & parts of rustrt to ensure that the vestigial parameter is no longer present in compiled code.
borrow checker and generalize what moves are allowed. Fixes a nasty
bug or two in the pattern move checking code. Unifies dataflow code
used for initialization and other things. First step towards
once fns. Everybody wins.
Fixes#4384. Fixes#4715. cc once fns (#2202), optimizing local moves (#5016).
This works with pandoc linked against highlighting-kate >= 0.5.3.8. It seems to just be a no-op with earlier versions, because I successfully ran this through `try`.
This also fixes some consistency issues (like making `Example`/`Examples` always a header and always using three tildes).
The compiler guarantees that there are no other references to a unique pointer when it's passed by-value to a function.
The existence of the header and annihilator don't matter since it's not relevant to the call:
> For a call to the parent function, dependencies between memory references from before or after the call and from those during the call are “irrelevant” to the noalias keyword for the arguments and return value used in that call.
@graydon's tracing garbage collector stores the metadata outside of the boxes, so that won't be a problem. I'm unsure if updating the header while inside a function where it's marked as `noalias` would be a problem anyway since you never actually read or write to the header.
@nikomatsakis: r?
* Add a short section and an example illustrating the use of ARC.
* Header for the section of Future changed to be more descriptive: "Backgrounding computations: Futures".
