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.
Edit:
fixes#18726 and fixes#23842
And some other outdated language.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.
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...
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.
Adds two error codes, one for duplicate associated constants and one for types. I'm not certain these should each have their own code, but E0201 is already solely for duplicate associated functions so at least it kinda matches. This will lead to somewhat redundant error explanations, but that's nothing new!
Fixes#23969.
Everything on this branch has passed check-stage2 on linux.
This is a temporary integration branch until [our buildbot problems](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/buildbot-is-down-for-a-bit/2365/3) get fixed.
As the day progresses I'll merge more PRs into this branch once I get them through make check.
This branch isn't complete, keeping it up here so more people can merge PRs into integration if they want.

Turns out for OSX our data layout was subtly wrong and the LLVM update must have
exposed this. Instead of fixing this I've removed all data layouts from the
compiler to just use the defaults that LLVM provides for all targets. All data
layouts (and a number of dead modules) are removed from the compiler here.
Custom target specifications can still provide a custom data layout, but it is
now an optional key as the default will be used if one isn't specified.
Updates our LLVM bindings to be able to write out multiple kinds of archives.
This commit also enables using LLVM instead of the system ar on all current
targets.
The C API of this function changed so it no longer takes a personality function.
A shim was introduced to call the right LLVM function (depending on which
version we're compiled against) to set the personality function on the outer
function.
The compiler only ever sets one personality function for all generated
functions, so this should be equivalent.
There's a number of goodies in this LLVM update:
* 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.
* A number of other minor bug fixes and performance improvements to unblock
various other pieces of work.
