I believe this patch incorporates all expected syntax changes from extern
function reform (#3678). You can now write things like:
extern "<abi>" fn foo(s: S) -> T { ... }
extern "<abi>" mod { ... }
extern "<abi>" fn(S) -> T
The ABI for foreign functions is taken from this syntax (rather than from an
annotation). We support the full ABI specification I described on the mailing
list. The correct ABI is chosen based on the target architecture.
Calls by pointer to C functions are not yet supported, and the Rust type of
crust fns is still *u8.
Removes a lot of instances of `/*bad*/ copy` throughout libsyntax/librustc. On the plus side, this shaves about 2s off of the runtime when compiling `librustc` with optimizations.
Ideally I would have run a profiler to figure out which copies are the most critical to remove, but in reality there was a liberal amount of `git grep`s along with some spot checking and removing the easy ones.
Partial Fix for #5265
- Enabling LLVM ARM ehabi option.
- Add ARM debug information manually for ccall.s
- Compile object file using Android-NDK.
Current LLVM trunk version can generate ARM debug information for assembly files but it is incomplete for object files. Unwinding on ARM can be done with LLVM trunk(the LLVM submodule of rust has problem on generating ARM debug information). See #5368
The Android-NDK detour(0f89eab) can be removed after LLVM has complete feature of generating ARM debug information for object file.

This removes `log` from the language. Because we can't quite implement it as a syntax extension (probably need globals at the least) it simply renames the keyword to `__log` and hides it behind macros.
After this the only way to log is with `debug!`, `info!`, etc. I figure that if there is demand for `log!` we can add it back later.
I am not sure that we ever agreed on this course of action, though I *think* there is consensus that `log` shouldn't be a statement.
