The compiler will now issue a warning for crates that have syntax of the form
`extern crate "foo" as bar`, but it will still continue to accept this syntax.
Additionally, the string `foo-bar` will match the crate name `foo_bar` to assist
in the transition period as well.
This patch will land hopefully in tandem with a Cargo patch that will start
translating all crate names to have underscores instead of hyphens.
cc #23533
This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.
[breaking change]
* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

Require braces when a closure has an explicit return type. This is a [breaking-change]: instead of a closure like `|| -> i32 22`, prefer `|| -> i32 { 22 }`.
Fixes#23420.
* no_split_stack was renamed to no_stack_check
* deriving was renamed to derive
* `use foo::mod` was renamed to `use foo::self`;

* `fn foo() -> &A + B` has been deprecated for some time (needs parens)
* Obsolete `for Sized?` syntax
* Obsolete `Sized? Foo` syntax

Most of the changes are cleanup facilitated by straight-forward attribute handling.
This is a minor [breaking-change] for users of `quote_stmt!` (returns `Option<P<Stmt>>` now) and some of the public methods in `Parser` (a few `Vec<Attribute>` arguments/returns were removed).

This commit deprecates the `count`, `range` and `range_step` functions

This commit stabilizes essentially all of the new `std::path` API. The
API itself is changed in a couple of ways (which brings it in closer
alignment with the RFC):
* `.` components are now normalized away, unless they appear at the
start of a path. This in turn effects the semantics of e.g. asking for
the file name of `foo/` or `foo/.`, both of which yield `Some("foo")`
now. This semantics is what the original RFC specified, and is also
desirable given early experience rolling out the new API.
* The `parent` method is now `without_file` and succeeds if, and only
if, `file_name` is `Some(_)`. That means, in particular, that it fails
for a path like `foo/../`. This change affects `pop` as well.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.

The end result is that common fields (id, name, attributes, etc.) are stored in now-structures `ImplItem` and `TraitItem`.
The signature of a method is no longer duplicated between methods with a body (default/impl) and those without, they now share `MethodSig`.
This is also a [breaking-change] because of minor bugfixes and changes to syntax extensions:
* `pub fn` methods in a trait no longer parse - remove the `pub`, it has no meaning anymore
* `MacResult::make_methods` is now `make_impl_items` and the return type has changed accordingly
* `quote_method` is gone, because `P<ast::Method>` doesn't exist and it couldn't represent a full method anyways - could be replaced by `quote_impl_item`/`quote_trait_item` in the future, but I do hope we realize how silly that combinatorial macro expansion is and settle on a single `quote` macro + some type hints - or just no types at all (only token-trees)
r? @nikomatsakis This is necessary (hopefully also sufficient) for associated constants.
This commit deprecates the majority of std::old_io::fs in favor of std::fs and
its new functionality. Some functions remain non-deprecated but are now behind a
feature gate called `old_fs`. These functions will be deprecated once
suitable replacements have been implemented.
The compiler has been migrated to new `std::fs` and `std::path` APIs where
appropriate as part of this change.
Fixing #21475. Right now this code can not be parsed:
```rust
use m::{START, END};
fn main() {
match 42u32 {
m::START...m::END => {}, // error: expected one of `::`, `=>`, or `|`, found `...`
_ => {},
}
}
mod m {
pub const START: u32 = 4;
pub const END: u32 = 14;
}
```
I fixed the parser and added test for this case, but now there are still problems with mixing literals and paths in interval:
```rust
match 42u32 {
0u32...m::END => {}, // mismatched types in range [E0031]
m::START...59u32 => {}, // mismatched types in range [E0031]
_ => {},
}
}
```
I'll try fix this problem and need review.
This is one more step towards completing #13231
This series of commits add support for default trait implementations. The changes in this PR don't break existing code and they are expected to preserve the existing behavior in the compiler as far as built-in bounds checks go.
The PR adds negative implementations of `Send`/`Sync` for some types and it removes the special cases for `Send`/`Sync` during the trait obligations checks. That is, it now fully relies on the traits check rather than lang items.
Once this patch lands and a new snapshot is created, it'll be possible to add default impls for `Send` and `Sync` and remove entirely the use of `BuiltinBound::{BoundSend,BoundSync}` for positive implementations as well.
This PR also removes the restriction on negative implementations. That is, it is now possible to add negative implementations for traits other than `Send`/`Sync`
This is not a complete implementation of the RFC:
- only existing methods got updated, no new ones added

fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.

This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
This modifies `Parser::eat_lt` to always split up `<<`s, instead of doing so only when a lifetime name followed or the `force` parameter (now removed) was `true`. This is because `Foo<<TYPE` is now a valid start to a type, whereas previously only `Foo<<LIFETIME` was valid.
This is a [breaking-change]. Change code that looks like this:
```rust
let x = foo as bar << 13;

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization
story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports.
Some reexports are kept around, however:
* `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn.
* `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to
prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed.
* All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all
at once to `std::io::prelude::*`.
This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and
the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to
find the locations of where to import them.

This change makes the compiler no longer infer whether types (structures
and enumerations) implement the `Copy` trait (and thus are implicitly
copyable). Rather, you must implement `Copy` yourself via `impl Copy for
MyType {}`.
A new warning has been added, `missing_copy_implementations`, to warn
you if a non-generic public type has been added that could have
implemented `Copy` but didn't.
For convenience, you may *temporarily* opt out of this behavior by using
`#![feature(opt_out_copy)]`. Note though that this feature gate will never be
accepted and will be removed by the time that 1.0 is released, so you should
transition your code away from using it.
This breaks code like:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
Change this code to:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,

impl Copy for Point2D {}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {

As an example of what this changes, the following code:
```rust
let x: [int ..4];
```
Currently spits out ‘expected `]`, found `..`’. However, a comma would also be valid there, as would a number of other tokens. This change adjusts the parser to produce more accurate errors, so that that example now produces ‘expected one of `(`, `+`, `,`, `::`, or `]`, found `..`’.
(Thanks to cramer on IRC for pointing out this problem with diagnostics.)
The only other place I know of that doesn’t allow trailing commas is closure types (#19414), and those are a bit tricky to fix (I suspect it might be impossible without infinite lookahead) so I didn’t implement that in this patch. There are other issues surrounding closure type parsing anyway, in particular #19410.

Use the expected type to infer the argument/return types of unboxed closures. Also, in `||` expressions, use the expected type to decide if the result should be a boxed or unboxed closure (and if an unboxed closure, what kind).
This supercedes PR #19089, which was already reviewed by @pcwalton.
Futureproof Rust for fancier suffixed literals. The Rust compiler tokenises a literal followed immediately (no whitespace) by an identifier as a single token: (for example) the text sequences `"foo"bar`, `1baz` and `1u1024` are now a single token rather than the pairs `"foo"` `bar`, `1` `baz` and `1u` `1024` respectively.
The compiler rejects all such suffixes in the parser, except for the 12 numeric suffixes we have now.
I'm fairly sure this will affect very few programs, since it's not currently legal to have `<literal><identifier>` in a Rust program, except in a macro invocation. Any macro invocation relying on this behaviour can simply separate the two tokens with whitespace: `foo!("bar"baz)` becomes `foo!("bar" baz)`.
This implements [RFC 463](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0463-future-proof-literal-suffixes.md), and so closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19088.
This adds an optional suffix at the end of a literal token:
`"foo"bar`. An actual use of a suffix in a expression (or other literal
that the compiler reads) is rejected in the parser.
This doesn't switch the handling of numbers to this system, and doesn't
outlaw illegal suffixes for them yet.
Came up on IRC that this was a bit unhelpful as to what should actually be *done*. I am new to changing compiler messages, please let me know if there's anything else that needs to be done to accomadate this change.

- `core::num::{Zero, One, Bounded}` have been deprecated. Use the static methods on `core::num::{Float, Int}` instead. There is no equivalent to `Zero::is_zero`. Use `(==)` with `{Float, Int}::zero` instead.
- `Signed::abs_sub` has been moved to `std::num::FloatMath`, and is no longer implemented for signed integers.
- `core::num::Signed` has been removed, and its methods have been moved to `core::num::Float` and a new trait, `core::num::SignedInt`. The methods now take the `self` parameter by value.
- `core::num::{Saturating, CheckedAdd, CheckedSub, CheckedMul, CheckedDiv}` have been removed, and their methods moved to `core::num::Int`. Their parameters are now taken by value. This means that
- `std::time::Duration` no longer implements `core::num::{Zero, CheckedAdd, CheckedSub}` instead defining the required methods non-polymorphically.
- `core::num::{zero, one, abs, signum}` have been deprecated. Use their respective methods instead.
- The `core::num::{next_power_of_two, is_power_of_two, checked_next_power_of_two}` functions have been deprecated in favor of methods defined a new trait, `core::num::UnsignedInt`
- `core::iter::{AdditiveIterator, MultiplicativeIterator}` are now only implemented for the built-in numeric types.
- `core::iter::{range, range_inclusive, range_step, range_step_inclusive}` now require `core::num::Int` to be implemented for the type they a re parametrized over.

parser and uses this in a variety of places to improve error messages.

This common representation for delimeters should make pattern matching easier. Having a separate `token::DelimToken` enum also allows us to enforce the invariant that the opening and closing delimiters must be the same in `ast::TtDelimited`, removing the need to ensure matched delimiters when working with token trees.

The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

This should be clearer, and fits in better with the `TTNonterminal` variant.
Renames:
- `TTTok` -> `TTToken`
- `TTDelim` -> `TTDelimited`
- `TTSeq` -> `TTSequence`
This came up when working [on the gl-rs generator extension](990383de80/src/gl_generator/lib.rs (L135-L146)).
The new definition of `TTDelim` adds an associated `Span` that covers the whole token tree and enforces the invariant that a delimited sequence of token trees must have an opening and closing delimiter.
A `get_span` method has also been added to `TokenTree` type to make it easier to implement better error messages for syntax extensions.
Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount

This adds ‘help’ diagnostic messages to rustc. This is used for anything that provides help to the user, particularly the `--explain` messages that were previously integrated into the relevant error message.

This change is an implementation of [RFC 69][rfc] which adds a third kind of
global to the language, `const`. This global is most similar to what the old
`static` was, and if you're unsure about what to use then you should use a
`const`.
The semantics of these three kinds of globals are:
* A `const` does not represent a memory location, but only a value. Constants
are translated as rvalues, which means that their values are directly inlined
at usage location (similar to a #define in C/C++). Constant values are, well,
constant, and can not be modified. Any "modification" is actually a
modification to a local value on the stack rather than the actual constant
itself.
Almost all values are allowed inside constants, whether they have interior
mutability or not. There are a few minor restrictions listed in the RFC, but
they should in general not come up too often.
* A `static` now always represents a memory location (unconditionally). Any
references to the same `static` are actually a reference to the same memory
location. Only values whose types ascribe to `Sync` are allowed in a `static`.
This restriction is in place because many threads may access a `static`
concurrently. Lifting this restriction (and allowing unsafe access) is a
future extension not implemented at this time.
* A `static mut` continues to always represent a memory location. All references
to a `static mut` continue to be `unsafe`.
This is a large breaking change, and many programs will need to be updated
accordingly. A summary of the breaking changes is:
* Statics may no longer be used in patterns. Statics now always represent a
memory location, which can sometimes be modified. To fix code, repurpose the
matched-on-`static` to a `const`.
static FOO: uint = 4;
match n {
FOO => { /* ... */ }
_ => { /* ... */ }
}
change this code to:
const FOO: uint = 4;
match n {
FOO => { /* ... */ }
_ => { /* ... */ }
}
* Statics may no longer refer to other statics by value. Due to statics being
able to change at runtime, allowing them to reference one another could
possibly lead to confusing semantics. If you are in this situation, use a
constant initializer instead. Note, however, that statics may reference other
statics by address, however.
* Statics may no longer be used in constant expressions, such as array lengths.
This is due to the same restrictions as listed above. Use a `const` instead.

This rewrites them to the current `ItemStatic` production of the compiler, but I
want to get this into a snapshot. It will be illegal to use a `static` in a
pattern of a `match` statement, so all those current uses will need to be
rewritten to `const` once it's implemented. This requires that the stage0
snapshot is able to parse `const`.
cc #17718
Modify ast::ExprMatch to include a new value of type ast::MatchSource,
making it easy to tell whether the match was written literally or
produced via desugaring. This allows us to customize error messages
appropriately.
in favor of `move`.
This breaks code that used `move` as an identifier, because it is now a
keyword. Change such identifiers to not use the keyword `move`.
Additionally, this breaks code that was counting on by-value or
by-reference capture semantics for unboxed closures (behind the feature
gate). Change `ref |:|` to `|:|` and `|:|` to `move |:|`.
Part of RFC #63; part of issue #12831.

Part of issue #16640. I am leaving this issue open to handle parsing of
higher-rank lifetimes in traits.
This change breaks code that used unboxed closures:
* Instead of `F:|&: int| -> int`, write `F:Fn(int) -> int`.
* Instead of `F:|&mut: int| -> int`, write `F:FnMut(int) -> int`.
* Instead of `F:|: int| -> int`, write `F:FnOnce(int) -> int`.

The implementation essentially desugars during type collection and AST
type conversion time into the parameter scheme we have now. Only fully
qualified names--e.g. `<T as Foo>::Bar`--are supported.
