For now, words() is left in (but deprecated), and Words is a type alias for
struct SplitWhitespace.
Also cleaned up references to s.words() throughout codebase.
Closes#15628
This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

When linking an archive statically to an rlib, the compiler will extract all
contents of the archive and add them all to the rlib being generated. The
current method of extraction is to run `ar x`, dumping all files into a
temporary directory. Object archives, however, are allowed to have multiple
entries with the same file name, so there is no method for them to extract their
contents into a directory in a lossless fashion.
This commit adds iterator support to the `ArchiveRO` structure which hooks into
LLVM's support for reading object archives. This iterator is then used to
inspect each object in turn and extract it to a unique location for later
assembly.
On Windows, when you create a symbolic link you must specify whether it
points to a directory or a file, even if it is created dangling, while
on Unix, the same symbolic link could point to a directory, a file, or
nothing at all. Furthermore, on Windows special privilege is necessary
to use a symbolic link, while on Unix, you can generally create a
symbolic link in any directory you have write privileges to.
This means that it is unlikely to be able to use symbolic links purely
portably; anyone who uses them will need to think about the cross
platform implications. This means that using platform-specific APIs
will make it easier to see where code will need to differ between the
platforms, rather than trying to provide some kind of compatibility
wrapper.
Furthermore, `soft_link` has no precedence in any other API, so to avoid
confusion, move back to the more standard `symlink` terminology.
Create a `std::os::unix::symlink` for the Unix version that is
destination type agnostic, as well as `std::os::windows::{symlink_file,
symlink_dir}` for Windows.
Because this is a stable API, leave a compatibility wrapper in
`std::fs::soft_link`, which calls `symlink` on Unix and `symlink_file`
on Windows, preserving the existing behavior of `soft_link`.
Note: this Warns rather than error on shadowing problems involving labels.
We took this more conservative option mostly due to issues with
hygiene being broken for labels and/or lifetimes.
Add FIXME regarding non-hygienic comparison.
This patch adds a `Debug` impl for `std::fs::File`.
On all platforms (Unix and Windows) it shows the file descriptor.
On Linux, it displays the path and access mode as well.
Ideally we should show the path/mode for all platforms, not just Linux,
but this will do for now.

PR #24242 added the ability to the compiler to directly give suggestions about
how to modify code to fix an error. The new errors look like this:
foobar.rs:5:12: 5:25 error: expected a path on the left-hand side of `+`,
not `&'static Copy` [E0178]
foobar.rs:5 let x: &'static Copy + 'static;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
foobar.rs:5:12: 5:35 help: try adding parentheses (per RFC 438):
foobar.rs: let x: &'static (Copy + 'static);
foobar.rs:2:13: 2:23 error: cast to unsized type: `&_` as `core::marker::Copy`
foobar.rs:2 let x = &1 as Copy;
^~~~~~~~~~
foobar.rs:2:19: 2:23 help: try casting to a reference instead:
foobar.rs: let x = &1 as &Copy;
foobar.rs:7:24: 7:25 error: expected expression, found `;`
foobar.rs:7 let x = box (1 + 1);
^
foobar.rs:7:13: 7:16 help: try using `box()` instead:
foobar.rs: let x = box() (1 + 1);
This also modifies compiletest to give the ability to directly test suggestions
given by error messages.
