Replace syntax::opt_vec with syntax::owned_slice
The `owned_slice::OwnedSlice` is `(*T, uint)` (i.e. a direct equivalent to DSTs `~[T]`).
This shaves two words off the old OptVec type; and also makes substituting in other implementations easy, by removing all the mutation methods. (And also everything that's very rarely/never used.)
This is a stand-in until we have a saner `~[T]` type (i.e. a proper
owned slice). It's a library version of what `~[T]` will be, i.e. an
owned pointer and a length.
This is the first step to replacing OptVec with a new representation:
remove all mutability. Any mutations have to go via `Vec` and then make
to `OptVec`.
Many of the uses of OptVec are unnecessary now that Vec has no-alloc
emptiness (and have been converted to Vec): the only ones that really
need it are the AST and sty's (and so on) where there are a *lot* of
instances of them, and they're (mostly) immutable.
`Share` implies that all *reachable* content is *threadsafe*.
Threadsafe is defined as "exposing no operation that permits a data race if multiple threads have access to a &T pointer simultaneously". (NB: the type system should guarantee that if you have access to memory via a &T pointer, the only other way to gain access to that memory is through another &T pointer)...

What this PR will do
================
- [x] Add Share kind and
- [x] Replace usages of Freeze with Share in bounds.
- [x] Add Unsafe<T> #12577
- [x] Forbid taking the address of a immutable static item with `Unsafe<T>` interior
What's left to do in a separate PR (after the snapshot)?
===========================================
- Remove `Freeze` completely
The pretty printer constitues an enormous amount of code, there's no reason for
it to be generic. This just least to a huge amount of metadata which isn't
necessary. Instead, this change migrates the pretty printer to using a trait
object instead.
Closes#12985
This will enable rustdoc to treat them specially.
I also got rid of `std::cmp::cmp2`, which is isomorphic to the `TotalOrd` impl for 2-tuples and never used.
This commit removes all internal support for the previously used __log_level()
expression. The logging subsystem was previously modified to not rely on this
magical expression. This also removes the only other function to use the
module_data map in trans, decl_gc_metadata. It appears that this is an ancient
function from a GC only used long ago.
This does not remove the crate map entirely, as libgreen still uses it to hook
in to the event loop provided by libgreen.
This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external
crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros
and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are:
* The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It
has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost
exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the
end goals of this movement.
* The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the
__log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module
specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging
system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler
itself.
* Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a
magical crate map being available to set module log levels.
* If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's
no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the
highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should
be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one
provided in the rust distribution.
With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some
subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros:
* The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical
log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but
there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level
is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously
generated logging code looked like:
if specified_level <= __module_log_level() {
println!(...)
}
The newly generated code looks like:
if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL {
if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) {
println!(...)
}
}
Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in
that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of
checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have
logging turned on.
This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules
with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive
dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not).
Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but
runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code.
* A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules
that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the
log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally,
warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was
supplied.
The new "hello world" for logging looks like:
#[phase(syntax, link)]
extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("Hello, world!");
}
This commit shreds all remnants of libextra from the compiler and standard
distribution. Two modules, c_vec/tempfile, were moved into libstd after some
cleanup, and the other modules were moved to separate crates as seen fit.

Previously, the cfg attribute `cfg(not(a, b))` was translated to `(!a && !b)`,
but this isn't very useful because that can already be expressed as
`cfg(not(a), not(b))`. This commit changes the translation to `!(a && b)` which
is more symmetrical of the rest of the `cfg` attribute.
Put another way, I would expect `cfg(clause)` to be the opposite of
`cfg(not(clause))`, but this is not currently the case with multiple element
clauses.
# Summary
This patch introduces the `_` token into the type grammar, with the meaning "infer this type".
With this change, the following two lines become equivalent:
```
let x = foo();
let x: _ = foo();
```
But due to its composability, it enables partial type hints like this:
```
let x: Bar<_> = baz();
```
Using it on the item level is explicitly forbidden, as the Rust language does not enable global type inference by design.
This implements the feature requested in https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/9508.
# Things requiring clarification
- The change to enable it is very small, but I have only limited understanding of the related code, so the approach here might be wrong.
- In particular, while this patch works, it does so in a way not originally intended according to the code comments.
- This probably needs more tests, or rather feedback for which tests are still missing.
- I'm unsure how this interacts with lifetime parameters, and whether it is correct in regard to them.
- Partial type hints on the right side of `as` like `&foo as *_` work in both a normal function contexts and in constexprs like `static foo: *int = &'static 123 as *_`. The question is whether this should be allowed in general.
# Todo for this PR
- The manual and tutorial still needs updating.
# Bugs I'm unsure how to fix
- Requesting inference for the top level of the right hand side of a `as` fails to infer correctly, even if all possible hints are given:
```
.../type_hole_1.rs:35:18: 35:22 error: the type of this value must be known in this context
.../type_hole_1.rs:35 let a: int = 1u32 as _;
^~~~
```
rustc: make stack traces print for .span_bug/.bug.
Previously a call to either of those to diagnostic printers would defer
to the `fatal` equivalents, which explicitly silence the stderr
printing, including a stack trace from `RUST_LOG=std::rt::backtrace`.
This splits the bug printers out to their own diagnostic type so that
things work properly.
Also, this removes the `Ok(...)` that was being printed around the
subtask's stderr output.
lint: add lint for use of a `~[T]`.
This is useless at the moment (since pretty much every crate uses
`~[]`), but should help avoid regressions once completely removed from a
crate.
## read+write modifier '+'
This small sugar was left out in the original implementation (#5359).
When an output operand with the '+' modifier is encountered, we store the index of that operand alongside the expression to create and append an input operand later. The following lines are equivalent:
```
asm!("" : "+m"(expr));
asm!("" : "=m"(expr) : "0"(expr));
```
## misplaced options and clobbers give a warning
It's really annoying when a small typo might change behavior without any warning.
```
asm!("mov $1, $0" : "=r"(x) : "r"(8u) : "cc" , "volatile");
//~^ WARNING expected a clobber, but found an option
```
## liveness
Fixed incorrect order of propagation.
Sometimes it caused spurious warnings in code: `warning: value assigned to `i` is never read, #[warn(dead_assignment)] on by default`
~~Note: Rebased on top of another PR. (uses other changes)~~
* [x] Implement read+write
* [x] Warn about misplaced options
* [x] Fix liveness (`dead_assignment` lint)
* [x] Add all tests

For the following code snippet:
```rust
struct Foo { bar: int }
fn foo1(x: &Foo) -> &int {
&x.bar
}
```
This PR generates the following error message:
```rust
test.rs:2:1: 4:2 note: consider using an explicit lifetime parameter as shown: fn foo1<'a>(x: &'a Foo) -> &'a int
test.rs:2 fn foo1(x: &Foo) -> &int {
test.rs:3 &x.bar
test.rs:4 }
test.rs:3:5: 3:11 error: cannot infer an appropriate lifetime for borrow expression due to conflicting requirements
test.rs:3 &x.bar

```
Currently it does not support methods.
