Refactor the optimization passes to explicitly use the passes. This commit
just re-implements the same passes as were already being run.
It also adds an option (behind `-Z`) to run the LLVM lint pass on the
unoptimized IR.
Fix for #6575. In the trans phase, rustc emits code for a function parameter that goes completely unused in the event the return type of the function in question happens to be an immediate.
This patch modifies rustc & parts of rustrt to ensure that the vestigial parameter is no longer present in compiled code.
This works with pandoc linked against highlighting-kate >= 0.5.3.8. It seems to just be a no-op with earlier versions, because I successfully ran this through `try`.
This also fixes some consistency issues (like making `Example`/`Examples` always a header and always using three tildes).
The compiler guarantees that there are no other references to a unique pointer when it's passed by-value to a function.
The existence of the header and annihilator don't matter since it's not relevant to the call:
> For a call to the parent function, dependencies between memory references from before or after the call and from those during the call are “irrelevant” to the noalias keyword for the arguments and return value used in that call.
@graydon's tracing garbage collector stores the metadata outside of the boxes, so that won't be a problem. I'm unsure if updating the header while inside a function where it's marked as `noalias` would be a problem anyway since you never actually read or write to the header.
@nikomatsakis: r?
* Add a short section and an example illustrating the use of ARC.
* Header for the section of Future changed to be more descriptive: "Backgrounding computations: Futures".
Apple Clang uses different version numbering than "regular" clang, but
it also provides the "regular" version it's based on. Update the sed
pattern to pull out this "regular" version number instead of the Apple
version number.
There were several old `#[doc(hidden)]` attributes in libstd and
libextra, left over from when rustdoc didn't hide private
definitions, tagged with `FIXME #3538`.
Since #3538 is now closed, I removed the `#[doc(hidden)]` attributes
as well as the FIXMEs, but I left `#[doc(hidden)]` in
libstd/task/spawn.rs and libstd/task/rt.rs since those two are
apparently `pub`, as well as in libextra/std.rc since std/extra is
`pub`.
