If the feature is enabled, allow method `self` types to be any type
that auto-derefs to `self`.
- Currently, this supports inherent methods as well as trait methods.
The plan AFAIK is to only allow this for trait methods, so I guess it
won’t stay this way
- Dynamic dispatch isn’t implemented yet, so the compiler will ICE if
you define a trait method that takes `self: Rc<Self>` and try to call
it on an `Rc<Trait>`. I will probably just make those methods
non-object-safe initially.
Copy all `AsciiExt` methods to the primitive types directly in order to deprecate it later
**EDIT:** [this PR is ready now](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44042#issuecomment-333883548). I edited this post to reflect the current status of discussion, which is (apart from code review) pretty much settled.

This is my current progress in order to prepare stabilization of #39658. As discussed there (and in #39659), the idea is to deprecated `AsciiExt` and copy all methods to the type directly. Apparently there isn't really a reason to have those methods in an extension trait¹.
~~This is **work in progress**: copy&pasting code while slightly modifying the documentation isn't the most exciting thing to do. Therefore I wanted to already open this WIP PR after doing basically 1/4 of the job (copying methods to `&[u8]`, `char` and `&str` is still missing) to get some feedback before I continue. Some questions possibly worth discussing:~~
1. ~~Does everyone agree that deprecating `AsciiExt` is a good idea? Does everyone agree with the goal of this PR?~~ => apparently yes
2. ~~Are my changes OK so far? Did I do something wrong?~~
3. ~~The issue of the unstable-attribute is currently set to 0. I would wait until you say "Ok" to the whole thing, then create a tracking issue and then insert the correct issue id. Is that ok?~~
4. ~~I tweaked `eq_ignore_ascii_case()`: it now takes the argument `other: u8` instead of `other: &u8`. The latter was enforced by the trait. Since we're not bound to a trait anymore, we can drop the reference, ok?~~ => I reverted this, because the interface has to match the `AsciiExt` interface exactly.
¹ ~~Could it be that we can't write `impl [u8] {}`? This might be the reason for `AsciiExt`. If that is the case: is there a good reason we can't write such an impl block? What can we do instead?~~ => we couldn't at the time this PR was opened, but Simon made it possible.

Right now symbol exports, particularly in a cdylib, are handled by
assuming that `pub extern` combined with `#[no_mangle]` means "export
this". This isn't actually what we want for some symbols that the
standard library uses to implement itself, for example symbols related
to allocation. Additionally other special symbols like
`rust_eh_personallity` have no need to be exported from cdylib crate
types (only needed in dylib crate types).
This commit updates how rustc handles these special symbols by adding to
the hardcoded logic of symbols like `rust_eh_personallity` but also
adding a new attribute, `#[rustc_std_internal_symbol]`, which forces the
export level to be considered the same as all other Rust functions
instead of looking like a C function.
The eventual goal here is to prevent functions like `__rdl_alloc` from
showing up as part of a Rust cdylib as it's just an internal
implementation detail. This then further allows such symbols to get gc'd
by the linker when creating a cdylib.
RFC 2008: Future-proofing enums/structs with #[non_exhaustive] attribute
This work-in-progress pull request contains my changes to implement [RFC 2008](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2008). The related tracking issue is #44109.
As of writing, enum-related functionality is not included and there are some issues related to tuple/unit structs. Enum related tests are currently ignored.
WIP PR requested by @nikomatsakis [in Gitter](https://gitter.im/rust-impl-period/WG-compiler-middle?at=59e90e6297cedeb0482ade3e).
This is done in order to deprecate AsciiExt eventually. Note that
this commit contains a bunch of `cfg(stage0)` statements. This is
due to a new compiler feature this commit depends on: the
`slice_u8` lang item. Once this lang item is available in the
stage0 compiler, all those cfg flags (and more) can be removed.
DefaultImpl is a highly confusing name for what we now call auto impls,
as in `impl Send for ..`. The name auto impl is not formally decided
but for sanity anything is better than `DefaultImpl` which refers
neither to `default impl` nor to `impl Default`.
First step toward implementing impl Trait in argument position
First step implementing #44721.
Add a flag to hir and ty TypeParameterDef and raise an error when using
explicit type parameters when calling a function using impl Trait in
argument position.
I don't know if there is a procedure to add an error code so I just took an available code. Is that ok ?

Initial support for `..=` syntax
#28237
This PR adds `..=` as a synonym for `...` in patterns and expressions.
Since `...` in expressions was never stable, we now issue a warning.

Although RFC 1940 is about annotating functions with `#[must_use]`, a
key part of the motivation was linting unused equality operators.
(See
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1812#issuecomment-265695898—it
seems to have not been clear to discussants at the time that marking the
comparison methods as `must_use` would not give us the lints on
comparison operators, at least in (what the present author understood
as) the most straightforward implementation, as landed in #43728
(3645b062).)
To rectify the situation, we here lint unused comparison operators as
part of the unused-must-use lint (feature gated by the `fn_must_use`
feature flag, which now arguably becomes a slight (tolerable in the
opinion of the present author) misnomer).
This is in the matter of #43302.

hide internal types/traits from std docs via new #[doc(masked)] attribute
Fixes#43701 (hopefully for good this time)
This PR introduces a new parameter to the `#[doc]` attribute that rustdoc looks for on `extern crate` statements. When it sees `#[doc(masked)]` on such a statement, it hides traits and types from that crate from appearing in either the "Trait Implementations" section of many type pages, or the "Implementors" section of trait pages. This is then applied to the `libc`/`rand`/`compiler_builtins` imports in libstd to prevent those crates from creating broken links in the std docs.
Like in #43348, this also introduces a feature gate, `doc_masked`, that controls the use of this parameter.

rustc: Separately feature gate repr(i128)
Brought up during the discussion of #35118, the support for this is still
somewhat buggy and so stabilization likely wants to be considered independently
of the type itself.

feature error span on attribute for fn_must_use, SIMD/align reprs, macro reëxport
There were several feature-gated attributes for which the feature-not-available
error spans would point to the item annotated with the gated attribute, when it
would make more sense for the span to point to the attribute itself: if the
attribute is removed, the function/struct/_&c._ likely still makes sense and the
program will compile. (Note that we decline to make the analogous change for
the `main`, `start`, and `plugin_registrar` features, for in those cases it
makes sense for the span to implicate the entire function, of which there is
little hope of using without the gated attribute.)

Before `#[must_use]` for functions was implemented, a `#[must_use]` attribute
on a function was a no-op. To avoid a breaking change in this behavior, we add
an option for "this-and-such feature is experimental" feature-gate messages to
be a mere warning rather than a compilation-halting failure (so old code that
used to have a useless no-op `#[must_use]` attribute now warns rather than
breaking). When we're on stable, we add a help note to clarify that the feature
isn't "on."
This is in support of #43302.
We'll actually want a new "soft" warning-only gate to maintain
backwards-compatibility, but it's cleaner to start out with the established,
well-understood gate before implementing the alternative warn-only behavior in
a later commit.
This is in the matter of #43302.
