This allows macros to create tests and benchmarks.
This is possibly unsound (I've got no idea, but it seemed to work), and being able to programmatically generate benchmarks to compare several implementations of similar algorithms is nice.
This fixes the issue described in #4202.
From what I understood of the code, when we reexport a trait in a submodule using e.g. "pub use foo::SomeTrait", we were not previously making an effort to reexport the static methods on that trait.
I'm new to the Rust code base (and the Rust language itself) so my approach may not be kosher, but this patch works by changing the encoder to include the static methods associated with traits.
I couldn't see any tests for this area of the code, so I didn't really have any examples to go by. If tests are needed, I'm happy to work through that if I can get some assistance to do so.
There may be a more efficient implementation of `core::util::swap_ptr`. The issue mentioned using `move_val_init`, but I couldn't figure out what that did, so I just used `copy_memory` a few times instead.
I'm not exactly the best at reading LLVM generated by rust, but this does appear to be optimized away just as expected (when possible).
Closes#6183.
The first commit changes the compiler's method of treating a `for` loop, and all the remaining commits are just dealing with the fallout.
The biggest fallout was the `IterBytes` trait, although it's really a whole lot nicer now because all of the `iter_bytes_XX` methods are just and-ed together. Sadly there was a huge amount of stuff that's `cfg(stage0)` gated, but whoever lands the next snapshot is going to have a lot of fun deleting all this code!
I changed ```RED_ZONE_SIZE``` to ```RZ_MAC_32``` because of stack canary failure.
Here is a LLVM patch for MIPS segmented stacks.

&str can be turned into @~str on demand, using to_owned(), so for
strings, we can create a specialized interner that accepts &str for
intern() and find() but stores and returns @~str.
This improves error reporting for the following class of imports:
```rust
use foo::bar;
```
Where foo, the topmost module, is unresolved. It now results in:
```text
/tmp/foo.rs:1:4: 1:7 error: unresolved import. perhapsyou forgot an 'extern mod foo'?
/tmp/foo.rs:1 use foo::bar;
^~~
/tmp/foo.rs:1:4: 1:12 error: failed to resolve import: foo::bar
/tmp/foo.rs:1 use foo::bar;
^~~~~~~~
error: failed to resolve imports
error: aborting due to 3 previous errors
```
This is the first of a series of changes I plan on making to unresolved name error messages.
As noted by @jwise [here](52445129fd (commitcomment-3172192)), it's probably a good idea to keep these unsafe.
The lint check won't warn about these because it ignore `unsafe fn` declarations.
