The `~str` type is not long for this world as it will be superseded by the
soon-to-come DST changes for the language. The new type will be
`~Str`, and matching over the allocation will no longer be supported.
Matching on `&str` will continue to work, in both a pre and post DST world.
There is a broader revision (that does this across the board) pending
in #12675, but that is awaiting the arrival of more data (to decide
whether to keep OptVec alive by using a non-Vec internally).
For this code, the representation of lifetime lists needs to be the
same in both ScopeChain and in the ast and ty structures. So it
seemed cleanest to just use `vec_ng::Vec`, now that it has a cheaper
empty representation than the current `vec` code.
This is needed to make progress on #10296 as the default bounds will no longer
include Send. I believe that this was the originally intended syntax for procs,
and it just hasn't been necessary up until now.
Previously `ast::Arm` was always storing a single `ast::Expr` wrapped in an
`ast::Block` (for historical reasons, AIUI), so we might as just store
that expr directly.
Closes#3085.
Makes labelled loops hygiene by performing renaming of the labels
defined in e.g. `'x: loop { ... }` and then used in break and continue
statements within loop body so that they act hygienically when used with
macros.
Closes#12262.
These two containers are indeed collections, so their place is in
libcollections, not in libstd. There will always be a hash map as part of the
standard distribution of Rust, but by moving it out of the standard library it
makes libstd that much more portable to more platforms and environments.
This conveniently also removes the stuttering of 'std::hashmap::HashMap',
although 'collections::HashMap' is only one character shorter.
This patch adds a new keyword `crate` which is intended to replace mod
in the context of `extern mod` as part of the issue #9880. The patch
doesn't replace all `extern mod` cases since it is necessary to first
push a new snapshot 0.
The implementation could've been less invasive than this. However I
preferred to take this chance to split the `parse_item_foreign_mod`
method and pull the `extern crate` part out of there, hence the new
method `parse_item_foreign_crate`.

This is has been obsolete for quite a while now (including a release),
so removing the special handling seems fine. (The error message is quite
good still anyway.)
Fixes#9580.
