2014-08-27Implement generalized object and type parameter bounds (Fixes #16462)Niko Matsakis-2/+2
2014-08-24native: Implement clone/close_accept for unixAlex Crichton-0/+4
This commits implements {Tcp,Unix}Acceptor::{clone,close_accept} methods for unix. A windows implementation is coming in a later commit. The clone implementation is based on atomic reference counting (as with all other clones), and the close_accept implementation is based on selecting on a self-pipe which signals that a close has been seen.
2014-08-18libsyntax: Remove the `use foo = bar` syntax from the language in favorPatrick Walton-2/+2
of `use bar as foo`. Change all uses of `use foo = bar` to `use bar as foo`. Implements RFC #47. Closes #16461. [breaking-change]
2014-07-24libsyntax: Remove `~self` and `mut ~self` from the language.Patrick Walton-2/+2
This eliminates the last vestige of the `~` syntax. Instead of `~self`, write `self: Box<TypeOfSelf>`; instead of `mut ~self`, write `mut self: Box<TypeOfSelf>`, replacing `TypeOfSelf` with the self-type parameter as specified in the implementation. Closes #13885. [breaking-change]
2014-07-19librustc: Implement lifetime elision.Patrick Walton-1/+1
This implements RFC 39. Omitted lifetimes in return values will now be inferred to more useful defaults, and an error is reported if a lifetime in a return type is omitted and one of the two lifetime elision rules does not specify what it should be. This primarily breaks two uncommon code patterns. The first is this: unsafe fn get_foo_out_of_thin_air() -> &Foo { ... } This should be changed to: unsafe fn get_foo_out_of_thin_air() -> &'static Foo { ... } The second pattern that needs to be changed is this: enum MaybeBorrowed<'a> { Borrowed(&'a str), Owned(String), } fn foo() -> MaybeBorrowed { Owned(format!("hello world")) } Change code like this to: enum MaybeBorrowed<'a> { Borrowed(&'a str), Owned(String), } fn foo() -> MaybeBorrowed<'static> { Owned(format!("hello world")) } Closes #15552.

2014-07-13Stabilization for `owned` (now `boxed`) and `cell`Aaron Turon-1/+1
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.

2014-07-10io::process::Command: add fine-grained env builderAaron Turon-1/+1
This commit changes the `io::process::Command` API to provide fine-grained control over the environment: * The `env` method now inserts/updates a key/value pair. * The `env_remove` method removes a key from the environment. * The old `env` method, which sets the entire environment in one shot, is renamed to `env_set_all`. It can be used in conjunction with the finer-grained methods. This renaming is a breaking change. To support these new methods, the internal `env` representation for `Command` has been changed to an optional `HashMap` holding owned `CString`s (to support non-utf8 data). The `HashMap` is only materialized if the environment is updated. The implementation does not try hard to avoid allocation, since the cost of launching a process will dwarf any allocation cost. This patch also adds `PartialOrd`, `Eq`, and `Hash` implementations for `CString`. [breaking-change]
2014-07-02Rename recvfrom -> recv_from, sendto -> send_to.OGINO Masanori-2/+2
POSIX has recvfrom(2) and sendto(2), but their name seem not to be suitable with Rust. We already renamed getpeername(2) and getsockname(2), so I think it makes sense. Alternatively, `receive_from` would be fine. However, we have `.recv()` so I chose `recv_from`. Signed-off-by: OGINO Masanori <masanori.ogino@gmail.com>

2014-06-06std: Extract librustrt out of libstdAlex Crichton-0/+449
As part of the libstd facade efforts, this commit extracts the runtime interface out of the standard library into a standalone crate, librustrt. This crate will provide the following services: * Definition of the rtio interface * Definition of the Runtime interface * Implementation of the Task structure * Implementation of task-local-data * Implementation of task failure via unwinding via libunwind * Implementation of runtime initialization and shutdown * Implementation of thread-local-storage for the local rust Task Notably, this crate avoids the following services: * Thread creation and destruction. The crate does not require the knowledge of an OS threading system, and as a result it seemed best to leave out the `rt::thread` module from librustrt. The librustrt module does depend on mutexes, however. * Implementation of backtraces. There is no inherent requirement for the runtime to be able to generate backtraces. As will be discussed later, this functionality continues to live in libstd rather than librustrt. As usual, a number of architectural changes were required to make this crate possible. Users of "stable" functionality will not be impacted by this change, but users of the `std::rt` module will likely note the changes. A list of architectural changes made is: * The stdout/stderr handles no longer live directly inside of the `Task` structure. This is a consequence of librustrt not knowing about `std::io`. These two handles are now stored inside of task-local-data. The handles were originally stored inside of the `Task` for perf reasons, and TLD is not currently as fast as it could be. For comparison, 100k prints goes from 59ms to 68ms (a 15% slowdown). This appeared to me to be an acceptable perf loss for the successful extraction of a librustrt crate. * The `rtio` module was forced to duplicate more functionality of `std::io`. As the module no longer depends on `std::io`, `rtio` now defines structures such as socket addresses, addrinfo fiddly bits, etc. The primary change made was that `rtio` now defines its own `IoError` type. This type is distinct from `std::io::IoError` in that it does not have an enum for what error occurred, but rather a platform-specific error code. The native and green libraries will be updated in later commits for this change, and the bulk of this effort was put behind updating the two libraries for this change (with `rtio`). * Printing a message on task failure (along with the backtrace) continues to live in libstd, not in librustrt. This is a consequence of the above decision to move the stdout/stderr handles to TLD rather than inside the `Task` itself. The unwinding API now supports registration of global callback functions which will be invoked when a task fails, allowing for libstd to register a function to print a message and a backtrace. The API for registering a callback is experimental and unsafe, as the ramifications of running code on unwinding is pretty hairy. * The `std::unstable::mutex` module has moved to `std::rt::mutex`. * The `std::unstable::sync` module has been moved to `std::rt::exclusive` and the type has been rewritten to not internally have an Arc and to have an RAII guard structure when locking. Old code should stop using `Exclusive` in favor of the primitives in `libsync`, but if necessary, old code should port to `Arc<Exclusive<T>>`. * The local heap has been stripped down to have fewer debugging options. None of these were tested, and none of these have been used in a very long time. [breaking-change]
