- Adds the `Sample` and `IndependentSample` traits for generating numbers where there are parameters (e.g. a list of elements to draw from, or the mean/variance of a normal distribution). The former takes `&mut self` and the latter takes `&self` (this is the only difference).
- Adds proper `Normal` and `Exp`-onential distributions
- Adds `Range` which generates `[lo, hi)` generically & properly (via a new trait) replacing the incorrect behaviour of `Rng.gen_integer_range` (this has become `Rng.gen_range` for convenience, it's far more efficient to use `Range` itself)
- Move the `Weighted` struct from `std::rand` to `std::rand::distributions` & improve it
- optimisations and docs
This reifies the computations required for uniformity done by
(the old) `Rng.gen_integer_range` (now Rng.gen_range), so that they can
be amortised over many invocations, if it is called in a loop.
Also, it makes it correct, but using a trait + impls for each type,
rather than trying to coerce `Int` + `u64` to do the right thing. This
also makes it more extensible, e.g. big integers could & should
implement SampleRange.
This patch is trivial, but it comes with a question. Does Mozilla need to own the copyright on code submitted to Rust?
The reason I ask is that, since the last time I submitted anything to a Mozilla project, I started working at Google, and they (by default) own the copyright on code that I write (even in my spare time). There's a process to assign copyright to another entity, and it should be a formality for something like this, but I'd still have to go through it if that's a requirement for Rust.
Anyway, I'm submitting this incredibly trivial thing because, if I have to go through that process for the first time, I'd like it to be for something that's trivial, so I can see how much of a hassle it is (if any) without having invested much time up front.
I didn't see anything about copyright in the Mozilla contributor's agreement, but I could have easily missed something somewhere else.
This should close#9468.
I removed the test stating that nested comments should not be implemented.
I had a little chicken-and-egg problem because a comment of the std contains "/*", and adding support for nested comment creates a backward incompatibility in that case, so I had to use a dirty hack to get stage1 and stage2 to compile. This part should be revert when this commit lands in a snapshot.
This is my first non-typo contribution, so I'm open to any comment.
When re-exporting a trait/structure/enum, then we need to propagate the
reachability of the type through the methods that are defined on it.

This commit re-introduces the functionality of __morestack in a way that it was
not originally anticipated. Rust does not currently have segmented stacks,
rather just large stack segments. We do not detect when these stack segments are
overrun currently, but this commit leverages __morestack in order to check this.
This commit purges a lot of the old __morestack and stack limit C++
functionality, migrating the necessary chunks to rust. The stack limit is now
entirely maintained in rust, and the "main logic bits" of __morestack are now
also implemented in rust as well.
I put my best effort into validating that this currently builds and runs successfully on osx and linux 32/64 bit, but I was unable to get this working on windows. We never did have unwinding through __morestack frames, and although I tried poking at it for a bit, I was unable to understand why we don't get unwinding right now.
A focus of this commit is to implement as much of the logic in rust as possible. This involved some liberal usage of `no_split_stack` in various locations, along with some use of the `asm!` macro (scary). I modified a bit of C++ to stop calling `record_sp_limit` because this is no longer defined in C++, rather in rust.
Another consequence of this commit is that `thread_local_storage::{get, set}` must both be flagged with `#[rust_stack]`. I've briefly looked at the implementations on osx/linux/windows to ensure that they're pretty small stacks, and I'm pretty sure that they're definitely less than 20K stacks, so we probably don't have a lot to worry about.
Other things worthy of note:
* The default stack size is now 4MB instead of 2MB. This is so that when we request 2MB to call a C function you don't immediately overflow because you have consumed any stack at all.
* `asm!` is actually pretty cool, maybe we could actually define context switching with it?
* I wanted to add links to the internet about all this jazz of storing information in TLS, but I was only able to find a link for the windows implementation. Otherwise my suggestion is just "disassemble on that arch and see what happens"
* I put my best effort forward on arm/mips to tweak __morestack correctly, we have no ability to test this so an extra set of eyes would be useful on these spots.
* This is all really tricky stuff, so I tried to put as many comments as I thought were necessary, but if anything is still unclear (or I completely forgot to take something into account), I'm willing to write more!
This commit resumes management of the stack boundaries and limits when switching
between tasks. This additionally leverages the __morestack function to run code
on "stack overflow". The current behavior is to abort the process, but this is
probably not the best behavior in the long term (for deails, see the comment I
wrote up in the stack exhaustion routine).
This stops labeling everything as "is private" when in fact the destination may
be public. Instead, the clause "is inaccessible" is used and the private part of
the flag is called out with a "is private" message.

Previously an ExprLit was created *per byte* causing a huge increase in memory
bloat. This adds a new `lit_binary` to contain a literal of binary data, which
is currently only used by the include_bin! syntax extension. This massively
speeds up compilation times of the shootout-k-nucleotide-pipes test
before:
time: 469s
memory: 6GB
assertion failure in LLVM (section too large)
after:
time: 2.50s
memory: 124MB

I've implemented analysis support for the [GCC '=' write-only inline asm constraint modifier](http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Modifiers.html). I had more changes, for '+' (read+write) as well, but it turns out LLVM doesn't support '+' at all.
I've removed the need for wrapping each output in ExprAddrOf, as that would require unwrapping almost everywhere and it was harder to reason about in borrowck than ExprAssign's LHS.
With this change, rustc will treat (in respect to validity of accessing a local) code like this:
```rust
let x: int;
unsafe {
asm!("mov $1, $0" : "=r"(x) : "r"(5u));
}
```
as if it were this:
```rust
let x : int;
x = 5;
```
Previously, the local was required to be both mutable and initialized, and the write effect wasn't recorded.
The code generation previously assumed a reference could not alter the
value in a way the destructor would notice. This is an incorrect
assumption for `&mut`, and is also incorrect for an `&` pointer to a
non-`Freeze` type.

The goal here is to avoid requiring a division or multiplication to compare against the length. The bounds check previously used an incorrect micro-optimization to replace the division by a multiplication, but now neither is necessary *for slices*. Unique/managed vectors will have to do a division to get the length until they are reworked/replaced.
Standardize the is_sep() functions to be the same in both posix and
windows, and re-export from path. Update extra::glob to use this.
Remove the usage of either, as it's going away.
Move the WindowsPath-specific methods out of WindowsPath and make them
top-level functions of path::windows instead. This way you cannot
accidentally write code that will fail to compile on non-windows
architectures without typing ::windows anywhere.
Remove GenericPath::from_c_str() and just impl BytesContainer for
CString instead.
Remove .join_path() and .push_path() and just implement BytesContainer
for Path instead.
Remove FilenameDisplay and add a boolean flag to Display instead.
Remove .each_parent(). It only had one caller, so just inline its
definition there.
