This commit is an implementation of [RFC 565][rfc] which is a stabilization of
the `std::fmt` module and the implementations of various formatting traits.
Specifically, the following changes were performed:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0565-show-string-guidelines.md
* The `Show` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Debug`
* The `String` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Display`
* Many `Debug` and `Display` implementations were audited in accordance with the
RFC and audited implementations now have the `#[stable]` attribute
* Integers and floats no longer print a suffix
* Smart pointers no longer print details that they are a smart pointer
* Paths with `Debug` are now quoted and escape characters
* The `unwrap` methods on `Result` now require `Display` instead of `Debug`
* The `Error` trait no longer has a `detail` method and now requires that
`Display` must be implemented. With the loss of `String`, this has moved into
libcore.
* `impl<E: Error> FromError<E> for Box<Error>` now exists
* `derive(Show)` has been renamed to `derive(Debug)`. This is not currently
warned about due to warnings being emitted on stage1+
While backwards compatibility is attempted to be maintained with a blanket
implementation of `Display` for the old `String` trait (and the same for
`Show`/`Debug`) this is still a breaking change due to primitives no longer
implementing `String` as well as modifications such as `unwrap` and the `Error`
trait. Most code is fairly straightforward to update with a rename or tweaks of
method calls.

In accordance with [collections reform part 2][rfc] this macro has been moved to
an external [bitflags crate][crate] which is [available though
crates.io][cratesio]. Inside the standard distribution the macro has been moved
to a crate called `rustc_bitflags` for current users to continue using.

[crate]: https://github.com/rust-lang/bitflags
[cratesio]: http://crates.io/crates/bitflags
The major user of `bitflags!` in terms of a public-facing possibly-stable API
today is the `FilePermissions` structure inside of `std::io`. This user,
however, will likely no longer use `bitflags!` after I/O reform has landed. To
prevent breaking APIs today, this structure remains as-is.
Current users of the `bitflags!` macro should add this to their `Cargo.toml`:
bitflags = "0.1"
and this to their crate root:
#[macro_use] extern crate bitflags;

This partially implements the feature staging described in the
[release channel RFC][rc]. It does not yet fully conform to the RFC as
written, but does accomplish its goals sufficiently for the 1.0 alpha
release.
It has three primary user-visible effects:
* On the nightly channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of feature gates generates a warning.
Code that does not trigger these warnings is considered 'stable',
modulo pre-1.0 bugs.
Disabling the warnings for unstable APIs continues to be done in the
existing (i.e. old) style, via `#[allow(...)]`, not that specified in
the RFC. I deem this marginally acceptable since any code that must do
this is not using the stable dialect of Rust.
Use of feature gates is itself gated with the new 'unstable_features'
lint, on nightly set to 'allow', and on beta 'warn'.
The attribute scheme used here corresponds to an older version of the
RFC, with the `#[staged_api]` crate attribute toggling the staging
behavior of the stability attributes, but the user impact is only
in-tree so I'm not concerned about having to make design changes later
(and I may ultimately prefer the scheme here after all, with the
`#[staged_api]` crate attribute).
Since the Rust codebase itself makes use of unstable features the
compiler and build system do a midly elaborate dance to allow it to
bootstrap while disobeying these lints (which would otherwise be
errors because Rust builds with `-D warnings`).
This patch includes one significant hack that causes a
regression. Because the `format_args!` macro emits calls to unstable
APIs it would trigger the lint. I added a hack to the lint to make it
not trigger, but this in turn causes arguments to `println!` not to be
checked for feature gates. I don't presently understand macro
expansion well enough to fix. This is bug #20661.
Closes#16678
[rc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0507-release-channels.md
Next steps are to disable the existing out-of-tree behavior for stability attributes, and convert the remaining system to be feature-based per the RFC. During the first beta cycle we will set these lints to 'forbid'.
To avoid using the feauture, change uses of `box <expr>` to
`Box::new(<expr>)` alternative, as noted by the feature gate message.
(Note that box patterns have no analogous trivial replacement, at
least not in general; you need to revise the code to do a partial
match, deref, and then the rest of the match.)

This commit performs a pass over the `std::macros` module, applying stability
attributes where necessary. In particular, this audits macros for patterns such
as:
* Standard use of forward-to-format-args via `$($arg:tt)*` (or `+`)
* Prevent macro-defined identifiers from leaking into expression arguments as
hygiene is not perfectly implemented.
* Wherever possible, `$crate` is used now.
Specifically, the following actions were taken:
* The `std::macros` module itself is no longer public.
* The `panic!` macro is stable
* The `assert!` macro is stable
* The `assert_eq!` macro is stable
* The `debug_assert!` macro is stable
* The `debug_assert_eq!` macro is stable
* The `unreachable!` macro is stable after removing the extra forms to bring the
definition in line with the `unimplemented!` macro.
* The `try!` macro is stable
* The `vec!` macro is stable

This commit aims to prepare the `std::hash` module for alpha by formalizing its
current interface whileholding off on adding `#[stable]` to the new APIs. The
current usage with the `HashMap` and `HashSet` types is also reconciled by
separating out composable parts of the design. The primary goal of this slight
redesign is to separate the concepts of a hasher's state from a hashing
algorithm itself.
The primary change of this commit is to separate the `Hasher` trait into a
`Hasher` and a `HashState` trait. Conceptually the old `Hasher` trait was
actually just a factory for various states, but hashing had very little control
over how these states were used. Additionally the old `Hasher` trait was
actually fairly unrelated to hashing.
This commit redesigns the existing `Hasher` trait to match what the notion of a
`Hasher` normally implies with the following definition:
trait Hasher {
type Output;
fn reset(&mut self);
fn finish(&self) -> Output;
}
This `Hasher` trait emphasizes that hashing algorithms may produce outputs other
than a `u64`, so the output type is made generic. Other than that, however, very
little is assumed about a particular hasher. It is left up to implementors to
provide specific methods or trait implementations to feed data into a hasher.
The corresponding `Hash` trait becomes:
trait Hash<H: Hasher> {
fn hash(&self, &mut H);
}
The old default of `SipState` was removed from this trait as it's not something
that we're willing to stabilize until the end of time, but the type parameter is
always required to implement `Hasher`. Note that the type parameter `H` remains
on the trait to enable multidispatch for specialization of hashing for
particular hashers.
Note that `Writer` is not mentioned in either of `Hash` or `Hasher`, it is
simply used as part `derive` and the implementations for all primitive types.
With these definitions, the old `Hasher` trait is realized as a new `HashState`
trait in the `collections::hash_state` module as an unstable addition for
now. The current definition looks like:
trait HashState {
type Hasher: Hasher;
fn hasher(&self) -> Hasher;
}
The purpose of this trait is to emphasize that the one piece of functionality
for implementors is that new instances of `Hasher` can be created. This
conceptually represents the two keys from which more instances of a
`SipHasher` can be created, and a `HashState` is what's stored in a
`HashMap`, not a `Hasher`.
Implementors of custom hash algorithms should implement the `Hasher` trait, and
only hash algorithms intended for use in hash maps need to implement or worry
about the `HashState` trait.
The entire module and `HashState` infrastructure remains `#[unstable]` due to it
being recently redesigned, but some other stability decision made for the
`std::hash` module are:
* The `Writer` trait remains `#[experimental]` as it's intended to be replaced
with an `io::Writer` (more details soon).
* The top-level `hash` function is `#[unstable]` as it is intended to be generic
over the hashing algorithm instead of hardwired to `SipHasher`
* The inner `sip` module is now private as its one export, `SipHasher` is
reexported in the `hash` module.
And finally, a few changes were made to the default parameters on `HashMap`.
* The `RandomSipHasher` default type parameter was renamed to `RandomState`.
This renaming emphasizes that it is not a hasher, but rather just state to
generate hashers. It also moves away from the name "sip" as it may not always
be implemented as `SipHasher`. This type lives in the
`std::collections::hash_map` module as `#[unstable]`
* The associated `Hasher` type of `RandomState` is creatively called...
`Hasher`! This concrete structure lives next to `RandomState` as an
implemenation of the "default hashing algorithm" used for a `HashMap`. Under
the hood this is currently implemented as `SipHasher`, but it draws an
explicit interface for now and allows us to modify the implementation over
time if necessary.
There are many breaking changes outlined above, and as a result this commit is

[breaking-change]
This PR introduces `isize` and `usize` modules to `core` and `std`, and
deprecates the existing `int` and `uint` modules. The rustdoc primitive
type links now point to these new modules.

Many of libstd's macros are now re-exported from libcore and libcollections.
Their libstd definitions have moved to a macros_stage0 module and can disappear
after the next snapshot.
Where the two crates had already diverged, I took the libstd versions as
they're generally newer and better-tested. See e.g. d3c831b, which was a fix to
libstd's assert_eq!() that didn't make it into libcore's.
Fixes#16806.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 494][rfc] which removes the entire
`std::c_vec` module and redesigns the `std::c_str` module as `std::ffi`.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0494-c_str-and-c_vec-stability.md
The interface of the new `CString` is outlined in the linked RFC, the primary
changes being:
* The `ToCStr` trait is gone, meaning the `with_c_str` and `to_c_str` methods
are now gone. These two methods are replaced with a `CString::from_slice`
method.
* The `CString` type is now just a wrapper around `Vec<u8>` with a static
guarantee that there is a trailing nul byte with no internal nul bytes. This
means that `CString` now implements `Deref<Target = [c_char]>`, which is where
it gains most of its methods from. A few helper methods are added to acquire a
slice of `u8` instead of `c_char`, as well as including a slice with the
trailing nul byte if necessary.
* All usage of non-owned `CString` values is now done via two functions inside
of `std::ffi`, called `c_str_to_bytes` and `c_str_to_bytes_with_nul`. These
functions are now the one method used to convert a `*const c_char` to a Rust
slice of `u8`.
Many more details, including newly deprecated methods, can be found linked in
the RFC. This is a:

Closes#20444
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.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization
story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports.
Some reexports are kept around, however:
* `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn.
* `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to
prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed.
* All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all
at once to `std::io::prelude::*`.
This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and
the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to
find the locations of where to import them.

Closes#20068
This is a [breaking-change]. The new rules require that, for an impl of a trait defined
in some other crate, two conditions must hold:
1. Some type must be local.
2. Every type parameter must appear "under" some local type.
Here are some examples that are legal:
```rust
struct MyStruct<T> { ... }
// Here `T` appears "under' `MyStruct`.
impl<T> Clone for MyStruct<T> { }
// Here `T` appears "under' `MyStruct` as well. Note that it also appears
// elsewhere.
impl<T> Iterator<T> for MyStruct<T> { }
```
Here is an illegal example:
```rust
// Here `U` does not appear "under" `MyStruct` or any other local type.
// We call `U` "uncovered".
impl<T,U> Iterator<U> for MyStruct<T> { }
```
There are a couple of ways to rewrite this last example so that it is
legal:
1. In some cases, the uncovered type parameter (here, `U`) should be converted
into an associated type. This is however a non-local change that requires access
to the original trait. Also, associated types are not fully baked.
2. Add `U` as a type parameter of `MyStruct`:
```rust
struct MyStruct<T,U> { ... }
impl<T,U> Iterator<U> for MyStruct<T,U> { }
```
3. Create a newtype wrapper for `U`
```rust
impl<T,U> Iterator<Wrapper<U>> for MyStruct<T,U> { }
```
Because associated types are not fully baked, which in the case of the
`Hash` trait makes adhering to this rule impossible, you can
temporarily disable this rule in your crate by using
`#![feature(old_orphan_check)]`. Note that the `old_orphan_check`
feature will be removed before 1.0 is released.
The new semantics of this function are that the callbacks are run when the *main
thread* exits, not when all threads have exited. This implies that other threads
may still be running when the `at_exit` callbacks are invoked and users need to
be prepared for this situation.
Users in the standard library have been audited in accordance to these new rules
as well.

This commit takes a second pass through the `vec` module to
stabilize its API. The changes are as follows:
**Stable**:
* `dedup`
* `from_raw_parts`
* `insert`
* `into_iter`
* `is_empty`
* `remove`
* `reserve_exact`
* `reserve`
* `retain`
* `swap_remove`
* `truncate`
**Deprecated**:
* `from_fn`, `from_elem`, `grow_fn` and `grow`, all deprecated in
favor of iterators. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/509
* `partition`, `partitioned`, deprecated in favor of a new, more
general iterator consumer called `partition`.
* `unzip`, deprecated in favor of a new, more general iterator
consumer called `unzip`.
A few remaining methods are left at experimental status.
[breaking-change]
This commit is a second pass stabilization for the `std::comm` module,
performing the following actions:
* The entire `std::comm` module was moved under `std::sync::mpsc`. This movement
reflects that channels are just yet another synchronization primitive, and
they don't necessarily deserve a special place outside of the other
concurrency primitives that the standard library offers.
* The `send` and `recv` methods have all been removed.
* The `send_opt` and `recv_opt` methods have been renamed to `send` and `recv`.
This means that all send/receive operations return a `Result` now indicating
whether the operation was successful or not.
* The error type of `send` is now a `SendError` to implement a custom error
message and allow for `unwrap()`. The error type contains an `into_inner`
method to extract the value.
* The error type of `recv` is now `RecvError` for the same reasons as `send`.
* The `TryRecvError` and `TrySendError` types have had public reexports removed
of their variants and the variant names have been tweaked with enum
namespacing rules.
* The `Messages` iterator is renamed to `Iter`
This functionality is now all `#[stable]`:
* `Sender`
* `SyncSender`
* `Receiver`
* `std::sync::mpsc`
* `channel`
* `sync_channel`
* `Iter`
* `Sender::send`
* `Sender::clone`
* `SyncSender::send`
* `SyncSender::try_send`
* `SyncSender::clone`
* `Receiver::recv`
* `Receiver::try_recv`
* `Receiver::iter`
* `SendError`
* `RecvError`
* `TrySendError::{mod, Full, Disconnected}`
* `TryRecvError::{mod, Empty, Disconnected}`
* `SendError::into_inner`
* `TrySendError::into_inner`
This is a breaking change due to the modification of where this module is
located, as well as the changing of the semantics of `send` and `recv`. Most
programs just need to rename imports of `std::comm` to `std::sync::mpsc` and
add calls to `unwrap` after a send or a receive operation.

Closes#20068
This commit modifies rustdoc to not require these empty modules to be public in
the standard library. The modules still remain as a location to attach
documentation to, but the modules themselves are now private (don't have to
commit to an API). The documentation for the standard library now shows all of
the primitive types on the main index page.
This commit is part of a series that introduces a `std::thread` API to
replace `std::task`.
In the new API, `spawn` returns a `JoinGuard`, which by default will
join the spawned thread when dropped. It can also be used to join
explicitly at any time, returning the thread's result. Alternatively,
the spawned thread can be explicitly detached (so no join takes place).
As part of this change, Rust processes now terminate when the main
thread exits, even if other detached threads are still running, moving
Rust closer to standard threading models. This new behavior may break code
that was relying on the previously implicit join-all.
In addition to the above, the new thread API also offers some built-in
support for building blocking abstractions in user space; see the module
doc for details.

This commit removes the `std::local_data` module in favor of a new
`std::thread_local` module providing thread local storage. The module provides
two variants of TLS: one which owns its contents and one which is based on
scoped references. Each implementation has pros and cons listed in the
documentation.
Both flavors have accessors through a function called `with` which yield a
reference to a closure provided. Both flavors also panic if a reference cannot
be yielded and provide a function to test whether an access would panic or not.

This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `std::local_data` module.
All users can migrate to the new thread local system like so:

Following [the collections reform
RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/235),
this commit adds a new `borrow` module to libcore.
The module contains traits for borrowing data (`BorrowFrom` and
`BorrowFromMut`),
generalized cloning (`ToOwned`), and a clone-on-write smartpointer (`Cow`).
These modules will house the code that used to be part of the runtime system
in libnative. The `sys_common` module contains a few low-level but
cross-platform details. The `sys` module is set up using `#[cfg()]` to
include either a unix or windows implementation of a common API
surface. This API surface is *not* exported directly in `libstd`, but is
instead used to bulid `std::os` and `std::io`.
Ultimately, the low-level details in `sys` will be exposed in a
controlled way through a separate platform-specific surface, but that
setup is not part of this patch.

The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:
use foo::bar;
use baz::bar;
Change this code to the following:
use baz::bar;
Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:
use foo::*; // including `bar`
use baz::bar;
Change this code to remove the glob:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz::bar;
Or qualify all uses of `bar`:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz;
... baz::bar ...
Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.
extern crate std;
Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.
The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.

- created new crate, libunicode, below libstd
- split Char trait into Char (libcore) and UnicodeChar (libunicode)
- Unicode-aware functions now live in libunicode
- is_alphabetic, is_XID_start, is_XID_continue, is_lowercase,
is_uppercase, is_whitespace, is_alphanumeric, is_control,
is_digit, to_uppercase, to_lowercase
- added width method in UnicodeChar trait
- determines printed width of character in columns, or None if it is
a non-NULL control character
- takes a boolean argument indicating whether the present context is
CJK or not (characters with 'A'mbiguous widths are double-wide in
CJK contexts, single-wide otherwise)
- split StrSlice into StrSlice (libcore) and UnicodeStrSlice
(libunicode)
- functionality formerly in StrSlice that relied upon Unicode
functionality from Char is now in UnicodeStrSlice
- words, is_whitespace, is_alphanumeric, trim, trim_left, trim_right
- also moved Words type alias into libunicode because words method is
in UnicodeStrSlice
- unified Unicode tables from libcollections, libcore, and libregex into
libunicode
- updated unicode.py in src/etc to generate aforementioned tables
- generated new tables based on latest Unicode data
- added UnicodeChar and UnicodeStrSlice traits to prelude
- libunicode is now the collection point for the std::char module,
combining the libunicode functionality with the Char functionality
from libcore
- thus, moved doc comment for char from core::char to unicode::char
- libcollections remains the collection point for std::str
The Unicode-aware functions that previously lived in the Char and
StrSlice traits are no longer available to programs that only use
libcore. To regain use of these methods, include the libunicode crate
and use the UnicodeChar and/or UnicodeStrSlice traits:
extern crate unicode;
use unicode::UnicodeChar;
use unicode::UnicodeStrSlice;
use unicode::Words; // if you want to use the words() method
NOTE: this does *not* impact programs that use libstd, since UnicodeChar
and UnicodeStrSlice have been added to the prelude.

While `HashMap::new` and `HashMap::with_capacity` were being initialized with a random `SipHasher`, it turns out that `HashMap::from_iter` was just using the default instance of `SipHasher`, which wasn't randomized. This closes that bug, and also inlines some important methods.
Earlier commits have established a baseline of `experimental` stability
for all crates under the facade (so their contents are considered
experimental within libstd). Since `experimental` is `allow` by
default, we should use the same baseline stability for libstd itself.
This commit adds `experimental` tags to all of the modules defined in
`std`, and `unstable` to `std` itself.
It turns out that HashMap's from_iter implementation was being
initialized without the sip keys being randomized. This adds
a custom default hasher that should avoid this potential vulnerability.
This change starts denying `*T` in the parser. All code using `*T` should ensure
that the FFI call does indeed take `const T*` on the other side before renaming
the type to `*const T`.
Otherwise, all code can rename `*T` to `*const T`.

This commit is the final step in the libstd facade, #13851. The purpose of this
commit is to move libsync underneath the standard library, behind the facade.
This will allow core primitives like channels, queues, and atomics to all live
in the same location.
There were a few notable changes and a few breaking changes as part of this
movement:
* The `Vec` and `String` types are reexported at the top level of libcollections
* The `unreachable!()` macro was copied to libcore
* The `std::rt::thread` module was moved to librustrt, but it is still
reexported at the same location.
* The `std::comm` module was moved to libsync
* The `sync::comm` module was moved under `sync::comm`, and renamed to `duplex`.
It is now a private module with types/functions being reexported under
`sync::comm`. This is a breaking change for any existing users of duplex
streams.
* All concurrent queues/deques were moved directly under libsync. They are also
all marked with #![experimental] for now if they are public.
* The `task_pool` and `future` modules no longer live in libsync, but rather
live under `std::sync`. They will forever live at this location, but they may
move to libsync if the `std::task` module moves as well.

This commit uses the same trick as ~/Box to map Gc<T> to @T internally inside
the compiler. This moves a number of implementations of traits to the `gc`
module in the standard library.
This removes functions such as `Gc::new`, `Gc::borrow`, and `Gc::ptr_eq` in
favor of the more modern equivalents, `box(GC)`, `Deref`, and pointer equality.
The Gc pointer itself should be much more useful now, and subsequent commits

As with the previous commit with `librand`, this commit shuffles around some
`collections` code. The new state of the world is similar to that of librand:
* The libcollections crate now only depends on libcore and liballoc.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::collections`. All functionality
of libcollections is reexported through this module.
I would like to stress that this change is purely cosmetic. There are very few
alterations to these primitives.
There are a number of notable points about the new organization:
* std::{str, slice, string, vec} all moved to libcollections. There is no reason
that these primitives shouldn't be necessarily usable in a freestanding
context that has allocation. These are all reexported in their usual places in
the standard library.
* The `hashmap`, and transitively the `lru_cache`, modules no longer reside in
`libcollections`, but rather in libstd. The reason for this is because the
`HashMap::new` contructor requires access to the OSRng for initially seeding
the hash map. Beyond this requirement, there is no reason that the hashmap
could not move to libcollections.
I do, however, have a plan to move the hash map to the collections module. The
`HashMap::new` function could be altered to require that the `H` hasher
parameter ascribe to the `Default` trait, allowing the entire `hashmap` module
to live in libcollections. The key idea would be that the default hasher would
be different in libstd. Something along the lines of:
// src/libstd/collections/mod.rs
pub type HashMap<K, V, H = RandomizedSipHasher> =
core_collections::HashMap<K, V, H>;
This is not possible today because you cannot invoke static methods through
type aliases. If we modified the compiler, however, to allow invocation of
static methods through type aliases, then this type definition would
essentially be switching the default hasher from `SipHasher` in libcollections
to a libstd-defined `RandomizedSipHasher` type. This type's `Default`
implementation would randomly seed the `SipHasher` instance, and otherwise
perform the same as `SipHasher`.
This future state doesn't seem incredibly far off, but until that time comes,
the hashmap module will live in libstd to not compromise on functionality.
* In preparation for the hashmap moving to libcollections, the `hash` module has
moved from libstd to libcollections. A previously snapshotted commit enables a
distinct `Writer` trait to live in the `hash` module which `Hash`
implementations are now parameterized over.
Due to using a custom trait, the `SipHasher` implementation has lost its
specialized methods for writing integers. These can be re-added
backwards-compatibly in the future via default methods if necessary, but the
FNV hashing should satisfy much of the need for speedier hashing.
A list of breaking changes:
* HashMap::{get, get_mut} no longer fails with the key formatted into the error
message with `{:?}`, instead, a generic message is printed. With backtraces,
it should still be not-too-hard to track down errors.
* The HashMap, HashSet, and LruCache types are now available through
std::collections instead of the collections crate.
* Manual implementations of hash should be parameterized over `hash::Writer`
instead of just `Writer`.

This commit shuffles around some of the `rand` code, along with some
reorganization. The new state of the world is as follows:
* The librand crate now only depends on libcore. This interface is experimental.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::rand`. This interface will
eventually become stable.
Unfortunately, this entailed more of a breaking change than just shuffling some
names around. The following breaking changes were made to the rand library:
* Rng::gen_vec() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_iter() which
will return an infinite stream of random values. Previous behavior can be
regained with `rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()`
* Rng::gen_ascii_str() was removed. This has been replaced with
Rng::gen_ascii_chars() which will return an infinite stream of random ascii
characters. Similarly to gen_iter(), previous behavior can be emulated with
`rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()`
* {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all
relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer
available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same
functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be
generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows
the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs.
* Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be
pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for librand to not depend on
liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not
supported. If this is undesirable, librand can depend on liballoc and regain
these implementations.
* The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`,
but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice
structure now has a lifetime associated with it.
* The `sample` method on `Rng` has been moved to a top-level function in the
`rand` module due to its dependence on `Vec`.

This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be

using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.

This commit is part of the libstd facade RFC, issue #13851. This creates a new
library, liballoc, which is intended to be the core allocation library for all
of Rust. It is pinned on the basic assumption that an allocation failure is an
abort or failure.
This module has inherited the heap/libc_heap modules from std::rt, the owned/rc
modules from std, and the arc module from libsync. These three pointers are
currently the three most core pointer implementations in Rust.
The UnsafeArc type in std::sync should be considered deprecated and replaced by
Arc<Unsafe<T>>. This commit does not currently migrate to this type, but future
commits will continue this refactoring.
Now that std::fmt is in libcore, it's possible to implement this as an inherit
method rather than through extension traits.
This commit also tweaks the failure interface of libcore to libstd to what it
should be, one method taking &fmt::Arguments
The compiler was updated to recognize that implementations for ty_uniq(..) are
allowed if the Box lang item is located in the current crate. This enforces the
idea that libcore cannot allocated, and moves all related trait implementations
from libcore to libstd.
This is a breaking change in that the AnyOwnExt trait has moved from the any
module to the owned module. Any previous users of std::any::AnyOwnExt should now
use std::owned::AnyOwnExt instead. This was done because the trait is intended
for Box traits and only Box traits.

This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes
all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely,
folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate
of each function in the `cast` module.
* transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as
#[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute`
function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment).
For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898
* transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is
is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different
sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This
function is now #[stable]
* forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable]
* bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of
managed boxes as well as its questionable utility.
* transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part
of this commit.
* transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it
can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was
removed.
* transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong
indication that code is incorrect in the first place.
* transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as
`transmute_lifetime`
* copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked
`#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in
the future if it is found to not be very useful.
* copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same
treatment as `copy_lifetime`.
* copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today,
and its existence is not necessary with DST
(copy_lifetime will suffice).
In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the
functions were moved to the `mem` module.

Also move prelude explanation to the prelude module.
This tries to provide a guide to what's in the standard library, organized bottom up from primitives to I/O.
This currently requires linking against a library like libquadmath (or
libgcc), because compiler-rt barely has any support for this and most
hardware does not yet have 128-bit precision floating point. For this
reason, it's currently hidden behind a feature gate.
When compiler-rt is updated to trunk, some tests can be added for
constant evaluation since there will be support for the comparison
operators.

A vector can reuse its allocation (and the allocations/resources of any
contained values) when cloning into an already-instantiated vector, so
we might as well do so.
The `Float` trait methods will be usable as functions via UFCS, and
we came to a consensus to remove duplicate functions like this a long
time ago.
It does still make sense to keep the duplicate functions when the trait
methods are static, unless the decision to leave out the in-scope trait
name resolution for static methods changes.
This is an implementation detail of the `f32` and `f64` modules and it
should not be public. It renames many functions and leaves out any
provided by LLVM intrinsics, so it is not a sensible binding to the C
standard library's math library and will never be a stable target.
This also removes the abuse of link_name so that this can be switched to
using automatically generated definitions in the future. This also
removes the `scalbn` binding as it is equivalent to `ldexp` when
`FLT_RADIX` is 2, which must always be true for Rust.
This is the final nail in the coffin for the crate map. The `start` function for
libgreen now has a new added parameter which is the event loop factory instead
of inferring it from the crate map. The two current valid values for this
parameter are `green::basic::event_loop` and `rustuv::event_loop`.
The compiler will no longer inject libgreen as the default runtime for rust
programs, this commit switches it over to libnative by default. Now that
libnative has baked for some time, it is ready enough to start getting more
serious usage as the default runtime for rustc generated binaries.
We've found that there isn't really a correct decision in choosing a 1:1 or M:N
runtime as a default for all applications, but it seems that a larger number of
programs today would work more reasonable with a native default rather than a
green default.
With this commit come a number of bugfixes:
* The main native task is now named "<main>"
* The main native task has the stack bounds set up properly
* #[no_uv] was renamed to #[no_start]
* The core-run-destroy test was rewritten for both libnative and libgreen and
one of the tests was modified to be more robust.
* The process-detach test was locked to libgreen because it uses signal handling
`Share` implies that all *reachable* content is *threadsafe*.
Threadsafe is defined as "exposing no operation that permits a data race if multiple threads have access to a &T pointer simultaneously". (NB: the type system should guarantee that if you have access to memory via a &T pointer, the only other way to gain access to that memory is through another &T pointer)...

This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external
crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros
and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are:
* The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It
has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost
exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the
end goals of this movement.
* The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the
__log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module
specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging
system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler
itself.
* Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a
magical crate map being available to set module log levels.
* If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's
no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the
highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should
be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one
provided in the rust distribution.
With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some
subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros:
* The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical
log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but
there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level
is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously
generated logging code looked like:
if specified_level <= __module_log_level() {
println!(...)
}
The newly generated code looks like:
if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL {
if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) {
println!(...)
}
}
Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in
that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of
checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have
logging turned on.
This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules
with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive
dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not).
Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but
runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code.
* A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules
that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the
log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally,
warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was
supplied.
The new "hello world" for logging looks like:
#[phase(syntax, link)]
extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("Hello, world!");
}
This commit shreds all remnants of libextra from the compiler and standard
distribution. Two modules, c_vec/tempfile, were moved into libstd after some
cleanup, and the other modules were moved to separate crates as seen fit.

This functionality is not super-core and so doesn't need to be included
in std. It's possible that std may need rand (it does a little bit now,
for io::test) in which case the functionality required could be moved to
a secret hidden module and reexposed by librand.
Unfortunately, using #[deprecated] here is hard: there's too much to
mock to make it feasible, since we have to ensure that programs still
typecheck to reach the linting phase.
It is often convenient to have forms of weak linkage or other various types of
linkage. Sadly, just using these flavors of linkage are not compatible with
Rust's typesystem and how it considers some pointers to be non-null.
As a compromise, this commit adds support for weak linkage to external symbols,
but it requires that this is only placed on extern statics of type `*T`.
Codegen-wise, we get translations like:
// rust code
extern {
#[linkage = "extern_weak"]
static foo: *i32;
}
// generated IR
@foo = extern_weak global i32
@_some_internal_symbol = internal global *i32 @foo
All references to the rust value of `foo` then reference `_some_internal_symbol`
instead of the symbol `_foo` itself. This allows us to guarantee that the
address of `foo` will never be null while the value may sometimes be null.
An example was implemented in `std::rt::thread` to determine if
`__pthread_get_minstack()` is available at runtime, and a test is checked in to
use it for a static value as well. Function pointers a little odd because you
still need to transmute the pointer value to a function pointer, but it's
thankfully better than not having this capability at all.
This patch series does a couple things:
* replaces manual `Hash` implementations with `#[deriving(Hash)]`
* adds `Hash` back to `std::prelude`

The std::run module is a relic from a standard library long since past, and
there's not much use to having two modules to execute processes with where one

std::run.
New things you can find in std::io::process are:
* Process::new() now only takes prog/args
* Process::configure() takes a ProcessConfig
* Process::status() is the same as run::process_status
* Process::output() is the same as run::process_output
* I/O for spawned tasks is now defaulted to captured in pipes instead of ignored
* Process::kill() was added (plus an associated green/native implementation)
* Process::wait_with_output() is the same as the old finish_with_output()
* destroy() is now signal_exit()
* force_destroy() is now signal_kill()

With the stability attributes we can put public-but unstable modules next to others, so this moves `intrinsics` and `raw` out of the `unstable` module (and marks both as `#[experimental]`).
These two containers are indeed collections, so their place is in
libcollections, not in libstd. There will always be a hash map as part of the
standard distribution of Rust, but by moving it out of the standard library it
makes libstd that much more portable to more platforms and environments.
This conveniently also removes the stuttering of 'std::hashmap::HashMap',
although 'collections::HashMap' is only one character shorter.
This patch merges IterBytes and Hash traits, which clears up the
confusion of using `#[deriving(IterBytes)]` to support hashing.
Instead, it now is much easier to use the new `#[deriving(Hash)]`
for making a type hashable with a stream hash.
Furthermore, it supports custom non-stream-based hashers, such as
if a value's hash was cached in a database.
