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 alters the behavior of the `Read::read_to_end()` method to zero all
memory instead of passing an uninitialized buffer to `read`. This change is
motivated by the [discussion on the internals forum][discuss] where the
conclusion has been that the standard library will not expose uninitialized
memory.

The method with which backwards compatibility was retained ended up leading to
documentation that rustdoc didn't handle well and largely ended up confusing.
Previously, impls for `[T; n]` were collected in the same place as impls for `[T]` and `&[T]`. This splits them out into their own primitive page in both core and std.
Linking `__pthread_get_minstack`, even weakly, was causing Debian’s `dpkg-shlibdeps` to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned dependency on libc6.
Closes#23628.
This is a [breaking-change]. When indexing a generic map (hashmap, etc) using the `[]` operator, it is now necessary to borrow explicitly, so change `map[key]` to `map[&key]` (consistent with the `get` routine). However, indexing of string-valued maps with constant strings can now be written `map["abc"]`.

This commit implements [RFC 909](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/909):
The `std::thread_local` module is now deprecated, and its contents are
available directly in `std::thread` as `LocalKey`, `LocalKeyState`, and
`ScopedKey`.
The macros remain exactly as they were, which means little if any code
should break. Nevertheless, this is technically a:

This small commit stabilizes the `Error` trait as-is, except that `Send`
and `Debug` are added as constraints. The `Send` constraint is because
most uses of `Error` will be for trait objects, and by default we would
like these objects to be transferrable between threads. The `Debug`
constraint is to ensure that e.g. `Box<Error>` is `Debug`, and because
types that implement `Display` should certainly implement `Debug` in any case.
In the near future we expect to add `Any`-like downcasting features to
`Error`, but this is waiting on some additional
mechanisms (`Reflect`). It will be added before 1.0 via default methods.

Fix regression in -C rpath that causes failures with symlinks
The new `relative_from` method no longer supports the case on unix
where both paths are absolute, which `-C rpath` depended on. This
version fixes the problem by copying the old path_relative_from
function into the rpath module.
Fixes#23140
After experimenting with the new `relative_from` function on `Path` I'm not sure what it's use case is. It no longer even figures out that the relative path from `/foo/bar` to `/foo/baz/qux` is `../baz/qux`.
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.

This commit marks as `#[stable]` the `Entry` types for the maps provided
by `std`. The main reason these had been left unstable previously was
uncertainty about an eventual trait design, but several plausible
designs have been proposed that all work fine with the current type definitions.

Also add a primitive docs for arrays to `std`.
