std: Second pass stabilization for `comm`

2014-12-29T20:16:49+00:00

This commit is a second pass stabilization for the `std::comm` module, performing the following actions: * The entire `std::comm` module was moved under `std::sync::mpsc`. This movement reflects that channels are just yet another synchronization primitive, and they don't necessarily deserve a special place outside of the other concurrency primitives that the standard library offers. * The `send` and `recv` methods have all been removed. * The `send_opt` and `recv_opt` methods have been renamed to `send` and `recv`. This means that all send/receive operations return a `Result` now indicating whether the operation was successful or not. * The error type of `send` is now a `SendError` to implement a custom error message and allow for `unwrap()`. The error type contains an `into_inner` method to extract the value. * The error type of `recv` is now `RecvError` for the same reasons as `send`. * The `TryRecvError` and `TrySendError` types have had public reexports removed of their variants and the variant names have been tweaked with enum namespacing rules. * The `Messages` iterator is renamed to `Iter` This functionality is now all `#[stable]`: * `Sender` * `SyncSender` * `Receiver` * `std::sync::mpsc` * `channel` * `sync_channel` * `Iter` * `Sender::send` * `Sender::clone` * `SyncSender::send` * `SyncSender::try_send` * `SyncSender::clone` * `Receiver::recv` * `Receiver::try_recv` * `Receiver::iter` * `SendError` * `RecvError` * `TrySendError::{mod, Full, Disconnected}` * `TryRecvError::{mod, Empty, Disconnected}` * `SendError::into_inner` * `TrySendError::into_inner` This is a breaking change due to the modification of where this module is located, as well as the changing of the semantics of `send` and `recv`. Most programs just need to rename imports of `std::comm` to `std::sync::mpsc` and add calls to `unwrap` after a send or a receive operation. [breaking-change]

libs: merge librustrt into libstd

2014-12-19T07:31:34+00:00

This commit merges the `rustrt` crate into `std`, undoing part of the facade. This merger continues the paring down of the runtime system. Code relying on the public API of `rustrt` will break; some of this API is now available through `std::rt`, but is likely to change and/or be removed very soon. [breaking-change]

Fall out of the std::sync rewrite

Merge libsync into libstd

2014-11-24T18:51:39+00:00

This patch merges the `libsync` crate into `libstd`, undoing part of the facade. This is in preparation for ultimately merging `librustrt`, as well as the upcoming rewrite of `sync`. Because this removes the `libsync` crate, it is a: [breaking-change] However, all uses of `libsync` should be able to reroute through `std::sync` and `std::comm` instead.

sync: Move underneath libstd

2014-06-11T17:00:43+00:00

This commit is the final step in the libstd facade, #13851. The purpose of this commit is to move libsync underneath the standard library, behind the facade. This will allow core primitives like channels, queues, and atomics to all live in the same location. There were a few notable changes and a few breaking changes as part of this movement: * The `Vec` and `String` types are reexported at the top level of libcollections * The `unreachable!()` macro was copied to libcore * The `std::rt::thread` module was moved to librustrt, but it is still reexported at the same location. * The `std::comm` module was moved to libsync * The `sync::comm` module was moved under `sync::comm`, and renamed to `duplex`. It is now a private module with types/functions being reexported under `sync::comm`. This is a breaking change for any existing users of duplex streams. * All concurrent queues/deques were moved directly under libsync. They are also all marked with #![experimental] for now if they are public. * The `task_pool` and `future` modules no longer live in libsync, but rather live under `std::sync`. They will forever live at this location, but they may move to libsync if the `std::task` module moves as well. [breaking-change]

Fixes problems on systems with opaque mutex

2014-05-24T05:01:23+00:00

On some systems (iOS for example) mutex is represented by opaque data structure which doesn't play well with simple data copy. Therefore mutex should be initialized from magic static value and filled by OS only when it landed RC.

librustc: Remove `~EXPR`, `~TYPE`, and `~PAT` from the language, except

for `~str`/`~[]`. Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for `Box` before the snapshot. How to update your code: * Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`. * Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box`. * Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`. [breaking-change]
