2015-01-20std: Rename Show/String to Debug/DisplayAlex Crichton-4/+4
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 565][rfc] which is a stabilization of the `std::fmt` module and the implementations of various formatting traits. Specifically, the following changes were performed: [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0565-show-string-guidelines.md * The `Show` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Debug` * The `String` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Display` * Many `Debug` and `Display` implementations were audited in accordance with the RFC and audited implementations now have the `#[stable]` attribute * Integers and floats no longer print a suffix * Smart pointers no longer print details that they are a smart pointer * Paths with `Debug` are now quoted and escape characters * The `unwrap` methods on `Result` now require `Display` instead of `Debug` * The `Error` trait no longer has a `detail` method and now requires that `Display` must be implemented. With the loss of `String`, this has moved into libcore. * `impl<E: Error> FromError<E> for Box<Error>` now exists * `derive(Show)` has been renamed to `derive(Debug)`. This is not currently warned about due to warnings being emitted on stage1+ While backwards compatibility is attempted to be maintained with a blanket implementation of `Display` for the old `String` trait (and the same for `Show`/`Debug`) this is still a breaking change due to primitives no longer implementing `String` as well as modifications such as `unwrap` and the `Error` trait. Most code is fairly straightforward to update with a rename or tweaks of method calls. [breaking-change] Closes #21436
2015-01-18std: Stabilize TypeId and tweak BoxAnyAlex Crichton-9/+45
This commit aims to stabilize the `TypeId` abstraction by moving it out of the `intrinsics` module into the `any` module of the standard library. Specifically, * `TypeId` is now defined at `std::any::TypeId` * `TypeId::hash` has been removed in favor of an implementation of `Hash`. This commit also performs a final pass over the `any` module, confirming the following: * `Any::get_type_id` remains unstable as *usage* of the `Any` trait will likely never require this, and the `Any` trait does not need to be implemented for any other types. As a result, this implementation detail can remain unstable until associated statics are implemented. * `Any::downcast_ref` is now stable * `Any::downcast_mut` is now stable * `BoxAny` remains unstable. While a direct impl on `Box<Any>` is allowed today it does not allow downcasting of trait objects like `Box<Any + Send>` (those returned from `Thread::join`). This is covered by #18737. * `BoxAny::downcast` is now stable.
2015-01-08Improvements to feature stagingBrian Anderson-1/+1
This gets rid of the 'experimental' level, removes the non-staged_api case (i.e. stability levels for out-of-tree crates), and lets the staged_api attributes use 'unstable' and 'deprecated' lints. This makes the transition period to the full feature staging design a bit nicer.

2015-01-06core: split into fmt::Show and fmt::StringSean McArthur-1/+1
fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still exists #[derive(Show)]. fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String. Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format syntax, `{}`. This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this. Part of #20013 [breaking-change]

2014-12-05Utilize fewer reexportsCorey Farwell-1/+2
In regards to: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19253#issuecomment-64836729 This commit: * Changes the #deriving code so that it generates code that utilizes fewer reexports (in particur Option::* and Result::*), which is necessary to remove those reexports in the future * Changes other areas of the codebase so that fewer reexports are utilized
2014-11-24auto merge of #19223 : reem/rust/any-typeid-unstable, r=aturonbors-1/+1
It is likely going to be removed and replaced with an associated static.
2014-11-22Any: use plain transmute instead of transmute_copy for downcasting.Jonathan Reem-3/+3
transmute_copy is no longer needed and is just slow.
2014-11-22Mark Any::get_type_id as experimentalJonathan Reem-1/+1
It is likely going to be removed and replaced with an associated static. Fixes #19222
2014-11-14libs: fix #[stable] inheritance falloutAaron Turon-3/+1
A recent change turned off inheritance for the #[stable] by default, but failed to catch all the cases where this was being used in std. This patch fixes that problem.
2014-10-19Remove a large amount of deprecated functionalityAlex Crichton-19/+0
Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that only old deprecated functionality was removed. This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how to migrate code forward if it still needs migration. [breaking-change]
2014-10-06Remove core::any::AnyPrivateAaron Turon-7/+2
[Previously](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/e5da6a71a6a0b46dd3630fc8326e6d5906a1fde6), the `Any` trait was split into a private portion and an (empty) public portion, in order to hide the implementation strategy used for downcasting. However, the [new rules](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/e9ad12c0cae5c43ada6641c7dc840a0fbe5010a2) for privacy forbid `AnyPrivate` from actually being private. This patch thus reverts the introduction of `AnyPrivate`. Although this is unlikely to break any real code, it removes a public trait and is therefore a: [breaking-change]
2014-09-30Bound Any with 'staticJonathan Reem-3/+3
This bound is already implicit through the AnyPrivate trait, but since it is not explicit, you still have to write Box<Any + 'static>, even though Any can only be 'static. Introducing the 'static bound here makes this bound explicit, making Box<Any> legal.
2014-09-22librustc: Forbid private types in public APIs.Patrick Walton-1/+1
This breaks code like: struct Foo { ... } pub fn make_foo() -> Foo { ... } Change this code to: pub struct Foo { // note `pub` ... } pub fn make_foo() -> Foo { ... } The `visible_private_types` lint has been removed, since it is now an error to attempt to expose a private type in a public API. In its place a `#[feature(visible_private_types)]` gate has been added. Closes #16463. RFC #48. [breaking-change]

2014-07-26std: Stabilize unit, bool, ty, tuple, arc, anyAlex Crichton-14/+48
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]
2014-07-25librustc: Check built-in trait bounds on implementations when directPatrick Walton-1/+1
method calls are involved. This breaks code like: impl<T:Copy> Foo for T { ... } fn take_param<T:Foo>(foo: &T) { ... } fn main() { let x = box 3i; // note no `Copy` bound take_param(&x); } Change this code to not contain a type error. For example: impl<T:Copy> Foo for T { ... } fn take_param<T:Foo>(foo: &T) { ... } fn main() { let x = 3i; // satisfies `Copy` bound take_param(&x); } Closes #15860. [breaking-change]

2014-06-29Extract tests from libcore to a separate crateSteven Fackler-176/+0
Libcore's test infrastructure is complicated by the fact that many lang items are defined in the crate. The current approach (realcore/realstd imports) is hacky and hard to work with (tests inside of core::cmp haven't been run for months!). Moving tests to a separate crate does mean that they can only test the public API of libcore, but I don't feel that that is too much of an issue. The only tests that I had to get rid of were some checking the various numeric formatters, but those are also exercised through normal format! calls in other tests.
2014-06-24librustc: Remove cross borrowing from mutable `Box`es to `&mut`.Patrick Walton-1/+1
This will break code like: fn f(x: &mut int) {} let mut a = box 1i; f(a); Change it to: fn f(x: &mut int) {} let mut a = box 1i; f(&mut *a); RFC 33; issue #10504. [breaking-change]
2014-06-24librustc: Remove the fallback to `int` from typechecking.Niko Matsakis-1/+2
This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are: * `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`; * `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`; * `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`. RFC #30. Closes #6023. [breaking-change]
2014-06-13rustc: [T, ..N] and [T, ..N+1] are not the sameAlex Crichton-0/+8
This commit fixes a bug in the calculation of the hash of a type which didn't factor in the length of a constant-sized vector. As a result of this, a type placed into an Any of a fixed length could be peeled out with any other fixed length in a safe manner.
2014-06-13Clarify `Any` docsP1start-4/+6
The `Any` docs previously did not state that only `'static` types implement it.
2014-05-30std: Rename {Eq,Ord} to Partial{Eq,Ord}Alex Crichton-1/+1
This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord} or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}. cc #12517 [breaking-change]
2014-05-29std: Recreate a `rand` moduleAlex Crichton-1/+1
This commit shuffles around some of the `rand` code, along with some reorganization. The new state of the world is as follows: * The librand crate now only depends on libcore. This interface is experimental. * The standard library has a new module, `std::rand`. This interface will eventually become stable. Unfortunately, this entailed more of a breaking change than just shuffling some names around. The following breaking changes were made to the rand library: * Rng::gen_vec() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_iter() which will return an infinite stream of random values. Previous behavior can be regained with `rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()` * Rng::gen_ascii_str() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_ascii_chars() which will return an infinite stream of random ascii characters. Similarly to gen_iter(), previous behavior can be emulated with `rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()` * {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs. * Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for librand to not depend on liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not supported. If this is undesirable, librand can depend on liballoc and regain these implementations. * The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`, but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice structure now has a lifetime associated with it. * The `sample` method on `Rng` has been moved to a top-level function in the `rand` module due to its dependence on `Vec`. cc #13851 [breaking-change]

2014-05-13std: Move the owned module from core to stdAlex Crichton-31/+3
The compiler was updated to recognize that implementations for ty_uniq(..) are allowed if the Box lang item is located in the current crate. This enforces the idea that libcore cannot allocated, and moves all related trait implementations from libcore to libstd. This is a breaking change in that the AnyOwnExt trait has moved from the any module to the owned module. Any previous users of std::any::AnyOwnExt should now use std::owned::AnyOwnExt instead. This was done because the trait is intended for Box traits and only Box traits. [breaking-change]
2014-05-11core: Remove the cast moduleAlex Crichton-1/+1
This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely, folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate of each function in the `cast` module. * transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as #[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute` function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment). For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898 * transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This function is now #[stable] * forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable] * bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of managed boxes as well as its questionable utility. * transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part of this commit. * transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was removed. * transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong indication that code is incorrect in the first place. * transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as `transmute_lifetime` * copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked `#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in the future if it is found to not be very useful. * copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same treatment as `copy_lifetime`. * copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today, and its existence is not necessary with DST (copy_lifetime will suffice). In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the functions were moved to the `mem` module. transmute - #[unstable] transmute_copy - #[stable] forget - #[stable] copy_lifetime - #[unstable] copy_mut_lifetime - #[unstable] [breaking-change]

2014-05-07core: Get coretest workingAlex Crichton-3/+11
This mostly involved frobbing imports between realstd, realcore, and the core being test. Some of the imports are a little counterintuitive, but it mainly focuses around libcore's types not implementing Show while libstd's types implement Show.
