std: Depend directly on crates.io crates Ever since we added a Cargo-based build system for the compiler the standard library has always been a little special, it's never been able to depend on crates.io crates for runtime dependencies. This has been a result of various limitations, namely that Cargo doesn't understand that crates from crates.io depend on libcore, so Cargo tries to build crates before libcore is finished. I had an idea this afternoon, however, which lifts the strategy from #52919 to directly depend on crates.io crates from the standard library. After all is said and done this removes a whopping three submodules that we need to manage! The basic idea here is that for any crate `std` depends on it adds an optional dependency on an empty crate on crates.io, in this case named `rustc-std-workspace-core`. This crate is overridden via `[patch]` in this repository to point to a local crate we write, and that has a `path` dependency on libcore. Note that all `no_std` crates also depend on `compiler_builtins`, but if we're not using submodules we can publish `compiler_builtins` to crates.io and all crates can depend on it anyway! The basic strategy then looks like: * The standard library (or some transitive dep) decides to depend on a crate `foo`. * The standard library adds ```toml [dependencies] foo = { version = "0.1", features = ['rustc-dep-of-std'] } ``` * The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `rustc-std-workspace-core` * The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `compiler_builtins` * The crate `foo` has a feature `rustc-dep-of-std` which activates these crates and any other necessary infrastructure in the crate. A sample commit for `dlmalloc` [turns out to be quite simple][commit]. After that all `no_std` crates should largely build "as is" and still be publishable on crates.io! Notably they should be able to continue to use stable Rust if necessary, since the `rename-dependency` feature of Cargo is soon stabilizing. As a proof of concept, this commit removes the `dlmalloc`, `libcompiler_builtins`, and `libc` submodules from this repository. Long thorns in our side these are now gone for good and we can directly depend on crates.io! It's hoped that in the long term we can bring in other crates as necessary, but for now this is largely intended to simply make it easier to manage these crates and remove submodules. This should be a transparent non-breaking change for all users, but one possible stickler is that this almost for sure breaks out-of-tree `std`-building tools like `xargo` and `cargo-xbuild`. I think it should be relatively easy to get them working, however, as all that's needed is an entry in the `[patch]` section used to build the standard library. Hopefully we can work with these tools to solve this problem!

Remove all unstable deprecated functionality This commit removes all unstable and deprecated functions in the standard library. A release was recently cut (1.3) which makes this a good time for some spring cleaning of the deprecated functions. 2015-08-12 00:27:05 +00:00			`std::process::exit(255);`
