The regex library was largely used for non-critical aspects of the compiler and
various external tooling. The library at this point is duplicated with its
out-of-tree counterpart and as such imposes a bit of a maintenance overhead as
well as compile time hit for the compiler itself.
The last major user of the regex library is the libtest library, using regexes
for filters when running tests. This removal means that the filtering has gone
back to substring matching rather than using regexes.
This is a bit of cleanup work to clean out some old deprecated flags and deprecated lint names from the compiler (they've been deprecated for quite awhile now).
This also notably puts `--pretty` behind the `-Z unstable-options` flag (where it was supposed to be previously).
This does the bare minimum to make registration of error codes work again. After this patch, every call to `span_err!` with an error code gets that error code validated against a list in that crate and a new tidy script `errorck.py` validates that no error codes are duplicated globally.
There are further improvements to be made yet, detailed in #19624.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 565][rfc] which is a stabilization of
the `std::fmt` module and the implementations of various formatting traits.
Specifically, the following changes were performed:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0565-show-string-guidelines.md
* The `Show` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Debug`
* The `String` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Display`
* Many `Debug` and `Display` implementations were audited in accordance with the
RFC and audited implementations now have the `#[stable]` attribute
* Integers and floats no longer print a suffix
* Smart pointers no longer print details that they are a smart pointer
* Paths with `Debug` are now quoted and escape characters
* The `unwrap` methods on `Result` now require `Display` instead of `Debug`
* The `Error` trait no longer has a `detail` method and now requires that
`Display` must be implemented. With the loss of `String`, this has moved into
libcore.
* `impl<E: Error> FromError<E> for Box<Error>` now exists
* `derive(Show)` has been renamed to `derive(Debug)`. This is not currently
warned about due to warnings being emitted on stage1+
While backwards compatibility is attempted to be maintained with a blanket
implementation of `Display` for the old `String` trait (and the same for
`Show`/`Debug`) this is still a breaking change due to primitives no longer
implementing `String` as well as modifications such as `unwrap` and the `Error`
trait. Most code is fairly straightforward to update with a rename or tweaks of
method calls.

Closes#21436
This commit removes a number of deprecated flags from the compiler:
* opt-level => -C opt-level
* debuginfo => -C debuginfo
* print-crate-name => --print crate-name
* print-file-name => --print file-names
* no-trans => -Z no-trans
* no-analysis => -Z no-analysis
* parse-only => -Z parse-only
* dep-info => --emit dep-info
This commit also moves the --pretty flag behind `-Z unstable-options` as the
pretty printer will likely not be stable for 1.0
cc #19051
This commit aims to stabilize the `TypeId` abstraction by moving it out of the
`intrinsics` module into the `any` module of the standard library. Specifically,
* `TypeId` is now defined at `std::any::TypeId`
* `TypeId::hash` has been removed in favor of an implementation of `Hash`.
This commit also performs a final pass over the `any` module, confirming the
following:
* `Any::get_type_id` remains unstable as *usage* of the `Any` trait will likely
never require this, and the `Any` trait does not need to be implemented for
any other types. As a result, this implementation detail can remain unstable
until associated statics are implemented.
* `Any::downcast_ref` is now stable
* `Any::downcast_mut` is now stable
* `BoxAny` remains unstable. While a direct impl on `Box<Any>` is allowed today
it does not allow downcasting of trait objects like `Box<Any + Send>` (those
returned from `Thread::join`). This is covered by #18737.
* `BoxAny::downcast` is now stable.
This commit modifies resolve to prevent conflicts with typedef names in the same
method that conflits are prevented with enum names. This is a breaking change
due to the differing semantics in resolve, and any errors generated on behalf of
this change require that a conflicting typedef, module, or structure to be
renamed so they do not conflict.

In accordance with [collections reform part 2][rfc] this macro has been moved to
an external [bitflags crate][crate] which is [available though
crates.io][cratesio]. Inside the standard distribution the macro has been moved
to a crate called `rustc_bitflags` for current users to continue using.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0509-collections-reform-part-2.md
[crate]: https://github.com/rust-lang/bitflags
[cratesio]: http://crates.io/crates/bitflags
The major user of `bitflags!` in terms of a public-facing possibly-stable API
today is the `FilePermissions` structure inside of `std::io`. This user,
however, will likely no longer use `bitflags!` after I/O reform has landed. To
prevent breaking APIs today, this structure remains as-is.
Current users of the `bitflags!` macro should add this to their `Cargo.toml`:
bitflags = "0.1"
and this to their crate root:
#[macro_use] extern crate bitflags;
Due to the removal of a public macro, this is a:

Loading methods from external crates was erroneously using the type's privacy
for each method instead of each method's privacy. This commit fixes that.
Closes#21202
This commit also moves privacy to its own crate because I thought that was where the bug was. Turns out it wasn't, but it helped me iterate at least!
For a call like `foo.bar()` where the method `bar` can't be resolved,
the compiler will search for traits that have methods with name `bar` to
give a more informative error, providing a list of possibilities.
Closes#7643.
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.
