- Functions in parser.rs return PResult<> rather than panicing
- Other functions in libsyntax call panic! explicitly for now if they rely on panicing behaviour.
- 'panictry!' macro added as scaffolding while converting panicing functions.
(This does the same as 'unwrap()' but is easier to grep for and turn into try!())
- Leaves panicing wrappers for the following functions so that the
quote_* macros behave the same:
- parse_expr, parse_item, parse_pat, parse_arm, parse_ty, parse_stmt
Many of the modifications putting in `Box::new` calls also include a
pointer to Issue 22405, which tracks going back to `box <expr>` if
possible in the future.
(Still tried to use `Box<_>` where it sufficed; thus some tests still
have `box_syntax` enabled, as they use a mix of `box` and `Box::new`.)
Precursor for overloaded-`box` and placement-`in`; see Issue 22181.
This changes the type of some public constants/statics in libunicode.
Notably some `&'static &'static [(char, char)]` have changed
to `&'static [(char, char)]`. The regexp crate seems to be the
sole user of these, yet this is technically a [breaking-change]
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 592][r592] and [RFC 840][r840]. These
two RFCs tweak the behavior of `CString` and add a new `CStr` unsized slice type
to the module.
[r592]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0592-c-str-deref.md
[r840]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0840-no-panic-in-c-string.md
The new `CStr` type is only constructable via two methods:
1. By `deref`'ing from a `CString`
2. Unsafely via `CStr::from_ptr`
The purpose of `CStr` is to be an unsized type which is a thin pointer to a
`libc::c_char` (currently it is a fat pointer slice due to implementation
limitations). Strings from C can be safely represented with a `CStr` and an
appropriate lifetime as well. Consumers of `&CString` should now consume `&CStr`
instead to allow producers to pass in C-originating strings instead of just
Rust-allocated strings.
A new constructor was added to `CString`, `new`, which takes `T: IntoBytes`
instead of separate `from_slice` and `from_vec` methods (both have been
deprecated in favor of `new`). The `new` method returns a `Result` instead of
panicking. The error variant contains the relevant information about where the
error happened and bytes (if present). Conversions are provided to the
`io::Error` and `old_io::IoError` types via the `FromError` trait which
translate to `InvalidInput`.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of existing `#[unstable]` APIs
and new deprecation, and more detailed information can be found in the two RFCs.
Notable breakage includes:
* All construction of `CString` now needs to use `new` and handle the outgoing
`Result`.
* Usage of `CString` as a byte slice now explicitly needs a `.as_bytes()` call.
* The `as_slice*` methods have been removed in favor of just having the
`as_bytes*` methods.

In preparation for upcoming changes to the `Writer` trait (soon to be called
`Write`) this commit renames the current `write` method to `write_all` to match
the semantics of the upcoming `write_all` method. The `write` method will be
repurposed to return a `usize` indicating how much data was written which
differs from the current `write` semantics. In order to head off as much
unintended breakage as possible, the method is being deprecated now in favor of
a new name.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 565][rfc] which is a stabilization of
the `std::fmt` module and the implementations of various formatting traits.
Specifically, the following changes were performed:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0565-show-string-guidelines.md
* The `Show` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Debug`
* The `String` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Display`
* Many `Debug` and `Display` implementations were audited in accordance with the
RFC and audited implementations now have the `#[stable]` attribute
* Integers and floats no longer print a suffix
* Smart pointers no longer print details that they are a smart pointer
* Paths with `Debug` are now quoted and escape characters
* The `unwrap` methods on `Result` now require `Display` instead of `Debug`
* The `Error` trait no longer has a `detail` method and now requires that
`Display` must be implemented. With the loss of `String`, this has moved into
libcore.
* `impl<E: Error> FromError<E> for Box<Error>` now exists
* `derive(Show)` has been renamed to `derive(Debug)`. This is not currently
warned about due to warnings being emitted on stage1+
While backwards compatibility is attempted to be maintained with a blanket
implementation of `Display` for the old `String` trait (and the same for
`Show`/`Debug`) this is still a breaking change due to primitives no longer
implementing `String` as well as modifications such as `unwrap` and the `Error`
trait. Most code is fairly straightforward to update with a rename or tweaks of
method calls.

For a call like `foo.bar()` where the method `bar` can't be resolved,
the compiler will search for traits that have methods with name `bar` to
give a more informative error, providing a list of possibilities.

fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.

This change makes the compiler no longer infer whether types (structures
and enumerations) implement the `Copy` trait (and thus are implicitly
copyable). Rather, you must implement `Copy` yourself via `impl Copy for
MyType {}`.
A new warning has been added, `missing_copy_implementations`, to warn
you if a non-generic public type has been added that could have
implemented `Copy` but didn't.
For convenience, you may *temporarily* opt out of this behavior by using
`#![feature(opt_out_copy)]`. Note though that this feature gate will never be
accepted and will be removed by the time that 1.0 is released, so you should
transition your code away from using it.
This breaks code like:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
Change this code to:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
impl Copy for Point2D {}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
This is the backwards-incompatible part of #13231.

This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}
```

The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.
