This stops the compiler ICEing on the use of SIMD types in FFI signatures. It emits correct code for LLVM intrinsics, but I am quite unsure about the ABI handling in general so I've added a new feature gate `simd_ffi` to try to ensure people don't use it without realising there's a non-trivial risk of codegen brokenness.
Closes#20043.
I don't know if this handling of SIMD types is correct for the C ABI on
all platforms, so lets add an even finer feature gate than just the
`simd` one.
The `simd` one can be used with (relatively) little risk of complete
nonsense, the reason for it is that it is likely that things will
change. Using the types in FFI with an incorrect ABI will at best give
absolute nonsense results, but possibly cause serious breakage too, so
this is a step up in badness, hence a new feature gate.
This just compiles a test using SIMD in FFI (mostly importing LLVM
intrinsics) for almost all rustc's supported platforms, but not linking
it or running it, so there's absolutely no guarantee that this is correct.
With the addition of separate search paths to the compiler, it was intended that
applications such as Cargo could require a `--extern` flag per `extern crate`
directive in the source. The system can currently be subverted, however, due to
the `existing_match()` logic in the crate loader.
When loading crates we first attempt to match an `extern crate` directive
against all previously loaded crates to avoid reading metadata twice. This "hit
the cache if possible" step was erroneously leaking crates across the search
path boundaries, however. For example:
extern crate b;
extern crate a;
If `b` depends on `a`, then it will load crate `a` when the `extern crate b`
directive is being processed. When the compiler reaches `extern crate a` it will
use the previously loaded version no matter what. If the compiler was not
invoked with `-L crate=path/to/a`, it will still succeed.
This behavior is allowing `extern crate` declarations in Cargo without a
corresponding declaration in the manifest of a dependency, which is considered
a bug.
This commit fixes this problem by keeping track of the origin search path for a
crate. Crates loaded from the dependency search path are not candidates for
crates which are loaded from the crate search path.

As a result of this fix, this is a likely a breaking change for a number of
Cargo packages. If the compiler starts informing that a crate can no longer be
found, it likely means that the dependency was forgotten in your Cargo.toml.

This makes the tests much easier to maintain; the particular details
of the labels attached to exiting scopes is not worth the effort
required to keep it up to date as things change in the compiler
internals.
This commit takes a first pass at stabilizing `std::thread`:
* It removes the `detach` method in favor of two constructors -- `spawn`
for detached threads, `scoped` for "scoped" (i.e., must-join)
threads. This addresses some of the surprise/frustrating debug
sessions with the previous API, in which `spawn` produced a guard that
on destruction joined the thread (unless `detach` was called).
The reason to have the division in part is that `Send` will soon not
imply `'static`, which means that `scoped` thread creation can take a
closure over *shared stack data* of the parent thread. On the other
hand, this means that the parent must not pop the relevant stack
frames while the child thread is running. The `JoinGuard` is used to
prevent this from happening by joining on drop (if you have not
already explicitly `join`ed.) The APIs around `scoped` are
future-proofed for the `Send` changes by taking an additional lifetime
parameter. With the current definition of `Send`, this is forced to be
`'static`, but when `Send` changes these APIs will gain their full
flexibility immediately.
Threads that are `spawn`ed, on the other hand, are detached from the
start and do not yield an RAII guard.
The hope is that, by making `scoped` an explicit opt-in with a very
suggestive name, it will be drastically less likely to be caught by a
surprising deadlock due to an implicit join at the end of a scope.
* The module itself is marked stable.
* Existing methods other than `spawn` and `scoped` are marked stable.
The migration path is:
```rust
Thread::spawn(f).detached()
```
becomes
```rust
Thread::spawn(f)
```
while
```rust
let res = Thread::spawn(f);
res.join()
```
becomes
```rust
let res = Thread::scoped(f);
res.join()
```

This warning has been around in the compiler for quite some time now, but the
real place for a warning like this, if it should exist, is in Cargo, not in the
compiler itself. It's a first-class feature of Cargo that multiple versions of a
crate can be compiled into the same executable, and we shouldn't be warning
about our first-class features.
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.
As discovered in #20376, the MSYS shell will silently rewrite arguemnts that
look like unix paths into their windows path counterparts for compatibility, but
the recently added `:kind` syntax added to the `-L` flag does not allow for this
form of rewriting. This means that the syntax can be difficult to use at an MSYS
prompt, as well as causing tests to fail when run manuall right now.
This commit takes the other option presented in the original issue to prefix the
path with `kind=` instead of suffixing it with `:kind`. For consistence, the
`-l` flag is also now migrating to `kind=name`.
This is a breaking change due to the *removal* of behavior with `-L`. All code
using `:kind` should now pass `kind=` for `-L` arguments. This is not currently,
but will become, a breaking change for `-l` flags. The old `name:kind` syntax is
still accepted, but all code should update to `kind=name`.

This commit adds support for the compiler to distinguish between different forms
of lookup paths in the compiler itself. Issue #19767 has some background on this
topic, as well as some sample bugs which can occur if these lookup paths are not
separated.
This commits extends the existing command line flag `-L` with the same trailing
syntax as the `-l` flag. Each argument to `-L` can now have a trailing `:all`,
`:native`, `:crate`, or `:dependency`. This suffix indicates what form of lookup
path the compiler should add the argument to. The `dependency` lookup path is
used when looking up crate dependencies, the `crate` lookup path is used when
looking for immediate dependencies (`extern crate` statements), and the `native`
lookup path is used for probing for native libraries to insert into rlibs. Paths
with `all` are used for all of these purposes (the default).
The default compiler lookup path (the rustlib libdir) is by default added to all
of these paths. Additionally, the `RUST_PATH` lookup path is added to all of
these paths.

According to [RFC 344][], methods that return `&[u8]` should have names
ending in `bytes`. Though `include_bin!` is a macro not a method, it
seems reasonable to follow the convention anyway.
We keep the old name around for now, but trigger a deprecation warning
when it is used.

This commit shuffles around some CLI flags of the compiler to some more stable
locations with some renamings. The changes made were:
* The `-v` flag has been repurposes as the "verbose" flag. The version flag has
been renamed to `-V`.
* The `-h` screen has been split into two parts. Most top-level options (not
all) show with `-h`, and the remaining options (generally obscure) can be
shown with `--help -v` which is a "verbose help screen"
* The `-V` flag (version flag now) has lost its argument as it is now requested
with `rustc -vV` "verbose version".
* The `--emit` option has had its `ir` and `bc` variants renamed to `llvm-ir`
and `llvm-bc` to emphasize that they are LLVM's IR/bytecode.
* The `--emit` option has grown a new variant, `dep-info`, which subsumes the
`--dep-info` CLI argument. The `--dep-info` flag is now deprecated.
* The `--parse-only`, `--no-trans`, `--no-analysis`, and `--pretty` flags have
moved behind the `-Z` family of flags.
* The `--debuginfo` and `--opt-level` flags were moved behind the top-level `-C`
flag.
* The `--print-file-name` and `--print-crate-name` flags were moved behind one
global `--print` flag which now accepts one of `crate-name`, `file-names`, or
`sysroot`. This global `--print` flag is intended to serve as a mechanism for
learning various metadata about the compiler itself.
* The top-level `--pretty` flag was moved to a number of `-Z` options.
No warnings are currently enabled to allow tools like Cargo to have time to
migrate to the new flags before spraying warnings to all users.

This commit is part of a series that introduces a `std::thread` API to
replace `std::task`.
In the new API, `spawn` returns a `JoinGuard`, which by default will
join the spawned thread when dropped. It can also be used to join
explicitly at any time, returning the thread's result. Alternatively,
the spawned thread can be explicitly detached (so no join takes place).
As part of this change, Rust processes now terminate when the main
thread exits, even if other detached threads are still running, moving
Rust closer to standard threading models. This new behavior may break code
that was relying on the previously implicit join-all.
In addition to the above, the new thread API also offers some built-in
support for building blocking abstractions in user space; see the module
doc for details.

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 {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}

This is especially useful for declaring a static with external linkage in an executable. There isn't any way to do that currently since we mark everything in an executable as internal by default.
Also, a quick fix to have the no-compiler-rt target option respected when building staticlibs as well.
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}

This commit implements processing these two attributes at the crate level as
well as at the item level. When #[cfg] is applied at the crate level, then the
entire crate will be omitted if the cfg doesn't match. The #[cfg_attr] attribute
is processed as usual in that the attribute is included or not depending on
whether the cfg matches.
This was spurred on by motivations of #18585 where #[cfg_attr] annotations will
be applied at the crate-level.
