This commit disables rustc's emission of rpath attributes into dynamic libraries
and executables by default. The functionality is still preserved, but it must
now be manually enabled via a `-C rpath` flag.
This involved a few changes to the local build system:
* --disable-rpath is now the default configure option
* Makefiles now prefer our own LD_LIBRARY_PATH over the user's LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in order to support building rust with rust already installed.
* The compiletest program was taught to correctly pass through the aux dir as a
component of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in more situations.
The major impact of this change is that neither rustdoc nor rustc will work
out-of-the-box in all situations because they are dynamically linked. It must be
arranged to ensure that the libraries of a rust installation are part of the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The default installation paths for all platforms ensure this,
but if an installation is in a nonstandard location, then configuration may be
necessary.
Additionally, for all developers of rustc, it will no longer be possible to run
$target/stageN/bin/rustc out-of-the-box. The old behavior can be regained
through the `--enable-rpath` option to the configure script.
This change brings linux/mac installations in line with windows installations
where rpath is not possible.
Closes#11747

In a cargo-driven world the primary location for the name of a crate will be in
its manifest, not in the source file itself. The purpose of this flag is to
reduce required duplication for new cargo projects.
This is a breaking change because the existing --crate-name flag actually
printed the crate name. This flag was renamed to --print-crate-name, and to
maintain consistence, the --crate-file-name flag was renamed to
--print-file-name.
To maintain backwards compatibility, the --crate-file-name flag is still
recognized, but it is deprecated.

This comit implements a new flag, --extern, which is used to specify where a
crate is located. The purpose of this flag is to bypass the normal crate
loading/matching of the compiler to point it directly at the right file.
This flag takes the form `--extern foo=bar` where `foo` is the name of a crate
and `bar` is the location at which to find the crate. Multiple `--extern`
directives are allowed with the same crate name to specify the rlib/dylib pair
for a crate. It is invalid to specify more than one rlib or more than one dylib,
and it's required that the crates are valid rust crates.
I have also added some extensive documentation to metadata::loader about how
crate loading should work.

The compiler will no longer insert a hash or version into a filename by default.
Instead, all output is simply based off the crate name being compiled. For
example, a crate name of `foo` would produce the following outputs:
* bin => foo
* rlib => libfoo.rlib
* dylib => libfoo.{so,dylib} or foo.dll
* staticlib => libfoo.a
The old behavior has been moved behind a new codegen flag,
`-C extra-filename=<hash>`. For example, with the "extra filename" of `bar` and
a crate name of `foo`, the following outputs would be generated:
* bin => foo (same old behavior)
* rlib => libfoobar.rlib
* dylib => libfoobar.{so,dylib} or foobar.dll
* staticlib => libfoobar.a
The makefiles have been altered to pass a hash by default to invocations of
`rustc` so all installed rust libraries will have a hash in their filename. This
is done because the standard libraries are intended to be installed into
privileged directories such as /usr/local. Additionally, it involves very few
build system changes!
RFC: 0035-remove-crate-id
[breaking-change]
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 was parsed by the parser but completely ignored; not even stored in
the AST!
This breaks code that looks like:
static X: &'static [u8] = &'static [1, 2, 3];
Change this code to the shorter:
static X: &'static [u8] = &[1, 2, 3];

We're going to have more modules under lint, and the paths get unwieldy. We
also plan to have lints run at multiple points in the compilation pipeline.

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();

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.

This completes the last stage of the renaming of the comparison hierarchy of
traits. This change renames TotalEq to Eq and TotalOrd to Ord.
In the future the new Eq/Ord will be filled out with their appropriate methods,
but for now this change is purely a renaming change.
[breaking-change]
This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more
details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord}
or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}.

Passing `--pretty flowgraph=<NODEID>` makes rustc print a control flow graph.
In pratice, you will also need to pass the additional option:
`-o <FILE>` to emit output to a `.dot` file for graphviz.
(You can only print the flow-graph for a particular block in the AST.)
----
An interesting implementation detail is the way the code puts both the
node index (`cfg::CFGIndex`) and a reference to the payload
(`cfg::CFGNode`) into the single `Node` type that is used for
labelling and walking the graph. I had once mistakenly thought that I
only wanted the `cfg::CFGNode`, but for labelling, you really want the
cfg index too, rather than e.g. trying to use the `ast::NodeId` as the
label (which breaks down e.g. due to `ast::DUMMY_NODE_ID`).
----
As a drive-by fix, I had to fix `rustc::middle::cfg::construct`
interface to reflect changes that have happened on the master branch
while I was getting this integrated into the compiler. (The next
commit actually adds tests of the `--pretty flowgraph` functionality,
so that should ensure that the `rustc::middle::cfg` code does not go
stale again.)
This adds the flag --color, which allows the user to force coloring or
turn it off. The default behavior stays the same as before (colorize, if
output goes to tty).
Why this is beneficial is explained in issue #12881.
Please note that this commit doesn't include any regression tests. I
thought about how I'd write a test for this and it doesn't seem to be
worth the effort to me for a UI change like this.
Fixes#12881.
There's no need to include this specific flag just for android. We can
already deal with what it tries to solve by using -C linker=/path/to/cc
and -C ar=/path/to/ar. The Makefiles for rustc already set this up when
we're crosscompiling.
I did add the flag to compiletest though so it can find gdb. Though, I'm
pretty sure we don't run debuginfo tests on android anyways right now.

The goal of this refactoring is to make the rustc driver code easier to understand and use. Since this is as close to an API as we have, I think it is important that it is nice. On getting stuck in, I found that there wasn't as much to change as I'd hoped to make the stage... fns easier to use by tools.
This patch only moves code around - mostly just moving code to different files, but a few extracted method refactorings too. To summarise the changes: I added driver::config which handles everything about configuring the compiler. driver::session now just defines and builds session objects. I moved driver code from librustc/lib.rs to librustc/driver/mod.rs so all the code is one place. I extracted methods to make emulating the compiler without being the compiler a little easier. Within the driver directory, I moved code around to more logically fit in the modules.
