Now that procedural macros no longer link transitively to libsyntax,
this shouldn't be needed any more! This commit is an experiment in
removing all dynamic libraries from rustc except for librustc_driver
itself. Let's see how far we can get with that!
This commit deletes the internal liblog in favor of the implementation that
lives on crates.io. Similarly it's also setting a convention for adding crates
to the compiler. The main restriction right now is that we want compiler
implementation details to be unreachable from normal Rust code (e.g. requires a
feature), and by default everything in the sysroot is reachable via `extern
crate`.
The proposal here is to require that crates pulled in have these lines in their
`src/lib.rs`:
#![cfg_attr(rustbuild, feature(staged_api, rustc_private))]
#![cfg_attr(rustbuild, unstable(feature = "rustc_private", issue = "27812"))]
This'll mean that by default they're not using these attributes but when
compiled as part of the compiler they do a few things:
* Mark themselves as entirely unstable via the `staged_api` feature and the
`#![unstable]` attribute.
* Allow usage of other unstable crates via `feature(rustc_private)` which is
required if the crate relies on any other crates to compile (other than std).
