I tried a couple of different ways to squash this, and still don't think this is ideal, but I wanted to get it out for feedback.
Closes#5900Closes#9942
There are a few scenarios where the compiler tries to evaluate CastExprs without the corresponding types being available yet in the type context: https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/10618, https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/5900, https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/9942
This PR takes the approach of having eval_const_expr_partial's CastExpr arm fall back to a limited ast_ty_to_ty call that only checks for (a subset of) valid const types, when the direct type lookup fails. It's kind of hacky, so I understand if you don't want to take this as is. I'd need a little mentoring to get this into better shape, as figuring out the proper fix has been a little daunting. I'm also happy if someone else wants to pick this up and run with it.
This closes 5900 and 9942, but only moves the goalposts a little on 10618, which now falls over in a later phase of the compiler.
For the purpose of deciding whether to truncate or extend the right hand side of bit shifts, use the size of the element type for SIMD vector types.
Fix#11900.
It was possible to trigger a stack overflow in rustc because the routine used to verify enum representability,
type_structurally_contains, would recurse on inner types until hitting the original type. The overflow condition was when a different structurally recursive type (enum or struct) was contained in the type being checked.
I suspect my solution isn't as efficient as it could be. I pondered adding a cache of previously-seen types to avoid duplicating work (if enums A and B both contain type C, my code goes through C twice), but I didn't want to do anything that may not be necessary.
I'm a new contributor, so please pay particular attention to any unidiomatic code, misuse of terminology, bad naming of tests, or similar horribleness :)
Updated to verify struct representability as well.
Fixes#3008.
Fixes#3779.
`Times::times` was always a second-class loop because it did not support the `break` and `continue` operations. Its playful appeal (which I liked) was then lost after `do` was disabled for closures. It's time to let this one go.

This can almost be fully disabled, as it no longer breaks retrieving a
backtrace on OS X as verified by @alexcrichton. However, it still
breaks retrieving the values of parameters. This should be fixable in
the future via a proper location list...
Closes#7477
The general consensus is that we want to move away from conditions for I/O, and I propose a two-step plan for doing so:
1. Warn about unused `Result` types. When all of I/O returns `Result`, it will require you inspect the return value for an error *only if* you have a result you want to look at. By default, for things like `write` returning `Result<(), Error>`, these will all go silently ignored. This lint will prevent blind ignorance of these return values, letting you know that there's something you should do about them.
2. Implement a `try!` macro:
```
macro_rules! try( ($e:expr) => (match $e { Ok(e) => e, Err(e) => return Err(e) }) )
```
With these two tools combined, I feel that we get almost all the benefits of conditions. The first step (the lint) is a sanity check that you're not ignoring return values at callsites. The second step is to provide a convenience method of returning early out of a sequence of computations. After thinking about this for awhile, I don't think that we need the so-called "do-notation" in the compiler itself because I think it's just *too* specialized. Additionally, the `try!` macro is super lightweight, easy to understand, and works almost everywhere. As soon as you want to do something more fancy, my answer is "use match".
Basically, with these two tools in action, I would be comfortable removing conditions. What do others think about this strategy?

This PR specifically implements the `unused_result` lint. I actually added two lints, `unused_result` and `unused_must_use`, and the first commit has the rationale for why `unused_result` is turned off by default.
In line with the dissolution of libextra - #8784 - this moves arena and glob into
their own respective modules. Updates .gitignore with the entries
doc/{arena,glob} in accordance.
