This commit adds support for the compiler to distinguish between different forms
of lookup paths in the compiler itself. Issue #19767 has some background on this
topic, as well as some sample bugs which can occur if these lookup paths are not
separated.
This commits extends the existing command line flag `-L` with the same trailing
syntax as the `-l` flag. Each argument to `-L` can now have a trailing `:all`,
`:native`, `:crate`, or `:dependency`. This suffix indicates what form of lookup
path the compiler should add the argument to. The `dependency` lookup path is
used when looking up crate dependencies, the `crate` lookup path is used when
looking for immediate dependencies (`extern crate` statements), and the `native`
lookup path is used for probing for native libraries to insert into rlibs. Paths
with `all` are used for all of these purposes (the default).
The default compiler lookup path (the rustlib libdir) is by default added to all
of these paths. Additionally, the `RUST_PATH` lookup path is added to all of
these paths.
Closes#19767
Since runtime is removed, rust has no tasks anymore and everything is moving
from being task-* to thread-*. Let’s rename TaskRng as well!
* Rename TaskRng to ThreadRng
* Rename task_rng to thread_rng

According to [RFC 344][], methods that return `&[u8]` should have names
ending in `bytes`. Though `include_bin!` is a macro not a method, it
seems reasonable to follow the convention anyway.
We keep the old name around for now, but trigger a deprecation warning
when it is used.

This commit shuffles around some CLI flags of the compiler to some more stable
locations with some renamings. The changes made were:
* The `-v` flag has been repurposes as the "verbose" flag. The version flag has
been renamed to `-V`.
* The `-h` screen has been split into two parts. Most top-level options (not
all) show with `-h`, and the remaining options (generally obscure) can be
shown with `--help -v` which is a "verbose help screen"
* The `-V` flag (version flag now) has lost its argument as it is now requested
with `rustc -vV` "verbose version".
* The `--emit` option has had its `ir` and `bc` variants renamed to `llvm-ir`
and `llvm-bc` to emphasize that they are LLVM's IR/bytecode.
* The `--emit` option has grown a new variant, `dep-info`, which subsumes the
`--dep-info` CLI argument. The `--dep-info` flag is now deprecated.
* The `--parse-only`, `--no-trans`, `--no-analysis`, and `--pretty` flags have
moved behind the `-Z` family of flags.
* The `--debuginfo` and `--opt-level` flags were moved behind the top-level `-C`
flag.
* The `--print-file-name` and `--print-crate-name` flags were moved behind one
global `--print` flag which now accepts one of `crate-name`, `file-names`, or
`sysroot`. This global `--print` flag is intended to serve as a mechanism for
learning various metadata about the compiler itself.
* The top-level `--pretty` flag was moved to a number of `-Z` options.
No warnings are currently enabled to allow tools like Cargo to have time to
migrate to the new flags before spraying warnings to all users.

This commit is part of a series that introduces a `std::thread` API to
replace `std::task`.
In the new API, `spawn` returns a `JoinGuard`, which by default will
join the spawned thread when dropped. It can also be used to join
explicitly at any time, returning the thread's result. Alternatively,
the spawned thread can be explicitly detached (so no join takes place).
As part of this change, Rust processes now terminate when the main
thread exits, even if other detached threads are still running, moving
Rust closer to standard threading models. This new behavior may break code
that was relying on the previously implicit join-all.
In addition to the above, the new thread API also offers some built-in
support for building blocking abstractions in user space; see the module
doc for details.

This change makes the compiler no longer infer whether types (structures
and enumerations) implement the `Copy` trait (and thus are implicitly
copyable). Rather, you must implement `Copy` yourself via `impl Copy for
MyType {}`.
A new warning has been added, `missing_copy_implementations`, to warn
you if a non-generic public type has been added that could have
implemented `Copy` but didn't.
For convenience, you may *temporarily* opt out of this behavior by using
`#![feature(opt_out_copy)]`. Note though that this feature gate will never be
accepted and will be removed by the time that 1.0 is released, so you should
transition your code away from using it.
This breaks code like:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
Change this code to:
#[deriving(Show)]
struct Point2D {
x: int,
y: int,
}
impl Copy for Point2D {}
fn main() {
let mypoint = Point2D {
x: 1,
y: 1,
};
let otherpoint = mypoint;
println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint);
}
This is the backwards-incompatible part of #13231.

This is especially useful for declaring a static with external linkage in an executable. There isn't any way to do that currently since we mark everything in an executable as internal by default.
Also, a quick fix to have the no-compiler-rt target option respected when building staticlibs as well.
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}
```

This commit implements processing these two attributes at the crate level as
well as at the item level. When #[cfg] is applied at the crate level, then the
entire crate will be omitted if the cfg doesn't match. The #[cfg_attr] attribute
is processed as usual in that the attribute is included or not depending on
whether the cfg matches.
This was spurred on by motivations of #18585 where #[cfg_attr] annotations will
be applied at the crate-level.

If a dylib is being produced, the compiler will now first check to see if it can
be created entirely statically before falling back to dynamic dependencies. This
behavior can be overridden with `-C prefer-dynamic`.
Due to the alteration in behavior, this is a breaking change. Any previous users
relying on dylibs implicitly maximizing dynamic dependencies should start
passing `-C prefer-dynamic` to compilations.

Removes all target-specific knowledge from rustc. Some targets have changed
during this, but none of these should be very visible outside of
cross-compilation. The changes make our targets more consistent.
iX86-unknown-linux-gnu is now only available as i686-unknown-linux-gnu. We
used to accept any value of X greater than 1. i686 was released in 1995, and
should encompass the bare minimum of what Rust supports on x86 CPUs.
The only two windows targets are now i686-pc-windows-gnu and
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.
The iOS target has been renamed from arm-apple-ios to arm-apple-darwin.
A complete list of the targets we accept now:
arm-apple-darwin
arm-linux-androideabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

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.

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.

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.

Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.
[breaking-change]
All deprecation warnings have been converted to errors. This includes
the warning for multiple cfgs on one item. We'll leave that as an error
for some period of time to ensure that all uses are updated before the
behavior changes from "or" to "and".
The reason that 'ar' can fail with permission denied is that when
link-time optimizations are enabled, rustc copies libraries into a
temporary directory, preserving file permissions, and subsequently
modifies them using 'ar'.
The modification can fail because some package managers may install
libraries in system directories as read-only files, which means the
temporary file also becomes read-only when it is copied.
I have fixed this by giving the temporary file's owner read+write
permissions after the copy.
I have also added a regression test for this issue.
