I added a new lint for variables whose names contain uppercase characters, since, by convention, variable names should be all lowercase. What motivated me to work on this was when I ran into something like the following:
```rust
use std::io::File;
use std::io::IoError;
fn main() {
let mut f = File::open(&Path::new("/something.txt"));
let mut buff = [0u8, ..16];
match f.read(buff) {
Ok(cnt) => println!("read this many bytes: {}", cnt),
Err(IoError{ kind: EndOfFile, .. }) => println!("Got end of file: {}", EndOfFile.to_str()),
}
}
```
I then got compile errors when I tried to add a wildcard match pattern at the end which I found very confusing since I believed that the 2nd match arm was only matching the EndOfFile condition. The problem is that I hadn't imported io::EndOfFile into the local scope. So, I thought that I was using EndOfFile as a sub-pattern, however, what I was actually doing was creating a new local variable named EndOfFile. This lint makes this error easier to spot by providing a warning that the variable name EndOfFile contains a uppercase characters which provides a nice hint as to why the code isn't doing what is intended.
The lint warns on local bindings as well:
```rust
let Hi = 0;
```
And also struct fields:
```rust
struct Something {
X: uint
}
```
Linker argument order with respect to libraries is important enough that we
shouldn't be attempting to filter out libraries getting passed through to the
linker. When linking with a native library that has multiple dependant native
libraries, it's useful to have control over the link argument order.
- Added `TraitObject` representation to `std::raw`.
- Added doc to `std::raw`.
- Removed `Any::as_void_ptr()` and `Any::as_mut_void_ptr()`
methods as they are uneccessary now after the removal of
headers on owned boxes. This reduces the number of virtual calls needed.
- Made the `..Ext` implementations work directly with the repr of
a trait object.
- Removed `Any`-related traits from the prelude.
- Added bench for `Any`
A couple of syntax extensions manually expanded expressions, but it
wasn't done universally, most noticably inside of asm!().
There's also a bit of random cleanup.
When the metadata format changes, old libraries often cause librustc to abort
when reading their metadata. This should all change with the introduction of SVH
markers, but the loader for crates should gracefully handle libraries without
SVH markers still.
This commit adds support for tripping fewer assertions when loading libraries by
using maybe_get_doc when initially parsing metadata. It's still possible for
some libraries to fall through the cracks, but this should deal with a fairly
large number of them up front.

Now that we can call `flush()` in destructors, I think that it's appropriate for stdout/stderr to return buffered writers by default.
This doesn't enable certain functionality like a buffered stdin does, but it's what you want 90% of the time for performance reasons.
Similarly to #12422 which made stdin buffered by default, this commit makes the
output streams also buffered by default. Now that buffered writers will flush
their contents when they are dropped, I don't believe that there's no reason why
the output shouldn't be buffered by default, which is what you want in 90% of
cases.
As with stdin, there are new stdout_raw() and stderr_raw() functions to get
unbuffered streams to stdout/stderr.
We weren't passing the node id for the enum and hence it couldn't retrieve the field types for the struct variant we were trying to destructure.
Fixes#11577.
From my comment on #11450:
The reason for the ICE is because for operators `rustc` does a little bit of magic. Notice that while you implement the `Mul` trait for some type `&T` (i.e a reference to some T), you can simply do `Vec2 {..} * 2.0f32`. That is, `2.0f32` is `f32` and not `&f32`. This works because `rustc` will automatically take a reference. So what's happening is that with `foo * T`, the compiler is expecting the `mul` method to take some `&U` and then it can compare to make sure `T == U` (or more specifically that `T` coerces to `U`). But in this case, the argument of the `mul` method is not a reference and hence the "no ref" error.
I don't think we should ICE in this case since we do catch the mismatched trait/impl method and hence provide a better error message that way.
Fixes#11450
Formatting via reflection has been a little questionable for some time now, and
it's a little unfortunate that one of the standard macros will silently use
reflection when you weren't expecting it. This adds small bits of code bloat to
libraries, as well as not always being necessary. In light of this information,
this commit switches assert_eq!() to using {} in the error message instead of
{:?}.
In updating existing code, there were a few error cases that I encountered:
* It's impossible to define Show for [T, ..N]. I think DST will alleviate this
because we can define Show for [T].
* A few types here and there just needed a #[deriving(Show)]
* Type parameters needed a Show bound, I often moved this to `assert!(a == b)`
* `Path` doesn't implement `Show`, so assert_eq!() cannot be used on two paths.
I don't think this is much of a regression though because {:?} on paths looks
awful (it's a byte array).
Concretely speaking, this shaved 10K off a 656K binary. Not a lot, but sometime
significant for smaller binaries.
Previously, format!("{a}{b}", a=foo(), b=bar()) has foo() and bar() run in a
nondeterminisc order. This is clearly a non-desirable property, so this commit
uses iteration over a list instead of iteration over a hash map to provide
deterministic code generation of these format arguments.
This new SVH is used to uniquely identify all crates as a snapshot in time of
their ABI/API/publicly reachable state. This current calculation is just a hash
of the entire crate's AST. This is obviously incorrect, but it is currently the
reality for today.
This change threads through the new Svh structure which originates from crate
dependencies. The concept of crate id hash is preserved to provide efficient
matching on filenames for crate loading. The inspected hash once crate metadata
is opened has been changed to use the new Svh.
The goal of this hash is to identify when upstream crates have changed but
downstream crates have not been recompiled. This will prevent the def-id drift
problem where upstream crates were recompiled, thereby changing their metadata,
but downstream crates were not recompiled.
In the future this hash can be expanded to exclude contents of the AST like doc
comments, but limitations in the compiler prevent this change from being made at
this time.

These are types that are in exported type signatures, but are not
exported themselves, e.g.
struct Foo { ... }
pub fn bar() -> Foo { ... }
will warn about the Foo.
Such types are not listed in documentation, and cannot be named outside
the crate in which they are declared, which is very user-unfriendly.

With linkers on unix systems, libraries on the right of the command line are
used to resolve symbols in those on the left of the command line. This means
that arguments must have a right-to-left dependency chain (things on the left
depend on things on the right).
This is currently done by ordering the linker arguments as
1. Local object
2. Local native libraries
3. Upstream rust libraries
4. Upstream native libraries
This commit swaps the order of 2 and 3 so upstream rust libraries have access to
local native libraries. It has been seen that some upstream crates don't specify
the library that they link to because the name varies per platform (e.g.
lua/glfw/etc).
This commit enables building these libraries by allowing the upstream rust crate
to have access to local native libraries. I believe that the failure mode for
this scheme is when an upstream rust crate depends on a symbol in an upstream
library which is then redefined in a local library. This failure mode is
incredibly uncommon, and the failure mode also varies per platform (OSX behaves
differently), so I believe that a change like this is fine to make.
Closes#12446
- For each *mutable* static item, check that the **type**:
- cannot own any value whose type has a dtor
- cannot own any values whose type is an owned pointer
- For each *immutable* static item, check that the **value**:
- does not contain any ~ or box expressions
(including ~[1, 2, 3] sort of things)
- does not contain a struct literal or call to an enum
variant / struct constructor where
- the type of the struct/enum has a dtor
The pretty printer was treating block comments with more than two
asterisks after the first slash (e.g. `/***`) as doc comments (which are
attributes), whereas in actual fact they are just regular comments.

The printing of the error message on stack overflow had two sometimes false
assumptions previously. The first is that a local task was always available (it
called Local::take) and the second is that it used `println!` instead of
manually writing.
The first assumption isn't necessarily true because while stack overflow will
likely only be detected in situations that a local task is available, it's not
guaranteed to always be in TLS. For example, during a `println!` call a task
may be blocking, causing it to be unavailable. By using Local::try_take(), we
can be resilient against these occurrences.
The second assumption could lead to odd behavior because the stdout logger can
be overwritten to run arbitrary code. Currently this should be possible, but the
utility is much diminished because a stack overflow translates to an abort()
instead of a failure.

This updates a number of ignore-test tests, and removes a few completely
outdated tests due to the feature being tested no longer being supported.
This brings a number of bench/shootout tests up to date so they're compiling
again. I make no claims to the performance of these benchmarks, it's just nice
to not have bitrotted code.

Apparently weak linkage and dlopen aren't quite working out for applications
like servo on android. There appears to be a bug or two in how android loads
dynamic libraries and for some reason libservo.so isn't being found.
As a temporary solution, add an extern "C" function to libstd which can be
called if you have a handle to the crate map manually. When crawling the crate
map, we then check this manual symbol before falling back to the old solutions.
