2015-01-30std: Stabilize the std::fmt moduleAlex Crichton-86/+0
This commit performs a final stabilization pass over the std::fmt module, marking all necessary APIs as stable. One of the more interesting aspects of this module is that it exposes a good deal of its runtime representation to the outside world in order for `format_args!` to be able to construct the format strings. Instead of hacking the compiler to assume that these items are stable, this commit instead lays out a story for the stabilization and evolution of these APIs. There are three primary details used by the `format_args!` macro: 1. `Arguments` - an opaque package of a "compiled format string". This structure is passed around and the `write` function is the source of truth for transforming a compiled format string into a string at runtime. This must be able to be constructed in stable code. 2. `Argument` - an opaque structure representing an argument to a format string. This is *almost* a trait object as it's just a pointer/function pair, but due to the function originating from one of many traits, it's not actually a trait object. Like `Arguments`, this must be constructed from stable code. 3. `fmt::rt` - this module contains the runtime type definitions primarily for the `rt::Argument` structure. Whenever an argument is formatted with nonstandard flags, a corresponding `rt::Argument` is generated describing how the argument is being formatted. This can be used to construct an `Arguments`. The primary interface to `std::fmt` is the `Arguments` structure, and as such this type name is stabilize as-is today. It is expected for libraries to pass around an `Arguments` structure to represent a pending formatted computation. The remaining portions are largely "cruft" which would rather not be stabilized, but due to the stability checks they must be. As a result, almost all pieces have been renamed to represent that they are "version 1" of the formatting representation. The theory is that at a later date if we change the representation of these types we can add new definitions called "version 2" and corresponding constructors for `Arguments`. One of the other remaining large questions about the fmt module were how the pending I/O reform would affect the signatures of methods in the module. Due to [RFC 526][rfc], however, the writers of fmt are now incompatible with the writers of io, so this question has largely been solved. As a result the interfaces are largely stabilized as-is today. [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0526-fmt-text-writer.md Specifically, the following changes were made: * The contents of `fmt::rt` were all moved under `fmt::rt::v1` * `fmt::rt` is stable * `fmt::rt::v1` is stable * `Error` is stable * `Writer` is stable * `Writer::write_str` is stable * `Writer::write_fmt` is stable * `Formatter` is stable * `Argument` has been renamed to `ArgumentV1` and is stable * `ArgumentV1::new` is stable * `ArgumentV1::from_uint` is stable * `Arguments::new_v1` is stable (renamed from `new`) * `Arguments::new_v1_formatted` is stable (renamed from `with_placeholders`) * All formatting traits are now stable, as well as the `fmt` method. * `fmt::write` is stable * `fmt::format` is stable * `Formatter::pad_integral` is stable * `Formatter::pad` is stable * `Formatter::write_str` is stable * `Formatter::write_fmt` is stable * Some assorted top level items which were only used by `format_args!` were removed in favor of static functions on `ArgumentV1` as well. * The formatting-flag-accessing methods remain unstable Within the contents of the `fmt::rt::v1` module, the following actions were taken: * Reexports of all enum variants were removed * All prefixes on enum variants were removed * A few miscellaneous enum variants were renamed * Otherwise all structs, fields, and variants were marked stable. In addition to these actions in the `std::fmt` module, many implementations of `Show` and `String` were stabilized as well. In some other modules: * `ToString` is now stable * `ToString::to_string` is now stable * `Vec` no longer implements `fmt::Writer` (this has moved to `String`) This is a breaking change due to all of the changes to the `fmt::rt` module, but this likely will not have much impact on existing programs. Closes #20661 [breaking-change]

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.

2014-12-19libcore: use `#[deriving(Copy)]`Jorge Aparicio-14/+6
2014-12-08librustc: Make `Copy` opt-in.Niko Matsakis-0/+13
This change makes the compiler no longer infer whether types (structures and enumerations) implement the `Copy` trait (and thus are implicitly copyable). Rather, you must implement `Copy` yourself via `impl Copy for MyType {}`. A new warning has been added, `missing_copy_implementations`, to warn you if a non-generic public type has been added that could have implemented `Copy` but didn't. For convenience, you may *temporarily* opt out of this behavior by using `#![feature(opt_out_copy)]`. Note though that this feature gate will never be accepted and will be removed by the time that 1.0 is released, so you should transition your code away from using it. This breaks code like: #[deriving(Show)] struct Point2D { x: int, y: int, } fn main() { let mypoint = Point2D { x: 1, y: 1, }; let otherpoint = mypoint; println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint); } Change this code to: #[deriving(Show)] struct Point2D { x: int, y: int, } impl Copy for Point2D {} fn main() { let mypoint = Point2D { x: 1, y: 1, }; let otherpoint = mypoint; println!("{}{}", mypoint, otherpoint); } This is the backwards-incompatible part of #13231. Part of RFC #3. [breaking-change]
2014-11-18std: Stabilize std::fmtAlex Crichton-0/+2
This commit applies the stabilization of std::fmt as outlined in [RFC 380][rfc]. There are a number of breaking changes as a part of this commit which will need to be handled to migrated old code: * A number of formatting traits have been removed: String, Bool, Char, Unsigned, Signed, and Float. It is recommended to instead use Show wherever possible or to use adaptor structs to implement other methods of formatting. * The format specifier for Boolean has changed from `t` to `b`. * The enum `FormatError` has been renamed to `Error` as well as becoming a unit struct instead of an enum. The `WriteError` variant no longer exists. * The `format_args_method!` macro has been removed with no replacement. Alter code to use the `format_args!` macro instead. * The public fields of a `Formatter` have become read-only with no replacement. Use a new formatting string to alter the formatting flags in combination with the `write!` macro. The fields can be accessed through accessor methods on the `Formatter` structure. Other than these breaking changes, the contents of std::fmt should now also all contain stability markers. Most of them are still #[unstable] or #[experimental] [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0380-stabilize-std-fmt.md [breaking-change] Closes #18904
2014-11-17Switch to purely namespaced enumsSteven Fackler-0/+5
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to refer to the new locations: ``` pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = A; } ``` => ``` pub use self::Foo::{A, B}; pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = A; } ``` or ``` pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = Foo::A; } ``` [breaking-change]

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]
2014-05-15core: Inherit the std::fmt moduleAlex Crichton-0/+91
This commit moves all possible functionality from the standard library's string formatting utilities into the core library. This is a breaking change, due to a few tweaks in the semantics of formatting: 1. In order to break the dependency on the std::io module, a new trait, FormatWriter was introduced in core::fmt. This is the trait which is used (instead of Writer) to format data into a stream. 2. The new FormatWriter trait has one method, write(), which takes some bytes and can return an error, but the error contains very little information. The intent for this trait is for an adaptor writer to be used around the standard library's Writer trait. 3. The fmt::write{,ln,_unsafe} methods no longer take &mut io::Writer, but rather &mut FormatWriter. Since this trait is less common, all functions were removed except fmt::write, and it is not intended to be invoked directly. The main API-breaking change here is that the fmt::Formatter structure will no longer expose its `buf` field. All previous code writing directly to `f.buf` using writer methods or the `write!` macro will now instead use `f` directly. The Formatter object itself implements the `Writer` trait itself for convenience, although it does not implement the `FormatWriter` trait. The fallout of these changes will be in the following commits. [breaking-change]
