Windows dbghelp strips leading underscores from symbols, and I could not find a way to turn this off. So let's accept "ZN...E" form too.
Also, print PC displacement from symbols. This is helpful in gauging whether the PC was indeed within the function displayed in the backtrace, or whether it just happened to be the closest public symbol in the module.
There is currently no way to specify the stability level for a trait
impl produced by `deriving`. This patch is a stopgap solution that:
* Turns of stability inheritance for trait impls, and
* Uses the stability level of the *trait* if no level is directly
specified.
That is, manual trait impls may still provide a directly stability
level, but `deriving` will use the level of the trait. While not a
perfect solution, it should be good enough for 1.0 API stabilization, as
we will like *remove* any unwanted impls outright.
This narrows the definition of nested returns such that only when the
outer return has a chance of being executed (due to the inner return
being conditional) do we mark the function as having nested returns.

This is to encourage the use of the sugary syntax instead of the `<>` syntax, which will not be usable post-1.0. Rustdoc [still uses the `<>` syntax](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19909), so if a rustdoc wizard is looking for something to do, it would be nice to use the parenthetical syntax there as well.

Noticed that Rustup was downloading the i686 nightly instead of x86-64. Installing `file` fixed the problem, and this patch adds the probe to ensure file is installed before attempting to use it.

Relax some of the bounds on the decoder methods back to FnMut to help accomodate

This test would read with a timeout and then send a UDP message, expecting the
message to be received. The receiving port, however, was bound in the child
thread so it could be the case that the timeout and send happens before the
child thread runs. To remedy this we just bind the port before the child thread
runs, moving it into the child later on.

This is a breaking change due to the modifications to the names of the iterator

`IntoIter` no longer implements the `Clone` trait.

Note that this commit does not make use of the #[deprecated] tag to prevent
warnings from being generated for in-tree usage. Once #[unstable] warnings are
turned on then all external users will be warned to move.
These crates have all been duplicated in rust-lang/$crate repositories so
development can happen independently of the in-tree copies. We can explore at a
later date replacing the in-tree copies with the external copies, but at this
time the libraries have changed very little over the past few months so it's
unlikely for changes to be sent to both repos.
cc #19260
Hello! This is my first Rust patch, and I fear that I've probably skipped at least 7 critical steps. I'd appreciate your feedback and advice about how to contribute to Rust.
This patch is based on a discussion with @BurntSushi in #14602 a while back. I'm happy to revise it as needed to fit into the modern world. :-)
As discussed in that issue, the existing `at` and `name` functions represent two different results with the empty string:
1. Matched the empty string.
2. Did not match anything.
Consider the following example. This regex has two named matched groups, `key` and `value`. `value` is optional:
```rust
// Matches "foo", "foo;v=bar" and "foo;v=".
regex!(r"(?P<key>[a-z]+)(;v=(?P<value>[a-z]*))?");
```
We can access `value` using `caps.name("value")`, but there's no way for us to distinguish between the `"foo"` and `"foo;v="` cases.
Early this year, @BurntSushi recommended modifying the existing `at` and `name` functions to return `Option`, instead of adding new functions to the API.
This is a [breaking-change], but the fix is easy:
- `refs.at(1)` becomes `refs.at(1).unwrap_or("")`.
- `refs.name(name)` becomes `refs.name(name).unwrap_or("")`.
Using a type alias for iterator implementations is fragile since this exposes the implementation to users of the iterator, and any changes could break existing code.
This PR changes the iterators of `BTreeMap`, `BTreeSet`, `HashMap`, and `HashSet` to use proper new types, rather than type aliases. However, since it is fair-game to treat a type-alias as the aliased type, this is a:
[breaking-change].
The primary focus of Rust's stability story at 1.0 is the standard library.
All other libraries distributed with the Rust compiler are planned to
be #[unstable] and therfore only accessible on the nightly channel of Rust. One
of the more widely used libraries today is libserialize, Rust's current solution
for encoding and decoding types.
The current libserialize library, however, has a number of drawbacks:
* The API is not ready to be stabilize as-is and we will likely not have enough
resources to stabilize the API for 1.0.
* The library is not necessarily the speediest implementations with alternatives
being developed out-of-tree (e.g. serde from erickt).
* It is not clear how the API of Encodable/Decodable can evolve over time while
maintaining backwards compatibility.
One of the major pros to the current libserialize, however, is
`deriving(Encodable, Decodable)` as short-hands for enabling serializing and
deserializing a type. This is unambiguously useful functionality, so we cannot
simply deprecate the in-tree libserialize in favor of an external crates.io
implementation.
For these reasons, this commit starts off a stability story for libserialize by
following these steps:
1. The deriving(Encodable, Decodable) modes will be deprecated in favor of a
renamed deriving(RustcEncodable, RustcDecodable).
2. The in-tree libserialize will be deprecated in favor of an external
rustc-serialize crate shipped on crates.io. The contents of the crate will be
the same for now (but they can evolve separately).
3. At 1.0 serialization will be performed through
deriving(RustcEncodable, RustcDecodable) and the rustc-serialize crate. The
expansions for each deriving mode will change from `::serialize::foo` to
`::rustc_serialize::foo`.
This story will require that the compiler freezes its implementation of
`RustcEncodable` deriving for all of time, but this should be a fairly minimal
maintenance burden. Otherwise the crate in crates.io must always maintain the
exact definition of its traits, but the implementation of json, for example, can
continue to evolve in the semver-sense.
The major goal for this stabilization effort is to pave the road for a new
official serialization crate which can replace the current one, solving many of
its downsides in the process. We are not assuming that this will exist for 1.0,
hence the above measures. Some possibilities for replacing libserialize include:
* If plugins have a stable API, then any crate can provide a custom `deriving`
mode (will require some compiler work). This means that any new serialization
crate can provide its own `deriving` with its own backing
implementation, entirely obsoleting the current libserialize and fully
replacing it.
* Erick is exploring the possibility of code generation via preprocessing Rust
source files in the near term until plugins are stable. This strategy would
provide the same ergonomic benefit that `deriving` does today in theory.
So, in summary, the current libserialize crate is being deprecated in favor of
the crates.io-based rustc-serialize crate where the `deriving` modes are
appropriately renamed. This opens up space for a later implementation of
serialization in a more official capacity while allowing alternative
implementations to be explored in the meantime.
Concretely speaking, this change adds support for the `RustcEncodable` and
`RustcDecodable` deriving modes. After a snapshot is made warnings will be
turned on for usage of `Encodable` and `Decodable` as well as deprecating the
in-tree libserialize crate to encurage users to use rustc-serialize instead.

This commit performs a second pass stabilization of the `std::default` module.
The module was already marked `#[stable]`, and the inheritance of `#[stable]`
was removed since this attribute was applied. This commit adds the `#[stable]`
attribute to the trait definition and one method name, along with all
implementations found in the standard distribution.
This commit takes a second pass through the `std::mem` module for stabilization.
The only remaining non-stable items in this module were `forget`, `transmute`,
`copy_lifetime`, and `copy_lifetime_mut`.
The `forget` and `transmute` intrinsics themselves were marked `#[stable]` to
propgate into the `core::mem` module so they would be marked stable.
The `copy_lifetime` functions were left `unstable`, but `Sized?` annotations
were added to the parameters to allow more general use with DSTs.
The `size_of_val`, `min_align_of_val`, and `align_of_val` functions would like
to grow `Sized?` bounds, but this is a backwards compatible change that
currently ICEs the compiler, so this change was not made at this time.
Finally, the module itself was declared `#![stable]` in this pass.

- `String` and `Vec` addition have been changed to reuse the LHS owned value, and to avoid internal cloning. Only the following asymmetric operations are available: `String + &str` and `Vec<T> + &[T]`, which are now a short-hand for the "append" operation.

visualization of region inference constraint graph.
Optionally uses environment variables `RUST_REGION_GRAPH=<path_template>`
and `RUST_REGION_GRAPH_NODE=<node-id>` to select which file to output
to and which AST node to print.
Note that in some cases of method AST's, the identification of AST
node is based on the id for the *body* of the method; this is largely
due to having the body node-id already available at the relevant point
in the control-flow of rustc in its current incarnation. Ideally we
would handle identifying AST's by name in addition to node-id,
e.g. the same way that the pretty-printer supports path suffixes as
well as node-ids for identifying subtrees to print.

This is not technically a [breaking-change], but it will be soon, so
you should update your code. Typically, shadowing is accidental, and
the shadowing lifetime can simply be removed. This frequently occurs
in constructor patterns:
```rust
// Old:
impl<'a> SomeStruct<'a> { fn new<'a>(..) -> SomeStruct<'a> { ... } }
// Should be:
impl<'a> SomeStruct<'a> { fn new(..) -> SomeStruct<'a> { ... } }
```
Otherwise, you should rename the inner lifetime to something
else. Note though that lifetime elision frequently applies:
```rust
// Old
impl<'a> SomeStruct<'a> {
fn get<'a>(x: &'a self) -> &'a T { &self.field }
}
// Should be:
impl<'a> SomeStruct<'a> {
fn get(x: &self) -> &T { &self.field }
}

This is a [breaking-change]. Mostly, uses of `proc()` simply need to be converted to `move||` (unboxed closures), but in some cases the adaptations required are more complex (particularly for library authors).

The commits are ordered to emphasize the more important changes, but are not truly standalone.
Unlike a tuple variant constructor which can be called as a function, a struct variant constructor is not a function, so cannot be called.
If the user tries to assign the constructor to a variable, an ICE occurs, because there is no way to use it later. So we should stop the constructor from being used like that.
A similar mechanism already exists for a normal struct, as it prohibits a struct from being resolved. This commit does the same for a struct variant.
This commit also includes some changes to the existing tests.

unlikely for changes to be sent to both repos.

note: expansion site
error: unresolved name `std::cmp::Equal`
\#[deriving(Clone, PartialEq, PartialOrd, Eq, Ord, Show)]
^~~
```
