As I said before, I also did some minor cleanup and reorganization while revamping the foreign code. I ought to have separately that into its own commit and also separate out the conversion of |

Great work and great documentation, as always. |

Doing some work here on #2064 (returning structs from C functions on x86) and it seems like on your branch it works as expected. Did you fix that purposefully (I didn't see a test)? If so, thanks. |

Oh I see |
adjusting a few foreign functions that were declared with by-ref mode. This also allows us to remove by-val mode in the near future. With copy mode, though, we have to be careful because Rust will implicitly pass somethings by pointer but this may not be the C ABI rules. For example, rust will pass a struct Foo as a Foo*. So I added some code into the adapters to fix this (though the C ABI rules may put the pointer back, oh well). This patch also includes a lint mode for the use of by-ref mode in foreign functions as the semantics of this have changed.
and obsolete `-` mode altogether (it *was* parsed as `+` mode).

This is done in two steps: First, we make foreign functions not consider modes at all. This is because previously ++ mode was the only way to pass structs to foreign functions and so forth. We also add a lint mode warning if you use `&&` mode in a foreign function, since the semantics of that change (it used to pass a pointer to the C function, now it doesn't). Then, we remove by value and make it equivalent to `+` mode. At the same time, we stop parsing `-` mode and convert all uses of it to `+` mode (it was already being parsed to `+` mode anyhow). This obsoletes pull request #5298. r? @brson
