This is an implementation of the rustc bits of [RFC 403][rfc]. This adds a new
flag to the compiler, `-l`, as well as tweaking the `include!` macro (and
related source-centric macros).
The compiler's new `-l` flag is used to link libraries in from the command line.
This flag stacks with `#[link]` directives already found in the program. The
purpose of this flag, also stated in the RFC, is to ease linking against native
libraries which have wildly different requirements across platforms and even
within distributions of one platform. This flag accepts a string of the form
`NAME[:KIND]` where `KIND` is optional or one of dylib, static, or framework.
This is roughly equivalent to if the equivalent `#[link]` directive were just
written in the program.
The `include!` macro has been modified to recursively expand macros to allow
usage of `concat!` as an argument, for example. The use case spelled out in RFC
403 was for `env!` to be used as well to include compile-time generated files.
The macro also received a bit of tweaking to allow it to expand to either an
expression or a series of items, depending on what context it's used in.

I just found this patch which at some point solved a problem I encountered. Unfortunately I apparently dropped it before I managed to write a test case. I'll try to dig up the code that triggered the issue.
Simpler, safer and shorter, in the same spirit of the current version, and the
same performances.
@mahkoh please review, I think I didn't change any performances related thing.
This includes updating the language items and marking what needs to
change after a snapshot.
If you do not use the standard library, the language items you need to
implement have changed. For example:
```rust
#[lang = "fail_fmt"] fn fail_fmt() -> ! { loop {} }
```
is now
```rust
#[lang = "panic_fmt"] fn panic_fmt() -> ! { loop {} }
```
Related, lesser-implemented language items `fail` and
`fail_bounds_check` have become `panic` and `panic_bounds_check`, as
well. These are implemented by `libcore`, so it is unlikely (though
possible!) that these two renamings will affect you.

Fix test suite
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/221
The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

Use the `is_shorthand` field introduced by #17813 (ead6c4b) to make the
prettyprinter output the shorthand form. Fixes a few places that set
`is_shorthand: true` when the pattern is not a PatIdent with the same
name as the field.
This should be clearer, and fits in better with the `TTNonterminal` variant.
Renames:
- `TTTok` -> `TTToken`
- `TTDelim` -> `TTDelimited`
- `TTSeq` -> `TTSequence`
Rather than doing it top-down, with a known expected type, we will now simply establish the appropriate constraints between the pattern and the expression it destructures.
Closes#8783.
Closes#10200.
Adds an `assume` intrinsic that gets translated to llvm.assume. It is
used on a boolean expression and allows the optimizer to assume that
the expression is true.
This implements #18051.
Instead of checking patterns in a top-down fashion with a known
expected type on entry, this changes makes typeck establish
appropriate constraints between a pattern and the expression
it destructures, and lets inference compute the final types
or produce good error messages if it's impossible.
This installs signal handlers to print out stack overflow messages on Linux. It also ensures the main thread has a guard page.
This will catch stack overflows in external code. It's done in preparation of switching to stack probes (#16012).
I've done some simple tests with overflowing the main thread, native threads and green threads (with and without UV) on x86-64.
This might work on ARM, MIPS and x86-32.
I've been unable to run the test suite on this because of #16305.
This reverts commit a0ec902e23 "Avoid
unnecessary temporary on assignments".
Leaving out the temporary for the functions return value can lead to a
situation that conflicts with rust's aliasing rules.
Given this:
````rust
fn func(f: &mut Foo) -> Foo { /* ... */ }
fn bar() {
let mut foo = Foo { /* ... */ };
foo = func(&mut foo);
}
````
We effectively get two mutable references to the same variable `foo` at
the same time. One for the parameter `f`, and one for the hidden
out-pointer. So we can't just `trans_into` the destination directly, but
must use `trans` to get a new temporary slot from which the result can
be copied.
