* Value gets renamed to Operand, so that now interpret::{Place, Operand} are the
"dynamic" versions of mir::{Place, Operand}.
* Operand and Place share the data for their "stuff is in memory"-base in a new
type, MemPlace. This also makes it possible to give some more precise types
in other areas. Both Operand and MemPlace have methods available to project
into fields (and other kinds of projections) without causing further
allocations.
* The type for "a Scalar or a ScalarPair" is called Value, and again used to
give some more precise types.
* All of these have versions with an attached layout, so that we can more often
drag the layout along instead of recomputing it. This lets us get rid of
`PlaceExtra::Downcast`. MPlaceTy and PlaceTy can only be constructed
in place.rs, making sure the layout is handled properly.
(The same should eventually be done for ValTy and OpTy.)
* All the high-level functions to write typed memory take a Place, and live in
place.rs. All the high-level typed functions to read typed memory take an
Operand, and live in operands.rs.
Exec gdb/lldb in rust-{gdb/lldb} wrapper scripts
This way, the process we get by executing `rust-gdb` or `rust-lldb` (eventually) is an actual `gdb` or `lldb` process and behaves accordingly. Previously (and at least to me unexpectedly) it was just a script waiting for the debugger to exit. Sending a signal (e.g. SIGINT) to the spawned process did therefore not affect the debugger process (which was just a child of the wrapper script).
In order to work around that we `exec` (according to [this](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/exec.html) part of the posix shell) and replace the script process with the debugger in the last line of the script. The lldb script had to be modified to not pass the configuration commands via a script file (which in my opinion is cleaner anyway).

anyone reading this comment today needs to know, the function has never
parsed items from inside an extern crate.
Exhaustive integer matching
This adds a new feature flag `exhaustive_integer_patterns` that enables exhaustive matching of integer types by their values. For example, the following is now accepted:
```rust
#![feature(exhaustive_integer_patterns)]
#![feature(exclusive_range_pattern)]
fn matcher(x: u8) {
match x { // ok
0 .. 32 => { /* foo */ }
32 => { /* bar */ }
33 ..= 255 => { /* baz */ }
}
}
```
This matching is permitted on all integer (signed/unsigned and char) types. Sensible error messages are also provided. For example:
```rust
fn matcher(x: u8) {
match x { //~ ERROR
0 .. 32 => { /* foo */ }
}
}
```
results in:
```
error[E0004]: non-exhaustive patterns: `32u8...255u8` not covered
--> matches.rs:3:9
|
6 | match x {
| ^ pattern `32u8...255u8` not covered
```
This implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1550 for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/50907. While there hasn't been a full RFC for this feature, it was suggested that this might be a feature that obviously complements the existing exhaustiveness checks (e.g. for `bool`) and so a feature gate would be sufficient for now.
People often come looking for some kind of `as_ref_unchecked` method on
raw pointers that would give them `&T` and not `Option<&T>` when they
are sure the pointer is not NULL.
There's no such method, but taking a reference of the dereferenced
pointer accomplishes the same thing. Therefore, suggest using that, at
the `as_ref` site ‒ it's a place people are likely going to look into.

This commit adds a normalization for line and column numbers in stderr
files where the line/col is from the source directory rather than
the test itself - thereby removing the need to update tests as
compiler source changes.
expand the documentation on the `Unpin` trait
provides an overview of the Pin API which the trait is for,
and show how it can be used in making self referencial structs
part of #49150
syntax: Optimize some literal parsing
Currently in the `wasm-bindgen` project we have a very very large crate that's
procedurally generated, `web-sys`. To generate this crate we parse all of a
browser's WebIDL and we then generate bindings for all of the APIs contained
within.
The resulting Rust file is 18MB large (wow!) and currently takes a very long
time to compile in debug mode. On the nightly compiler a *debug* build takes 90s
for the crate to finish. I was curious what was taking so long and upon
investigating a *massive* portion of the time was spent in the `lit_token`
method of the compiler, primarily formatting strings via `format!`.
Upon some more investigation it looks like the `byte_str_lit` was allocating an
error message once per byte, causing a very large number of allocations to
happen for large literals, of which wasm-bindgen generates quite a few (some are
MB large).
This commit fixes the issue by lazily allocating the error message, only doing
so if the error message is actually needed (which should be never). As a result,
the debug mode compilation time for our `web-sys` crate decreased from 90s to
20s, a very nice improvement! (although we've still got some work to do).
update lld submodule to include RISCV patch
This pulls in one new commit, to add support for linking static RISCV
binaries, suitable for the new riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf target.
See: https://github.com/rust-lang/lld/pull/1
Change target triple used to check for lldb in build-manifest
The wrong target triple was used for lldb in build-manifest. lldb is
only built for macOS, so update the triple to reflect that.
This is an attempt to fix bug#48168.
restore the page title after escaping out of a search
Currently if I start a search in the docs, but then hit ESC, the "Results for..." title is still there in my browser tab. This is a simple attempt to fix that. I see that there's a separate `var previousTitle = document.title` thing happening in `startSearch()`, but as far as I can tell that's only related to the back stack? I'd also appreciate feedback on the right place to declare the `titleBeforeSearch` variable.
Testing-wise, I've confirmed by hand that the tab title restores correctly after building with `./x.py doc --stage 1 src/libstd`, but nothing more involved than that. What else should I test?
Mark libserialize functions as inline
Got to thinking: "what if that big pile of tiny functions isn't inlining as it should?"
So a few `replace-regex` later the local perf run says this:
<details>
</details>
Not huge, but still a win, which is interesting. Want to verify with the real perf run, but I understand there's a backlog.
I didn't notice any increase in compile time or binary sizes for rustc/libs.
