And some other outdated language. @echochamber came asking about these docs
on IRC today, and they're a bit weird. I've updated them to be less ambiguous
and use contemporary terminology.
Per the title. I've linked to the reference at http://doc.rust-lang.org/reference.html#type-parameters-1, but I'm not sure that's such a good link - but there doesn't seem to be a great deal of explanation elsewhere in the reference either...
Internally, the arguments passed to the closure are represented by a
tuple, but the actual function takes them as individual arguments, so we
have to untuple the arguments before creating the debuginfo.
We're currently using the actual function type as the return type when
creating the debug info for a function, so we're actually creating
debug info for a function that takes the same parameters, and returns
the actual function type, which is completely wrong.
Some cases displayed negative impls as positive, and some were missing
where clauses. This factors all the impl formatting into one
function so the different cases can't get out of sync again.
This also changes how variant values are printed in errors, they are no
longer printed in their parent scope. As far as I can tell, this is
leftover from pre-namespacing of enums.
Closes#17546.
Fixes#27014

I'm not 100% sure there's not a better way to do this, but it works.
Also, I wasn't sure how, where, or if to write a test for this.
Per the top level comment:
A low-level utility for more ergonomically allocating, reallocating, and deallocating a
a buffer of memory on the heap without having to worry about all the corner cases
involved. This type is excellent for building your own data structures like Vec and VecDeque.
In particular:
* Produces heap::EMPTY on zero-sized types
* Produces heap::EMPTY on zero-length allocations
* Catches all overflows in capacity computations (promotes them to "capacity overflow" panics)
* Guards against 32-bit systems allocating more than isize::MAX bytes
* Guards against overflowing your length
* Aborts on OOM
* Avoids freeing heap::EMPTY
* Contains a ptr::Unique and thus endows the user with all related benefits
This type does not in anyway inspect the memory that it manages. When dropped it *will*
free its memory, but it *won't* try to Drop its contents. It is up to the user of RawVec
to handle the actual things *stored* inside of a RawVec.
Note that a RawVec always forces its capacity to be usize::MAX for zero-sized types.
This enables you to use capacity growing logic catch the overflows in your length
that might occur with zero-sized types.
However this means that you need to be careful when roundtripping this type
with a `Box<[T]>`: `cap()` won't yield the len. However `with_capacity`,
`shrink_to_fit`, and `from_box` will actually set RawVec's private capacity
field. This allows zero-sized types to not be special-cased by consumers of
this type.

Escape sequences in documentation comments must not be parsed as a normal string when expanding a macro, otherwise some innocent but invalid-escape-sequence-looking comments will trigger an ICE.
Although this commit replaces normal string literals with raw string literals in macro expansion, this shouldn't be much a problem considering documentation comments are converted into attributes before being passed to a macro anyways.
Fixes#25929.
Fixes#25943.
Transition to the new object lifetime defaults, replacing the old defaults completely.

This is a [breaking-change] as specified by [RFC 1156][1156] (though all cases that would break should have been receiving warnings starting in Rust 1.2). Types like `&'a Box<Trait>` (or `&'a Rc<Trait>`, etc) will change from being interpreted as `&'a Box<Trait+'a>` to `&'a Box<Trait+'static>`. To restore the old behavior, write the `+'a` explicitly. For example, the function:
```rust
trait Trait { }
fn foo(x: &Box<Trait>) { ... }
```
would be rewritten as:
```rust
trait Trait { }
fn foo(x: &'a Box<Trait+'a>) { ... }
```
if one wanted to preserve the current typing.

LLVM has recently created their 3.7 release branch, and this PR updates us to that point. This should hopefully mean that we're basically compatible with the upcoming 3.7 release. Additionally, there are a number of goodies on this branch.
* This contains a fix for https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23957
which should help us bootstrap farther on 32-bit MSVC targets.
* There is better support for writing multiple flavors of archives, allowing us
to use the built-in LLVM support instead of the system `ar` on all current
platforms of the compiler.
* This LLVM has SafeStack support
* An [optimization patch](7cf5e26e18) by @pcwalton is included.
* A number of other minor test fixes here and there.
Due to problems dealing with the data layout we pass to LLVM, this PR also takes the time to clean up how we specific this. We no longer specify a data layout to LLVM by default and instead take the default for the target from LLVM to pass to the module that we're building. This should be more robust going into the future, and I'm also not sure we know what any of these arcane strings are any more...
