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.

This is a large spring-cleaning commit now that the 0.12.0 release has passed removing an amount of deprecated functionality. This removes a number of deprecated crates (all still available as cargo packages in the rust-lang organization) as well as a slew of deprecated functions. All `#[crate_id]` support has also been removed.
I tried to avoid anything that was recently deprecated, but I may have missed something! The major pain points of this commit is the fact that rustc/syntax have `#[allow(deprecated)]`, but I've removed that annotation so moving forward they should be cleaned up as we go.
Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.

This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:
use foo::bar;
use baz::bar;
Change this code to the following:
use baz::bar;
Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:
use foo::*; // including `bar`
use baz::bar;
Change this code to remove the glob:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz::bar;
Or qualify all uses of `bar`:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz;
... baz::bar ...
Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.
extern crate std;
Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.
The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.
This implements RFC #116.

Earlier commits have established a baseline of `experimental` stability
for all crates under the facade (so their contents are considered
experimental within libstd). Since `experimental` is `allow` by
default, we should use the same baseline stability for libstd itself.
This commit adds `experimental` tags to all of the modules defined in
`std`, and `unstable` to `std` itself.

This commit adds support in rustdoc to recognize the `#[doc(primitive = "foo")]`
attribute. This attribute indicates that the current module is the "owner" of
the primitive type `foo`. For rustdoc, this means that the doc-comment for the
module is the doc-comment for the primitive type, plus a signal to all
downstream crates that hyperlinks for primitive types will be directed at the
crate containing the `#[doc]` directive.
Additionally, rustdoc will favor crates closest to the one being documented
which "implements the primitive type". For example, documentation of libcore
links to libcore for primitive types, but documentation for libstd and beyond
all links to libstd for primitive types.
This change involves no compiler modifications, it is purely a rustdoc change.
The landing pages for the primitive types primarily serve to show a list of
implemented traits for the primitive type itself.
The primitive types documented includes both strings and slices in a semi-ad-hoc
way, but in a way that should provide at least somewhat meaningful
documentation.

This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more

This commit shuffles around some of the `rand` code, along with some
reorganization. The new state of the world is as follows:
* The librand crate now only depends on libcore. This interface is experimental.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::rand`. This interface will
eventually become stable.
Unfortunately, this entailed more of a breaking change than just shuffling some
names around. The following breaking changes were made to the rand library:
* Rng::gen_vec() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_iter() which
will return an infinite stream of random values. Previous behavior can be
regained with `rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()`
* Rng::gen_ascii_str() was removed. This has been replaced with
Rng::gen_ascii_chars() which will return an infinite stream of random ascii
characters. Similarly to gen_iter(), previous behavior can be emulated with
`rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()`
* {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all
relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer
available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same
functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be
generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows
the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs.
* Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be
pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for librand to not depend on
liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not
supported. If this is undesirable, librand can depend on liballoc and regain
these implementations.
* The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`,
but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice
structure now has a lifetime associated with it.
* The `sample` method on `Rng` has been moved to a top-level function in the
`rand` module due to its dependence on `Vec`.

In an attempt to phase out the std::num::strconv module's string formatting
functionality, this commit reimplements some provided methods for formatting
integers on top of format!() instead of the custom (and slower) implementation
inside of num::strconv.
Primarily, this deprecates int_to_str_bytes_common
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 Float trait in libstd is quite a large trait which has dependencies on cmath
(libm) and such, which libcore cannot satisfy. It also has many functions that
libcore can implement, however, as LLVM has intrinsics or they're just bit
twiddling.
This commit moves what it can of the Float trait from the standard library into
libcore to allow floats to be usable in the core library. The remaining
functions are now resident in a FloatMath trait in the standard library (in the
prelude now). Previous code which was generic over just the Float trait may now
need to be generic over the FloatMath trait.

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.

A few methods in slice that used to return ~[T] now return Vec<T>:
- VectorVector.concat/connect_vec() returns Vec<T>
- slice::unzip() returns (Vec<T>, Vec<U>)
- ImmutableCloneableVector.partitioned() returns (Vec<T>, Vec<T>)
- OwnedVector.partition() returns (Vec<T>, Vec<T>)
These implementations must live in libstd right now because the fmt module has
not been migrated yet. This will occur in a later PR.
Just to be clear, there are new extension traits, but they are not necessary
once the std::fmt module has migrated to libcore, which is a planned migration
in the future.
This implements all traits inside of core::num for all the primitive types,
removing all the functionality from libstd. The std modules reexport all of the
necessary items from the core modules.
This strips out all string-related functionality from the num module. The
inherited functionality is all that will be implemented in libcore (for now).
Primarily, libcore will not implement the Float trait or any string-related
functionality.
It may be possible to migrate string parsing functionality into libcore in the
future, but for now it will remain in libstd.
All functionality in core::num is reexported in std::num.
Follow-up on issue #13297 and PR #13710. Instead of following the (confusing) C/C++ approach
of using `MIN_VALUE` for the smallest *positive* number, we introduce `MIN_POS_VALUE` (and
in the Float trait, `min_pos_value`) to represent this number.
This patch also removes a few remaining redundantly-defined constants that were missed last
time around.
Some of the constant values in std::f32 were incorrectly copied from
std::f64. More broadly, both modules defined their constants redundantly
in two places, which is what led to the bug. Moreover, the specs for
some of the constants were incorrent, even when the values were correct.
Closes#13297. Closes#11537.
This pull request:
- Merges the `Round` trait into the `Float` trait, continuing issue #10387.

This commit removes the compiler support for floating point modulus operations,
as well as from the language. An implementation for this operator is now

Make all of the methods in `std::num::Float` take `self` and their other parameters by value.
Some of the `Float` methods took their parameters by value, and others took them by reference. This standardises them to one convention. The `Float` trait is intended for the built in IEEE 754 numbers only so we don't have to worry about the trait serving types of larger sizes.

Move the rounding functions into the `std::num::Float` trait and then remove `std::num::Round`.
This continues the flattening of the numeric traits tracked in #10387. The aim is to make `std::num` very simple and tied to the built in types, leaving the definition of more complex numeric towers to third-party libraries.

This removes all resizability support for ~[T] vectors in preparation of DST.
The only growable vector remaining is Vec<T>. In summary, the following methods

* slice::OwnedCloneableVector
* slice::OwnedEqVector

Note that no other API changes were made. Existing apis that took or returned

Exposing ctpop, ctlz, cttz and bswap as taking signed i8/i16/... is just
exposing the internal LLVM names pointlessly (LLVM doesn't have "signed
integers" or "unsigned integers", it just has sized integer types
with (un)signed *operations*).
These operations are semantically working with raw bytes, which the
unsigned types model better.

The `Float` trait methods will be usable as functions via UFCS, and
we came to a consensus to remove duplicate functions like this a long
time ago.
It does still make sense to keep the duplicate functions when the trait
methods are static, unless the decision to leave out the in-scope trait
name resolution for static methods changes.
move errno -> IoError converter into std, bubble up OSRng errors
Also adds a general errno -> `~str` converter to `std::os`, and makes the failure messages for the things using `OSRng` (e.g. (transitively) the task-local RNG, meaning hashmap initialisation failures aren't such a black box).
This is an implementation detail of the `f32` and `f64` modules and it
should not be public. It renames many functions and leaves out any
provided by LLVM intrinsics, so it is not a sensible binding to the C
standard library's math library and will never be a stable target.
This also removes the abuse of link_name so that this can be switched to
using automatically generated definitions in the future. This also
removes the `scalbn` binding as it is equivalent to `ldexp` when
`FLT_RADIX` is 2, which must always be true for Rust.
The various ...Rng::new() methods can hit IO errors from the OSRng they use,
and it seems sensible to expose them at a higher level. Unfortunately, writing
e.g. `StdRng::new().unwrap()` gives a much poorer error message than if it
failed internally, but this is a problem with all `IoResult`s.

Summary:
So far, we've used the term POD "Plain Old Data" to refer to types that
can be safely copied. However, this term is not consistent with the
other built-in bounds that use verbs instead. This patch renames the Pod
kind into Copy.

The `std::cmp` functions are not correct for floating point types.
`min(NaN, 2.0)` and `min(2.0, NaN)` return different values, because
these functions assume a total order. Floating point types need special
`min`, `max` and `clamp` functions.
Formatting via reflection has been a little questionable for some time now, and
it's a little unfortunate that one of the standard macros will silently use
reflection when you weren't expecting it. This adds small bits of code bloat to
libraries, as well as not always being necessary. In light of this information,
this commit switches assert_eq!() to using {} in the error message instead of
{:?}.
In updating existing code, there were a few error cases that I encountered:
* It's impossible to define Show for [T, ..N]. I think DST will alleviate this
because we can define Show for [T].
* A few types here and there just needed a #[deriving(Show)]
* Type parameters needed a Show bound, I often moved this to `assert!(a == b)`
* `Path` doesn't implement `Show`, so assert_eq!() cannot be used on two paths.
I don't think this is much of a regression though because {:?} on paths looks
awful (it's a byte array).
Concretely speaking, this shaved 10K off a 656K binary. Not a lot, but sometime
significant for smaller binaries.
This removes all usage of Poly in format strings from libstd. This doesn't
prevent more future strings from coming in, but it at least removes the ones for
now.
Commits for details. Highlights:
- `flate` returns `CVec<u8>` to save reallocating a whole new `&[u8]`
- a lot of `transmute`s removed outright or replaced with `as` (etc.)
This commit changes the ToStr trait to:
impl<T: fmt::Show> ToStr for T {
fn to_str(&self) -> ~str { format!("{}", *self) }
}
The ToStr trait has been on the chopping block for quite awhile now, and this is
the final nail in its coffin. The trait and the corresponding method are not
being removed as part of this commit, but rather any implementations of the
`ToStr` trait are being forbidden because of the generic impl. The new way to
get the `to_str()` method to work is to implement `fmt::Show`.
Formatting into a `&mut Writer` (as `format!` does) is much more efficient than
`ToStr` when building up large strings. The `ToStr` trait forces many
intermediate allocations to be made while the `fmt::Show` trait allows
incremental buildup in the same heap allocated buffer. Additionally, the
`fmt::Show` trait is much more extensible in terms of interoperation with other
`Writer` instances and in more situations. By design the `ToStr` trait requires
at least one allocation whereas the `fmt::Show` trait does not require any
allocations.

This adds simple syntax highlighting based off libsyntax's lexer to be sure to
stay up to date with rust's grammar. Some of the highlighting is a bit ad-hoc,
but it definitely seems to get the job done!
This currently doesn't highlight rustdoc-rendered function signatures and
structs that are emitted to each page because the colors already signify what's
clickable and I think we'd have to figure out a different scheme before
colorizing them. This does, however, colorize all code examples and source code.

This is PR is the beginning of a complete rewrite and ultimate removal of the `std::num::strconv` module (see #6220), and the removal of the `ToStrRadix` trait in favour of using the `std::fmt` functionality directly. This should make for a cleaner API, encourage less allocation, and make the implementation more comprehensible .
The `Formatter::{pad_integral, with_padding}` methods have also been refactored make things easier to understand.
The formatting tests for integers have been moved out of `run-pass/ifmt.rs` in order to provide more immediate feedback when building using `make check-stage2-std NO_REBUILD=1`.
Arbitrary radixes are now easier to use in format strings. For example:
~~~rust
assert_eq!(format!("{:04}", radix(3, 2)), ~"0011");

The benchmarks have been standardised between `std::num::strconv` and `std::num::fmt` to make it easier to compare the performance of the different implementations.

This is in preparation to remove the implementations of ToStrRadix in integers, and to remove the associated logic from `std::num::strconv`.
The parts that still need to be liberated are:
- `std::fmt::Formatter::runplural`
- `num::{bigint, complex, rational}`
This works towards a complete rewrite and ultimate removal of the `std::num::strconv` module (see #6220), and the removal of the `ToStrRadix` trait in favour of using the `std::fmt` functionality directly. This should make for a cleaner API, encourage less allocation, and make the implementation far more comprehensible.

Arbitrary radixes are now easier to use in format strings. For example:
~~~
assert_eq!(format!("{:04}", radix(3, 2)), ~"0011");
~~~
The previous code erroneously assumed that 'steals > cnt' was always true, but
that was a false assumption. The code was altered to decrement steals to a
minimum of 0 instead of taking all of cnt into account.
I didn't include the exact test from #12295 because it could run for quite
awhile, and instead set the threshold for MAX_STEALS to much lower during
testing. I found that this triggered the old bug quite frequently when running
without this fix.
Closes#12295
`Times::times` was always a second-class loop because it did not support the `break` and `continue` operations. Its playful appeal (which I liked) was then lost after `do` was disabled for closures. It's time to let this one go.

The implementation has been made more succinct and no longer requires Clone. The coverage of the associated unit test has also been increased to check more combinations of bases, exponents, and expected results.
There was an old and barely used implementation of pow, which expected
both parameters to be uint and required more traits to be implemented.
Since a new implementation for `pow` landed, I'm proposing to remove
this old impl in favor of the new one.
The benchmark shows that the new implementation is faster than the one
being removed:
test num::bench::bench_pow_function ..bench: 9429 ns/iter (+/- 2055)
test num::bench::bench_pow_with_uint_function ...bench: 28476 ns/iter (+/- 2202)
As part of #10387, this removes the `Primitive::{bits, bytes, is_signed}` methods and removes the trait's operator trait constraints for the reasons outlined below:
- The `Primitive::{bits, bytes}` associated functions were originally added to reflect the existing `BITS` and `BYTES`statics included in the numeric modules. These statics are only exist as a workaround for Rust's lack of CTFE, and should be deprecated in the future in favor of using the `std::mem::size_of` function (see #11621).
- `Primitive::is_signed` seems to be of little utility and does not seem to be used anywhere in the Rust compiler or libraries. It is also rather ugly to call due to the `Option<Self>` workaround for #8888.
- The operator trait constraints are already covered by the `Num` trait.

The patch adds a `pow` function for types implementing `One`, `Mul` and
`Clone` trait.
The patch also renames f32 and f64 pow into powf in order to still have
a way to easily have float powers. It uses llvms intrinsics.
The pow implementation for all num types uses the exponentiation by
square.
Fixes bug #11499
These functions are of little utility outside a small subset of use cases. If people need them for their own projects then they can use their own bindings for libm (which aren't hard to make).
The methods contained in `std::num::{Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential, Hyperbolic}` have now been moved into `std::num::Real`. This is part of an ongoing effort to simplify `std::num` (see issue #10387).
`std::num::RealExt` has also been removed from the prelude because it is not a commonly used trait.

in order to make their roles more explicit when glancing at the index.

The `integer_decode()` function decodes a float (f32/f64)
into integers containing the mantissa, exponent and sign.
It's needed for `rationalize()` implementation of #9838.
The code got ported from ABCL [1].
[1] http://abcl.org/trac/browser/trunk/abcl/src/org/armedbear/lisp/FloatFunctions.java?rev=14465#L94
I got the permission to use this code for Rust from Peter Graves (the ABCL copyright holder) . If there's any further IP clearance needed, let me know.
This function had type &[u8] -> ~str, i.e. it allocates a string
internally, even though the non-allocating version that take &[u8] ->
&str and ~[u8] -> ~str are all that is necessary in most circumstances.
These two attributes are no longer useful now that Rust has decided to leave
segmented stacks behind. It is assumed that the rust task's stack is always
large enough to make an FFI call (due to the stack being very large).
There's always the case of stack overflow, however, to consider. This does not
change the behavior of stack overflow in Rust. This is still normally triggered
by the __morestack function and aborts the whole process.
C stack overflow will continue to corrupt the stack, however (as it did before
this commit as well). The future improvement of a guard page at the end of every
rust stack is still unimplemented and is intended to be the mechanism through
which we attempt to detect C stack overflow.

New standards have arisen in recent months, mostly for the use of
rustpkg, but the main Rust codebase has not been altered to match these
new specifications. This changeset rectifies most of these issues.
- Renamed the crate source files `src/libX/X.rs` to `lib.rs`, for
consistency with current styles; this affects extra, rustc, rustdoc,
rustpkg, rustuv, std, syntax.
- Renamed `X/X.rs` to `X/mod.rs,` as is now recommended style, for
`std::num` and `std::terminfo`.
- Shifted `src/libstd/str/ascii.rs` out of the otherwise unused `str`
directory, to be consistent with its import path of `std::ascii`;
libstd is flat at present so it's more appropriate thus.
While this removes some `#[path = "..."]` directives, it does not remove
all of them, and leaves certain other inconsistencies, such as `std::u8`
et al. which are actually stored in `src/libstd/num/` (one subdirectory
down). No quorum has been reached on this issue, so I felt it best to
leave them all alone at present. #9208 deals with the possibility of
making libstd more hierarchical (such as changing the crate to match the
current filesystem structure, which would make the module path
`std::num::u8`).
There is one thing remaining in which this repository is not
rustpkg-compliant: rustpkg would have `src/std/` et al. rather than
`src/libstd/` et al. I have not endeavoured to change that at this point
as it would guarantee prompt bitrot and confusion. A change of that
magnitude needs to be discussed first.
Allows an enum with a discriminant to use any of the primitive integer types to store it. By default the smallest usable type is chosen, but this can be overridden with an attribute: `#[repr(int)]` etc., or `#[repr(C)]` to match the target's C ABI for the equivalent C enum.
Also adds a lint pass for using non-FFI safe enums in extern declarations, checks that specified discriminants can be stored in the specified type if any, and fixes assorted code that was assuming int.
Otherwise, run-pass/deriving-primitive.rs breaks on 32-bit platforms,
because `int::min_value` is `0xffffffff7fffffff` when evaluated for the
discriminant declaration.
This commit fixes all of the fallout of the previous commit which is an attempt
to refine privacy. There were a few unfortunate leaks which now must be plugged,
and the most horrible one is the current `shouldnt_be_public` module now inside
`std::rt`. I think that this either needs a slight reorganization of the
runtime, or otherwise it needs to just wait for the external users of these
modules to get replaced with their `rt` implementations.
Other fixes involve making things pub which should be pub, and otherwise
updating error messages that now reference privacy instead of referencing an
"unresolved name" (yay!).
One downside with this current implementation is that since BigInt's
default is now 64 bit, we can convert larger BigInt's to a primitive,
however the current implementation on 32 bit architectures does not
take advantage of this fact.
It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.

Also, documentation & general clean-up:
- remove `gen_char_from`: better served by `sample` or `choose`.
- `gen_bytes` generalised to `gen_vec`.
- `gen_int_range`/`gen_uint_range` merged into `gen_integer_range` and
made to be properly uniformly distributed. Fixes#8644.
Minor adjustments to other functions.
This large commit implements and `html` output option for rustdoc_ng. The
executable has been altered to be invoked as "rustdoc_ng html <crate>" and
it will dump everything into the local "doc" directory. JSON can still be
generated by changing 'html' to 'json'.
This also fixes a number of bugs in rustdoc_ng relating to comment stripping,
along with some other various issues that I found along the way.
The `make doc` command has been altered to generate the new documentation into
the `doc/ng/$(CRATE)` directories.
This is for consistency in naming conventions.
- ``std::num::Float::NaN()`` is changed to ``nan()``;
- ``std::num::Float.is_NaN()`` is changed to ``is_nan()``; and
- ``std::num::strconv::NumStrConv::NaN()`` is changed to ``nan()``.
Fixes#9319.
