The free-standing functions in f32, f64, i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16,
u32, u64, float, int, and uint are replaced with generic functions in
num instead.
This means that instead of having to know everywhere what the type is, like
~~~
f64::sin(x)
~~~
You can simply write code that uses the type-generic versions in num instead, this works for all types that implement the corresponding trait in num.
~~~
num::sin(x)
~~~
Note 1: If you were previously using any of those functions, just replace them
with the corresponding function with the same name in num.
Note 2: If you were using a function that corresponds to an operator, use the
operator instead.
Note 3: This is just https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/7090 reopened against master.
Apparently yesterday wasn't my day, and I forgot to add the changes to
all the tests apparently, and in the end forgot the docs extra much.
Please documentation, forgive me, I really do love you, I hope you
forgive me.
Next time we'll meet tutorial, I promise to bring cookies and tea. I
really want to be best-friends-forever with you, <3.
XOXO

This is the initial machinery to setup the l10n infrastructure for markdown documentation.
A new "docs-l10n" target will take care of generating, updating and then building .pot and .po files, and later on the final .md.
This commit includes the .pot for all current .md docs; they can be feed directly to Mozilla Verbatim if wanted.
Please note that po4a only provides the orig.md -> .pot -> l10n.po -> l10n.md flow. The l10n.md -> l10n.html generation is not currently built in the makefile, as no language has been enabled.
These files are automatically genereated by `make docs-l10n` (via po4a),
which will also take of updating them if the original .md changes.

This commit add a new "docs-l10n" make target which uses po4a to:
* create .pot (PO templates) from markdown doc
* update templates and po for enabled languages
* generate translated markdown for completed (> 80%) translations
Currently, no language has been activated.

Adds a lint for `static some_lowercase_name: uint = 1;`. Warning by default since it causes confusion, e.g. `static a: uint = 1; ... let a = 2;` => `error: only refutable patterns allowed here`.
I removed the `static-method-test.rs` test because it was heavily based
on `BaseIter` and there are plenty of other more complex uses of static
methods anyway.
Closes#7180 and #7179.
Before, the `deriving(ToStr)` attribute was essentially `fmt!("%?")`. This changes it to recursively invoke `to_str()` on fields instead of relying on `fmt!`-style things. This seems more natural to me and what should actually be expected.
The removed test for issue #2611 is well covered by the `std::iterator`
module itself.
This adds the `count` method to `IteratorUtil` to replace `EqIter`.
After reading issue #7077, all header elements had a border. In my opinion those borders are a bit too much distraction. I tried a different approach with increasing the padding and font size, and omitting the borders.
Comparison:

Note: the highlighted code blocks are not caused by this commit.
I left the border of the code block / function signature as is. The reason behind that is that code blocks are really block elements, while headers are not. What do you guys think?
I was making documentation for my own little Rust project, and I was somewhat unhappy with how the documentation looked. While many of the issues are endemic to how rustdoc generates its output, you can get pretty far in making the documentation readable by using a better CSS style.
This commit alters the CSS style used in Rust's documentation in order to make the various sections stand out more. You can see an example of its usage in my own project's documentation: http://siegelord.github.io/RustGnuplot/#implementation-for-figureself-where-self. I showed it to some people on IRC and they suggested that I make a pull request here. I tested it on the only browser that matters, but also Chrome and Opera.
The confusing mixture of byte index and character count meant that every
use of .substr was incorrect; replaced by slice_chars which only uses
character indices. The old behaviour of `.substr(start, n)` can be emulated
via `.slice_from(start).slice_chars(0, n)`.
This is something that's only been briefly mentioned in the beginning of
the tutorial and all of the closure examples within this subsection
include only one expression between { and }.

The "4.3 Loops" section only describes `while` and `loop`. We then see `for`
used in a code sample at the end of the "13. Vectors and strings" section,
but it's explained for the first time only in the next section --
"14. Closures".
It is worth mentioning it in "4.3 Loops".
Although in the example function `each` works as expected with
rust-0.6 (the latest release), it fails to even compile with `incoming`
rust (see test/compile-fail/bad-for-loop-2.rs). Change the function to
return a `bool` instead of `()`: this works fine with both versions of
rust, and does not misguide potential contributors.

I don't have a strong opinion on the function vs. method, but there's no point in having both. I'd like to make a `repeat` adaptor like Python/Haskell for turning a value into an infinite stream of the value, so this has to at least be renamed.
fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
This removes the comparison to manual memory management examples,
because it requires too much existing knowledge. Implementing custom
destructors can be covered in the FFI tutorial, where `unsafe` is
already well explained.
The example with OpenSSL is incorrect, because OpenSSL is using a
static variable for the return value and isn't thread-safe.
The gettimeofday example isn't great because it's not very portable.
This is some stuff which seemed to be missing to me (though I haven't read everything yet so hope I haven't missed the relevant section).
A similar addition for borrowing handles is needed, but #5720 stumped me.
Comments welcome.
The sentence "Remember that `(float, float)` is a tuple of two floats"
sounds like you've already read a section on tuples, but that section
comes later. Changing it to "Assuming that ..." makes it more about
taking the writer's word that the syntax is how tuples are defined.

Before it wouldn't warn about unused imports in the list if something in the list was used. These commits fix that case, add a test, and remove all unused imports in lists of imports throughout the compiler.
Added notes explaining how [expr, ..expr] form is used, targeted at
individuals like me who thought it was more general and handled
dynamic repeat expressions. (I left a TODO for this section in a
comment, but perhaps that is bad form for the manual...)
Added example of `do` syntax with a function of arity > 1; yes, one
should be able to derive this from the text above it, but it is still
a useful detail to compare and contrast against the arity == 1 case.
Added example of using for expression over a uint range, since someone
who is most used to write `for(int i; i < lim; i++) { ... }` will
likely want to know how to translate that form (regardless of whether
it happens to be good style or not for their use-case).
Added note about the semi-strange meaning of "fixed size" of vectors
in the vector type section.
In struct section of tutorial, make everything more coherent and
clear by always using "struct Point". Also, do not prematurely
introduce pointers and arrays. Fixes#5240

For bootstrapping purposes, this commit does not remove all uses of
the keyword "pure" -- doing so would cause the compiler to no longer
bootstrap due to some syntax extensions ("deriving" in particular).
Instead, it makes the compiler ignore "pure". Post-snapshot, we can
remove "pure" from the language.
There are quite a few (~100) borrow check errors that were essentially
all the result of mutable fields or partial borrows of `@mut`. Per
discussions with Niko I think we want to allow partial borrows of
`@mut` but detect obvious footguns. We should also improve the error
message when `@mut` is erroneously reborrowed.
The fix is straight-forward, but there are several changes
while fixing the issue.
1) disallow `mut` keyword when making a new struct
In code base, there are following code,
```rust
struct Foo { mut a: int };
let a = Foo { mut a: 1 };
```
This is because of structural record, which is
deprecated corrently (see issue #3089) In structural
record, `mut` keyword should be allowd to control
mutability. But without structural record, we don't
need to allow `mut` keyword while constructing struct.
2) disallow structural records in parser level
This is related to 1). With structural records, there
is an ambiguity between empty block and empty struct
To solve the problem, I change parser to stop parsing
structural records. I think this is not a problem,
because structural records are not compiled already.
Misc. issues
There is an ambiguity between empty struct vs. empty match stmt.
with following code,
```rust
match x{} {}
```
Two interpretation is possible, which is listed blow
```rust
match (x{}) {} // matching with newly-constructed empty struct
(match x{}) {} // matching with empty enum(or struct) x
// and then empty block
```
It seems that there is no such code in rust code base, but
there is one test which uses empty match statement:
https://github.com/mozilla/rust/blob/incoming/src/test/run-pass/issue-3037.rs
All other cases could be distinguished with look-ahead,
but this can't be. One possible solution is wrapping with
parentheses when matching with an uninhabited type.
```rust
enum what { }
fn match_with_empty(x: what) -> ~str {
match (x) { //use parentheses to remove the ambiguity
}
}
```
I have seen a few people confused on how to explicitly instantiate generic functions, since the syntax differs from C++'s and C#'s, which is probably where most people asking questions about generic functions are coming from. The only use of the `::<T>` syntax in the reference right now is in the section on paths, which is possibly not where someone trying to find out about generic functions is going to start looking. The tutorial doesn't mention it at all, but I think it's all right to make the reference a tiny bit more redundant and avoid stuffing the tutorial with syntax details.
----
The "Generic functions" subsection mentions that generic functions are instantiated based on context, so let's also mention right away (with a link to the #paths section) that an explicit form is available.
This also adds an example that explicitly instantiates a generic function to the function call expression section.
