Awesome job by @neykov for this!
The first commit improves error messages during linking, and the second commit improves error messages during crate-loading time.
Closes#12297Closes#12377
This commit rewrites crate loading internally in attempt to look at less
metadata and provide nicer errors. The loading is now split up into a few
stages:
1. Collect a mapping of (hash => ~[Path]) for a set of candidate libraries for a
given search. The hash is the hash in the filename and the Path is the
location of the library in question. All candidates are filtered based on
their prefix/suffix (dylib/rlib appropriate) and then the hash/version are
split up and are compared (if necessary).
This means that if you're looking for an exact hash of library you don't have
to open up the metadata of all libraries named the same, but also in your
path.
2. Once this mapping is constructed, each (hash, ~[Path]) pair is filtered down
to just a Path. This is necessary because the same rlib could show up twice
in the path in multiple locations. Right now the filenames are based on just
the crate id, so this could be indicative of multiple version of a crate
during one crate_id lifetime in the path. If multiple duplicate crates are
found, an error is generated.
3. Now that we have a mapping of (hash => Path), we error on multiple versions
saying that multiple versions were found. Only if there's one (hash => Path)
pair do we actually return that Path and its metadata.
With this restructuring, it restructures code so errors which were assertions
previously are now first-class errors. Additionally, this should read much less
metadata with lots of crates of the same name or same version in a path.
Closes#11908
This "bubble up an error" macro was originally named if_ok! in order to get it
landed, but after the fact it was discovered that this name is not exactly
desirable.
The name `if_ok!` isn't immediately clear that is has much to do with error
handling, and it doesn't look fantastic in all contexts (if if_ok!(...) {}). In
general, the agreed opinion about `if_ok!` is that is came in as subpar.
The name `try!` is more invocative of error handling, it's shorter by 2 letters,
and it looks fitting in almost all circumstances. One concern about the word
`try!` is that it's too invocative of exceptions, but the belief is that this
will be overcome with documentation and examples.
Close#12037
I just started learning Rust and the absence of an explanation of the for-loop in the beginning really bugged me about the tutorial. Hence I simply added these lines, where I would have expected them. I know that there is something later on in the section on traits. However, this simple iteration scheme feels like something that you should be aware of right away.

The new methodology can be found in the re-worded comment, but the gist of it is
that -C prefer-dynamic doesn't turn off static linkage. The error messages
should also be a little more sane now.
Closes#12133
The fairness yield mistakenly called `Local::take()` which meant that it would
only work if a local task was available. In theory sending on a channel (or calling try_recv) requires
no runtime because it never blocks, so there's no reason it shouldn't support
such a use case.
Closes#12391
I don't think `extra` is a good/meaningful name for a library. `libextra` should disappear, and we move all of its sub modules out of it. This PR is just one of that steps: move `extra::test` to `libtest`.
I didn't add `libtest` to doc index, because it's an internal library currently.
**Update:**
All comments addressed. All tests passed. Rebased and squashed.
On windows, the GetEnvironmentVariable function will return the necessary buffer
size if the buffer provided was too small. This case previously fell through the
checks inside of fill_utf16_buf_and_decode, tripping an assertion in the `slice`
method.
This adds an extra case for when the return value is >= the buffer size, in
which case we assume the return value as the new buffer size and try again.

Closes#12383.
Test suite did not capture this and can't as long as it is in the same module hierarchy. This is probably something that should be addressed in the future.

It is sometimes useful to parse just the path portion of a URL (path,
query string and fragment) rather than the entire URL.
In theory I could have made Url embed a Path, but that would be a
breaking change and I assume that Servo uses this API. I would be
happy to update the PR to embed Path in Url if that's what people
wanted.
This is mostly useful for working on rustc, when one is unfamiliar with the
AST a particular construct will produce. It's a -Z flag as it's very much for
debugging.
Closes#10485
When creating a staticlib, it unzips all static archives it finds and then
inserts the files manually into the output file. This process is done through
`ar`, and `ar` doesn't like if you specify you want to add files and you don't
give it any files.
This case arose whenever you linked to an archive that didn't have any contents
or all of the contents were filtered out. This just involved ignoring the case
where the number of inputs we have is 0, because we don't have any files to add
anyway.
The new methodology can be found in the re-worded comment, but the gist of it is
that -C prefer-dynamic doesn't turn off static linkage. The error messages
should also be a little more sane now.

Currently, the format_args! macro and its downstream macros in turn
expand to series of let statements, one for each of its arguments, and
then the invocation of the macro function. If one or more of the
arguments are RefCell's, the enclosing statement for the temporary of
the let is the let itself, which leads to scope problem. This patch
changes let's to a match expression.
Closes#12239.

Closes#11692. Instead of returning the original expression, a dummy expression
(with identical span) is returned. This prevents infinite loops of failed
expansions as well as odd double error messages in certain situations.
This is a slightly better fix than #12197, because it does not produce a double error and also fixes a few other cases where an infinite loop could happen.
This does not fix the other issue in #11692 (non-builtin macros not being recognised when expanded inside macros), which I think should be moved into a separate issue.
The 'do' keyword was deprecated in 0.10 #11868 , and is keep as
reserved keyword #12157 .
So the tutorial part about it doesn't make sense.
The spawning explanation was move into '15.2 Closure compatibility'.
Any macro tagged with #[macro_export] will be showed in the documentation for
that module. This also documents all the existing macros inside of std::macros.
