This patch makes `Arc::make_unique` examine the number of weak
references as well as strong references, which is required for safety.
It also adds a `make_unique` method to the `Rc` type for consistency.
Closes#14521.
We already have into_string(), but it was implemented in terms of
into_owned(). Flip it around and deprecate into_owned().
Remove a few spurious calls to .into_owned() that existed in libregex
and librustdoc.
This commit shuffles around some of the `rand` code, along with some
reorganization. The new state of the world is as follows:
* The librand crate now only depends on libcore. This interface is experimental.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::rand`. This interface will
eventually become stable.
Unfortunately, this entailed more of a breaking change than just shuffling some
names around. The following breaking changes were made to the rand library:
* Rng::gen_vec() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_iter() which
will return an infinite stream of random values. Previous behavior can be
regained with `rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()`
* Rng::gen_ascii_str() was removed. This has been replaced with
Rng::gen_ascii_chars() which will return an infinite stream of random ascii
characters. Similarly to gen_iter(), previous behavior can be emulated with
`rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()`
* {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all
relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer
available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same
functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be
generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows
the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs.
* Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be
pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for libcore to not depend on
liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not
supported. If this is undesirable, librand can depend on liballoc and regain
these implementations.
* The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`,
but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice
structure now has a lifetime associated with it.

So far the DWARF information for enums was different for regular enums, univariant enums, Option-like enums, etc. Regular enums were encoded as unions of structs, while the other variants were encoded as bare structs. With the changes in this PR all enums are encoded as unions so that debuggers can reconstruct if something originally was a struct, a univariant enum, or an Option-like enum. For the latter case, information about the *Null* variant is encoded into the union field name. This information can then be used by the debugger to print a `None` value actually as `None` instead of `Some(0x0)`.
The changes in this PR should also fix the regression reported in #14385 and #14411, but I want to close these only after I have confirmation from the original reporters that the issues are actually fixed for them.

references as well as strong references, which is required for safety.

This is a transitionary step towards completing #12517. This change modifies the
compiler to accept Partial{Ord,Eq} as deriving modes which will currently expand
to implementations of PartialOrd and PartialEq (synonyms for Eq/Ord).
After a snapshot, all of deriving(Eq, Ord) will be removed, and after a snapshot
of that, TotalEq/TotalOrd will be renamed to Eq/Ord.
According to the corresponding section, accessing a mutable static variable requires `unsafe` too, and I believe it counts as as language level feature. Add it to the relevant list in the Unsafety section.

rustc: clarify warning about native deps for a staticlib.
This adjusts the "unlinked native library" warning one receives when
compiling with `crate_type="staticlib"`. The warning is just trying to
tell the user that they need to link against these libraries, but the
old text wasn't making this obvious, the new text says this explicitly.
When spawning a process, stdio file descriptors can be configured to be ignored,
which basically means that they'll be closed. Currently this is done by
literally closing the file descriptors in the child, but this can have adverse
side effects if the child process then opens a new file descriptor, assigning it
to a stdio number.
To work around the problems of the child, this commit alters the process
spawning code to map stdio fds to /dev/null on unix (and a similar equivalent on
windows) when they are specified as being ignored. This should allow spawned
programs to have more expected behavior when opening new files.

This is an attempt of fixing #12925.
This PR moves almost all trait implementations for primitive types ((), bool, char, i*, u*, f*) near trait definitions. Only Float trait implementations weren't moved because they heavily rely on constants defined in f32.rs and f64.rs.
Some trait implementations had cfg(not(test)) attribute. I suspect it's because of issue 2912.
Still, someone who knows the problem better should probably check this code.

This was required to get ./configure to work on my armv7 test machine.
I haven't found anything sane to feature gate `hf` on that's pokable from the context of the configure script.
It also seems that gcc doesn't work on armv7 by default (rust wants to pass it `-m32` which isn't supported), would it be preferential to make the default `--enable-clang` on arm, or remove the `-m32` flag on that platform?

The IO libraries casted self to mut so they can pass it to seek(SEEK_CUR, 0).
Fix this by introducing a private seek function that takes &self
- of course one should be careful with it if he lacks an
exclusive reference to self.
