formerly, the self identifier was being discarded during parsing, which
stymies hygiene. The best fix here seems to be to attach a self identifier
to ExplicitSelf_, a change that rippled through the rest of the compiler,
but without any obvious damage.
The let-syntax expander is different in that it doesn't apply
a mark to its token trees before expansion. This is used
for macro_rules, and it's because macro_rules is essentially
MTWT's let-syntax. You don't want to mark before expand sees
let-syntax, because there's no "after" syntax to mark again.
In some sense, the cleaner approach might be to introduce a new
AST node that macro_rules expands into; this would make it clearer
that the expansion of a macro is distinct from the addition of a
new macro binding.
This should work for now, though...
This updates https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15075.
Rename `ToStr::to_str` to `ToString::to_string`. The naive renaming ends up with two `to_string` functions defined on strings in the prelude (the other defined via `collections::str::StrAllocating`). To remedy this I removed `StrAllocating::to_string`, making all conversions from `&str` to `String` go through `Show`. This has a measurable impact on the speed of this conversion, but the sense I get from others is that it's best to go ahead and unify `to_string` and address performance for all `to_string` conversions in `core::fmt`. `String::from_str(...)` still works as a manual fast-path.
Note that the patch was done with a script, and ended up renaming a number of other `*_to_str` functions, particularly inside of rustc. All the ones I saw looked correct, and I didn't notice any additional API breakage.

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 pull request adds hygiene for 3 kinds of argument bindings:
- arguments to item fns,
- arguments to `ExprFnBlock`s, and
- arguments to `ExprProc`s
It also adds a bunch of unit tests, fixes a few macro uses to be non-capturing, and has a few cleanup items.
local `make check` succeeds.
This was parsed by the parser but completely ignored; not even stored in
the AST!

Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains
a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code
where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically---
a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation
to some really nasty bugs.
This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident
and a span.
Being able to index into the bytes of a string encourages
poor UTF-8 hygiene. To get a view of `&[u8]` from either
a `String` or `&str` slice, use the `as_bytes()` method.

I ended up altering the semantics of Json's PartialOrd implementation.
It used to be the case that Null < Null, but I can't think of any reason

`TreeMap`.

This change registers new snapshots, allowing `*T` to be removed from the language. This is a large breaking change, and it is recommended that if compiler errors are seen that any FFI calls are audited to determine whether they should be actually taking `*mut T`.
I believe that #5781 got fixed by the DST work. It duplicated the
variance inference work in #12828. Therefore, all that is left in #5781
is adding a test.
Closes#5781.

This can break code that looked like:
impl Foo for Box<Any> {
fn f(&self) { ... }
}
let x: Box<Any + Send> = ...;
x.f();
Change such code to:
impl Foo for Box<Any> {
fn f(&self) { ... }
}
let x: Box<Any> = ...;
x.f();
That is, upcast before calling methods.
This is a conservative solution to #5781. A more proper treatment (see
the xfail'd `trait-contravariant-self.rs`) would take variance into
account. This change fixes the soundness hole.
Some library changes had to be made to make this work. In particular,
`Box<Any>` is no longer showable, and only `Box<Any+Send>` is showable.
Eventually, this restriction can be lifted; for now, it does not prove
too onerous, because `Any` is only used for propagating the result of
task failure.
This patch also adds a test for the variance inference work in #12828,
which accidentally landed as part of DST.
Closes#5781.

This PR includes two big things and a bunch of little ones.
1) It enables hygiene for variables bound by 'match' expressions.
2) It fixes a bug discovered indirectly (#15221), wherein fold traversal failed to visit nonterminal nodes.
3) It fixes a small bug in the macro tutorial.
It also adds tests for the first two, and makes a bunch of small comment improvements and cleanup.
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`.

The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.
This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;

* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

This commit makes several changes to the stability index infrastructure:
* Stability levels are now inherited lexically, i.e., each item's
stability level becomes the default for any nested items.
* The computed stability level for an item is stored as part of the
metadata. When using an item from an external crate, this data is
looked up and cached.
* The stability lint works from the computed stability level, rather
than manual stability attribute annotations. However, the lint still
checks only a limited set of item uses (e.g., it does not check every
component of a path on import). This will be addressed in a later PR,
as part of issue #8962.
* The stability lint only applies to items originating from external
crates, since the stability index is intended as a promise to
downstream crates.
* The "experimental" lint is now _allow_ by default. This is because
almost all existing crates have been marked "experimental", pending
library stabilization. With inheritance in place, this would generate
a massive explosion of warnings for every Rust program.
The lint should be changed back to deny-by-default after library
stabilization is complete.
* The "deprecated" lint still warns by default.
The net result: we can begin tracking stability index for the standard
libraries as we stabilize, without impacting most clients.

The lexer already ignores CRLF in between tokens, but it doesn't
properly handle carriage returns inside strings and doc comments. Teach
it to treat CRLF as LF inside these tokens, and to disallow carriage
returns that are not followed by linefeeds. This includes handling an
escaped CRLF inside a regular string token the same way it handles an
escaped LF.
This is technically a breaking change, as bare carriage returns are no
longer allowed, and CRLF sequences are now treated as LF inside strings
and doc comments, but it's very unlikely to actually affect any
real-world code.
This change is necessary to have Rust code compile on Windows the same
way it does on Unix. The mozilla/rust repository explicitly sets eol=lf
for Rust source files, but other Rust repositories don't. Notably,
rust-http cannot be compiled on Windows without converting the CRLF line
endings back to LF.

This involves numerous substeps:
1. Treat Self same as any other parameter.
2. No longer compute offsets for method parameters.
3. Store all generic types (both trait/impl and method) with a method,

4. Stop doing unspeakable things to static methods and instead just use
the natural types, now that we can easily add the type parameters from
trait into the method's polytype.

This uncovered some dead code, most notably in middle/liveness.rs, which I think suggests there must be something fishy with that part of the code.

This makes ast::Arg usable in the quote_ macros.
Please note that this commit doesn't include a regression test. There
are tests that use the quote macros, but all of them are ignored. Due to

Since this change is absolutely trivial and only hooks up an additional
type to existing infrastructure (which presumably is tested elsewhere),
I concluded it's not worth the effort to follow up on this.

This patch removes the extra globs and makes quasiquoter use absolute

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 libcore 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.
