Closes#17841.
The majority of the work should be done, e.g. trait and inherent impls, different forms of UFCS syntax, defaults, and cross-crate usage. It's probably enough to replace the constants in `f32`, `i8`, and so on, or close to good enough.
There is still some significant functionality missing from this commit:
- ~~Associated consts can't be used in match patterns at all. This is simply because I haven't updated the relevant bits in the parser or `resolve`, but it's *probably* not hard to get working.~~
- Since you can't select an impl for trait-associated consts until partway through type-checking, there are some problems with code that assumes that you can check constants earlier. Associated consts that are not in inherent impls cause ICEs if you try to use them in array sizes or match ranges. For similar reasons, `check_static_recursion` doesn't check them properly, so the stack goes ka-blooey if you use an associated constant that's recursively defined. That's a bit trickier to solve; I'm not entirely sure what the best approach is yet.
- Dealing with consts associated with type parameters will raise some new issues (e.g. if you have a `T: Int` type parameter and want to use `<T>::ZERO`). See rust-lang/rfcs#865.
- ~~Unused associated consts don't seem to trigger the `dead_code` lint when they should. Probably easy to fix.~~
Also, this is the first time I've been spelunking in rustc to such a large extent, so I've probably done some silly things in a couple of places.
This changes the `ToTokens` implementations for expressions, statements,
etc. with almost-trivial ones that produce `Interpolated(*Nt(...))`
pseudo-tokens. In this way, quasiquote now works the same way as macros
do: already-parsed AST fragments are used as-is, not reparsed.
The `ToSource` trait is removed. Quasiquote no longer involves
pretty-printing at all, which removes the need for the
`encode_with_hygiene` hack. All associated machinery is removed.
A new `Nonterminal` is added, NtArm, which the parser now interpolates.
This is just for quasiquote, not macros (although it could be in the
future).
`ToTokens` is no longer implemented for `Arg` (although this could be
added again) and `Generics` (which I don't think makes sense).
This breaks any compiler extensions that relied on the ability of
`ToTokens` to turn AST fragments back into inspectable token trees. For
this reason, this closes#16987.
As such, this is a [breaking-change].

This PR uses the inline error suggestions introduced in #24242 to modify a few existing `help` messages. The new errors look like this:

not `&'static Copy` [E0178]
foobar.rs:5 let x: &'static Copy + 'static;

- Functions in parser.rs return PResult<> rather than panicing
- Other functions in libsyntax call panic! explicitly for now if they rely on panicing behaviour.
- 'panictry!' macro added as scaffolding while converting panicing functions.
(This does the same as 'unwrap()' but is easier to grep for and turn into try!())
- Leaves panicing wrappers for the following functions so that the
quote_* macros behave the same:
- parse_expr, parse_item, parse_pat, parse_arm, parse_ty, parse_stmt
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.

The compiler will now issue a warning for crates that have syntax of the form
`extern crate "foo" as bar`, but it will still continue to accept this syntax.
Additionally, the string `foo-bar` will match the crate name `foo_bar` to assist
in the transition period as well.
This patch will land hopefully in tandem with a Cargo patch that will start
translating all crate names to have underscores instead of hyphens.

This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.
[breaking change]
* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

Require braces when a closure has an explicit return type. This is a [breaking-change]: instead of a closure like `|| -> i32 22`, prefer `|| -> i32 { 22 }`.
Fixes#23420.
* no_split_stack was renamed to no_stack_check
* deriving was renamed to derive
* `use foo::mod` was renamed to `use foo::self`;
* legacy lifetime definitions in closures have been replaced with `for` syntax
* `fn foo() -> &A + B` has been deprecated for some time (needs parens)
* Obsolete `for Sized?` syntax
* Obsolete `Sized? Foo` syntax
* Obsolete `|T| -> U` syntax
Most of the changes are cleanup facilitated by straight-forward attribute handling.
This is a minor [breaking-change] for users of `quote_stmt!` (returns `Option<P<Stmt>>` now) and some of the public methods in `Parser` (a few `Vec<Attribute>` arguments/returns were removed).

This commit deprecates the `count`, `range` and `range_step` functions
in `iter`, in favor of range notation. To recover all existing
functionality, a new `step_by` adapter is provided directly on `ops::Range`
and `ops::RangeFrom`.

This commit stabilizes essentially all of the new `std::path` API. The
API itself is changed in a couple of ways (which brings it in closer
alignment with the RFC):
* `.` components are now normalized away, unless they appear at the
start of a path. This in turn effects the semantics of e.g. asking for
the file name of `foo/` or `foo/.`, both of which yield `Some("foo")`
now. This semantics is what the original RFC specified, and is also
desirable given early experience rolling out the new API.
* The `parent` method is now `without_file` and succeeds if, and only
if, `file_name` is `Some(_)`. That means, in particular, that it fails
for a path like `foo/../`. This change affects `pop` as well.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.

struct, to better allow for keeping both parsed and unparsed prefix data.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.
