This commit shuffles around some of the `rand` code, along with some
reorganization. The new state of the world is as follows:
* The librand crate now only depends on libcore. This interface is experimental.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::rand`. This interface will
eventually become stable.
Unfortunately, this entailed more of a breaking change than just shuffling some
names around. The following breaking changes were made to the rand library:
* Rng::gen_vec() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_iter() which
will return an infinite stream of random values. Previous behavior can be
regained with `rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()`
* Rng::gen_ascii_str() was removed. This has been replaced with
Rng::gen_ascii_chars() which will return an infinite stream of random ascii
characters. Similarly to gen_iter(), previous behavior can be emulated with
`rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()`
* {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all
relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer
available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same
functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be
generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows
the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs.
* Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be
pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for librand to not depend on
liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not
supported. If this is undesirable, librand can depend on liballoc and regain
these implementations.
* The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`,
but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice
structure now has a lifetime associated with it.
* The `sample` method on `Rng` has been moved to a top-level function in the
`rand` module due to its dependence on `Vec`.

rustc: clarify warning about native deps for a staticlib.
This adjusts the "unlinked native library" warning one receives when
compiling with `crate_type="staticlib"`. The warning is just trying to
tell the user that they need to link against these libraries, but the
old text wasn't making this obvious, the new text says this explicitly.
When spawning a process, stdio file descriptors can be configured to be ignored,
which basically means that they'll be closed. Currently this is done by
literally closing the file descriptors in the child, but this can have adverse
side effects if the child process then opens a new file descriptor, assigning it
to a stdio number.
To work around the problems of the child, this commit alters the process
spawning code to map stdio fds to /dev/null on unix (and a similar equivalent on
windows) when they are specified as being ignored. This should allow spawned
programs to have more expected behavior when opening new files.
Closes#14456
This is an attempt of fixing #12925.
This PR moves almost all trait implementations for primitive types ((), bool, char, i*, u*, f*) near trait definitions. Only Float trait implementations weren't moved because they heavily rely on constants defined in f32.rs and f64.rs.
Some trait implementations had cfg(not(test)) attribute. I suspect it's because of issue 2912.
Still, someone who knows the problem better should probably check this code.

This was required to get ./configure to work on my armv7 test machine.
I haven't found anything sane to feature gate `hf` on that's pokable from the context of the configure script.
It also seems that gcc doesn't work on armv7 by default (rust wants to pass it `-m32` which isn't supported), would it be preferential to make the default `--enable-clang` on arm, or remove the `-m32` flag on that platform?
The IO libraries casted self to mut so they can pass it to seek(SEEK_CUR, 0).
Fix this by introducing a private seek function that takes &self
- of course one should be careful with it if he lacks an
exclusive reference to self.
Previously this was adding one-too-many `..`s to the path for the
`gotosrc=...` links for local crates. Also, the `root_path` already ends
in `/`s so a trailing / shouldn't be added after the root (some servers
treat `...//...` different to `.../...` including the one running
doc.rust-lang.org).

Because IPv4 address conversion doesn't consider big-endian target, I add functions to handle that.
These function names may need to be changed, but I can't come up with a good one.
This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.
Closes#12019

My main goals were:
- be clear when we talk about "references" and "pointers"
- remove Managed boxes completely and the concept of GC.

Change `for` desugaring & make refutable pattern errors more precise
This changes for to desugar to the `let`-based pattern match as described in #14390, and adjusts the compiler to use this information for error messages that even mention that it's in a `for` loop.
Also, it makes the compiler record the exact positions of refutable parts of a pattern, to point to exactly them in error messages.
This ensures that a public typedef to a private item is ensured to be public in
terms of linkage. This affects both the visibility of the library's symbols as
well as other lints based on privacy (dead_code for example).
