2014-02-19rustdoc: Show macros in documentationAlex Crichton-1/+1
Any macro tagged with #[macro_export] will be showed in the documentation for that module. This also documents all the existing macros inside of std::macros. Closes #3163 cc #5605 Closes #9954
2014-02-14extern mod => extern crateAlex Crichton-6/+6
This was previously implemented, and it just needed a snapshot to go through
2014-02-11Move replace and swap to std::mem. Get rid of std::utilEdward Wang-1/+0
Also move Void to std::any, move drop to std::mem and reexport in prelude.
2014-02-07Delete send_str, rewrite clients on top of MaybeOwned<'static>Kevin Ballard-1/+0
Declare a `type SendStr = MaybeOwned<'static>` to ease readibility of types that needed the old SendStr behavior. Implement all the traits for MaybeOwned that SendStr used to implement.
2014-02-06Remove std::conditionAlex Crichton-3/+0
This has been a long time coming. Conditions in rust were initially envisioned as being a good alternative to error code return pattern. The idea is that all errors are fatal-by-default, and you can opt-in to handling the error by registering an error handler. While sounding nice, conditions ended up having some unforseen shortcomings: * Actually handling an error has some very awkward syntax: let mut result = None; let mut answer = None; io::io_error::cond.trap(|e| { result = Some(e) }).inside(|| { answer = Some(some_io_operation()); }); match result { Some(err) => { /* hit an I/O error */ } None => { let answer = answer.unwrap(); /* deal with the result of I/O */ } } This pattern can certainly use functions like io::result, but at its core actually handling conditions is fairly difficult * The "zero value" of a function is often confusing. One of the main ideas behind using conditions was to change the signature of I/O functions. Instead of read_be_u32() returning a result, it returned a u32. Errors were notified via a condition, and if you caught the condition you understood that the "zero value" returned is actually a garbage value. These zero values are often difficult to understand, however. One case of this is the read_bytes() function. The function takes an integer length of the amount of bytes to read, and returns an array of that size. The array may actually be shorter, however, if an error occurred. Another case is fs::stat(). The theoretical "zero value" is a blank stat struct, but it's a little awkward to create and return a zero'd out stat struct on a call to stat(). In general, the return value of functions that can raise error are much more natural when using a Result as opposed to an always-usable zero-value. * Conditions impose a necessary runtime requirement on *all* I/O. In theory I/O is as simple as calling read() and write(), but using conditions imposed the restriction that a rust local task was required if you wanted to catch errors with I/O. While certainly an surmountable difficulty, this was always a bit of a thorn in the side of conditions. * Functions raising conditions are not always clear that they are raising conditions. This suffers a similar problem to exceptions where you don't actually know whether a function raises a condition or not. The documentation likely explains, but if someone retroactively adds a condition to a function there's nothing forcing upstream users to acknowledge a new point of task failure. * Libaries using I/O are not guaranteed to correctly raise on conditions when an error occurs. In developing various I/O libraries, it's much easier to just return `None` from a read rather than raising an error. The silent contract of "don't raise on EOF" was a little difficult to understand and threw a wrench into the answer of the question "when do I raise a condition?" Many of these difficulties can be overcome through documentation, examples, and general practice. In the end, all of these difficulties added together ended up being too overwhelming and improving various aspects didn't end up helping that much. A result-based I/O error handling strategy also has shortcomings, but the cognitive burden is much smaller. The tooling necessary to make this strategy as usable as conditions were is much smaller than the tooling necessary for conditions. Perhaps conditions may manifest themselves as a future entity, but for now we're going to remove them from the standard library. Closes #9795 Closes #8968

2014-01-24Move macro_rules! macros to libstdSteven Fackler-1/+3
They all have to go into a single module at the moment unfortunately. Ideally, the logging macros would live in std::logging, condition! would live in std::condition, format! in std::fmt, etc. However, this introduces cyclic dependencies between those modules and the macros they use which the current expansion system can't deal with. We may be able to get around this by changing the expansion phase to a two-pass system but that's for a later PR. Closes #2247 cc #11763

This commit brings the library up-to-date in order to get all tests passing again
2013-12-24std: Introduce std::syncAlex Crichton-0/+1
For now, this moves the following modules to std::sync * UnsafeArc (also removed unwrap method) * mpsc_queue * spsc_queue * atomics * mpmc_bounded_queue * deque We may want to remove some of the queues, but for now this moves things out of std::rt into std::sync

2013-12-15Register new snapshotsAlex Crichton-9/+1
Understand 'pkgid' in stage0. As a bonus, the snapshot now contains now metadata (now that those changes have landed), and the snapshot download is half as large as it used to be!
2013-12-10Make crate hash stable and externally computable.Jack Moffitt-3/+5
This replaces the link meta attributes with a pkgid attribute and uses a hash of this as the crate hash. This makes the crate hash computable by things other than the Rust compiler. It also switches the hash function ot SHA1 since that is much more likely to be available in shell, Python, etc than SipHash. Fixes #10188, #8523.

2013-11-29Add generation of static libraries to rustcAlex Crichton-10/+4
This commit implements the support necessary for generating both intermediate and result static rust libraries. This is an implementation of my thoughts in https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-November/006686.html. When compiling a library, we still retain the "lib" option, although now there are "rlib", "staticlib", and "dylib" as options for crate_type (and these are stackable). The idea of "lib" is to generate the "compiler default" instead of having too choose (although all are interchangeable). For now I have left the "complier default" to be a dynamic library for size reasons. Of the rust libraries, lib{std,extra,rustuv} will bootstrap with an rlib/dylib pair, but lib{rustc,syntax,rustdoc,rustpkg} will only be built as a dynamic object. I chose this for size reasons, but also because you're probably not going to be embedding the rustc compiler anywhere any time soon. Other than the options outlined above, there are a few defaults/preferences that are now opinionated in the compiler: * If both a .dylib and .rlib are found for a rust library, the compiler will prefer the .rlib variant. This is overridable via the -Z prefer-dynamic option * If generating a "lib", the compiler will generate a dynamic library. This is overridable by explicitly saying what flavor you'd like (rlib, staticlib, dylib). * If no options are passed to the command line, and no crate_type is found in the destination crate, then an executable is generated With this change, you can successfully build a rust program with 0 dynamic dependencies on rust libraries. There is still a dynamic dependency on librustrt, but I plan on removing that in a subsequent commit. This change includes no tests just yet. Our current testing infrastructure/harnesses aren't very amenable to doing flavorful things with linking, so I'm planning on adding a new mode of testing which I believe belongs as a separate commit.

2013-11-11Remove #[fixed_stack_segment] and #[rust_stack]Alex Crichton-0/+2
These two attributes are no longer useful now that Rust has decided to leave segmented stacks behind. It is assumed that the rust task's stack is always large enough to make an FFI call (due to the stack being very large). There's always the case of stack overflow, however, to consider. This does not change the behavior of stack overflow in Rust. This is still normally triggered by the __morestack function and aborts the whole process. C stack overflow will continue to corrupt the stack, however (as it did before this commit as well). The future improvement of a guard page at the end of every rust stack is still unimplemented and is intended to be the mechanism through which we attempt to detect C stack overflow.

2013-11-03Rename files to match current recommendations.Chris Morgan-0/+230
New standards have arisen in recent months, mostly for the use of rustpkg, but the main Rust codebase has not been altered to match these new specifications. This changeset rectifies most of these issues. - Renamed the crate source files `src/libX/X.rs` to `lib.rs`, for consistency with current styles; this affects extra, rustc, rustdoc, rustpkg, rustuv, std, syntax. - Renamed `X/X.rs` to `X/mod.rs,` as is now recommended style, for `std::num` and `std::terminfo`. - Shifted `src/libstd/str/ascii.rs` out of the otherwise unused `str` directory, to be consistent with its import path of `std::ascii`; libstd is flat at present so it's more appropriate thus. While this removes some `#[path = "..."]` directives, it does not remove all of them, and leaves certain other inconsistencies, such as `std::u8` et al. which are actually stored in `src/libstd/num/` (one subdirectory down). No quorum has been reached on this issue, so I felt it best to leave them all alone at present. #9208 deals with the possibility of making libstd more hierarchical (such as changing the crate to match the current filesystem structure, which would make the module path `std::num::u8`). There is one thing remaining in which this repository is not rustpkg-compliant: rustpkg would have `src/std/` et al. rather than `src/libstd/` et al. I have not endeavoured to change that at this point as it would guarantee prompt bitrot and confusion. A change of that magnitude needs to be discussed first.
