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.
