2014-07-26std: Stabilize unit, bool, ty, tuple, arc, anyAlex Crichton-1/+4
This commit applies stability attributes to the contents of these modules, summarized here: * The `unit` and `bool` modules have become #[unstable] as they are purely meant for documentation purposes and are candidates for removal. * The `ty` module has been deprecated, and the inner `Unsafe` type has been renamed to `UnsafeCell` and moved to the `cell` module. The `marker1` field has been removed as the compiler now always infers `UnsafeCell` to be invariant. The `new` method i stable, but the `value` field, `get` and `unwrap` methods are all unstable. * The `tuple` module has its name as stable, the naming of the `TupleN` traits as stable while the methods are all #[unstable]. The other impls in the module have appropriate stability for the corresponding trait. * The `arc` module has received the exact same treatment as the `rc` module previously did. * The `any` module has its name as stable. The `Any` trait is also stable, with a new private supertrait which now contains the `get_type_id` method. This is to make the method a private implementation detail rather than a public-facing detail. The two extension traits in the module are marked #[unstable] as they will not be necessary with DST. The `is` method is #[stable], the as_{mut,ref} methods have been renamed to downcast_{mut,ref} and are #[unstable]. The extension trait `BoxAny` has been clarified as to why it is unstable as it will not be necessary with DST. This is a breaking change because the `marker1` field was removed from the `UnsafeCell` type. To deal with this change, you can simply delete the field and only specify the value of the `data` field in static initializers. [breaking-change]
2014-07-17librustc: Remove cross-borrowing of `Box<T>` to `&T` from the language,Patrick Walton-2/+4
except where trait objects are involved. Part of issue #15349, though I'm leaving it open for trait objects. Cross borrowing for trait objects remains because it is needed until we have DST. This will break code like: fn foo(x: &int) { ... } let a = box 3i; foo(a); Change this code to: fn foo(x: &int) { ... } let a = box 3i; foo(&*a); [breaking-change]
2014-07-13Stabilization for `owned` (now `boxed`) and `cell`Aaron Turon-0/+180
This PR is the outcome of the library stabilization meeting for the `liballoc::owned` and `libcore::cell` modules. Aside from the stability attributes, there are a few breaking changes: * The `owned` modules is now named `boxed`, to better represent its contents. (`box` was unavailable, since it's a keyword.) This will help avoid the misconception that `Box` plays a special role wrt ownership. * The `AnyOwnExt` extension trait is renamed to `BoxAny`, and its `move` method is renamed to `downcast`, in both cases to improve clarity. * The recently-added `AnySendOwnExt` extension trait is removed; it was not being used and is unnecessary.
