This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

now have a simple set of trait def-ids. During coherence, we use a
separate table to track the default impls for any given trait so that we
can report a nice error. This fixes various bugs in the metadata
encoding that led to `ty::trait_has_default_impl` yielding the wrong
values in the cross-crate case. (In particular, default impl def-ids
were not included in the list of all impl def-ids; I debated fixing just
that, but this approach seemed cleaner overall, since we usually treat
the "defaulted" bit on traits as being a property of the trait, and now
iterating over a list of impls doesn't intermingle default impls with
normal impls.)
us to construct trait-references and do other things without forcing a
full evaluation of the supertraits. One downside of this scheme is that
we must invoke `ensure_super_predicates` before using any construct that
might require knowing about the super-predicates.
This allows to create proper debuginfo line information for items inlined from other crates (e.g. instantiations of generics).
Only the codemap's 'metadata' is stored in a crate's metadata. That is, just filename, line-beginnings, etc. but not the actual source code itself. We are thus missing the opportunity of making Rust the first "open-source-only" programming language out there. Pity.
This avoids a biggish eight-byte `tag_table_id` tag in favor of
autoserialized integer tags, which are smaller and can be later
used to encode them in the optimal number of bytes. `NodeId` was
u32 after all.
Previously:
<------------- len1 -------------->
tag_table_* <len1> tag_table_id 88 <nodeid in 8 bytes>
tag_table_val <len2> <actual data>
<-- len2 --->
Now:
<--------------- len --------------->
tag_table_* <len> U32 <nodeid in 4 bytes> <actual data>
EBML tags are encoded in a variable-length unsigned int (vuint),
which is clever but causes some tags to be encoded in two bytes
while there are really about 180 tags or so. Assuming that there
wouldn't be, say, over 1,000 tags in the future, we can use much
more efficient encoding scheme. The new scheme should support
at most 4,096 tags anyway.
This also flattens a scattered tag namespace (did you know that
0xa9 is followed by 0xb0?) and makes a room for autoserialized tags
in 0x00 through 0x1f.
Instead of copy-pasting the whole macro_rules! item from the original .rs file,
we serialize a separate name, attributes list, and body, the latter as
pretty-printed TTs. The compilation of macro_rules! macros is decoupled
somewhat from the expansion of macros in item position.
This filters out comments, and facilitates selective imports.
in most cases, just the error message changed, but in some cases we
are reporting new errors that OUGHT to have been reported before but
we're overlooked (mostly involving the `'static` bound on `Send`).
This change makes the compiler no longer infer whether types (structures
and enumerations) implement the `Copy` trait (and thus are implicitly
copyable). Rather, you must implement `Copy` yourself via `impl Copy for
MyType {}`.
A new warning has been added, `missing_copy_implementations`, to warn
you if a non-generic public type has been added that could have
implemented `Copy` but didn't.
For convenience, you may *temporarily* opt out of this behavior by using
`#![feature(opt_out_copy)]`. Note though that this feature gate will never be
accepted and will be removed by the time that 1.0 is released, so you should
transition your code away from using it.
This breaks code like:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
Change this code to:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
impl Copy for Point2D {}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
This is the backwards-incompatible part of #13231.

This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}
```

methods.
This paves the way to associated items by introducing an extra level of
abstraction ("impl-or-trait item") between traits/implementations and
methods. This new abstraction is encoded in the metadata and used
throughout the compiler where appropriate.
There are no functional changes; this is purely a refactoring.
This patch primarily does two things: (1) it prevents lifetimes from
leaking out of unboxed closures; (2) it allows unboxed closure type
notation, call notation, and construction notation to construct closures
matching any of the three traits.
This breaks code that looked like:
let mut f;
{
let x = &5i;
f = |&mut:| *x + 10;
}
Change this code to avoid having a reference escape. For example:
{
let x = &5i;
let mut f; // <-- move here to avoid dangling reference
f = |&mut:| *x + 10;
}
I believe this is enough to consider unboxed closures essentially
implemented. Further issues (for example, higher-rank lifetimes) should
be filed as followups.
Closes#14449.

by-reference upvars.
This partially implements RFC 38. A snapshot will be needed to turn this
on, because stage0 cannot yet parse the keyword.
Part of #12381.
Some minor changes to the compiler to expose this information. Very
inconvenient since struct fields aren't an item. Adds (yet another) table to
metadata.
Closes#15739
This commit removes all support in the compiler for the #[crate_id] attribute
and all of its derivative infrastructure. A list of the functionality removed is:
* The #[crate_id] attribute no longer exists
* There is no longer the concept of a version of a crate
* Version numbers are no longer appended to symbol names
* The --crate-id command line option has been removed
To migrate forward, rename #[crate_id] to #[crate_name] and only the name of the
crate itself should be mentioned. The version/path of the old crate id should be
removed.
For a transitionary state, the #[crate_id] attribute is still accepted if
the #[crate_name] is not present, but it is warned about if it is the only
identifier present.

[breaking-change]
This commit makes several changes to the stability index infrastructure:
* Stability levels are now inherited lexically, i.e., each item's
stability level becomes the default for any nested items.
* The computed stability level for an item is stored as part of the
metadata. When using an item from an external crate, this data is
looked up and cached.
* The stability lint works from the computed stability level, rather
than manual stability attribute annotations. However, the lint still
checks only a limited set of item uses (e.g., it does not check every
component of a path on import). This will be addressed in a later PR,
as part of issue #8962.
* The stability lint only applies to items originating from external
crates, since the stability index is intended as a promise to
downstream crates.
* The "experimental" lint is now _allow_ by default. This is because
almost all existing crates have been marked "experimental", pending
library stabilization. With inheritance in place, this would generate
a massive explosion of warnings for every Rust program.
The lint should be changed back to deny-by-default after library
stabilization is complete.
* The "deprecated" lint still warns by default.
The net result: we can begin tracking stability index for the standard
libraries as we stabilize, without impacting most clients.
Closes#13540.

This involves numerous substeps:
1. Treat Self same as any other parameter.
2. No longer compute offsets for method parameters.
3. Store all generic types (both trait/impl and method) with a method,
eliminating odd discrepancies.
4. Stop doing unspeakable things to static methods and instead just use
the natural types, now that we can easily add the type parameters from
trait into the method's polytype.
5. No doubt some more. It was hard to separate these into distinct commits.
Fixes#13564
All rust functions are internal implementation details with respect to the ABI
exposed by crates, but extern fns are public components of the ABI and shouldn't
be stripped. This commit serializes reachable extern fns to metadata, so when
LTO is performed all of their symbols are not stripped.
Closes#14500
This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more
details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord}
or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}.

This commit is part of the ongoing libstd facade efforts (cc #13851). The
compiler now recognizes some language items as "extern { fn foo(...); }" and
will automatically perform the following actions:
1. The foreign function has a pre-defined name.
2. The crate and downstream crates can only be built as rlibs until a crate
defines the lang item itself.
3. The actual lang item has a pre-defined name.
This is essentially nicer compiler support for the hokey
core-depends-on-std-failure scheme today, but it is implemented the same way.
The details are a little more hidden under the covers.
In addition to failure, this commit promotes the eh_personality and
rust_stack_exhausted functions to official lang items. The compiler can generate
calls to these functions, causing linkage errors if they are left undefined. The
checking for these items is not as precise as it could be. Crates compiling with
`-Z no-landing-pads` will not need the eh_personality lang item, and crates
compiling with no split stacks won't need the stack exhausted lang item. For
ease, however, these items are checked for presence in all final outputs of the
compiler.
It is quite easy to define dummy versions of the functions necessary:
#[lang = "stack_exhausted"]
extern fn stack_exhausted() { /* ... */ }
#[lang = "eh_personality"]
extern fn eh_personality() { /* ... */ }
cc #11922, rust_stack_exhausted is now a lang item
cc #13851, libcollections is blocked on eh_personality becoming weak
This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes
all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely,
folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate
of each function in the `cast` module.
* transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as
#[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute`
function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment).
For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898
* transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is
is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different
sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This
function is now #[stable]
* forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable]
* bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of
managed boxes as well as its questionable utility.
* transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part
of this commit.
* transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it
can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was
removed.
* transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong
indication that code is incorrect in the first place.
* transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as
`transmute_lifetime`
* copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked
`#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in
the future if it is found to not be very useful.
* copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same
treatment as `copy_lifetime`.
* copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today,
and its existence is not necessary with DST
(copy_lifetime will suffice).
In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the
functions were moved to the `mem` module.
