standard library documentation links to nonexistant library

[steveklabnik]

The home page has a thread_local module, linking to http://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/thread_local/, which is a 404.

tagging with 'docs' until I figure out if this is a doc issue or a rustdoc bug.

Well, the module exists, is documented, and no #[doc(hidden)] anywhere... I think this is a peculiar rustdoc bug.

Curiously, the declaration of the module is the only top-level pub mod declaration in std that has #[macro_use] attached. Could be related.

@tomjakubowski could you point me to the module? I don't seem to be seeing it in the tree at first glance. I mean thread_local! exists, but I don't see a public thread_local module in std.

[tomjakubowski]

@daboross the module was moved around recently, it's the (hidden, but public) std::thread::__local module at src/libstd/thread/local.rs now.

The new module is #[doc(hidden)] now so rustdoc isn't generating links to it. There was an underlying rustdoc issue here, but evidence of it is now gone, like tears in rain. (unless you check out a tree from ~9ish days ago)
