Long-standing branch to remove foreign function wrappers altogether. Calls to C functions are done "in place" with no stack manipulation; the scheme relies entirely on the correct use of `#[fixed_stack_segment]` to guarantee adequate stack space. A linter is added to detect when `#[fixed_stack_segment]` annotations are missing. An `externfn!` macro is added to make it easier to declare foreign fns and wrappers in one go: this macro may need some refinement, though, for example it might be good to be able to declare a group of foreign fns. I leave that for future work (hopefully somebody else's work :) ).
Fixes#3678.
See discussion in #8489, but this selects option 3 by adding a `Default` trait to be implemented by various basic types.
Once this makes it into a snapshot I think it's about time to start overhauling all current use-cases of `fmt!` to move towards `ifmt!`. The goal is to replace `%X` with `{}` in 90% of situations, and this commit should enable that.
This allows the internal implementation details of the TLS keys to be
changed without requiring the update of all the users. (Or, applying
changes that *have* to be applied for the keys to work correctly, e.g.
forcing LLVM to not merge these constants.)

Alpha-renamed top-level visit_* functions to walk_*.
(Motivation: Distinguish visit action and recursive traversal.)
Abstract over `&mut self` rather than over `@mut self`.
This required some acrobatics, notably the
`impl<E> Visitor<E> for @mut Visitor<E>`
and corresponding introduction of `@mut Visitor` and some local `let
mut` bindings.
Remove oldvisit reference.
Added default implementations for all of the Visitor trait methods.
Note that both `visit_expr_post` and `visit_ty` are no-op's by
default, just like they are in `oldvisit::default_visitor`.
Refactoring: extract logic to ease swapping visit for oldvisit (hopefully).
The type of the result of option_env! was not fully specified in the
None case, leading to type check failures in the case where the variable
was not defined (e.g. option_env!("FOO").is_none()).
Also cleaned up some compilation warnings.
This includes a number of improvements to `ifmt!`
* Implements formatting arguments -- `{:0.5x}` works now
* Formatting now works on all integer widths, not just `int` and `uint`
* Added a large doc block to `std::fmt` which should help explain what `ifmt!` is all about
* Added floating point formatters, although they have the same pitfalls from before (they're just proof-of-concept now)
Closed a couple of issues along the way, yay! Once this gets into a snapshot, I'll start looking into removing all of `fmt`

`enum Token` was 192 bytes (64-bit), as pointed out by pnkfelix; the only
bloating variant being `INTERPOLATED(nonterminal)`.
Updating `enum nonterminal` to use ~ where variants included big types,
shrunk size_of(Token) to 32 bytes (64-bit).
I am unsure if the `nt_ident` variant should have an indirection, with
ast::ident being only 16 bytes (64-bit), but without this, enum Token
would be 40 bytes.
A dumb benchmark says that compilation time is unchanged, while peak
memory usage for compiling std.rs is down 3%

This can be applied to statics and it will indicate that LLVM will attempt to
merge the constant in .data with other statics.
I have preliminarily applied this to all of the statics generated by the new
`ifmt!` syntax extension. I compiled a file with 1000 calls to `ifmt!` and a
separate file with 1000 calls to `fmt!` to compare the sizes, and the results
were:
```
fmt 310k
ifmt (before) 529k
ifmt (after) 202k
```
This now means that ifmt! is both faster and smaller than fmt!, yay!

env! aborts compilation of the specified environment variable is not
defined and takes an optional second argument containing a custom
error message. option_env! creates an Option<&'static str> containing
the value of the environment variable.
There are no run-pass tests that check the behavior when the environment
variable is defined since the test framework doesn't support setting
environment variables at compile time as opposed to runtime. However,
both env! and option_env! are used inside of rustc itself, which should
act as a sufficient test.
Fixes#2248.

Close#2248
This is a reopening of #8182, although this removes any abuse of the compiler internals. Now it's just a pure syntax extension (hard coded what the attribute names are).
Some general clean-up relating to deriving:
- `TotalOrd` was too eager, and evaluated the `.cmp` call for every field, even if it could short-circuit earlier.
- the pointer types didn't have impls for `TotalOrd` or `TotalEq`.
- the Makefiles didn't reach deep enough into libsyntax for dependencies.
(Split out from https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/8258.)
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
Previously it would call:
f(sf1.cmp(&of1), f(sf2.cmp(&of2), ...))
(where s/of1 = 'self/other field 1', and f was
std::cmp::lexical_ordering)
This meant that every .cmp subcall got evaluated when calling a derived
TotalOrd.cmp.
This corrects this to use
let test = sf1.cmp(&of1);
if test == Equal {
let test = sf2.cmp(&of2);
if test == Equal {
// ...
} else {
test
}
} else {
test
}
This gives a lexical ordering by short-circuiting on the first comparison
that is not Equal.
This is preparation for removing `@fn`.
This does *not* use default methods yet, because I don't know
whether they work. If they do, a forthcoming PR will use them.
This also changes the precedence of `as`.
The pipes compiler produced data types that encoded efficient and safe
bounded message passing protocols between two endpoints. It was also
capable of producing unbounded protocols.
It was useful research but was arguably done before its proper time.
I am removing it for the following reasons:
* In practice we used it only for producing the `oneshot` protcol and
the unbounded `stream` protocol and all communication in Rust use those.
* The interface between the proto! macro and the standard library
has a large surface area and was difficult to maintain through
language and library changes.
* It is now written in an old dialect of Rust and generates code
which would likely be considered non-idiomatic.
* Both the compiler and the runtime are difficult to understand,
and likewise the relationship between the generated code and
the library is hard to understand. Debugging is difficult.
* The new scheduler implements `stream` and `oneshot` by hand
in a way that will be significantly easier to maintain.
This shouldn't be taken as an indication that 'channel protocols'
for Rust are not worth pursuing again in the future.

Change the former repetition::
for 5.times { }
to::
do 5.times { }
.times() cannot be broken with `break` or `return` anymore; for those
cases, use a numerical range loop instead.
