- The signature of the `*_equiv` methods of `HashMap` and similar structures
have changed, and now require one less level of indirection. Change your code
from:
```
hashmap.find_equiv(&"Hello");
hashmap.find_equiv(&&[0u8, 1, 2]);
```
to:
```
hashmap.find_equiv("Hello");
hashmap.find_equiv(&[0u8, 1, 2]);
```
- The generic parameter `T` of the `Hasher::hash<T>` method have become
`Sized?`. Downstream code must add `Sized?` to that method in their
implementations. For example:
```
impl Hasher<FnvState> for FnvHasher {
fn hash<T: Hash<FnvState>>(&self, t: &T) -> u64 { /* .. */ }
}
```
must be changed to:
```
impl Hasher<FnvState> for FnvHasher {
fn hash<Sized? T: Hash<FnvState>>(&self, t: &T) -> u64 { /* .. */ }
// ^^^^^^
}
```

Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.

type they provide an implementation for.
This breaks code like:
mod foo {
struct Foo { ... }
}
impl foo::Foo {
...
}
Change this code to:
mod foo {
struct Foo { ... }
impl Foo {
...
}
}
Additionally, if you used the I/O path extension methods `stat`,
`lstat`, `exists`, `is_file`, or `is_dir`, note that these methods have
been moved to the the `std::io::fs::PathExtensions` trait. This breaks
code like:
fn is_it_there() -> bool {
Path::new("/foo/bar/baz").exists()
}
Change this code to:
use std::io::fs::PathExtensions;
fn is_it_there() -> bool {
Path::new("/foo/bar/baz").exists()
}

Crates that are resolved normally have their path canonicalized and all
symlinks resolved. This does currently not happen for paths specified
using the --extern option to rustc, which can lead to rustc thinking
that it encountered two different versions of a crate, when it's
actually the same version found through different paths.
Fixes#16496

To fix this, we must store the canonical path for crates found via
--extern and also use the canonical path when comparing paths.

For historical reasons, "Win32" has been used in Rust codebase to mean "Windows OS in general".
This is confusing, especially now, that Rust supports Win64 builds.

Not included are two required patches:
* LLVM: segmented stack support for DragonFly [1]
* jemalloc: simple configure patches
[1]: http://reviews.llvm.org/D4705
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.
RFC: 0035-remove-crate-id
This commit modifies crate loading to purely work off a `crate_name` and nothing
else. This commit also changes the patterns recognized from `lib<foo>-*` to
`lib<foo>*` to accomodate the future renamings of output files.

This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

* The select/plural methods from format strings are removed
* The # character no longer needs to be escaped
* The \-based escapes have been removed
* '{{' is now an escape for '{'
* '}}' is now an escape for '}'

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.
transmute - #[unstable]
transmute_copy - #[stable]
forget - #[stable]
copy_lifetime - #[unstable]
copy_mut_lifetime - #[unstable]

This adds the target triple to the crate metadata.
When searching for a crate the phase (link, syntax) is taken into account.
During link phase only crates matching the target triple are considered.
During syntax phase, either the target or host triple will be accepted, unless
the crate defines a macro_registrar, in which case only the host triple will
match.
This is an optimization which is quite impactful for compiling small crates.
Reading libstd's metadata takes about 50ms, and a hello world before this change
took about 100ms (this change halves that time).
Recent changes made it such that this optimization wasn't performed, but I think
it's a better idea do to this for now. See #10786 for tracking this issue.
Fix#13266.
There is a little bit of acrobatics in the definition of `crate_paths`
to avoid calling `clone()` on the dylib/rlib unless we actually are
going to need them.
The other oddity is that I have replaced the `root_ident: Option<&str>`
parameter with a `root: &Option<CratePaths>`, which may surprise one
who was expecting to see something like: `root: Option<&CratePaths>`.
I went with the approach here because I could not come up with code for
the alternative that was acceptable to the borrow checker.
(i.e. semi-generalized version of prior errorinfo gathering.)
Also revised presentation to put each path on its own line, prefixed
by file:linenum information.
The recent pull request to remove libc from libstd has hit a wall in compiling
on windows, and I've been trying to investigate on the try bots as to why (it
compiles locally just fine). To the best of my knowledge, the LLVM section
iterator is behaving badly when iterating over the sections of the libc DLL.
Upon investigating the LLVMGetSectionName function in LLVM, I discovered that
this function doesn't always return a null-terminated string. It returns the
data pointer of a StringRef instance (LLVM's equivalent of &str essentially),
but it has no method of returning the length of the name of the section.
This commit modifies the section iteration when loading libraries to invoke a
custom LLVMRustGetSectionName which will correctly return both the length and
the data pointer.
I have not yet verified that this will fix landing liblibc, as it will require a
snapshot before doing a full test. Regardless, this is a worrisome situation
regarding the LLVM API, and should likely be fixed anyway.

Previously, any library of the pattern `lib<name>-<hash>-<version>.so` was
>considered a candidate (rightly so) for loading a crate. Sets are generated for
each unique `<hash>`, and then from these sets a candidate is selected. If a set
contained more than one element, then it immediately generated an error saying
that multiple copies of the same dylib were found.
This is incorrect because each candidate needs to be validated to actually
contain a rust library (valid metadata). This commit alters the logic to filter
each set of candidates for a hash to only libraries which are actually rust
libraries. This means that if multiple false positives are found with the right
name pattern, they're all ignored.
Closes#13010
