rustc: Obsolete the `@` syntax entirely

2014-06-14T17:45:37+00:00

This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental type in the prelude by default. Closes #14193 [breaking-change]

rustc: Remove ~[T] from the language

2014-06-11T22:02:17+00:00

The following features have been removed * box [a, b, c] * ~[a, b, c] * box [a, ..N] * ~[a, ..N] * ~[T] (as a type) * deprecated_owned_vector lint All users of ~[T] should move to using Vec instead.

rustc: Update how Gc is recognized

2014-06-11T16:11:40+00:00

This commit uses the same trick as ~/Box to map Gc to @T internally inside the compiler. This moves a number of implementations of traits to the `gc` module in the standard library. This removes functions such as `Gc::new`, `Gc::borrow`, and `Gc::ptr_eq` in favor of the more modern equivalents, `box(GC)`, `Deref`, and pointer equality. The Gc pointer itself should be much more useful now, and subsequent commits will move the compiler away from @T towards Gc [breaking-change]

core: rename strbuf::StrBuf to string::String

[breaking-change]

Removed unnecessary macro declaration

2014-05-24T16:11:30+00:00

libserialize: Remove all uses of `~str` from `libserialize`.

2014-05-16T18:41:27+00:00

Had to make `struct Tm` in `libtime` not serializable for now.

Restore Decodable impl for ~[T]

2014-05-08T19:08:01+00:00

Bring back the Decodable impl for ~[T], this time using FromVec. It's still not recommended that anyone use this, but at least it's available if necessary.

Handle fallout in libserialize

2014-05-08T19:06:22+00:00

API Changes: - from_base64() returns Result, FromBase64Error> - from_hex() returns Result, FromHexError> - json::List is a Vec - Decodable is no longer implemented on ~[T] (but Encodable still is) - DecoderHelpers::read_to_vec() returns a Result, E>

librustc: Remove `~EXPR`, `~TYPE`, and `~PAT` from the language, except

2014-05-07T06:12:54+00:00

for `~str`/`~[]`. Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for `Box` before the snapshot. How to update your code: * Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`. * Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box`. * Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`. [breaking-change]

Replace most ~exprs with 'box'. #11779
