This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
Rename `FPCategory` to `FpCategory` and `Fp* to `*` in order to adhere to the
naming convention
This is a [breaking-change].
Existing code like this:
```
use std::num::{FPCategory, FPNaN};
```
should be adjusted to this:
```
use std::num::FpCategory as Fp
```
In the following code you can use the constants `Fp::Nan`, `Fp::Normal`, etc.
This commit adds stability markers for the APIs that have recently been
aligned with [numerics
reform](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/369). For APIs that were
changed as part of that reform, `#[unstable]` is used to reflect the
recency, but the APIs will become `#[stable]` in a follow-up pass.
In addition, a few aspects of the APIs not explicitly covered by the RFC
are marked here -- in particular, constants for floats.
This commit does not mark the `uint` or `int` modules as `#[stable]`,
given the ongoing debate out the names and roles of these types.
Due to some deprecation (see the RFC for details), this is a:

This commit adds support in rustdoc to recognize the `#[doc(primitive = "foo")]`
attribute. This attribute indicates that the current module is the "owner" of
the primitive type `foo`. For rustdoc, this means that the doc-comment for the
module is the doc-comment for the primitive type, plus a signal to all
downstream crates that hyperlinks for primitive types will be directed at the
crate containing the `#[doc]` directive.
Additionally, rustdoc will favor crates closest to the one being documented
which "implements the primitive type". For example, documentation of libcore
links to libcore for primitive types, but documentation for libstd and beyond
all links to libstd for primitive types.
This change involves no compiler modifications, it is purely a rustdoc change.
The landing pages for the primitive types primarily serve to show a list of
implemented traits for the primitive type itself.
The primitive types documented includes both strings and slices in a semi-ad-hoc
way, but in a way that should provide at least somewhat meaningful
documentation.
Closes#14474
The Float trait in libstd is quite a large trait which has dependencies on cmath
(libm) and such, which libcore cannot satisfy. It also has many functions that
libcore can implement, however, as LLVM has intrinsics or they're just bit
twiddling.
This commit moves what it can of the Float trait from the standard library into
libcore to allow floats to be usable in the core library. The remaining
functions are now resident in a FloatMath trait in the standard library (in the
prelude now). Previous code which was generic over just the Float trait may now
need to be generic over the FloatMath trait.

This mostly involved frobbing imports between realstd, realcore, and the core
being test. Some of the imports are a little counterintuitive, but it mainly
focuses around libcore's types not implementing Show while libstd's types
implement Show.
This implements all traits inside of core::num for all the primitive types,
removing all the functionality from libstd. The std modules reexport all of the
necessary items from the core modules.
fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
Both expm1 and ln1p have been renamed to exp_m1 and ln_1p in order to be consistent with the underscore usage elsewhere.
The exp_m1 method is used for increased accuracy when doing floating point calculations, so this has been moved from the more general 'Exponential' trait into 'Float'.
After discussions on IRC and #4819, we have decided to revert this change. This is due to the traits expressing different ideas and because hyperbolic functions are not trivially implementable from exponential functions for floating-point types.
The Hyperbolic Functions are trivially implemented in terms of `exp`, so it's simpler to group them the Exponential trait. In the future these would have default implementations.
This is a temporary trait until we have default methods. We don't want to encumber all implementors of Ord by requiring them to implement these functions, but at the same time we want to be able to take advantage of the speed of the specific numeric functions (like the `fmin` and `fmax` intrinsics).
