This pull request updates the rustc manual page to represent post-#19900
state of rustc options better.
A bit unrelatedly, --help output is changed to fix some issues too:
* -g and -O descriptions were changed from deprected flags to the new
codegen flags.
* dep-info value was moved from crate-type to emit flag.

post-unboxed-closure-conversion. This requires a fair amount of
annoying coercions because all the `map` etc types are defined
generically over the `F`, so the automatic coercions don't propagate;
this is compounded by the need to use `let` and not `as` due to
stage0. That said, this pattern is to a large extent temporary and
unusual.
cannot use an `as` expression to coerce, so I used a one-off function
instead (this is a no-op in stage0, but in stage1+ it triggers
coercion from the fn pointer to the fn item type).
The introduced issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/20127 seems serious enough that we may want to enqueue a reversion for now. Feel free to beat me with a fix though @michaelwoerister!
This prints out a transformed version of the input source code where
every function body is replaced with `loop { }`.
All such bodies are (1.) trivial and (2.) guaranteed to pass the
type-checker in a valid compiler; therefore they make very nice input
to start with when narrowing down a bug exposed by a large test input
(such as librustc itself).
This commit completes the deprecation story for the in-tree serialization
library. The compiler will now emit a warning whenever it encounters
`deriving(Encodable)` or `deriving(Decodable)`, and the library itself is now
marked `#[unstable]` for when feature staging is enabled.
All users of serialization can migrate to the `rustc-serialize` crate on
crates.io which provides the exact same interface as the libserialize library
in-tree. The new deriving modes are named `RustcEncodable` and `RustcDecodable`
and require `extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize` at the crate
root in order to expand correctly.
To migrate all crates, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
[dependencies]
rustc-serialize = "0.1.1"
And then add the following to your crate root:
extern crate "rustc-serialize" as rustc_serialize;
Finally, rename `Encodable` and `Decodable` deriving modes to `RustcEncodable`
and `RustcDecodable`.
[breaking-change]
This commit:
*Renames `BinaryHeap::top` to `BinaryHeap::peek`
*Stabilizes `front/back/front_mut/back_mut` in `DList` and `RingBuf`
*Stabilizes `swap` in `RingBuf`
Because of the method renaming, this is a [breaking-change].
This commit starts out by consolidating all `str` extension traits into one
`StrExt` trait to be included in the prelude. This means that
`UnicodeStrPrelude`, `StrPrelude`, and `StrAllocating` have all been merged into
one `StrExt` exported by the standard library. Some functionality is currently
duplicated with the `StrExt` present in libcore.
This commit also currently avoids any methods which require any form of pattern
to operate. These functions will be stabilized via a separate RFC.
Next, stability of methods and structures are as follows:
Stable
* from_utf8_unchecked
* CowString - after moving to std::string
* StrExt::as_bytes
* StrExt::as_ptr
* StrExt::bytes/Bytes - also made a struct instead of a typedef
* StrExt::char_indices/CharIndices - CharOffsets was renamed
* StrExt::chars/Chars
* StrExt::is_empty
* StrExt::len
* StrExt::lines/Lines
* StrExt::lines_any/LinesAny
* StrExt::slice_unchecked
* StrExt::trim
* StrExt::trim_left
* StrExt::trim_right
* StrExt::words/Words - also made a struct instead of a typedef
Unstable
* from_utf8 - the error type was changed to a `Result`, but the error type has
yet to prove itself
* from_c_str - this function will be handled by the c_str RFC
* FromStr - this trait will have an associated error type eventually
* StrExt::escape_default - needs iterators at least, unsure if it should make
the cut
* StrExt::escape_unicode - needs iterators at least, unsure if it should make
the cut
* StrExt::slice_chars - this function has yet to prove itself
* StrExt::slice_shift_char - awaiting conventions about slicing and shifting
* StrExt::graphemes/Graphemes - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::grapheme_indices/GraphemeIndices - this functionality may only be in
libunicode
* StrExt::width - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::utf16_units - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfd_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfkd_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfc_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::nfkc_chars - this functionality may only be in libunicode
* StrExt::is_char_boundary - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_range_at - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_range_at_reverse - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_at - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrExt::char_at_reverse - naming is uncertain with container conventions
* StrVector::concat - this functionality may be replaced with iterators, but
it's not certain at this time
* StrVector::connect - as with concat, may be deprecated in favor of iterators
Deprecated
* StrAllocating and UnicodeStrPrelude have been merged into StrExit
* eq_slice - compiler implementation detail
* from_str - use the inherent parse() method
* is_utf8 - call from_utf8 instead
* replace - call the method instead
* truncate_utf16_at_nul - this is an implementation detail of windows and does
not need to be exposed.
* utf8_char_width - moved to libunicode
* utf16_items - moved to libunicode
* is_utf16 - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Items - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Item - moved to libunicode
* Utf16Encoder - moved to libunicode
* AnyLines - renamed to LinesAny and made a struct
* SendStr - use CowString<'static> instead
* str::raw - all functionality is deprecated
* StrExt::into_string - call to_string() instead
* StrExt::repeat - use iterators instead
* StrExt::char_len - use .chars().count() instead
* StrExt::is_alphanumeric - use .chars().all(..)
* StrExt::is_whitespace - use .chars().all(..)
Pending deprecation -- while slicing syntax is being worked out, these methods
are all #[unstable]
* Str - while currently used for generic programming, this trait will be
replaced with one of [], deref coercions, or a generic conversion trait.
* StrExt::slice - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::slice_to - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::slice_from - use slicing syntax instead
* StrExt::lev_distance - deprecated with no replacement
Awaiting stabilization due to patterns and/or matching
* StrExt::contains
* StrExt::contains_char
* StrExt::split
* StrExt::splitn
* StrExt::split_terminator
* StrExt::rsplitn
* StrExt::match_indices
* StrExt::split_str
* StrExt::starts_with
* StrExt::ends_with
* StrExt::trim_chars
* StrExt::trim_left_chars
* StrExt::trim_right_chars
* StrExt::find
* StrExt::rfind
* StrExt::find_str
* StrExt::subslice_offset
`String::push(&mut self, ch: char)` currently has a single code path that calls `Char::encode_utf8`. This adds a fast path for ASCII `char`s, which are represented as a single byte in UTF-8.
Benchmarks of stage1 libcollections at the intermediate commit show that the fast path very significantly improves the performance of repeatedly pushing an ASCII `char`, but does not significantly affect the performance for a non-ASCII `char` (where the fast path is not taken).
```
bench_push_char_one_byte 59552 ns/iter (+/- 2132) = 167 MB/s
bench_push_char_one_byte_with_fast_path 6563 ns/iter (+/- 658) = 1523 MB/s
bench_push_char_two_bytes 71520 ns/iter (+/- 3541) = 279 MB/s
bench_push_char_two_bytes_with_slow_path 71452 ns/iter (+/- 4202) = 279 MB/s
bench_push_str_one_byte 38910 ns/iter (+/- 2477) = 257 MB/s
```
A benchmark of pushing a one-byte-long `&str` is added for comparison, but its performance [has varied a lot lately](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/19640#issuecomment-67741561). (When the input is fixed, `s.push_str("x")` could be used just as well as `s.push('x')`.)
This patch marks `clone` stable, as well as the `Clone` trait, but
leaves `clone_from` unstable. The latter will be decided by the beta.
The patch also marks most manual implementations of `Clone` as stable,
except where the APIs are otherwise deprecated or where there is
uncertainty about providing `Clone`.

This patch finalizes stabilization for the `cell` module, settling on
the current names `Cell`, `RefCell`, `UnsafeCell`, `Ref` and `RefMut`.
While we had considered improving these names, no one was able to
produce a truly compelling alternative.
There is one substantive change here: the `get` method of `UnsafeSell`
is now marked `unsafe`. Merely getting a raw pointer to the contents is
not, by itself, an unsafe operation. (Consider that you can always
safely turn a reference into a raw pointer, and that raw pointer may
then be aliased by subsequent references.)
