Excluding the functions inherited from the cast module last week (with marked
stability levels), these functions received the following treatment.
* size_of - this method has become #[stable]
* nonzero_size_of/nonzero_size_of_val - these methods have been removed
* min_align_of - this method is now #[stable]
* pref_align_of - this method has been renamed without the
`pref_` prefix, and it is the "default alignment" now. This decision is in line
with what clang does (see url linked in comment on function). This function
is now #[stable].
* init - renamed to zeroed and marked #[stable]
* uninit - marked #[stable]
* move_val_init - renamed to overwrite and marked #[stable]
* {from,to}_{be,le}{16,32,64} - all functions marked #[stable]
* swap/replace/drop - marked #[stable]
* size_of_val/min_align_of_val/align_of_val - these functions are marked
#[unstable], but will continue to exist in some form. Concerns have been
raised about their `_val` prefix.

This commit is part of the ongoing libstd facade efforts (cc #13851). The
compiler now recognizes some language items as "extern { fn foo(...); }" and
will automatically perform the following actions:
1. The foreign function has a pre-defined name.
2. The crate and downstream crates can only be built as rlibs until a crate
defines the lang item itself.
3. The actual lang item has a pre-defined name.
This is essentially nicer compiler support for the hokey
core-depends-on-std-failure scheme today, but it is implemented the same way.
The details are a little more hidden under the covers.
In addition to failure, this commit promotes the eh_personality and
rust_stack_exhausted functions to official lang items. The compiler can generate
calls to these functions, causing linkage errors if they are left undefined. The
checking for these items is not as precise as it could be. Crates compiling with
`-Z no-landing-pads` will not need the eh_personality lang item, and crates
compiling with no split stacks won't need the stack exhausted lang item. For
ease, however, these items are checked for presence in all final outputs of the
compiler.
It is quite easy to define dummy versions of the functions necessary:
#[lang = "stack_exhausted"]
extern fn stack_exhausted() { /* ... */ }
#[lang = "eh_personality"]
extern fn eh_personality() { /* ... */ }
cc #11922, rust_stack_exhausted is now a lang item
cc #13851, libcollections is blocked on eh_personality becoming weak
Closes#14278.
Previously the type signatures of the ordering functions in `core::iter::order` took two iterators, but only if they were the same type of iterator. This commit loosens that restriction and allows different kinds of iterators (but with the same type of elements) to be compared.

Result.unwrap_or_handle() is the equivalent of Option.unwrap_or_else().
In the interests of naming consistency, call it the same thing.

This commit fills in the documentation holes for the FormatWriter trait which
were previously accidentally left blank. Additionally, this adds the `write_fmt`
method to the trait to allow usage of the `write!` macro with implementors of
the `FormatWriter` trait. This is not useful for consumers of the standard
library who should generally avoid the `FormatWriter` trait, but it is useful
for consumers of the core library who are not using the standard library.

This changes the previously naive string searching algorithm to a two-way search like glibc, which should be faster on average while still maintaining worst case linear time complexity. This fixes#14107. Note that I don't think this should be merged yet, as this is the only approach to speeding up search I've tried - it's worth considering options like Boyer-Moore or adding a bad character shift table to this. However, the benchmarks look quite good so far:
test str::bench::bench_contains_bad_naive ... bench: 290 ns/iter (+/- 12) from 1309 ns/iter (+/- 36)
test str::bench::bench_contains_equal ... bench: 479 ns/iter (+/- 10) from 137 ns/iter (+/- 2)
test str::bench::bench_contains_short_long ... bench: 2844 ns/iter (+/- 105) from 5473 ns/iter (+/- 14)
test str::bench::bench_contains_short_short ... bench: 55 ns/iter (+/- 4) from 57 ns/iter (+/- 6)
Except for the case specifically designed to be optimal for the naive case (`bench_contains_equal`), this gets as good or better performance as the previous code.
This is a migration of the std::{f32, f64}::to_str* functionality to the core
library. This removes the growable `Vec` used in favor of a large stack buffer.
The maximum base 10 exponent for f64 is 308, so a stack buffer of 512 bytes
should be sufficient to store all floats.
1. Wherever the `buf` field of a `Formatter` was used, the `Formatter` is used
instead.
2. The usage of `write_fmt` is minimized as much as possible, the `write!` macro
is preferred wherever possible.
3. Usage of `fmt::write` is minimized, favoring the `write!` macro instead.
Now that std::fmt is in libcore, it's possible to implement this as an inherit
method rather than through extension traits.
This commit also tweaks the failure interface of libcore to libstd to what it
should be, one method taking &fmt::Arguments
This commit moves all possible functionality from the standard library's string
formatting utilities into the core library. This is a breaking change, due to a
few tweaks in the semantics of formatting:
1. In order to break the dependency on the std::io module, a new trait,
FormatWriter was introduced in core::fmt. This is the trait which is used
(instead of Writer) to format data into a stream.
2. The new FormatWriter trait has one method, write(), which takes some bytes
and can return an error, but the error contains very little information. The
intent for this trait is for an adaptor writer to be used around the standard
library's Writer trait.
3. The fmt::write{,ln,_unsafe} methods no longer take &mut io::Writer, but
rather &mut FormatWriter. Since this trait is less common, all functions were
removed except fmt::write, and it is not intended to be invoked directly.
The main API-breaking change here is that the fmt::Formatter structure will no
longer expose its `buf` field. All previous code writing directly to `f.buf`
using writer methods or the `write!` macro will now instead use `f` directly.
The Formatter object itself implements the `Writer` trait itself for
convenience, although it does not implement the `FormatWriter` trait. The
fallout of these changes will be in the following commits.

The Float trait in libstd is quite a large trait which has dependencies on cmath
(libm) and such, which libcore cannot satisfy. It also has many functions that
libcore can implement, however, as LLVM has intrinsics or they're just bit
twiddling.
This commit moves what it can of the Float trait from the standard library into
libcore to allow floats to be usable in the core library. The remaining
functions are now resident in a FloatMath trait in the standard library (in the
prelude now). Previous code which was generic over just the Float trait may now
need to be generic over the FloatMath trait.

The core library in theory has 0 dependencies, but in practice it has some in
order for it to be efficient. These dependencies are in the form of the basic
memory operations provided by libc traditionally, such as memset, memcmp, etc.
These functions are trivial to implement and themselves have 0 dependencies.
This commit adds a new crate, librlibc, which will serve the purpose of
providing these dependencies. The crate is never linked to by default, but is
available to be linked to by downstream consumers. Normally these functions are
provided by the system libc, but in other freestanding contexts a libc may not
be available. In these cases, librlibc will suffice for enabling execution with
libcore.

This implements set_timeout() for std::io::Process which will affect wait()
operations on the process. This follows the same pattern as the rest of the
timeouts emerging in std::io::net.
The implementation was super easy for everything except libnative on unix
(backwards from usual!), which required a good bit of signal handling. There's a
doc comment explaining the strategy in libnative. Internally, this also required
refactoring the "helper thread" implementation used by libnative to allow for an
extra helper thread (not just the timer).
This is a breaking change in terms of the io::Process API. It is now possible
for wait() to fail, and subsequently wait_with_output(). These two functions now
return IoResult<T> due to the fact that they can time out.
Additionally, the wait_with_output() function has moved from taking `&mut self`
to taking `self`. If a timeout occurs while waiting with output, the semantics
are undesirable in almost all cases if attempting to re-wait on the process.
Equivalent functionality can still be achieved by dealing with the output
handles manually.

The Normalizations iterator has been renamed to Decompositions.
It does not currently include all forms of Unicode normalization,
but only encompasses decompositions.
If implemented recomposition would likely be a separate iterator
which works on the result of this one.
