2014-08-04stabilize atomics (now atomic)Aaron Turon-692/+0
This commit stabilizes the `std::sync::atomics` module, renaming it to `std::sync::atomic` to match library precedent elsewhere, and tightening up behavior around incorrect memory ordering annotations. The vast majority of the module is now `stable`. However, the `AtomicOption` type has been deprecated, since it is essentially unused and is not truly a primitive atomic type. It will eventually be replaced by a higher-level abstraction like MVars. Due to deprecations, this is a: [breaking-change]
2014-07-26std: Stabilize unit, bool, ty, tuple, arc, anyAlex Crichton-18/+15
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]
2014-07-10Mistake in AtomicBool spinlock exampleMathijs van de Nes-1/+1
The current example of a spinlock was not correct. The lock is actually acquired when old == result. So we only need to deschedule when this is not the case.
2014-06-29Extract tests from libcore to a separate crateSteven Fackler-94/+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.

2014-06-11sync: Move underneath libstdAlex Crichton-7/+5
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]
