# Changes to `core::option`
Most of the module is marked as stable or unstable; most of the unstable items are awaiting resolution of conventions issues.
However, a few methods have been deprecated, either due to lack of use or redundancy:
* `take_unwrap`, `get_ref` and `get_mut_ref` (redundant, and we prefer for this functionality to go through an explicit .unwrap)
* `filtered` and `while`
* `mutate` and `mutate_or_set`
* `collect`: this functionality is being moved to a new `FromIterator` impl.
# Changes to `core::result`
Most of the module is marked as stable or unstable; most of the unstable items are awaiting resolution of conventions issues.
* `collect`: this functionality is being moved to a new `FromIterator` impl.
* `fold_` is deprecated due to lack of use
* Several methods found in `core::option` are added here, including `iter`, `as_slice`, and variants.
Due to deprecations, this is a:

This partially implements RFC 38. A snapshot will be needed to turn this
on, because stage0 cannot yet parse the keyword.
Part of #12381.
For historical reasons, "Win32" has been used in Rust codebase to mean "Windows OS in general".
This is confusing, especially now, that Rust supports Win64 builds.

With this change:
* `--pretty variant=<node-id>` will print the item associated with
`<node-id>` (where `<node-id>` is an integer for some node-id in
the AST, and `variant` means one of {`normal`,`expanded`,...}).
* `--pretty variant=<path-suffix>` will print all of the items that
match the `<path-suffix>` (where `<path-suffix>` is a suffix of a
path, and `variant` again means one of {`normal`,`expanded`,...}).
Example 1: the suffix `typeck::check::check_struct` matches the
item with the path `rustc::middle::typeck::check::check_struct`
when compiling the `rustc` crate.
Example 2: the suffix `and` matches `core::option::Option::and`
and `core::result::Result::and` when compiling the `core` crate.
Both of the `--pretty variant=...` modes will include the full path to
the item in a comment that follows the item.
Note that when multiple paths match, then either:
1. all matching items are printed, in series; this is what happens in
the usual pretty-print variants, or
2. the compiler signals an error; this is what happens in flowgraph
printing.

Some drive-by improvements:
Heavily refactored the pretty-printing glue in driver.rs, introducing
a couple local traits to avoid cut-and-pasting very code segments that
differed only in how they accessed the `Session` or the
`ast_map::Map`. (Note the previous code had three similar calls to
`print_crate` which have all been unified in this revision; the
addition of printing individual node-ids exacerbated the situation
beyond tolerance.) We may want to consider promoting some of these
traits, e.g. `SessionCarrier`, for use more generally elsewhere in the
compiler; right now I have to double check how to access the `Session`
depending on what context I am hacking in.
Refactored `PpMode` to make the data directly reflect the fundamental
difference in the categories (in terms of printing source-code with
various annotations, versus printing a control-flow graph).
(also, addressed review feedback.)
Not included are two required patches:
* LLVM: segmented stack support for DragonFly [1]
* jemalloc: simple configure patches
[1]: http://reviews.llvm.org/D4705
When invoking the compiler in parallel, the intermediate output of the object
files and bytecode can stomp over one another if two crates with the same name
are being compiled.
The output file is already being disambiguated with `-C extra-filename`, so this
commit alters the naming of the temporary files to also mix in the extra
filename to ensure that file names don't clash.
except where trait objects are involved.
Part of issue #15349, though I'm leaving it open for trait objects.
Cross borrowing for trait objects remains because it is needed until we
have DST.
This will break code like:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(a);
Change this code to:
fn foo(x: &int) { ... }
let a = box 3i;
foo(&*a);

The default code model is usually unsuitable for kernels,
so we add an option to specify which model we want.
Testing for this would be fragile and very architecture specific and is better left to LLVM.
Disabling the redzone is required in x86-64's kernel mode to avoid interrupts trashing the stack.
I'm not sure if decl_fn is the right place to tag all functions with noredzone. It might have interactions with external functions when linking with bitcode built without -C no-redzone although I see no reason to do that.
I'm not sure how to write a test inspecting the bitcode output for noredzone attributes on all functions either.
Use one or more of the following `-Z` flag options to tell the
graphviz renderer to include the corresponding dataflow sets (after
the iterative constraint propagation reaches a fixed-point solution):
* `-Z flowgraph-print-loans` : loans computed via middle::borrowck
* `-Z flowgraph-print-moves` : moves computed via middle::borrowck::move_data
* `-Z flowgraph-print-assigns` : assignments, via middle::borrowck::move_data
* `-Z flowgraph-print-all` : all of the available sets are included.
Fix#15016.

This also adds a module, `syntax::ast_map::blocks`, that captures a
common abstraction shared amongst code blocks and procedure-like
things. As part of this, moved `ast_map.rs` to subdir
`ast_map/mod.rs`, to follow our directory layout conventions.
(incorporated review feedback from huon, acrichto.)
Our AST definition can include macro invocations, which can expand into all kinds of things. Macro invocations are expanded away during expansion time, and the rest of the compiler doesn't have to deal with them. However, we have no way of enforcing this.
This patch adds two protective mechanisms.
First, it adds a (quick) explicit check that ensures there are no macro invocations remaining in the AST after expansion. Second, it updates the visit and fold mechanisms so that by default, they will not traverse macro invocations. It's easy enough to add this, if desired (it's documented in the source, and examples appear, e.g. in the IdentFinder.
Along the way, I also consulted with @sfackler to refactor the macro export mechanism so that it stores macro text spans in a side table, rather than leaving them in the AST.
the Macro Exterminator ensures that there are no macro invocations in
an AST. This should help make later passes confident that there aren't
hidden items, methods, expressions, etc.
Per discussion with @sfackler, refactored the expander to
change the way that exported macros are collected. Specifically,
a crate now contains a side table of spans that exported macros
go into.
This has two benefits. First, the encoder doesn't need to scan through
the expanded crate in order to discover exported macros. Second, the
expander can drop all expanded macros from the crate, with the pleasant
result that a fully expanded crate contains no macro invocations (which
include macro definitions).
This commit disables rustc's emission of rpath attributes into dynamic libraries
and executables by default. The functionality is still preserved, but it must
now be manually enabled via a `-C rpath` flag.
This involved a few changes to the local build system:
* --disable-rpath is now the default configure option
* Makefiles now prefer our own LD_LIBRARY_PATH over the user's LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in order to support building rust with rust already installed.
* The compiletest program was taught to correctly pass through the aux dir as a
component of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in more situations.
The major impact of this change is that neither rustdoc nor rustc will work
out-of-the-box in all situations because they are dynamically linked. It must be
arranged to ensure that the libraries of a rust installation are part of the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The default installation paths for all platforms ensure this,
but if an installation is in a nonstandard location, then configuration may be
necessary.
Additionally, for all developers of rustc, it will no longer be possible to run
$target/stageN/bin/rustc out-of-the-box. The old behavior can be regained
through the `--enable-rpath` option to the configure script.
This change brings linux/mac installations in line with windows installations
where rpath is not possible.
Closes#11747

In a cargo-driven world the primary location for the name of a crate will be in
its manifest, not in the source file itself. The purpose of this flag is to
reduce required duplication for new cargo projects.
This is a breaking change because the existing --crate-name flag actually
printed the crate name. This flag was renamed to --print-crate-name, and to
maintain consistence, the --crate-file-name flag was renamed to
--print-file-name.
To maintain backwards compatibility, the --crate-file-name flag is still
recognized, but it is deprecated.

This comit implements a new flag, --extern, which is used to specify where a
crate is located. The purpose of this flag is to bypass the normal crate
loading/matching of the compiler to point it directly at the right file.
This flag takes the form `--extern foo=bar` where `foo` is the name of a crate
and `bar` is the location at which to find the crate. Multiple `--extern`
directives are allowed with the same crate name to specify the rlib/dylib pair
for a crate. It is invalid to specify more than one rlib or more than one dylib,
and it's required that the crates are valid rust crates.
I have also added some extensive documentation to metadata::loader about how
crate loading should work.
RFC: 0035-remove-crate-id
The compiler will no longer insert a hash or version into a filename by default.
Instead, all output is simply based off the crate name being compiled. For
example, a crate name of `foo` would produce the following outputs:
* bin => foo
* rlib => libfoo.rlib
* dylib => libfoo.{so,dylib} or foo.dll
* staticlib => libfoo.a
The old behavior has been moved behind a new codegen flag,
`-C extra-filename=<hash>`. For example, with the "extra filename" of `bar` and
a crate name of `foo`, the following outputs would be generated:
* bin => foo (same old behavior)
* rlib => libfoobar.rlib
* dylib => libfoobar.{so,dylib} or foobar.dll
* staticlib => libfoobar.a
The makefiles have been altered to pass a hash by default to invocations of
`rustc` so all installed rust libraries will have a hash in their filename. This
is done because the standard libraries are intended to be installed into
privileged directories such as /usr/local. Additionally, it involves very few
build system changes!
RFC: 0035-remove-crate-id
[breaking-change]
This commit removes all support in the compiler for the #[crate_id] attribute
and all of its derivative infrastructure. A list of the functionality removed is:
* The #[crate_id] attribute no longer exists
* There is no longer the concept of a version of a crate
* Version numbers are no longer appended to symbol names
* The --crate-id command line option has been removed
To migrate forward, rename #[crate_id] to #[crate_name] and only the name of the
crate itself should be mentioned. The version/path of the old crate id should be
removed.
For a transitionary state, the #[crate_id] attribute is still accepted if
the #[crate_name] is not present, but it is warned about if it is the only
identifier present.

This was parsed by the parser but completely ignored; not even stored in
the AST!
This breaks code that looks like:
static X: &'static [u8] = &'static [1, 2, 3];
Change this code to the shorter:
static X: &'static [u8] = &[1, 2, 3];
Closes#15312.
