I recently wrote a blog post on contributing to the Rust compiler which
gained some interest. It was mentioned in a comment on Reddit that it
would be useful to integrate some of the information from that post to
the official contributing guide.
This is the start of my efforts to integrate what I wrote with the
official guide.
This commit adds information on the build system. It is not a complete
guide on the build system, but it should be enough to provide a good
starting place for those wishing to contribute.
In 95d904625b output was accidentally moved
from STDERR to STDOUT.
This commit also changes the order of debug output. Previously, it was:
```
/* id 22: … */ {
…
}
DEBUG:rustc::middle::dataflow:
```
Now, it is:
```
DEBUG:rustc::middle::dataflow: /* id 22: … */ {
…
}
```
Register LLVM passes with the correct LLVM pass manager.
LLVM was upgraded to a new version in this commit:
f9d4149c29
which was part of this pull request:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/26025
Consider the following two lines from that commit:
f9d4149c29 (diff-a3b24dbe2ea7c1981f9ac79f9745f40aL462)f9d4149c29 (diff-a3b24dbe2ea7c1981f9ac79f9745f40aL469)
The purpose of these lines is to register LLVM passes. Prior to the that
commit, the passes being handled were assumed to be ModulePasses (a
specific type of LLVM pass) since they were being added to a ModulePass
manager. After that commit, both lines were refactored (presumably in an
attempt to DRY out the code), but the ModulePasses were changed to be
registered to a FunctionPass manager. This change resulted in
ModulePasses being run, but a Function object was being passed as a
parameter to the pass instead of a Module, which resulted in
segmentation faults.
In this commit, I changed relevant sections of the code to check the
type of the passes being added and register them to the appropriate pass
manager.

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
Version of Clang in repository is 3.9
So, error is caused by
```
./configure --enable-dist-host-only --enable-clang
```
Then, I got
```
configure: error: bad CLANG version: 3.9.0 (http://llvm.org/git/clang.git 3d5d4c39659f11dfbe8e11c857cadf5c449b559b) (http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git, need >=3.0svn
```
I fixed this issue by appending 3.9* in the if sentence.
Thanks.
E0210 explains about orphan rules and suggests using a local type as a workaround. It wasn't obvious to me that I couldn't use a type alias, so I added a note.
I tried to add an inline `span_suggestion()` to the error as well, but since generics don't have their own span it becomes too fragile/complicated to work.

fixes#19477
Responding to [a thread of discussion on the Rust subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/3racik/mutable_lifetimes_are_too_long_when_matching_an/),
it was identified that the presence of the Entry API is not duly
publicised. This commit aims to add some reasonable examples of
common usages of this API to the main example secion of the `HashMap`
documentation.
This is part of issue #29348.
