Hello,
`dylib` [seems][1] to be no longer an option for the `kind` key of the `link` attribute.
UPDATE: It should be the other way around: It [seems][1] `dylib` has been lost as a possible variant of the `kind` key of the `link` attribute. See the comment below.
Regards,
Ivan

Removes all target-specific knowledge from rustc. Some targets have changed
during this, but none of these should be very visible outside of
cross-compilation. The changes make our targets more consistent.
iX86-unknown-linux-gnu is now only available as i686-unknown-linux-gnu. We
used to accept any value of X greater than 1. i686 was released in 1995, and
should encompass the bare minimum of what Rust supports on x86 CPUs.
The only two windows targets are now i686-pc-windows-gnu and
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.
The iOS target has been renamed from arm-apple-ios to arm-apple-darwin.
A complete list of the targets we accept now:
arm-apple-darwin
arm-linux-androideabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
i686-apple-darwin
i686-pc-windows-gnu
i686-unknown-freebsd
i686-unknown-linux-gnu
mips-unknown-linux-gnu
mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu
x86_64-apple-darwin
x86_64-unknown-freebsd
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

- The signature of the `*_equiv` methods of `HashMap` and similar structures
have changed, and now require one less level of indirection. Change your code
from:
```
hashmap.find_equiv(&"Hello");
hashmap.find_equiv(&&[0u8, 1, 2]);
```
to:
```
hashmap.find_equiv("Hello");
hashmap.find_equiv(&[0u8, 1, 2]);
```
- The generic parameter `T` of the `Hasher::hash<T>` method have become
`Sized?`. Downstream code must add `Sized?` to that method in their
implementations. For example:
```
impl Hasher<FnvState> for FnvHasher {
fn hash<T: Hash<FnvState>>(&self, t: &T) -> u64 { /* .. */ }
}
```
must be changed to:
```
impl Hasher<FnvState> for FnvHasher {
fn hash<Sized? T: Hash<FnvState>>(&self, t: &T) -> u64 { /* .. */ }
// ^^^^^^
}
```

This is an implementation of the rustc bits of [RFC 403][rfc]. This adds a new
flag to the compiler, `-l`, as well as tweaking the `include!` macro (and
related source-centric macros).
The compiler's new `-l` flag is used to link libraries in from the command line.
This flag stacks with `#[link]` directives already found in the program. The
purpose of this flag, also stated in the RFC, is to ease linking against native
libraries which have wildly different requirements across platforms and even
within distributions of one platform. This flag accepts a string of the form
`NAME[:KIND]` where `KIND` is optional or one of dylib, static, or framework.
This is roughly equivalent to if the equivalent `#[link]` directive were just
written in the program.
The `include!` macro has been modified to recursively expand macros to allow
usage of `concat!` as an argument, for example. The use case spelled out in RFC
403 was for `env!` to be used as well to include compile-time generated files.
The macro also received a bit of tweaking to allow it to expand to either an
expression or a series of items, depending on what context it's used in.

The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

When checking for an existing crate, compare against the `crate_metadata::name` field, which is the crate name which was requested during resolution, rather than the result of the `crate_metadata::name()` method, which is the crate name within the crate metadata, as these may not match when using the --extern option to `rustc`.
This fixes spurious "multiple crate version" warnings under the following scenario:
- The crate `foo`, is referenced multiple times
- `--extern foo=./path/to/libbar.rlib` is specified to rustc
- The internal crate name of `libbar.rlib` is not `foo`
The behavior surrounding `Context::should_match_name` and the comments in `loader.rs` both lead me to believe that this scenario is intended to work.

Crates that are resolved normally have their path canonicalized and all
symlinks resolved. This does currently not happen for paths specified
using the --extern option to rustc, which can lead to rustc thinking
that it encountered two different versions of a crate, when it's
actually the same version found through different paths.
To fix this, we must store the canonical path for crates found via
--extern and also use the canonical path when comparing paths.
Fixes#16496
The right hand side of the comparison in these checks are values of type
Option<&Path> which are normalized versions of the left-hand side, so they're
not guaranteed to be byte-for-byte equivalent even though they're the same path.
For this reasons, the command line arguments are promoted to paths for
comparison of equality.
This fixes a bug on windows where if a library was specified with --extern it
would then be picked up twice because it was not considered to have been
previously registered.
This comit implements a new flag, --extern, which is used to specify where a
crate is located. The purpose of this flag is to bypass the normal crate
loading/matching of the compiler to point it directly at the right file.
This flag takes the form `--extern foo=bar` where `foo` is the name of a crate
and `bar` is the location at which to find the crate. Multiple `--extern`
directives are allowed with the same crate name to specify the rlib/dylib pair
for a crate. It is invalid to specify more than one rlib or more than one dylib,
and it's required that the crates are valid rust crates.
I have also added some extensive documentation to metadata::loader about how
crate loading should work.
RFC: 0035-remove-crate-id
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.

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... fns easier to use by tools.
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 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.
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.
Closes#13560
This bug was introduced in #13384 by accident, and this commit continues the
work of #13384 by finishing support for loading a syntax extension crate without
registering it with the local cstore.
Closes#13495
When linking, all crates in the local CStore are used to link the final product.
With #[phase(syntax)], crates want to be omitted from this linkage phase, and
this was achieved by dumping the entire CStore after loading crates. This causes
crates like the standard library to get loaded twice. This loading process is a
fairly expensive operation when dealing with decompressing metadata.
This commit alters the loading process to never register syntax crates in
CStore. Instead, only phase(link) crates ever make their way into the map of
crates. The CrateLoader trait was altered to return everything in one method
instead of having separate methods for finding information.
This separate crate cache is one factor which is causing libstd to be loaded
twice during normal compilation. The crates loaded for syntax extensions have a
separate cache than the crates loaded for linking, so all crates are loaded once
per #[phase] they're tagged with.
This removes the cache and instead uses the CStore structure itself as the cache
for loaded crates. This should allow crates loaded during the syntax phase to be
shared with the crates loaded during the link phase.
Fix#13266.
There is a little bit of acrobatics in the definition of `crate_paths`
to avoid calling `clone()` on the dylib/rlib unless we actually are
going to need them.
The other oddity is that I have replaced the `root_ident: Option<&str>`
parameter with a `root: &Option<CratePaths>`, which may surprise one
who was expecting to see something like: `root: Option<&CratePaths>`.
I went with the approach here because I could not come up with code for
the alternative that was acceptable to the borrow checker.
