What's funny about this one is that spellcheck caught it, but for
some reason didn't give me the right suggestion, so I assumed that it
wasn't in my dictionary. Oh well.
Thanks @P1start! ❤️
The JSON spec requires that these special values be serialized as "null"; the current serialization breaks any conformant JSON parser. So encoding needs to output "null", `to_json` on floating-point types can return `Null` as well as `Number` values, and reading a `Null` value when specifically expecting a number should be interpreted as NaN. There's no way to round-trip Infinity through JSON.
This is my first attempt at both writing Rust and opening pull requests, so please dial your derp detector up to eleven when reviewing. A `rustc --test lib.rs` in `libserialize` passes all tests; a `make check` of the whole tree fails with the error below, but it doesn't look obviously related and the docs say that `make check` is known to be flaky on Windows.

Incidentally, it may just be my lack of familiarity with the language and its idioms, but the duplication between `Encoder`/`PrettyEncoder` had a distinct code smell to it. The size of the file (~3500 lines) also made it a bit hard to navigate. Has there been any discussion of refactoring and/or breaking it up? I couldn't find anything in Issues except the ancient #9028.
This is built on top of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/15162 . cccae83d92 is the only new commit, you may want to look at that rather than the whole diff.
Writing our first Rust program together. This is the most crucial step, so I go to a fairly deep level of detail. Future sections will move more quickly.
This has my voice *very strongly*. I'm not sure if it's too much. I'd find it okay if I had to tone it back, and I don't want it to be _too strong_, but clinical docs are boring.
It turns out that bindings introduced by 'for' loops were not treated hygienically. The fix for this is to make the 'for' expansion more like a macro; rather than expanding sub-pieces and then assembling them, we need to rewrite the for and then call expand again on the whole thing.
This PR includes a test and the fix.
It also contains a number of other things:
- unit tests for other forms of hygiene (currently ignored)
- a fix for the isaac.rs macro that (it turned out) was relying on capturing
- other miscellaneous cleanup and comments

This change starts denying `*T` in the parser. All code using `*T` should ensure
that the FFI call does indeed take `const T*` on the other side before renaming
the type to `*const T`.
Otherwise, all code can rename `*T` to `*const T`.

This will break code like:
fn f(x: &mut int) {}
let mut a = box 1i;
f(a);
Change it to:
fn f(x: &mut int) {}
let mut a = box 1i;
f(&mut *a);
RFC 33; issue #10504.

vector-reference-to-unsafe-pointer-to-element cast if the type to be
casted to is not fully specified.
This is a conservative change to fix the user-visible symptoms of the
issue. A more flexible treatment would delay cast checks to after
function typechecking.
This can break code that did:
let x: *u8 = &([0, 0]) as *_;
Change this code to:
let x: *u8 = &([0, 0]) as *u8;
Closes#14893.

Yes, it is important to be careful, but repeated emphasis about it is probably
not helpful — it starts to sound like you came for a tutorial but found a
finger-wagging lecture.
Even after I removed a few of these comments, there are still several left in
the text. That's probably fine! A couple of mentions of how this is dangerous
and you ought to be careful may be a good reminder to the reader.
After making the edits, I reflowed the paragraphs that I had touched, using
emacs's "M-x fill-paragraph", with fill-column equal to 70.
