This commit adds support for the compiler to distinguish between different forms
of lookup paths in the compiler itself. Issue #19767 has some background on this
topic, as well as some sample bugs which can occur if these lookup paths are not
separated.
This commits extends the existing command line flag `-L` with the same trailing
syntax as the `-l` flag. Each argument to `-L` can now have a trailing `:all`,
`:native`, `:crate`, or `:dependency`. This suffix indicates what form of lookup
path the compiler should add the argument to. The `dependency` lookup path is
used when looking up crate dependencies, the `crate` lookup path is used when
looking for immediate dependencies (`extern crate` statements), and the `native`
lookup path is used for probing for native libraries to insert into rlibs. Paths
with `all` are used for all of these purposes (the default).
The default compiler lookup path (the rustlib libdir) is by default added to all
of these paths. Additionally, the `RUST_PATH` lookup path is added to all of
these paths.
Closes#19767
This commit is part of a series that introduces a `std::thread` API to
replace `std::task`.
In the new API, `spawn` returns a `JoinGuard`, which by default will
join the spawned thread when dropped. It can also be used to join
explicitly at any time, returning the thread's result. Alternatively,
the spawned thread can be explicitly detached (so no join takes place).
As part of this change, Rust processes now terminate when the main
thread exits, even if other detached threads are still running, moving
Rust closer to standard threading models. This new behavior may break code
that was relying on the previously implicit join-all.
In addition to the above, the new thread API also offers some built-in
support for building blocking abstractions in user space; see the module
doc for details.
Closes#18000

The test harness will make sure that the panic message contains the
specified string. This is useful to help make `#[should_fail]` tests a
bit less brittle by decreasing the chance that the test isn't
"accidentally" passing due to a panic occurring earlier than expected.
The behavior is in some ways similar to JUnit's `expected` feature:
`@Test(expected=NullPointerException.class)`.
Without the message assertion, this test would pass even though it's not
actually reaching the intended part of the code:
```rust
#[test]
#[should_fail(message = "out of bounds")]
fn test_oob_array_access() {
let idx: uint = from_str("13o").unwrap(); // oops, this will panic
[1i32, 2, 3][idx];
}
```
Removes all target-specific knowledge from rustc. Some targets have changed
during this, but none of these should be very visible outside of
cross-compilation. The changes make our targets more consistent.
iX86-unknown-linux-gnu is now only available as i686-unknown-linux-gnu. We
used to accept any value of X greater than 1. i686 was released in 1995, and
should encompass the bare minimum of what Rust supports on x86 CPUs.
The only two windows targets are now i686-pc-windows-gnu and
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.
The iOS target has been renamed from arm-apple-ios to arm-apple-darwin.
A complete list of the targets we accept now:
arm-apple-darwin
arm-linux-androideabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
i686-apple-darwin
i686-pc-windows-gnu

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.

This ensures that the name of the crate is set from the command line for tests
so the auto-injection of `extern crate <name>` in doc tests works correctly.
This is a continuation of @brson's work from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/12144.
This implements the minimal scaffolding that allows mapping diagnostic messages to alpha-numeric codes, which could improve the searchability of errors. In addition, there's a new compiler option, `--explain {code}` which takes an error code and prints out a somewhat detailed explanation of the error. Example:
```rust
fn f(x: Option<bool>) {
match x {
Some(true) | Some(false) => (),
None => (),
Some(true) => ()
}
}
```
```shell
[~/rust]$ ./build/x86_64-apple-darwin/stage2/bin/rustc ./diagnostics.rs --crate-type dylib
diagnostics.rs:5:3: 5:13 error: unreachable pattern [E0001] (pass `--explain E0001` to see a detailed explanation)
diagnostics.rs:5 Some(true) => ()
^~~~~~~~~~
error: aborting due to previous error
[~/rust]$ ./build/x86_64-apple-darwin/stage2/bin/rustc --explain E0001
This error suggests that the expression arm corresponding to the noted pattern
will never be reached as for all possible values of the expression being matched,
one of the preceeding patterns will match.
This means that perhaps some of the preceeding patterns are too general, this
one is too specific or the ordering is incorrect.
```
I've refrained from migrating many errors to actually use the new macros as it can be done in an incremental fashion but if we're happy with the approach, it'd be good to do all of them sooner rather than later.
Originally, I was going to make libdiagnostics a separate crate but that's posing some interesting challenges with semi-circular dependencies. In particular, librustc would have a plugin-phase dependency on libdiagnostics, which itself depends on librustc. Per my conversation with @alexcrichton, it seems like the snapshotting process would also have to change. So for now the relevant modules from libdiagnostics are included using `#[path = ...] mod`.
This commit changes the `io::process::Command` API to provide
fine-grained control over the environment:
* The `env` method now inserts/updates a key/value pair.
* The `env_remove` method removes a key from the environment.
* The old `env` method, which sets the entire environment in one shot,
is renamed to `env_set_all`. It can be used in conjunction with the
finer-grained methods. This renaming is a breaking change.
To support these new methods, the internal `env` representation for
`Command` has been changed to an optional `HashMap` holding owned
`CString`s (to support non-utf8 data). The `HashMap` is only
materialized if the environment is updated. The implementation does not
try hard to avoid allocation, since the cost of launching a process will
dwarf any allocation cost.
This patch also adds `PartialOrd`, `Eq`, and `Hash` implementations for
`CString`.

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 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.

```test_harness
#[test]
fn foo() {}
```
will now compile and run the tests, rather than just ignoring & stripping them (i.e. it is as if `--test` was passed).
Also, the specific example in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/12242 was fixed (but that issue is broader than that example).
This adds the `test_harness` directive that runs a code block using the
test runner, to allow for `#[test]` items to be demonstrated and still
tested (currently they are just stripped and not even compiled, let
alone run).
This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.
Closes#14193

This grows a new option inside of rustdoc to add the ability to submit examples
to an external website. If the `--markdown-playground-url` command line option
or crate doc attribute `html_playground_url` is present, then examples will have
a button on hover to submit the code to the playground specified.
This commit enables submission of example code to play.rust-lang.org. The code
submitted is that which is tested by rustdoc, not necessarily the exact code
shown in the example.
Closes#14654
There is currently no way to query all impls for a type from an external crate,
and with primitive types in play this is also quite difficult. Instead of
filtering, just suck in all impls from upstream crates into the local AST, and
have them get stripped later.
This will allow population of all implementations of traits for primitive types,
as well as filling in some corner cases with inlining documentation in other
cases.
