This adds support for lint groups to the compiler. Lint groups are a way of
grouping a number of lints together under one name. For example, this also
defines a default lint for naming conventions, named `bad_style`. Writing
`#[allow(bad_style)]` is equivalent to writing
`#[allow(non_camel_case_types, non_snake_case, non_uppercase_statics)]`. These
lint groups can also be defined as a compiler plugin using the new
`Registry::register_lint_group` method.
This also adds two built-in lint groups, `bad_style` and `unused`. The contents
of these groups can be seen by running `rustc -W help`.
This is done entirely in the libraries for functions up to 16 arguments.
A macro is used so that more arguments can be easily added if we need.
Note that I had to adjust the overloaded call algorithm to not try
calling the overloaded call operator if the callee is a built-in
function type, to prevent loops.
Closes#15448.
At the moment, writing generic functions for integer types that involve shifting is rather verbose. For example, a function at shifts an integer left by 1 currently requires
use std::num::One;
fn f<T: Int>(x : T) -> T {
x << One::one()
}
If the shift amount is not 1, it's even worse:
use std::num::FromPrimitive;
fn f<T: Int + FromPrimitive>(x: T) -> T {
x << FromPrimitive::from_int(2).unwrap()
}
This patch allows the much simpler implementation
fn f<T: Int>(x: T) -> T {
x << 2
}
It accomplishes this by changing the built-in integer types (and the `Int` trait) to implement `Shl<uint, T>` instead of `Shl<T, T>` as it currently is defined. Note that the internal implementations of `shl` already cast the right-hand side to `uint`. `BigInt` also implements `Shl<uint, BigInt>`, so this increases consistency.
All of the above applies similarly to right shifts, i.e., `Shr<uint, T>`.
This will break code that used the old `Index` trait. Change this code
to use the new `Index` traits. For reference, here are their signatures:
pub trait Index<Index,Result> {
fn index<'a>(&'a self, index: &Index) -> &'a Result;
}
pub trait IndexMut<Index,Result> {
fn index_mut<'a>(&'a mut self, index: &Index) -> &'a mut Result;
}
Closes#6515.

Libcore's test infrastructure is complicated by the fact that many lang
items are defined in the crate. The current approach (realcore/realstd
imports) is hacky and hard to work with (tests inside of core::cmp
haven't been run for months!).
Moving tests to a separate crate does mean that they can only test the
public API of libcore, but I don't feel that that is too much of an
issue. The only tests that I had to get rid of were some checking the
various numeric formatters, but those are also exercised through normal
format! calls in other tests.
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 breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

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
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
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.
Closes#12019

This removes most explicit uses of the + argument mode. Pending a
snapshot, I had to remove the forbid(deprecated_modes) pragma from
a bunch of files. I'll put it back!
+ mode still has to be used in a few places for functions that get
moved (see task.rs)
The changes outside core and std are due to the to_bytes trait and
making the compiler (with legacy modes on) agree with the libraries
(with legacy modes off) about modes.
