Remove pretty-expanded from failing tests

2015-04-09T00:21:34+00:00

This commit removes pretty-expanded from all tests that wind up calling panic! one way or another now that its internals are unstable.

Mass rename uint/int to usize/isize

Now that support has been removed, all lingering use cases are renamed.

rustdoc: Replace no-pretty-expanded with pretty-expanded

2015-03-23T21:40:26+00:00

Now that features must be declared expanded source often does not compile. This adds 'pretty-expanded' to a bunch of test cases that still work.

std: Return Result from RWLock/Mutex methods

2014-12-29T17:18:09+00:00

All of the current std::sync primitives have poisoning enable which means that when a task fails inside of a write-access lock then all future attempts to acquire the lock will fail. This strategy ensures that stale data whose invariants are possibly not upheld are never viewed by other tasks to help propagate unexpected panics (bugs in a program) among tasks. Currently there is no way to test whether a mutex or rwlock is poisoned. One method would be to duplicate all the methods with a sister foo_catch function, for example. This pattern is, however, against our [error guidelines][errors]. As a result, this commit exposes the fact that a task has failed internally through the return value of a `Result`. [errors]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0236-error-conventions.md#do-not-provide-both-result-and-fail-variants All methods now return a `LockResult` or a `TryLockResult` which communicates whether the lock was poisoned or not. In a `LockResult`, both the `Ok` and `Err` variants contains the `MutexGuard` that is being returned in order to allow access to the data if poisoning is not desired. This also means that the lock is *always* held upon returning from `.lock()`. A new type, `PoisonError`, was added with one method `into_guard` which can consume the assertion that a lock is poisoned to gain access to the underlying data. This is a breaking change because the signatures of these methods have changed, often incompatible ways. One major difference is that the `wait` methods on a condition variable now consume the guard and return it in as a `LockResult` to indicate whether the lock was poisoned while waiting. Most code can be updated by calling `.unwrap()` on the return value of `.lock()`. [breaking-change]

Revise std::thread API to join by default

2014-12-19T07:31:52+00:00

This commit is part of a series that introduces a `std::thread` API to replace `std::task`. In the new API, `spawn` returns a `JoinGuard`, which by default will join the spawned thread when dropped. It can also be used to join explicitly at any time, returning the thread's result. Alternatively, the spawned thread can be explicitly detached (so no join takes place). As part of this change, Rust processes now terminate when the main thread exits, even if other detached threads are still running, moving Rust closer to standard threading models. This new behavior may break code that was relying on the previously implicit join-all. In addition to the above, the new thread API also offers some built-in support for building blocking abstractions in user space; see the module doc for details. Closes #18000 [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]

Make most of std::rt private

2014-11-21T01:19:24+00:00

Previously, the entire runtime API surface was publicly exposed, but that is neither necessary nor desirable. This commit hides most of the module, using librustrt directly as needed. The arrangement will need to be revisited when rustrt is pulled into std. [breaking-change]

Rename fail! to panic!

2014-10-29T15:43:07+00:00

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/221 The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other circumlocutions. Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate out a section describing the "Err-producing" case. We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe. To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead. Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this will work on UNIX based systems: grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g' You can of course also do this by hand.

librustc: Forbid external crates, imports, and/or items from being

declared with the same name in the same scope. This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports: use foo::bar; use baz::bar; Change this code to the following: use baz::bar; Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by subsequent imports. For example: use foo::*; // including `bar` use baz::bar; Change this code to remove the glob: use foo::{boo, quux}; use baz::bar; Or qualify all uses of `bar`: use foo::{boo, quux}; use baz; ... baz::bar ... Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports `std` and doesn't disable the prelude. extern crate std; Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to explicitly import it; just remove such directives. The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged. This implements RFC #116. Closes #16464. [breaking-change]
