LLVM older that 3.6 has a bug that cause assertions when compiling certain
constructs. For 3.5 there's still a chance that the bug might get fixed
in 3.5.2, so let's keep allowing to compile with it for it for now.
Executing `configure` seems to create the following error due to how the script [parses Pandoc's version](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/configure#L705):
```text
./configure: line 705: [: pandoc: integer expression expected
./configure: line 705: [: 1.12.4.2: integer expression expected
```
This issue seems to stem from a discrepancy between BSD and GNU versions of sed. This patch changes the sed command to use an extended regex, which works with both flavours of sed.
the sed option `--in-place` (or `-i`) is a GNU extension, and it is not
portable to BSD system (openbsd and freebsd checked).
use an alternate construction in order to keep the semantic.
When trying to build against a newer, local LLVM version it might be
preferable to have a flag to disable the LLVM version check instead of
having to modify the configure script.

This adds a new lexer/parser combo for the entire Rust language can be generated with with flex and bison, taken from my project at https://github.com/bleibig/rust-grammar. There is also a testing script that runs the generated parser with all *.rs files in the repository (except for tests in compile-fail or ones that marked as "ignore-test" or "ignore-lexer-test"). If you have flex and bison installed, you can run these tests using the new "check-grammar" make target.
This does not depend on or interact with the existing testing code in the grammar, which only provides and tests a lexer specification.
OS X users should take note that the version of bison that comes with the Xcode toolchain (2.3) is too old to work with this grammar, they need to download and install version 3.0 or later.
The parser builds up an S-expression-based AST, which can be displayed by giving the "-v" argument to parser-lalr (normally it only gives output on error). It is only a rough approximation of what is parsed and doesn't capture every detail and nuance of the program.
Hopefully this should be sufficient for issue #2234, or at least a good starting point.
There's only one build-critical path in which perl is used, and it was to do a text replacement trivially achievable with sed(1).
I ported the indenter script because it [appears to be used][indenter], but removed check links because it appears to be entirely out of date.

This pulls all of our long-form documentation into a single document,
nicknamed "the book" and formally titled "The Rust Programming
Language."
A few things motivated this change:
* People knew of The Guide, but not the individual Guides. This merges
them together, helping discoverability.
* You can get all of Rust's longform documentation in one place, which
is nice.
* We now have rustbook in-tree, which can generate this kind of
documentation. While its style is basic, the general idea is much
better: a table of contents on the left-hand side.
* Rather than a almost 10,000-line guide.md, there are now smaller files
per section.
This partially implements the feature staging described in the
[release channel RFC][rc]. It does not yet fully conform to the RFC as
written, but does accomplish its goals sufficiently for the 1.0 alpha
release.
It has three primary user-visible effects:
* On the nightly channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of feature gates generates a warning.
Code that does not trigger these warnings is considered 'stable',
modulo pre-1.0 bugs.
Disabling the warnings for unstable APIs continues to be done in the
existing (i.e. old) style, via `#[allow(...)]`, not that specified in
the RFC. I deem this marginally acceptable since any code that must do
this is not using the stable dialect of Rust.
Use of feature gates is itself gated with the new 'unstable_features'
lint, on nightly set to 'allow', and on beta 'warn'.
The attribute scheme used here corresponds to an older version of the
RFC, with the `#[staged_api]` crate attribute toggling the staging
behavior of the stability attributes, but the user impact is only
in-tree so I'm not concerned about having to make design changes later
(and I may ultimately prefer the scheme here after all, with the
`#[staged_api]` crate attribute).
Since the Rust codebase itself makes use of unstable features the
compiler and build system to a midly elaborate dance to allow it to
bootstrap while disobeying these lints (which would otherwise be
errors because Rust builds with `-D warnings`).
This patch includes one significant hack that causes a
regression. Because the `format_args!` macro emits calls to unstable
APIs it would trigger the lint. I added a hack to the lint to make it
not trigger, but this in turn causes arguments to `println!` not to be
checked for feature gates. I don't presently understand macro
expansion well enough to fix. This is bug #20661.

This is a work in progress, but this should get *extensive* review, so I'm putting it up early and often.
This is the start of a draft of the new 'ownership guide,' which explains ownership, borrowing, etc. I'm feeling better about this framing than last time's, but we'll see.
This is a collection of misc issues I've run into while adding bindir & libdir support that aren't really bindir & libdir specific.
While I continue to fiddle with bindir and libdir bugs, I figured these might be useful for others to have merged.
Right now we'll end up globbing them into the accepted targets and (ever worse) they will override the make variables of real target files because we `include`d everything in that directory.
As a side effect, editors get a better hint on file types.
Fixies #11671
This commit changes default relative libdir 'lib' to a relative libdir calculated using LIBDIR provided by --libdir configuration option. In case if no option was provided behavior does not change.
We have a default value for this ('/usr/local'), so this warning is
printed ALL the time unless one does --enable-local-rust. As a result,
it doesn't really help at all.
not in hardcoded libdir path. If there was no LIBDIR provided
during configuration fallback to hardcoded paths.
Thanks to Jan Niklas Hasse for solution and to Alex Crichton for improvements.
Closes#11671
