#[doc(primitive = "bool")]
//
/// The boolean type.
///
mod prim_bool { }
#[doc(primitive = "char")]
//
/// A character type.
///
/// The `char` type represents a single character. More specifically, since
/// 'character' isn't a well-defined concept in Unicode, `char` is a '[Unicode
/// scalar value]', which is similar to, but not the same as, a '[Unicode code
/// point]'.
///
/// [Unicode scalar value]: http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#unicode_scalar_value
/// [Unicode code point]: http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#code_point
///
/// This documentation describes a number of methods and trait implementations on the
/// `char` type. For technical reasons, there is additional, separate
/// documentation in [the `std::char` module](char/index.html) as well.
///
/// # Representation
///
/// `char` is always four bytes in size. This is a different representation than
/// a given character would have as part of a [`String`], for example:
///
/// ```
/// let v = vec!['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'];
///
/// // five elements times four bytes for each element
/// assert_eq!(20, v.len() * std::mem::size_of::<char>());
///
/// let s = String::from("hello");
///
/// // five elements times one byte per element
/// assert_eq!(5, s.len() * std::mem::size_of::<u8>());
/// ```
///
/// [`String`]: string/struct.String.html
///
/// As always, remember that a human intuition for 'character' may not map to
/// Unicode's definitions. For example, emoji symbols such as '❤️' are more than
/// one byte; ❤️ in particular is six:
///
/// ```
/// let s = String::from("❤️");
///
/// // six bytes times one byte for each element
/// assert_eq!(6, s.len() * std::mem::size_of::<u8>());
/// ```
///
/// This also means it won't fit into a `char`, and so trying to create a
/// literal with `let heart = '❤️';` gives an error:
///
/// ```text
/// error: character literal may only contain one codepoint: '❤
/// let heart = '❤️';
/// ^~
/// ```
///
/// Another implication of this is that if you want to do per-`char`acter
/// processing, it can end up using a lot more memory:
///
/// ```
/// let s = String::from("love: ❤️");
/// let v: Vec<char> = s.chars().collect();
///
/// assert_eq!(12, s.len() * std::mem::size_of::<u8>());
/// assert_eq!(32, v.len() * std::mem::size_of::<char>());
/// ```
///
/// Or may give you results you may not expect:
///
/// ```
/// let s = String::from("❤️");
///
/// let mut iter = s.chars();
///
/// // we get two chars out of a single ❤️
/// assert_eq!(Some('\u{2764}'), iter.next());
/// assert_eq!(Some('\u{fe0f}'), iter.next());
/// assert_eq!(None, iter.next());
/// ```

#[doc(primitive = "unit")]
//
/// The `()` type, sometimes called "unit" or "nil".
///
/// The `()` type has exactly one value `()`, and is used when there
/// is no other meaningful value that could be returned. `()` is most
/// commonly seen implicitly: functions without a `-> ...` implicitly
/// have return type `()`, that is, these are equivalent:
///
/// ```rust
/// fn long() -> () {}
///
/// fn short() {}
/// ```
///
/// The semicolon `;` can be used to discard the result of an
/// expression at the end of a block, making the expression (and thus
/// the block) evaluate to `()`. For example,
///
/// ```rust
/// fn returns_i64() -> i64 {
/// 1i64
/// }
/// fn returns_unit() {
/// 1i64;
/// }
///
/// let is_i64 = {
/// returns_i64()
/// };
/// let is_unit = {
/// returns_i64();
/// };
/// ```

#[doc(primitive = "pointer")]
//
/// Raw, unsafe pointers, `*const T`, and `*mut T`.
///
/// Working with raw pointers in Rust is uncommon,
/// typically limited to a few patterns.
///
/// Use the `null` function to create null pointers, and the `is_null` method
/// of the `*const T` type to check for null. The `*const T` type also defines
/// the `offset` method, for pointer math.
///
/// # Common ways to create raw pointers
///
/// ## 1. Coerce a reference (`&T`) or mutable reference (`&mut T`).
///
/// ```
/// let my_num: i32 = 10;
/// let my_num_ptr: *const i32 = &my_num;
/// let mut my_speed: i32 = 88;
/// let my_speed_ptr: *mut i32 = &mut my_speed;
/// ```
///
/// To get a pointer to a boxed value, dereference the box:
///
/// ```
/// let my_num: Box<i32> = Box::new(10);
/// let my_num_ptr: *const i32 = &*my_num;
/// let mut my_speed: Box<i32> = Box::new(88);
/// let my_speed_ptr: *mut i32 = &mut *my_speed;
/// ```
///
/// This does not take ownership of the original allocation
/// and requires no resource management later,
/// but you must not use the pointer after its lifetime.
///
/// ## 2. Consume a box (`Box<T>`).
///
/// The `into_raw` function consumes a box and returns
/// the raw pointer. It doesn't destroy `T` or deallocate any memory.
///
/// ```
/// let my_speed: Box<i32> = Box::new(88);
/// let my_speed: *mut i32 = Box::into_raw(my_speed);
///
/// // By taking ownership of the original `Box<T>` though
/// // we are obligated to put it together later to be destroyed.
/// unsafe {
/// drop(Box::from_raw(my_speed));
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Note that here the call to `drop` is for clarity - it indicates
/// that we are done with the given value and it should be destroyed.
///
/// ## 3. Get it from C.
///
/// ```
/// # #![feature(libc)]
/// extern crate libc;
///
/// use std::mem;
///
/// fn main() {
/// unsafe {
/// let my_num: *mut i32 = libc::malloc(mem::size_of::<i32>() as libc::size_t) as *mut i32;
/// if my_num.is_null() {
/// panic!("failed to allocate memory");
/// }
/// libc::free(my_num as *mut libc::c_void);
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Usually you wouldn't literally use `malloc` and `free` from Rust,
/// but C APIs hand out a lot of pointers generally, so are a common source
/// of raw pointers in Rust.
///
/// *[See also the `std::ptr` module](ptr/index.html).*
///
mod prim_pointer { }
#[doc(primitive = "array")]
//
/// A fixed-size array, denoted `[T; N]`, for the element type, `T`, and the
/// non-negative compile time constant size, `N`.
///
/// Arrays values are created either with an explicit expression that lists
/// each element: `[x, y, z]` or a repeat expression: `[x; N]`. The repeat
/// expression requires that the element type is `Copy`.
///
/// The type `[T; N]` is `Copy` if `T: Copy`.
///
/// Arrays of sizes from 0 to 32 (inclusive) implement the following traits if
/// the element type allows it:
///
/// - `Clone` (only if `T: Copy`)
/// - `Debug`
/// - `IntoIterator` (implemented for `&[T; N]` and `&mut [T; N]`)
/// - `PartialEq`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, `Eq`
/// - `Hash`
/// - `AsRef`, `AsMut`
/// - `Borrow`, `BorrowMut`
/// - `Default`
///
/// Arrays coerce to [slices (`[T]`)][slice], so their methods can be called on
/// arrays.
///
/// [slice]: primitive.slice.html
///
/// Rust does not currently support generics over the size of an array type.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// let mut array: [i32; 3] = [0; 3];
///
/// array[1] = 1;
/// array[2] = 2;
///
/// assert_eq!([1, 2], &array[1..]);

/// // This loop prints: 0 1 2
/// for x in &array {
/// print!("{} ", x);
/// }
///
/// ```

///
/// Slices are either mutable or shared. The shared slice type is `&[T]`,

/// ```
/// let x = &mut [1, 2, 3];

/// Rust's `str` type is one of the core primitive types of the language. `&str`
/// is the borrowed string type. This type of string can only be created from
/// other strings, unless it is a `&'static str` (see below). It is not possible
/// to move out of borrowed strings because they are owned elsewhere.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Here's some code that uses a `&str`:
///
/// ```
/// let s = "Hello, world.";
/// ```
///
/// This `&str` is a `&'static str`, which is the type of string literals.
/// They're `'static` because literals are available for the entire lifetime of
/// the program.
///
/// You can get a non-`'static` `&str` by taking a slice of a `String`:
///
/// ```
/// let some_string = "Hello, world.".to_string();
/// let s = &some_string;
/// ```
///
/// # Representation
///
/// Rust's string type, `str`, is a sequence of Unicode scalar values encoded as
/// a stream of UTF-8 bytes. All [strings](../../reference.html#literals) are
/// guaranteed to be validly encoded UTF-8 sequences. Additionally, strings are
/// not null-terminated and can thus contain null bytes.
///
/// The actual representation of `str`s have direct mappings to slices: `&str`

/// Indexing starts from zero, so `0` returns first value, `1`

///
/// If every type inside a tuple implements one of the following
