Regarding the change to librustdoc/lib.rs, to do `map_err` before
unwrapping a `TqskResult`: I do not understand how master is passing
without this change or something like it, since `Box<Any:Send>` does
not implement `Show`. (Is this something that is only a problem for
the snapshot stage0 compiler?) Still, the change I have put in here
(which was added as part of a rebase after alex's review) seems
harmless to me to apply to rustdoc at all stages, since a call to
`unwrap` is just going to `fail!` on the err case anyway.
1. Wherever the `buf` field of a `Formatter` was used, the `Formatter` is used
instead.
2. The usage of `write_fmt` is minimized as much as possible, the `write!` macro
is preferred wherever possible.
3. Usage of `fmt::write` is minimized, favoring the `write!` macro instead.
The goal of this refactoring is to make the rustc driver code easier to understand and use. Since this is as close to an API as we have, I think it is important that it is nice. On getting stuck in, I found that there wasn't as much to change as I'd hoped to make the stage... functions easier to use by tools (which is a good thing :-) ).
This patch only moves code around - mostly just moving code to different files, but a few extracted method refactorings too. To summarise the changes: I added driver::config which handles everything about configuring the compiler. driver::session now just defines and builds session objects. I moved driver code from librustc/lib.rs to librustc/driver/mod.rs so all the code is one place. I extracted methods to make emulating the compiler without being the compiler a little easier. Within the driver directory, I moved code around to more logically fit in the modules.
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.

ty::substs struct. This is a holdover from the olden days of yore. This patch
removes the last vestiges of that practice. This is part of the work
I was doing on #5527.
Previously, the parser would not allow you to simultaneously implement a
function with a different abi as well as being unsafe at the same time. This
extends the parser to allow functions of the form:
unsafe extern fn foo() {
// ...
}
The closure type grammar was also changed to reflect this reversal, types
previously written as "extern unsafe fn()" must now be written as
"unsafe extern fn()". The parser currently has a hack which allows the old
style, but this will go away once a snapshot has landed.

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`.

Currently, rustc requires that a linkage be a product of 100% rlibs or 100%
dylibs. This is to satisfy the requirement that each object appear at most once
in the final output products. This is a bit limiting, and the upcoming libcore
library cannot exist as a dylib, so these rules must change.
The goal of this commit is to enable *some* use cases for mixing rlibs and
dylibs, primarily libcore's use case. It is not targeted at allowing an
exhaustive number of linkage flavors.
There is a new dependency_format module in rustc which calculates what format
each upstream library should be linked as in each output type of the current
unit of compilation. The module itself contains many gory details about what's
going on here.

When a syntax extension is loaded by the compiler, the dylib that is opened may
have other dylibs that it depends on. The dynamic linker must be able to find
these libraries on the system or else the library will fail to load.
Currently, unix gets by with the use of rpaths. This relies on the dylib not
moving around too drastically relative to its dependencies. For windows,
however, this is no rpath available, and in theory unix should work without
rpaths as well.
This modifies the compiler to add all -L search directories to the dynamic
linker's set of load paths. This is currently managed through environment
variables for each platform.

Similar to my recent changes to ~[T]/&[T], these changes remove the vstore abstraction and represent str types as ~(str) and &(str). The Option<uint> in ty_str is the length of the string, None if the string is dynamically sized.
This allows the use of syntax extensions when cross-compiling (fixing #12102). It does this by encoding the target triple in the crate metadata and checking it when searching for files. Currently the crate triple must match the host triple when there is a macro_registrar_fn, it must match the target triple when linking, and can match either when only macro_rules! macros are used.
due to carelessness, this is pretty much a duplicate of https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13450.
This adds the target triple to the crate metadata.
When searching for a crate the phase (link, syntax) is taken into account.
During link phase only crates matching the target triple are considered.
During syntax phase, either the target or host triple will be accepted, unless
the crate defines a macro_registrar, in which case only the host triple will
match.
This alters the borrow checker's requirements on invoking closures from
requiring an immutable borrow to requiring a unique immutable borrow. This means
that it is illegal to invoke a closure through a `&` pointer because there is no
guarantee that is not aliased. This does not mean that a closure is required to
be in a mutable location, but rather a location which can be proven to be
unique (often through a mutable pointer).
For example, the following code is unsound and is no longer allowed:
type Fn<'a> = ||:'a;
fn call(f: |Fn|) {
f(|| {
f(|| {})
});
}
fn main() {
call(|a| {
a();
});
}
There is no replacement for this pattern. For all closures which are stored in
structures, it was previously allowed to invoke the closure through `&self` but
it now requires invocation through `&mut self`.
The standard library has a good number of violations of this new rule, but the
fixes will be separated into multiple breaking change commits.

Now with proper checking of enums and allows unsized fields as the last field in a struct or variant. This PR only checks passing of unsized types and distinguishing them from sized ones. To be safe we also need to control storage.
Closes issues #12969 and #13121, supersedes #13375 (all the discussion there is valid here too).
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.
Closes#13381
Refactors all uses of ty_vec and associated things to remove the vstore abstraction (still used for strings, for now). Pointers to vectors are stored as ty_rptr or ty_uniq wrapped around a ty_vec. There are no user-facing changes. Existing behaviour is preserved by special-casing many instances of pointers containing vectors. Hopefully with DST most of these hacks will go away. For now it is useful to leave them hanging around rather than abstracting them into a method or something.

Syntax-only crates are no longer registered with the cstore, so there's no need
to allocate crate numbers to them. This ends up leaving gaps in the crate
numbering scheme which is not expected in the rest of the compiler.

Rebased & tests-fixed version of https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/13269
When calculating the sysroot, it's more accurate to use realpath() rather than
just one readlink() to account for any intermediate symlinks that the rustc
binary resolves itself to.
For rpath, realpath() is necessary because the rpath must dictate a relative
rpath from the destination back to the originally linked library, which works
more robustly if there are no symlinks involved.
Concretely, any binary generated on OSX into $TMPDIR requires an absolute rpath
because the temporary directory is behind a symlink with one layer of
indirection. This symlink causes all relative rpaths to fail to resolve.
