Removes all unstable and deprecated APIs prior to the 1.8 release. All APIs that
are deprecated in the 1.8 release are sticking around for the rest of this
cycle.
Some notable changes are:
* The `dynamic_lib` module was moved into `rustc_back` as the compiler still
relies on a few bits and pieces.
* The `DebugTuple` formatter now special-cases an empty struct name with only
one field to append a trailing comma.
Add a link validator to rustbuild
This commit was originally targeted at just adding a link checking script to the rustbuild system. This ended up snowballing a bit to extend rustbuild to be amenable to various tools we have as part of the build system in general.
There's a new `src/tools` directory which has a number of scripts/programs that are purely intended to be used as part of the build system and CI of this repository. This is currently inhabited by rustbook, the error index generator, and a new linkchecker script added as part of this PR. I suspect that more tools like compiletest, tidy scripts, snapshot scripts, etc will migrate their way into this directory over time.
The commit which adds the error index generator shows the steps necessary to add new tools to the build system, namely:
1. New steps are defined for building the tool and running the tool
2. The dependencies are configured
3. The steps are implemented
In terms of the link checker, these commits do a few things:
* A new `src/tools/linkchecker` script is added. This will read an entire documentation tree looking for broken relative links (HTTP links aren't followed yet).
* A large number of broken links throughout the documentation were fixed. Many of these were just broken when viewed from core as opposed to std, but were easily fixed.
* A few rustdoc bugs here and there were fixed
Right now whenever rustdoc inlines a struct or enum from another crate it ends
up inlining *all* `impl` items found in the other crate at the same time. The
rationale for this was to discover all trait impls which are otherwise not
probed for. This unfortunately picks up a lot of impls of public traits for
private types, causing lots of broken links.
This commit instead hoards all of those inlined impls into a temporary storage
location which is then selectively drawn from whenever we inline a new type.
This should ensure that we still inline all relevant impls while avoiding all
private ones.

I still need to add error code explanation test with this, but I can't figure out a way to generate the `.md` files in order to test example source codes.
Will fix#27328.
The goal is that the compiler will pass `Result`s around rather than using abort_if_errors. To preserve behaviour we currently abort at the top level. I've removed all other aborts from the driver, but haven't touched any of the nested aborts.
This commit stabilizes and deprecates library APIs whose FCP has closed in the
last cycle, specifically:
Stabilized APIs:
* `fs::canonicalize`
* `Path::{metadata, symlink_metadata, canonicalize, read_link, read_dir, exists,
is_file, is_dir}` - all moved to inherent methods from the `PathExt` trait.
* `Formatter::fill`
* `Formatter::width`
* `Formatter::precision`
* `Formatter::sign_plus`
* `Formatter::sign_minus`
* `Formatter::alternate`
* `Formatter::sign_aware_zero_pad`
* `string::ParseError`
* `Utf8Error::valid_up_to`
* `Iterator::{cmp, partial_cmp, eq, ne, lt, le, gt, ge}`
* `<[T]>::split_{first,last}{,_mut}`
* `Condvar::wait_timeout` - note that `wait_timeout_ms` is not yet deprecated
but will be once 1.5 is released.
* `str::{R,}MatchIndices`
* `str::{r,}match_indices`
* `char::from_u32_unchecked`
* `VecDeque::insert`
* `VecDeque::shrink_to_fit`
* `VecDeque::as_slices`
* `VecDeque::as_mut_slices`
* `VecDeque::swap_remove_front` - (renamed from `swap_front_remove`)
* `VecDeque::swap_remove_back` - (renamed from `swap_back_remove`)
* `Vec::resize`
* `str::slice_mut_unchecked`
* `FileTypeExt`
* `FileTypeExt::{is_block_device, is_char_device, is_fifo, is_socket}`
* `BinaryHeap::from` - `from_vec` deprecated in favor of this
* `BinaryHeap::into_vec` - plus a `Into` impl
* `BinaryHeap::into_sorted_vec`
Deprecated APIs
* `slice::ref_slice`
* `slice::mut_ref_slice`
* `iter::{range_inclusive, RangeInclusive}`
* `std::dynamic_lib`

This PR closes out #28716 and #28735 by making two changes to the compiler:
1. The `--emit` flag to the compiler now supports the ability to specify the output file name of a partuclar emit type. For example `--emit dep-info=bar.d,asm=foo.s,link` is now accepted.
2. The dep-info emission now emits a dummy target for all input file names to protect against deleted files.
Currently the compiler supports the ability to emit multiple output types as
part of one compilation (e.g. asm, LLVM IR, bytecode, link, dep-info, etc). It
does not, however, support the ability to customize the output filename for each
of these output types. The `-o` flag is ignored if multiple emit types are
specified (and the compiler emits a warning about this).
Normally this doesn't matter too much, but in the case of `dep-info` it can lead
to a number of problems (e.g. see #28716). By allowing customization of the
output filename for each emit type we're able to solve the problems in that
issue.
This commit adds support for the `--emit` option to the compiler to look like:
rustc foo.rs --emit dep-info=.deps/foo.d,link
This indicates that the `dep-info` output type will be placed at `.deps/foo.d`
and the `link` output type will otherwise be determined via the `--out-dir` and
`-o` flags.
Closes#28716
An automated script was run against the `.rs` and `.md` files,
subsituting every occurrence of `task` with `thread`. In the `.rs`
files, only the texts in the comment blocks were affected.
This patch
1. renames libunicode to librustc_unicode,
2. deprecates several pieces of libunicode (see below), and
3. removes references to deprecated functions from
librustc_driver and libsyntax. This may change pretty-printed
output from these modules in cases involving wide or combining
characters used in filenames, identifiers, etc.
The following functions are marked deprecated:
1. char.width() and str.width():
--> use unicode-width crate
2. str.graphemes() and str.grapheme_indices():
--> use unicode-segmentation crate
3. str.nfd_chars(), str.nfkd_chars(), str.nfc_chars(), str.nfkc_chars(),
char.compose(), char.decompose_canonical(), char.decompose_compatible(),
char.canonical_combining_class():
--> use unicode-normalization crate

Whenever a type implements Deref, rustdoc will now add a section to the "methods
available" sections for "Methods from Deref<Target=Foo>", listing all the
inherent methods of the type `Foo`.
Closes#19190
This adds support in rustdoc to blanket apply crate attributes to all doc tests
for a crate at once. The syntax for doing this is:
#![doc(test(attr(...)))]
Each meta item in `...` will be applied to each doctest as a crate attribute.
cc #18199
for `Box<FnBox()>`. I found the alias was still handy because it is
shorter than the fully written type.
This is a [breaking-change]: convert code using `Invoke` to use `FnBox`,
which is usually pretty straight-forward. Code using thunk mostly works
if you change `Thunk::new => Box::new` and `foo.invoke(arg)` to
`foo(arg)`.
This commit removes parser support for `extern crate "foo" as bar` as the
renamed crate is now required to be an identifier. Additionally this commit
enables hard errors on crate names that contain hyphens in them, they must now
solely contain alphanumeric characters or underscores.
If the crate name is inferred from the file name, however, the file name
`foo-bar.rs` will have the crate name inferred as `foo_bar`. If a binary is
being emitted it will have the name `foo-bar` and a library will have the name
`libfoo_bar.rlib`.
This commit is a breaking change for a number of reasons:
* Old syntax is being removed. This was previously only issuing warnings.
* The output for the compiler when input is received on stdin is now `rust_out`
instead of `rust-out`.
* The crate name for a crate in the file `foo-bar.rs` is now `foo_bar` which can
affect infrastructure such as logging.
