There are 6 new compiler recognised attributes: deprecated, experimental,
unstable, stable, frozen, locked (these levels are taken directly from
Node's "stability index"[1]). These indicate the stability of the
item to which they are attached; e.g. `#[deprecated] fn foo() { .. }`
says that `foo` is deprecated.
This comes with 3 lints for the first 3 levels (with matching names) that
will detect the use of items marked with them (the `unstable` lint
includes items with no stability attribute). The attributes can be given
a short text note that will be displayed by the lint. An example:
#[warn(unstable)]; // `allow` by default
#[deprecated="use `bar`"]
fn foo() { }
#[stable]
fn bar() { }
fn baz() { }
fn main() {
foo(); // "warning: use of deprecated item: use `bar`"
bar(); // all fine
baz(); // "warning: use of unmarked item"
}
The lints currently only check the "edges" of the AST: i.e. functions,
methods[2], structs and enum variants. Any stability attributes on modules,
enums, traits and impls are not checked.

[2]: the method check is currently incorrect and doesn't work.
Fix#8468. (Though the right answer in the end, as noted on the dialogue on the ticket, might be to just require trait methods to name their parameters, regardless of whether they have a default method implementation or not.)
I think this fixes 8898. I'm a bit unsure about how slices and owned pointers to vectors-of-unit already worked, but since they were already working, I didn't mess with them.
In this commit I:
- removed unneeded heap allocations
- added extra whitespace to crowded expressions
- and removed unneeded syntax
Also, CC @bblum although this change is fairly unobjectionable.
Summary:
-removed "ne" methods in libstd and librustpkg
-made default "ne" be inlined
-made one of the "eq" methods in librustpkg follow more standard parameter naming convention
The only changes to the default passes is that O1 now doesn't run the inline
pass, just always-inline with lifetime intrinsics. O2 also now has a threshold
of 225 instead of 275. Otherwise the default passes being run is the same.
I've also added a few more options for configuring the pass pipeline. Namely you
can now specify arguments to LLVM directly via the `--llvm-args` command line
option which operates similarly to `--passes`. I also added the ability to turn
off pre-population of the pass manager in case you want to run *only* your own
passes.
I would consider this as closing #8890. I don't think that we should change the default inlining threshold because LLVM/clang will probably have chosen those numbers more carefully than we would. Regardless, here's the performance numbers from this commit:
