This uses quite a bit of unsafe code for speed and failure safety, and allocates `2*n` temporary storage.
[Performance](https://gist.github.com/huonw/5547f2478380288a28c2):
| n | new | priority_queue | quick3 |
|-------:|---------:|---------------:|---------:|
| 5 | 200 | 155 | 106 |
| 100 | 6490 | 8750 | 5810 |
| 10000 | 1300000 | 1790000 | 1060000 |
| 100000 | 16700000 | 23600000 | 12700000 |
| sorted | 520000 | 1380000 | 53900000 |
| trend | 1310000 | 1690000 | 1100000 |
(The times are in nanoseconds, having subtracted the set-up time (i.e. the `just_generate` bench target).)
I imagine that there is still significant room for improvement, particularly because both priority_queue and quick3 are doing a static call via `Ord` or `TotalOrd` for the comparisons, while this is using a (boxed) closure.
Also, this code does not `clone`, unlike `quick_sort3`; and is stable, unlike both of the others.
Trap the io_error condition so that a more informative error message is
displayed when the linker program cannot be started, such as when the
name of the linker binary is accidentally mistyped.
closes#10755
Upon inspecting the core dumps, they're all segfaulting at the same instruction
with the same value in a register that looks fishy. It appears to be indexing
into an array with a -1 index and then getting some weird overflow and dying.
I have attempted to fix this as part of
alexcrichton/libuv@fd5308383c,
but I am unsure of whether this is the actual cause of the problem, so I am not
going to upstream it just yet. I have a fairly high confidence that this is
indeed the problem, but I want to make sure that the bots to segfault all over
the place before upstreaming.

3 minor clean-ups now that #9629 is fixed:
* Update MutChunkIter to remove the ```remainder``` that existed just to allow the size_hint() method to be implemented. This is no longer necessary since we can just access the length of the slice directly.
* Update MutSplitIterator to address the FIXME in its size_hint() method. This method was only partially implemented due to the issue. Also, implement a minor optimization in the case that its the last iteration.
* Update ByRef iterator to implement the size_hint() method.
I noticed that MutSplitIterator returns an empty slice if called on an empty slice. I don't know if this is intended or not, but I left the ```finished``` field in-place to preserve this behavior.

Update the next() method to just return self.v in the case that we've reached
the last element that the iterator will yield. This produces equivalent
behavior as before, but without the cost of updating the field.
Update the size_hint() method to return a better hint now that #9629 is fixed.
Right now the --crate-id and related flags are all process *after* the entire
crate is parsed. This is less than desirable when used with makefiles because it
means that just to learn the output name of the crate you have to parse the
entire crate (unnecessary).
This commit changes the behavior to lift the handling of these flags much sooner
in the compilation process. This allows us to not have to parse the entire crate
and only have to worry about parsing the crate attributes themselves. The
related methods have all been updated to take an array of attributes rather than
a crate.
Additionally, this ceases duplication of the "what output are we producing"
logic in order to correctly handle things in the case of --test.
Finally, this adds tests for all of this functionality to ensure that it does
not regress.
We decided in the 12/10/13 weekly meeting that trailing commas should be
accepted pretty much anywhere. They are currently not allowed in struct
patterns, and this commit adds support for that.
Closes#10392

We were previously reading metadata via `ar p`, but as learned from rustdoc
awhile back, spawning a process to do something is pretty slow. Turns out LLVM
has an Archive class to read archives, but it cannot write archives.
This commits adds bindings to the read-only version of the LLVM archive class
(with a new type that only has a read() method), and then it uses this class
when reading the metadata out of rlibs. When you put this in tandem of not
compressing the metadata, reading the metadata is 4x faster than it used to be
The timings I got for reading metadata from the respective libraries was:
libstd-04ff901e-0.9-pre.dylib => 100ms
libstd-04ff901e-0.9-pre.rlib => 23ms
librustuv-7945354c-0.9-pre.dylib => 4ms
librustuv-7945354c-0.9-pre.rlib => 1ms
librustc-5b94a16f-0.9-pre.dylib => 87ms
librustc-5b94a16f-0.9-pre.rlib => 35ms
libextra-a6ebb16f-0.9-pre.dylib => 63ms
libextra-a6ebb16f-0.9-pre.rlib => 15ms
libsyntax-2e4c0458-0.9-pre.dylib => 86ms
libsyntax-2e4c0458-0.9-pre.rlib => 22ms
In order to always take advantage of these faster metadata read-times, I sort
the files in filesearch based on whether they have an rlib extension or not
(prefer all rlib files first).
Overall, this halved the compile time for a `fn main() {}` crate from 0.185s to
0.095s on my system (when preferring dynamic linking). Reading metadata is still
the slowest pass of the compiler at 0.035s, but it's getting pretty close to
linking at 0.021s! The next best optimization is to just not copy the metadata
from LLVM because that's the most expensive part of reading metadata right now.

very small runs.
This uses a lot of unsafe code for speed, otherwise we would be having
to sort by sorting lists of indices and then do a pile of swaps to put
everything in the correct place.
Fixes#9819.
Now that the metadata is an owned value with a lifetime of a borrowed byte
slice, it's possible to have future optimizations where the metadata doesn't
need to be copied around (very expensive operation).

Anchoring the keyword as the first non-whitespace on a line may mean
that the occasional genuine-but-unconventionally-formatted tag is
missed, but it avoids a large number of false positives.
I changed the type descriptive texts about a bit too. That part's purely
cosmetic.
I also changed the ignored file list to use a filename matching the make
rule, `TAGS.vi` instead of `TAGS.vim`.
