This commit updates the gcc-rs dependency to 0.3.40 to pick up a fix for i686
musl where we needed to pass an extra linker flag to get autoconf's detection of
executables working correctly.
Based on unix tools wording, it follows a standard format:
`program_name: context: error message` on stderr, prompting the user
to use the `--help` option in case of misuse.
Alignment was removed from createBasicType and moved to
- createGlobalVariable
- createAutoVariable
- createStaticMemberType (unused in Rust)
- createTempGlobalVariableFwdDecl (unused in Rust)

Simplify use of mir_opt_level
Remove the unused top level option by the same name, and retain the
debug option.
Use -Zmir-opt-level=1 as default.
One pass is enabled by default but wants to be optional:
- Instcombine requires mir_opt_level > 0
Copy propagation is not used by default, but used to be activated by
explicit -Zmir-opt-level=1. It must move one higher to be off by
default:
- CopyPropagation requires mir_opt_level > 1
Deaggregate is not used by default, and used to be on a different level
than CopyPropagation:
- Deaggreate requires mir_opt_level > 2
[LLVM 4.0] Explicitly call constructor of 'llvm::Error'
The implicit constructor has been deleted. We should use
Error::success() instead.
The constructor in the LLVM headers mentions that "success" should be
used instead of the deleted constructor for clarity.
Reinstate while loop in deaggregator pass
A previous commit must have removed the `while let` loop here by
mistake; for each basic block, it should find and deaggregate multiple
statements in their index order, and the `curr` index tracks the
progress through the block.
This fixes both the case of deaggregating statements in separate
basic blocks (preserving `curr` could prevent that) as well
as multiple times in the same block (missing loop prevented that).
The loop was lost in commit bda46c21fe.

erase lifetimes when translating specialized substs
Projections can generate lifetime variables with equality constraints,
that will not be resolved by `resolve_type_vars_if_possible`, so substs
need to be lifetime-erased after that.
Fixes#36848.
Consider provided trait methods in middle::reachable
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/38226 by also considering trait methods with default implementation instead of just methods provided in an impl.

When an item is defined in an external macro it doesn't get a real

reexported items.

Implement a faster sort algorithm
Hi everyone, this is my first PR.
I've made some changes to the standard sort algorithm, starting out with a few tweaks here and there, but in the end this endeavour became a complete rewrite of it.
#### Summary
Changes:
* Improved performance, especially on partially sorted inputs.
* Performs less comparisons on both random and partially sorted inputs.
* Decreased the size of temporary memory: the new sort allocates 4x less.

#### Background
First, let me just do a quick brain dump to discuss what I learned along the way.
The official documentation says that the standard sort in Rust is a stable sort. This constraint is thus set in stone and immediately rules out many popular sorting algorithms. Essentially, the only algorithms we might even take into consideration are:
1. [Merge sort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort)
2. [Block sort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_sort) (famous implementations are [WikiSort](https://github.com/BonzaiThePenguin/WikiSort) and [GrailSort](https://github.com/Mrrl/GrailSort))
3. [TimSort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort)
Actually, all of those are just merge sort flavors. :) The current standard sort in Rust is a simple iterative merge sort. It has three problems. First, it's slow on partially sorted inputs (even though #29675 helped quite a bit). Second, it always makes around `log(n)` iterations copying the entire array between buffers, no matter what. Third, it allocates huge amounts of temporary memory (a buffer of size `2*n`, where `n` is the size of input).
The problem of auxilliary memory allocation is a tough one. Ideally, it would be best for our sort to allocate `O(1)` additional memory. This is what block sort (and it's variants) does. However, it's often very complicated (look at [this](https://github.com/BonzaiThePenguin/WikiSort/blob/master/WikiSort.cpp)) and even then performs rather poorly. The author of WikiSort claims good performance, but that must be taken with a grain of salt. It performs well in comparison to `std::stable_sort` in C++. It can even beat `std::sort` on partially sorted inputs, but on random inputs it's always far worse. My rule of thumb is: high performance, low memory overhead, stability - choose two.
TimSort is another option. It allocates a buffer of size `n/2`, which is not great, but acceptable. Performs extremelly well on partially sorted inputs. However, it seems pretty much all implementations suck on random inputs. I benchmarked implementations in [Rust](https://github.com/notriddle/rust-timsort), [C++](https://github.com/gfx/cpp-TimSort), and [D](fd518eb310/std/algorithm/sorting.d (L2062)). The results were a bit disappointing. It seems bad performance is due to complex galloping procedures in hot loops. Galloping noticeably improves performance on partially sorted inputs, but worsens it on random ones.
#### The new algorithm
Choosing the best algorithm is not easy. Plain merge sort is bad on partially sorted inputs. TimSort is bad on random inputs and block sort is even worse. However, if we take the main ideas from TimSort (intelligent merging strategy of sorted runs) and drop galloping, then we'll have great performance on random inputs and it won't be bad on partially sorted inputs either.
That is exactly what this new algorithm does. I can't call it TimSort, since it steals just a few of it's ideas. Complete TimSort would be a much more complex and elaborate implementation. In case we in the future figure out how to incorporate more of it's ideas into this implementation without crippling performance on random inputs, it's going to be very easy to extend. I also did several other minor improvements, like reworked insertion sort to make it faster.
There are also new, more thorough benchmarks and panic safety tests.
The final code is not terribly complex and has less unsafe code than I anticipated, but there's still plenty of it that should be carefully reviewed. I did my best at documenting non-obvious code.
I'd like to notify several people of this PR, since they might be interested and have useful insights:
1. @huonw because he wrote the [original merge sort](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/11064).
2. @alexcrichton because he was involved in multiple discussions of it.
3. @veddan because he wrote [introsort](https://github.com/veddan/rust-introsort) in Rust.
4. @notriddle because he wrote [TimSort](https://github.com/notriddle/rust-timsort) in Rust.
5. @bluss because he had an attempt at writing WikiSort in Rust.
6. @gnzlbg, @rkruppe, and @mark-i-m because they were involved in discussion #36318.
**P.S.** [quickersort](https://github.com/notriddle/quickersort) describes itself as being universally [faster](https://github.com/notriddle/quickersort/blob/master/perf.txt) than the standard sort, which is true. However, if this PR gets merged, things might [change](https://gist.github.com/stjepang/b9f0c3eaa0e1f1280b61b963dae19a30) a bit. ;)
rustbuild: Implement distcheck
This commit implements the `distcheck` target for rustbuild which is only ever
run on our nightly bots. This essentially just creates a tarball, un-tars it,
and then runs a full build, validating that the release tarballs do indeed have
everything they need to build Rust.
