2016-02-26Use .copy_from_slice() where applicableUlrik Sverdrup-0/+1
.copy_from_slice() does the same job of .clone_from_slice(), but the former is explicitly for Copy elements and calls `memcpy` directly, and thus is it efficient without optimization too.

These were added a long time ago but we long since switched the lint back to allow-by-default, so these annotations shouldn't be necessary.
2016-01-26Auto merge of #31120 - alexcrichton:attribute-deny-warnings, r=brsonbors-2/+3
This commit removes the `-D warnings` flag being passed through the makefiles to all crates to instead be a crate attribute. We want these attributes always applied for all our standard builds, and this is more amenable to Cargo-based builds as well. Note that all `deny(warnings)` attributes are gated with a `cfg(stage0)` attribute currently to match the same semantics we have today
2016-01-26Auto merge of #31081 - alexcrichton:stabilize-hasher, r=aturonbors-1/+0
This commit implements the stabilization of the custom hasher support intended for 1.7 but left out due to some last-minute questions that needed some decisions. A summary of the actions done in this PR are: Stable * `std::hash::BuildHasher` * `BuildHasher::Hasher` * `BuildHasher::build_hasher` * `std::hash::BuildHasherDefault` * `HashMap::with_hasher` * `HashMap::with_capacity_and_hasher` * `HashSet::with_hasher` * `HashSet::with_capacity_and_hasher` * `std::collections::hash_map::RandomState` * `RandomState::new` Deprecated * `std::collections::hash_state` * `std::collections::hash_state::HashState` - this trait was also moved into `std::hash` with a reexport here to ensure that we can have a blanket impl to prevent immediate breakage on nightly. Note that this is unstable in both location. * `HashMap::with_hash_state` - renamed * `HashMap::with_capacity_and_hash_state` - renamed * `HashSet::with_hash_state` - renamed * `HashSet::with_capacity_and_hash_state` - renamed Closes #27713

2016-01-15move const block checks before lowering stepOliver Schneider-1/+0
this makes sure the checks run before typeck (which might use the constant or const function to calculate an array length) and gives prettier error messages in case of for loops and such (since they aren't expanded yet).

2015-12-09Auto merge of #30140 - michaelwoerister:tls-encoding, r=nikomatsakisbors-0/+1
With this commit, metadata encoding and decoding can make use of thread-local encoding and decoding contexts. These allow implementers of `serialize::Encodable` and `Decodable` to access information and datastructures that would otherwise not be available to them. For example, we can automatically translate def-id and span information during decoding because the decoding context knows which crate the data is decoded from. Or it allows to make `ty::Ty` decodable because the context has access to the `ty::ctxt` that is needed for creating `ty::Ty` instances. Some notes: - `tls::with_encoding_context()` and `tls::with_decoding_context()` (as opposed to their unsafe versions) try to prevent the TLS data getting out-of-sync by making sure that the encoder/decoder passed in is actually the same as the one stored in the context. This should prevent accidentally reading from the wrong decoder. - There are no real tests in this PR. I had a unit tests for some of the core aspects of the TLS implementation but it was kind of brittle, a lot of code for mocking `ty::ctxt`, `crate_metadata`, etc and did actually test not so much. The code will soon be tested by the first incremental compilation auto-tests that rely on MIR being properly serialized. However, if people think that some tests should be added before this can land, I'll try to provide some that make sense. r? @nikomatsakis

2015-12-05std: Stabilize APIs for the 1.6 releaseAlex Crichton-5/+2
This commit is the standard API stabilization commit for the 1.6 release cycle. The list of issues and APIs below have all been through their cycle-long FCP and the libs team decisions are listed below Stabilized APIs * `Read::read_exact` * `ErrorKind::UnexpectedEof` (renamed from `UnexpectedEOF`) * libcore -- this was a bit of a nuanced stabilization, the crate itself is now marked as `#[stable]` and the methods appearing via traits for primitives like `char` and `str` are now also marked as stable. Note that the extension traits themeselves are marked as unstable as they're imported via the prelude. The `try!` macro was also moved from the standard library into libcore to have the same interface. Otherwise the functions all have copied stability from the standard library now. * The `#![no_std]` attribute * `fs::DirBuilder` * `fs::DirBuilder::new` * `fs::DirBuilder::recursive` * `fs::DirBuilder::create` * `os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt` * `os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt::mode` * `vec::Drain` * `vec::Vec::drain` * `string::Drain` * `string::String::drain` * `vec_deque::Drain` * `vec_deque::VecDeque::drain` * `collections::hash_map::Drain` * `collections::hash_map::HashMap::drain` * `collections::hash_set::Drain` * `collections::hash_set::HashSet::drain` * `collections::binary_heap::Drain` * `collections::binary_heap::BinaryHeap::drain` * `Vec::extend_from_slice` (renamed from `push_all`) * `Mutex::get_mut` * `Mutex::into_inner` * `RwLock::get_mut` * `RwLock::into_inner` * `Iterator::min_by_key` (renamed from `min_by`) * `Iterator::max_by_key` (renamed from `max_by`) Deprecated APIs * `ErrorKind::UnexpectedEOF` (renamed to `UnexpectedEof`) * `OsString::from_bytes` * `OsStr::to_cstring` * `OsStr::to_bytes` * `fs::walk_dir` and `fs::WalkDir` * `path::Components::peek` * `slice::bytes::MutableByteVector` * `slice::bytes::copy_memory` * `Vec::push_all` (renamed to `extend_from_slice`) * `Duration::span` * `IpAddr` * `SocketAddr::ip` * `Read::tee` * `io::Tee` * `Write::broadcast` * `io::Broadcast` * `Iterator::min_by` (renamed to `min_by_key`) * `Iterator::max_by` (renamed to `max_by_key`) * `net::lookup_addr` New APIs (still unstable) * `<[T]>::sort_by_key` (added to mirror `min_by_key`) Closes #27585 Closes #27704 Closes #27707 Closes #27710 Closes #27711 Closes #27727 Closes #27740 Closes #27744 Closes #27799 Closes #27801 cc #27801 (doesn't close as `Chars` is still unstable) Closes #28968

2015-11-27Auto merge of #30064 - fhartwig:macro-suggestions, r=sanxiynbors-1/+0
Fixes #13677 This does the same sort of suggestion for misspelt macros that we already do for misspelt identifiers. Example. Compiling this program: ```rust macro_rules! foo { ($e:expr) => ( $e ) } fn main() { fob!("hello!"); } ``` gives the following error message: ``` /Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7:5: 7:8 error: macro undefined: 'fob!' /Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7 fob!("hello!"); ^~~ /Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7:5: 7:8 help: did you mean `foo`? /Users/mcp/temp/test.rs:7 fob!("hello!"); ``` I had to move the levenshtein distance function into libsyntax for this. Maybe this should live somewhere else (some utility crate?), but I couldn't find a crate to put it in that is imported by libsyntax and the other rustc crates.

2015-08-14Auto merge of #27641 - nikomatsakis:soundness-rfc-1214, r=nrcbors-0/+2
This PR implements the majority of RFC 1214. In particular, it implements: - the new outlives relation - comprehensive WF checking For the most part, new code receives warnings, not errors, though 3 regressions were found via a crater run. There are some deviations from RFC 1214. Most notably: - we still consider implied bounds from fn ret; this intersects other soundness issues that I intend to address in detail in a follow-up RFC. Fixing this without breaking a lot of code probably requires rewriting compare-method somewhat (which is probably a good thing). - object types do not check trait bounds for fear of encountering `Self`; this was left as an unresolved question in RFC 1214, but ultimately feels inconsistent. Both of those two issues are highlighted in the tracking issue, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27579. #27579 also includes a testing matrix with new tests that I wrote -- these probably duplicate some existing tests, I tried to check but wasn't quite sure what to look for. I tried to be thorough in testing the WF relation, at least, but would welcome suggestions for missing tests. r? @nrc (or perhaps someone else?)
2015-08-12Define the `wf` and `outlives` relation separately, unlike the existingNiko Matsakis-0/+2
`implicator`. These definitions are also in accordance with RFC 1214 (or more so), and hence somewhat different from the implicator. This commit also modifies the implicator to remove the older rules for projections, which can easily trigger infinite loops.

2015-07-16trans: Clean up handling the LLVM data layoutAlex Crichton-6/+0
Turns out for OSX our data layout was subtly wrong and the LLVM update must have exposed this. Instead of fixing this I've removed all data layouts from the compiler to just use the defaults that LLVM provides for all targets. All data layouts (and a number of dead modules) are removed from the compiler here. Custom target specifications can still provide a custom data layout, but it is now an optional key as the default will be used if one isn't specified.

2015-07-10trans: Use LLVM's writeArchive to modify archivesAlex Crichton-1/+0
We have previously always relied upon an external tool, `ar`, to modify archives that the compiler produces (staticlibs, rlibs, etc). This approach, however, has a number of downsides: * Spawning a process is relatively expensive for small compilations * Encoding arguments across process boundaries often incurs unnecessary overhead or lossiness. For example `ar` has a tough time dealing with files that have the same name in archives, and the compiler copies many files around to ensure they can be passed to `ar` in a reasonable fashion. * Most `ar` programs found do **not** have the ability to target arbitrary platforms, so this is an extra tool which needs to be found/specified when cross compiling. The LLVM project has had a tool called `llvm-ar` for quite some time now, but it wasn't available in the standard LLVM libraries (it was just a standalone program). Recently, however, in LLVM 3.7, this functionality has been moved to a library and is now accessible by consumers of LLVM via the `writeArchive` function. This commit migrates our archive bindings to no longer invoke `ar` by default but instead make a library call to LLVM to do various operations. This solves all of the downsides listed above: * Archive management is now much faster, for example creating a "hello world" staticlib is now 6x faster (50ms => 8ms). Linking dynamic libraries also recently started requiring modification of rlibs, and linking a hello world dynamic library is now 2x faster. * The compiler is now one step closer to "hassle free" cross compilation because no external tool is needed for managing archives, LLVM does the right thing! This commit does not remove support for calling a system `ar` utility currently. We will continue to maintain compatibility with LLVM 3.5 and 3.6 looking forward (so the system LLVM can be used wherever possible), and in these cases we must shell out to a system utility. All nightly builds of Rust, however, will stop needing a system `ar`.
