These `where` clauses are accepted everywhere generics are currently
accepted and desugar during type collection to the type parameter bounds
we have today.
A new keyword, `where`, has been added. Therefore, this is a breaking
change. Change uses of `where` to other identifiers.

methods.
This paves the way to associated items by introducing an extra level of
abstraction ("impl-or-trait item") between traits/implementations and
methods. This new abstraction is encoded in the metadata and used
throughout the compiler where appropriate.
There are no functional changes; this is purely a refactoring.
In f1ad425199, I changed the handling
of macros, to prevent macro invocations from occurring in fully expanded
source. Instead, I added a side table. It contained only the
spans of the macros, because this was the only information required
in order to make macro export work.
However, librustdoc was also affected by this change, since it
extracts macro information in a similar way. As a result of the earlier
change, exported macros were no longer documented.
In order to repair this, I've adjusted the side table to contain whole
items, rather than just the spans.
This commit hooks rustdoc into the stability index infrastructure in two
ways:
1. It looks up stability levels via the index, rather than by manual
attributes.
2. It adds stability level information throughout rustdoc output, rather
than just at the top header. In particular, a stability color (with
mouseover text) appears next to essentially every item that appears
in rustdoc's HTML output.
Along the way, the stability index code has been lightly refactored.
This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.

Rustdoc currently doesn't inline documentation of a `pub use` if the target is
publicly reachable. This changes rustdoc to allow a #[doc(inline)] attribute to
force inlining the documentation, regardless of whether the targe is public or
not.

This PR is primarily motivated by (and fixes) #12926.
We currently only have a span for the individual item itself and not for the referred contents. This normally does not cause a problem since both are located in the same file; it *is* possible that the contained statement or item is located in the other file (the syntax extension can do that), but even in that case the syntax extension should be located in the same file as the item. The module item (i.e. `mod foo;`) is the only exception here, and thus warrants a special treatment.
Rustdoc would now distinguish `mod foo;` from `mod foo {...}` by checking if the span for the module item and module contents is in different files. If it's the case, we'd prefer module contents over module item. There are alternative strategies, but as noted above we will have some corner cases if we don't record the contents span explicitly.
the basic strategy is to distinguish `mod foo;` from `mod foo {...}`
by checking if the span for the module item and module contents is
in different files. if it's the case, we prefer module contents.
it is technically possible to fix#12926 without changing the AST,
probably by checking the individual items' span. this is not without
a problem though, since it is possible that some items inside
`mod foo {...}` may have originated from other file (e.g. `include!`).
therefore it is better to record both spans explicitly.
it reflected the obsolete syntax `use a, b, c;` and did not make
past the parser (though it was a non-fatal error so we can continue).
this legacy affected many portions of rustc and rustdoc as well,
so this commit cleans them up altogether.
This change removes the AbiSet from the AST, converting all usage to have just
one Abi value. The current scheme selects a relevant ABI given a list of ABIs
based on the target architecture and how relevant each ABI is to that
architecture.
Instead of this mildly complicated scheme, only one ABI will be allowed in abi
strings, and pseudo-abis will be created for special cases as necessary. For
example the "system" abi exists for stdcall on win32 and C on win64.

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.

This patch replaces all `crate` usage with `krate` before introducing the
new keyword. This ensures that after introducing the keyword, there
won't be any compilation errors.
krate might not be the most expressive substitution for crate but it's a
very close abbreviation for it. `module` was already used in several
places already.
NodeIds are sequential integers starting at zero, so we can achieve some
memory savings by just storing the items all in a line in a vector.
The occupancy for typical crates seems to be 75-80%, so we're already
more efficient than a HashMap (maximum occupancy 75%), not even counting
the extra book-keeping that HashMap does.
If a reexport comes from a non-public module, then the documentation for the
reexport will be inlined into the module that exports it, but if the reexport is
targeted at a public type (like the prelude), then it is not inlined but rather
hyperlinked.
This adds support for the `--test` flag to rustdoc which will parse a crate,
extract all code examples in doc comments, and then run each test in the
extra::test driver.
This slurps up everything inside of an 'extern' block into the enclosing module
in order to document them. The documentation must be on the items themselves,
and they'll show up next to everything else on the module index pages.
Closes#5953
Removes old rustdoc, moves rustdoc_ng into its place instead (plus drops the _ng
suffix). Also shreds all reference to rustdoc_ng from the Makefile rules.
