This is technically a breaking change as it deprecates and unstables
some previously stable apis that were missed in the last round of
deprecations.
[breaking change]
Refactored code so that the drop-flag values for initialized
(`DTOR_NEEDED`) versus dropped (`DTOR_DONE`) are given explicit names.
Add `mem::dropped()` (which with `DTOR_DONE == 0` is semantically the
same as `mem::zeroed`, but the point is that it abstracts away from
the particular choice of value for `DTOR_DONE`).
Filling-drop needs to use something other than `ptr::read_and_zero`,
so I added such a function: `ptr::read_and_drop`. But, libraries
should not use it if they can otherwise avoid it.
Fixes to tests to accommodate filling-drop.
Main motivation was to update docs for the removal or "demotion" of certain extension traits. The update to the slice docs was larger, since the text was largely outdated.
A lot has changed since this doc text was last touched up, and this is
just a minor edit. I remove the trait section entirely since we don't
use extension traits that much anymore, so there are no significant
trait hilights for this module.
Main access point of .split() and other similar methods are not using
the StrExt trait anymore, so update the libcore docs to reflect this
(because these docs are visible in libstd API documentation).
This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.
[breaking change]
* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
This is a [breaking-change]. When indexing a generic map (hashmap, etc) using the `[]` operator, it is now necessary to borrow explicitly, so change `map[key]` to `map[&key]` (consistent with the `get` routine). However, indexing of string-valued maps with constant strings can now be written `map["abc"]`.

possible blanket impls and also triggers internal overflow. Add some
special cases for common uses (&&str, &String) for now; bounds-targeting
deref coercions are probably the right longer term answer.
This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

This commit marks as `#[stable]` the `Entry` types for the maps provided
by `std`. The main reason these had been left unstable previously was
uncertainty about an eventual trait design, but several plausible
designs have been proposed that all work fine with the current type definitions.

This commit removes the `IndexMut` impls on `HashMap` and `BTreeMap`, in
order to future-proof the API against the eventual inclusion of an
`IndexSet` trait.
Ideally, we would eventually be able to support:
```rust
map[owned_key] = val;
map[borrowed_key].mutating_method(arguments);
&mut map[borrowed_key];
```
but to keep the design space as unconstrained as possible, we do not
currently want to support `IndexMut`, in case some other strategy will
eventually be needed.
Code currently using mutating index notation can use `get_mut` instead.

r? @Gankro
This commit removes the reexports of `old_io` traits as well as `old_path` types
and traits from the prelude. This functionality is now all deprecated and needs
to be removed to make way for other functionality like `Seek` in the `std::io`
module (currently reexported as `NewSeek` in the io prelude).

designs have been proposed that all work fine with the current type definitions.
This commit clarifies some of the unstable features in the `str` module by
moving them out of the blanket `core` and `collections` features.
The following methods were moved to the `str_char` feature which generally
encompasses decoding specific characters from a `str` and dealing with the
result. It is unclear if any of these methods need to be stabilized for 1.0 and
the most conservative route for now is to continue providing them but to leave
them as unstable under a more specific name.
* `is_char_boundary`
* `char_at`
* `char_range_at`
* `char_at_reverse`
* `char_range_at_reverse`
* `slice_shift_char`
The following methods were moved into the generic `unicode` feature as they are
specifically enabled by the `unicode` crate itself.
* `nfd_chars`
* `nfkd_chars`
* `nfc_chars`
* `graphemes`
* `grapheme_indices`
* `width`
