This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes
all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely,
folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate
of each function in the `cast` module.
* transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as
#[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute`
function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment).
For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898
* transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is
is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different
sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This
function is now #[stable]
* forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable]
* bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of
managed boxes as well as its questionable utility.
* transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part
of this commit.
* transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it
can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was
removed.
* transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong
indication that code is incorrect in the first place.
* transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as
`transmute_lifetime`
* copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked
`#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in
the future if it is found to not be very useful.
* copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same
treatment as `copy_lifetime`.
* copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today,
and its existence is not necessary with DST
(copy_lifetime will suffice).
In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the
functions were moved to the `mem` module.

In stage0, all allocations are 8-byte aligned. Passing a size and
alignment to free is not yet implemented everywhere (0 size and 8 align
are used as placeholders). Fixing this is part of #13994.
Closes#13616
This adds a `std::rt::heap` module with a nice allocator API. It's a
step towards fixing #13094 and is a starting point for working on a
generic allocator trait.
The revision used for the jemalloc submodule is the stable 3.6.0 release.
Closes#11807
cindent handles the following case incorrectly:
impl X {
b: int,
//
c: int,
}
if you try and insert a new line after the `c` declaration.
To fix this, fix the get_line_trimmed() function to work properly, and
then extend GetRustIndent to keep searching backwards until it finds a
non-blank line after trimming. This lets it handle the trailing comma
case properly, as if the comment were never there.
Fixes#14041.
See #14064 for some rationale, but the basic idea is that I suspect that there
is an LLVM codegen bug somewhere, and I'm not entirely sure why it's happening
intermittently rather than deterministically...

Printing <no-bounds> on trait objects comes from a time when trait
objects had a non-empty default bounds set. As they no longer have any
default bounds, printing <no-bounds> is just noise.

Attribute grammar in reference manual allowed `#[foo, bar]`, which does not match parser behavior.
Also rename nonterminals to match parser code.

ty::substs struct. This is a holdover from the olden days of yore. This patch
removes the last vestiges of that practice. This is part of the work
I was doing on #5527.
This was intended as part of the I/O timeouts commit, but it was mistakenly
forgotten. The type of the timeout argument is not guaranteed to remain constant
into the future.

With `~[T]` no longer growable, the `FromIterator` impl for `~[T]` doesn't make
much sense. Not only that, but nearly everywhere it is used is to convert from
a `Vec<T>` into a `~[T]`, for the sake of maintaining existing APIs. This turns
out to be a performance loss, as it means every API that returns `~[T]`, even a
supposedly non-copying one, is in fact doing extra allocations and memcpy's.
Even `&[T].to_owned()` is going through `Vec<T>` first.
Remove the `FromIterator` impl for `~[T]`, and adjust all the APIs that relied
on it to start using `Vec<T>` instead. This includes rewriting
`&[T].to_owned()` to be more efficient, among other performance wins.
Also add a new mechanism to go from `Vec<T>` -> `~[T]`, just in case anyone
truly needs that, using the new trait `FromVec`.

The code in resolve erroneously assumed that private enums weren't visited, so
the logic was adjusted to check to see if the enum definition itself was public.

As part of #5527 I had to make some changes here and I just couldn't take it anymore. Refactor the writeback code. Should be functionally equivalent to the old stuff.
