This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.
[breaking change]
* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
The existence of these two functions is at odds with our current [error
conventions][conventions] which recommend that panicking and `Result`-like
variants should not be provided together.

This commit adds a new `borrow_state` function returning a `BorrowState` enum to
`RefCell` which serves as a replacemnt for the `try_borrow` and `try_borrow_mut`
functions.
I searched for times when we were hiding functions with # in the documentation,
and fixed them to not use it unless neccesary.
I also made random improvements whenever I changed something. For example,
I changed Example to Examples, for consistency.
Fixes#13423
This gets rid of the 'experimental' level, removes the non-staged_api
case (i.e. stability levels for out-of-tree crates), and lets the
staged_api attributes use 'unstable' and 'deprecated' lints.
This makes the transition period to the full feature staging design
a bit nicer.
fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.
Part of #20013
[breaking-change]
This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
This pass performs a second pass of stabilization through the `std::sync`
module, avoiding modules/types that are being handled in other PRs (e.g.
mutexes, rwlocks, condvars, and channels).
The following items are now stable
* `sync::atomic`
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_BOOL_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_BOOL`)
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_INT_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_INT`)
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_UINT_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_UINT`)
* `sync::Once`
* `sync::ONCE_INIT`
* `sync::Once::call_once` (was `doit`)
* C == `pthread_once(..)`
* Boost == `call_once(..)`
* Windows == `InitOnceExecuteOnce`
* `sync::Barrier`
* `sync::Barrier::new`
* `sync::Barrier::wait` (now returns a `bool`)
* `sync::Semaphore::new`
* `sync::Semaphore::acquire`
* `sync::Semaphore::release`
The following items remain unstable
* `sync::SemaphoreGuard`
* `sync::Semaphore::access` - it's unclear how this relates to the poisoning
story of mutexes.
* `sync::TaskPool` - the semantics of a failing task and whether a thread is
re-attached to a thread pool are somewhat unclear, and the
utility of this type in `sync` is question with respect to
the jobs of other primitives. This type will likely become
stable or move out of the standard library over time.
* `sync::Future` - futures as-is have yet to be deeply re-evaluated with the
recent core changes to Rust's synchronization story, and will
likely become stable in the future but are unstable until
that time comes.

This patch marks `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, and `Ord` as
`#[stable]`, as well as the majorify of manual implementaitons of these
traits. The traits match the [reform
RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/439).
Along the way, two changes are made:
* The recently-added type parameters for `Ord` and `Eq` are
removed. These were mistakenly added while adding them to `PartialOrd`
and `PartialEq`, but they don't make sense given the laws that are
required for (and use cases for) `Ord` and `Eq`.
* More explicit laws are added for `PartialEq` and `PartialOrd`,
connecting them to their associated mathematical concepts.
In the future, many of the impls should be generalized; see
since generalizing later is not a breaking change.

This patch marks `clone` stable, as well as the `Clone` trait, but
leaves `clone_from` unstable. The latter will be decided by the beta.
The patch also marks most manual implementations of `Clone` as stable,
except where the APIs are otherwise deprecated or where there is
uncertainty about providing `Clone`.

This patch finalizes stabilization for the `cell` module, settling on
the current names `Cell`, `RefCell`, `UnsafeCell`, `Ref` and `RefMut`.
While we had considered improving these names, no one was able to
produce a truly compelling alternative.
There is one substantive change here: the `get` method of `UnsafeSell`
is now marked `unsafe`. Merely getting a raw pointer to the contents is
not, by itself, an unsafe operation. (Consider that you can always
safely turn a reference into a raw pointer, and that raw pointer may
then be aliased by subsequent references.)
This commit performs a second pass stabilization of the `std::default` module.
The module was already marked `#[stable]`, and the inheritance of `#[stable]`
was removed since this attribute was applied. This commit adds the `#[stable]`
attribute to the trait definition and one method name, along with all
implementations found in the standard distribution.

This commit:
* Changes the #deriving code so that it generates code that utilizes fewer
reexports (in particur Option::* and Result::*), which is necessary to
remove those reexports in the future
* Changes other areas of the codebase so that fewer reexports are utilized
