There was feedback gathered by @bjz which request for larger click targets in the rustdoc sidebar. Here's my attempt at that.
My only concern with this patch is the removal of `<br>` between sidebar links. This may break formatting for text-only viewers of this documentation. If there is a large enough demographic of people that will be affected, perhaps we can try switching the structure of each sidebar block sidebar to an `<ol>` with each item as a `<li>`.
* Change links to display:block for click larger targets
* Remove linebreaks due to extra space
* Adjust margins so that element spacing stays the same
* Sidebar item hover background colour chosen from `<pre>` styling
Move analyze_restrictions_on_use and check_if_path_is_moved so that all
of the code related to assignments is in a contiguous block at the end
of the file.
Implement the stronger guarantees for mutable borrows from #12624. This
removes the ability to read from a mutably borrowed path for the
duration of the borrow, and enforces a unique access path for any
mutable borrow, for both reads and writes.
This makes mutable borrows work better with concurrent accesses from
multiple threads, and it opens the door for allowing moves out of
mutably borrowed values, as long as a new value is written before the
mutable borrow ends. This also aligns Rust more closely with academic
languages based on substructural types and separation logic.
The most common situation triggering an error after this change is a
call to a function mutably borrowing self with self.field as one of the
arguments. The workaround is to bind self.field to a temporary, but the
need for these temporaries will hopefully go away after #6268 is fixed.
Another situation that triggers an error is using the head expression of
a match in an arm that binds a variable with a mutable reference. The
use of the head expression needs to be replaced with an expression that
reconstructs it from match-bound variables.
This fixes#12624.

Currently analyze_move_out_from checks all restrictions on all base
paths of the move path, but it only needs to check restrictions from
loans of the base paths, and can disregard restrictions from loans of
extensions of those base paths.
This obsoletes the old `to_err_msg` method. Replace
println!("Error: {}", failure.to_err_msg())
let string = failure.to_err_msg();
with
println!("Error: {}", failure)
let string = failure.to_str();

Rust no longer has support for JIT compilation, so it doesn't currently
require a PaX MPROTECT exception. The extended attributes are preferred
over modifying the binaries so it's not actually going to work on most
systems like this anyway.
If JIT compilation ends up being supported again, it should handle this
by *always* applying the exception via an extended attribute without
performing auto-detection of PaX on the host. The `paxctl` tool is only
necessary with the older method involving modifying the ELF binary.
Once a native mutex has been used once, it is never allowed to be moved again.
This is because some pthreads implementations take pointers inside the mutex
itself.
This commit adds stern wording around the methods on native mutexes, and fixes
one use case in the codebase. The Mutex type in libsync was susceptible to
movement, so the inner static mutex is now boxed to ensure that the address of
the native mutex is constant.
This commit fixes a bug in the calculation of the hash of a type which didn't
factor in the length of a constant-sized vector. As a result of this, a type
placed into an Any of a fixed length could be peeled out with any other fixed
length in a safe manner.
RFC #27.
After a snapshot, the old syntax will be removed.
This can break some code that looked like `foo as &Trait:Send`. Now you
will need to write `foo as (&Trait+Send)`.

The current setup is to have a single vector of type parameters in
scope at any one time. We then have to concatenate the parameters from
the impl/trait with those of the method. This makes a lot of things
awkward, most notably associated fns ("static fns"). This branch
restructures the substitutions into three distinct namespaces (type,
self, fn). This makes most of the "type parameter management"
trivial. This also sets us up to support UFCS (though I haven't made
any particular changes in that direction in this patch).
Along the way, this patch fixes a few miscellaneous bits of code cleanup:
1. Patch resolve to detect references to out-of-scope type parameters,
rather than checking for "out of bound" indices during substitution
(fixes#14603).
2. Move def out of libsyntax into librustc where it belongs. I should have
moved DefId too, but didn't.
3. Permit homogeneous tuples like `(T, T, T)` to be used as fixed-length
vectors like `[T, ..3]`. This is awfully handy, though public facing.
I suppose it requires an RFC.
4. Add some missing tests.

parameters
This involves numerous substeps:
1. Treat Self same as any other parameter.
2. No longer compute offsets for method parameters.
3. Store all generic types (both trait/impl and method) with a method,
eliminating odd discrepancies.
4. Stop doing unspeakable things to static methods and instead just use
the natural types, now that we can easily add the type parameters from
trait into the method's polytype.
5. No doubt some more. It was hard to separate these into distinct commits.

Adds a -Z flag `save-analysis` which runs after the analysis phase of the compiler and saves a bunch of info into a CSV file for the crate. This is designed to work with the DXR code browser, but is frontend-independent, that is this info should be useful for all kinds of code browsers, IDEs, or other tools.
I need to squash commits before landing (there will probably be a fair few to come), please ignore them for now and just comment on the changes.
Adds the option -Zsave-analysis which will dump the results of syntax and type checking into CSV files. These can be interpreted by tools such as DXR to provide semantic information about Rust programs for code search, cross-reference, etc.

With this change, rustc creates a unique type identifier for types in debuginfo. These type identifiers are used by LLVM to correctly handle link-time-optimization scenarios but also help rustc with dealing with inlining from other crates. For more information, see the documentation block at the top of librustc/middle/trans/debuginfo.rs and also [my blog post about the topic](http://michaelwoerister.github.io/2014/06/05/rust-debuginfo-and-unique-type-identifiers.html). This should fix the LTO issues that have been popping up lately.
The changes to the debuginfo module's inner workings are also improved by this. Metadata uniquing of pointer types is not handled explicitly instead of relying on LLVM doing the right thing behind the scenes, and region parameters on types should not lead to metadata duplication anymore.
There are two things that I'd like to get some feedback on:
1. IDs for named items consist of two parts: The [Strict Version Hash](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/blob/0.10/src/librustc/back/svh.rs#L11) of their defining crate and the AST node id of their definition within that crate. My question is: Is the SVH a good choice for identifying the crate? Is it even going to stay? The [crate-id RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/109) got me confused.
2. Unique Type Identifiers can be arbitrary strings and right now the format is rather verbose. For debugging this is nice, because one can infer a lot about a type from the type id alone (it's more or less a signature). For deeply nested generics, id strings could get rather long though. One option to limit the id size would be to use some hashcode instead of the full id (anything that avoids collision as much as possible). Another option would be to use a more compact representation, like ty_encode. This reduces size but also readability.
Since these ID's only show up in LLVM IR, I'm inclined to just leave in the verbose format for now, and only act if sizes of rlibs become a problem.
