Knowing the result of equality comparison can enable additional
optimizations in LLVM.
Additionally, this makes it obvious that `partial_cmp` on totally
ordered types cannot return `None`.
This commit removes all unstable and deprecated functions in the standard
library. A release was recently cut (1.3) which makes this a good time for some
spring cleaning of the deprecated functions.
The replacements are functions that usually use a single `mem::transmute` in
their body and restrict input and output via more concrete types than `T` and
`U`. Worth noting are the `transmute` functions for slices and the `from_utf8*`
family for mutable slices. Additionally, `mem::transmute` was often used for
casting raw pointers, when you can already cast raw pointers just fine with
`as`.
Many of these have long since reached their stage of being obsolete, so this
commit starts the removal process for all of them. The unstable features that
were deprecated are:
* cmp_partial
* fs_time
* hash_default
* int_slice
* iter_min_max
* iter_reset_fuse
* iter_to_vec
* map_in_place
* move_from
* owned_ascii_ext
* page_size
* read_and_zero
* scan_state
* slice_chars
* slice_position_elem
* subslice_offset
This commit shards the broad `core` feature of the libcore library into finer
grained features. This split groups together similar APIs and enables tracking
each API separately, giving a better sense of where each feature is within the
stabilization process.
A few minor APIs were deprecated along the way:
* Iterator::reverse_in_place
* marker::NoCopy
This is a deprecated attribute that is slated for removal, and it also affects
all implementors of the trait. This commit removes the attribute and fixes up
implementors accordingly. The primary implementation which was lost was the
ability to compare `&[T]` and `Vec<T>` (in that order).
This change also modifies the `assert_eq!` macro to not consider both directions
of equality, only the one given in the left/right forms to the macro. This
modification is motivated due to the fact that `&[T] == Vec<T>` no longer
compiles, causing hundreds of errors in unit tests in the standard library (and
likely throughout the community as well).
Closes#19470

`min`-like functions now return the leftmost element/input for equal elements.
`max`-like return the rightmost.
Closes#23687.

This commit stabilizes the `std::num` module:
* The `Int` and `Float` traits are deprecated in favor of (1) the
newly-added inherent methods and (2) the generic traits available in
rust-lang/num.
* The `Zero` and `One` traits are reintroduced in `std::num`, which
together with various other traits allow you to recover the most
common forms of generic programming.
* The `FromStrRadix` trait, and associated free function, is deprecated
in favor of inherent implementations.
* A wide range of methods and constants for both integers and floating
point numbers are now `#[stable]`, having been adjusted for integer
guidelines.
* `is_positive` and `is_negative` are renamed to `is_sign_positive` and
`is_sign_negative`, in order to address #22985
* The `Wrapping` type is moved to `std::num` and stabilized;
`WrappingOps` is deprecated in favor of inherent methods on the
integer types, and direct implementation of operations on
`Wrapping<X>` for each concrete integer type `X`.

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.
- the self type includes some local type; and,
- type parameters in the self type must be constrained by a local type.
A type parameter is called *constrained* if it appears in some type-parameter of a local type.
Here are some examples that are accepted. In all of these examples, I
assume that `Foo` is a trait defined in another crate. If `Foo` were
defined in the local crate, then all the examples would be legal.
- `impl Foo for LocalType`
- `impl<T> Foo<T> for LocalType` -- T does not appear in Self, so it is OK
- `impl<T> Foo<T> for LocalType<T>` -- T here is constrained by LocalType
- `impl<T> Foo<T> for (LocalType<T>, T)` -- T here is constrained by LocalType
Here are some illegal examples (again, these examples assume that
`Foo` is not local to the current crate):
- `impl Foo for int` -- the Self type is not local
- `impl<T> Foo for T` -- T appears in Self unconstrained by a local type
- `impl<T> Foo for (LocalType, T)` -- T appears in Self unconstrained by a local type
This is a [breaking-change]. For the time being, you can opt out of
the new rules by placing `#[old_orphan_check]` on the trait (and
enabling the feature gate where the trait is defined). Longer term,
you should restructure your traits to avoid the problem. Usually this
means changing the order of parameters so that the "central" type
parameter is in the `Self` position.
As an example of that refactoring, consider the `BorrowFrom` trait:
```rust
pub trait BorrowFrom<Sized? Owned> for Sized? {
fn borrow_from(owned: &Owned) -> &Self;
}
```
As defined, this trait is commonly implemented for custom pointer
types, such as `Arc`. Those impls follow the pattern:
```rust
impl<T> BorrowFrom<Arc<T>> for T {...}
```
Unfortunately, this impl is illegal because the self type `T` is not
local to the current crate. Therefore, we are going to change the order of the parameters,
so that `BorrowFrom` becomes `Borrow`:
```rust
pub trait Borrow<Sized? Borrowed> for Sized? {
fn borrow_from(owned: &Self) -> &Borrowed;
}
```
Now the `Arc` impl is written:
```rust
impl<T> Borrow<T> for Arc<T> { ... }
```
This impl is legal because the self type (`Arc<T>`) is local.
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 commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization
story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports.
Some reexports are kept around, however:
* `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn.
* `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to
prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed.
* All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all
at once to `std::io::prelude::*`.
This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and
the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to
find the locations of where to import them.

Closes#20068
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.

Part of #19253

This allows code like `vec![1i, 2, 3].len();` to work.
This breaks code that uses macros as statements without putting
semicolons after them, such as:
fn main() {
...
assert!(a == b)
assert!(c == d)
println(...);
}
It also breaks code that uses macros as items without semicolons:
local_data_key!(foo)
fn main() {
println("hello world")
}
Add semicolons to fix this code. Those two examples can be fixed as
follows:
fn main() {
...
assert!(a == b);
assert!(c == d);
println(...);
}
local_data_key!(foo);
fn main() {
println("hello world")
}
