This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1183][rfc] which allows swapping out
the default allocator on nightly Rust. No new stable surface area should be
added as a part of this commit.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1183
Two new attributes have been added to the compiler:
* `#![needs_allocator]` - this is used by liballoc (and likely only liballoc) to
indicate that it requires an allocator crate to be in scope.
* `#![allocator]` - this is a indicator that the crate is an allocator which can
satisfy the `needs_allocator` attribute above.
The ABI of the allocator crate is defined to be a set of symbols that implement
the standard Rust allocation/deallocation functions. The symbols are not
currently checked for exhaustiveness or typechecked. There are also a number of
restrictions on these crates:
* An allocator crate cannot transitively depend on a crate that is flagged as
needing an allocator (e.g. allocator crates can't depend on liballoc).
* There can only be one explicitly linked allocator in a final image.
* If no allocator is explicitly requested one will be injected on behalf of the
compiler. Binaries and Rust dylibs will use jemalloc by default where
available and staticlibs/other dylibs will use the system allocator by
default.
Two allocators are provided by the distribution by default, `alloc_system` and
`alloc_jemalloc` which operate as advertised.
Closes#27389
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.
This commit removes the injection of `std::env::args()` from `--test` expanded
code, relying on the test runner itself to call this funciton. This is more
hygienic because we can't assume that `std` exists at the top layer all the
time, and it meaks the injected test module entirely self contained.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1184][rfc] which tweaks the behavior of
the `#![no_std]` attribute and adds a new `#![no_core]` attribute. The
`#![no_std]` attribute now injects `extern crate core` at the top of the crate
as well as the libcore prelude into all modules (in the same manner as the
standard library's prelude). The `#![no_core]` attribute disables both std and
core injection.

This isn't actually necessary any more with the advent of `$crate` and changes
in the compiler to expand macros to `::core::$foo` in the context of a
`#![no_std]` crate.
The libcore inner module was also trimmed down a bit to the bare bones.

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
Having the primitive and module docs derived from the same source
causes problems, primarily that they can't contain hyperlinks
cross-referencing each other.
This crates dedicated private modules in `std` to document the
primitive types, then for all primitives that have a corresponding
module, puts hyperlinks in moth the primitive docs and the module docs
cross-linking each other.
This should help clear up confusion when readers find themselves on
the wrong page.
Yet another attempt to make the prose on the std crate page
clearer and more informative.
This does a lot of things: tightens up the opening, adds useful links
(including a link to the search bar), offers guidance on how to use
the docs, and expands the prelude docs as a useful newbie entrypoint.

We needed a more efficient way to zerofill the vector in read_to_end.
This to reduce the memory intialization overhead to a minimum.
Use the implementation of `std::vec::from_elem` (used for the vec![]
macro) for Vec::resize as well. For simple element types like u8, this
compiles to memset, so it makes Vec::resize much more efficient.
Just like the original article our Windows TLS support is based on predicted,
this symbol must be linked in on MSVC to pull in the necessary support for TLS
variables. This commit fixes a number of unit tests which require that TLS
destructors are run.
It looks like a lot of this dated to previous incarnations of the io
module, etc., and went unused in the reworking leading up to 1.0. Remove
everything we're not actively using (except for signal handling, which
will be reworked in the next commit).
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
