Our implementation of ebml has diverged from the standard in order
to better serve the needs of the compiler, so it doesn't make much
sense to call what we have ebml anyore. Furthermore, our implementation
is pretty crufty, and should eventually be rewritten into a format
that better suits the needs of the compiler. This patch factors out
serialize::ebml into librbml, otherwise known as the Really Bad
Markup Language. This is a stopgap library that shouldn't be used
by end users, and will eventually be replaced by something better.

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
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.
In f1ad425199b0d89dab275a8c8f6f29a73d316f70, I changed the handling
of macros, to prevent macro invocations from occurring in fully expanded
source. Instead, I added a side table. It contained only the
spans of the macros, because this was the only information required
in order to make macro export work.
However, librustdoc was also affected by this change, since it
extracts macro information in a similar way. As a result of the earlier
change, exported macros were no longer documented.
In order to repair this, I've adjusted the side table to contain whole
items, rather than just the spans.
except where trait objects are involved.
Part of issue #15349, though I'm leaving it open for trait objects.
Cross borrowing for trait objects remains because it is needed until we
have DST.
This will break code like:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(a);
Change this code to:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(&*a);

This makes two changes to region inference: (1) it allows region
inference to relate early-bound regions; and (2) it allows regions to be
related before variance runs. The former is needed because there is no
relation between the two regions before region substitution happens,
while the latter is needed because type collection has to run before
variance. We assume that, before variance is inferred, that lifetimes
are invariant. This is a conservative overapproximation.
This relates to #13885. This does not remove `~self` from the language
yet, however.

Per @pnkfelix 's suggestion, using a trait to make these

oops fix new ast_map fix
This change propagates to many locations, but because of the
Macro Exterminator (or, more properly, the invariant that it
protects), macro invocations can't occur downstream of expansion.
This means that in librustc and librustdoc, extracting the
desired field can simply assume that it can't be a macro
invocation. Functions in ast_util abstract over this check.
Our AST definition can include macro invocations, which can expand into all kinds of things. Macro invocations are expanded away during expansion time, and the rest of the compiler doesn't have to deal with them. However, we have no way of enforcing this.
This patch adds two protective mechanisms.
First, it adds a (quick) explicit check that ensures there are no macro invocations remaining in the AST after expansion. Second, it updates the visit and fold mechanisms so that by default, they will not traverse macro invocations. It's easy enough to add this, if desired (it's documented in the source, and examples appear, e.g. in the IdentFinder.
Along the way, I also consulted with @sfackler to refactor the macro export mechanism so that it stores macro text spans in a side table, rather than leaving them in the AST.
This PR adds a crate-level dashboard summarizing the stability levels of all items for all submodules of the crate.
The information is also written as a json file, intended for consumption by pages like http://huonw.github.io/isrustfastyet/
Along the way, fixes a few bugs in stability tracking and places where rustdoc was not pulling the existing stability data.
Closes#13541
Per discussion with @sfackler, refactored the expander to
change the way that exported macros are collected. Specifically,
a crate now contains a side table of spans that exported macros
go into.
This has two benefits. First, the encoder doesn't need to scan through
the expanded crate in order to discover exported macros. Second, the
expander can drop all expanded macros from the crate, with the pleasant
result that a fully expanded crate contains no macro invocations (which
include macro definitions).
formerly, the self identifier was being discarded during parsing, which
stymies hygiene. The best fix here seems to be to attach a self identifier
to ExplicitSelf_, a change that rippled through the rest of the compiler,
but without any obvious damage.
This updates https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15075.
Rename `ToStr::to_str` to `ToString::to_string`. The naive renaming ends up with two `to_string` functions defined on strings in the prelude (the other defined via `collections::str::StrAllocating`). To remedy this I removed `StrAllocating::to_string`, making all conversions from `&str` to `String` go through `Show`. This has a measurable impact on the speed of this conversion, but the sense I get from others is that it's best to go ahead and unify `to_string` and address performance for all `to_string` conversions in `core::fmt`. `String::from_str(...)` still works as a manual fast-path.
Note that the patch was done with a script, and ended up renaming a number of other `*_to_str` functions, particularly inside of rustc. All the ones I saw looked correct, and I didn't notice any additional API breakage.
Closes#15046.

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 modifies crate loading to purely work off a `crate_name` and nothing
else. This commit also changes the patterns recognized from `lib<foo>-*` to
`lib<foo>*` to accomodate the future renamings of output files.
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.

This basically meant changing the interface so that no borrowed `&Vec`
is exposed, by hiding `fn get_vec` and `fn get_mut_vec` and revising
`fn all_vecs`.
Instead, clients should use one of the other methods; `get_slice`,
`pop`, `truncate`, `replace`, `push_all`, or `is_empty_in`, which
should work for any case currently used in rustc.
Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains
a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code
where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically---
a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation
to some really nasty bugs.
This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident
and a span.
Being able to index into the bytes of a string encourages
poor UTF-8 hygiene. To get a view of `&[u8]` from either
a `String` or `&str` slice, use the `as_bytes()` method.
Closes#12710.

This commit hooks rustdoc into the stability index infrastructure in two
ways:
1. It looks up stability levels via the index, rather than by manual
attributes.
2. It adds stability level information throughout rustdoc output, rather
than just at the top header. In particular, a stability color (with
mouseover text) appears next to essentially every item that appears
in rustdoc's HTML output.
Along the way, the stability index code has been lightly refactored.
This change registers new snapshots, allowing `*T` to be removed from the language. This is a large breaking change, and it is recommended that if compiler errors are seen that any FFI calls are audited to determine whether they should be actually taking `*mut T`.
The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.
This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.
