MaybeOwned allows from_utf8_lossy to avoid allocation if there are no
invalid bytes in the input.
|
|
Poly and String have polymorphic `impl`s and so require different method
names.
|
|
`from_utf8_lossy()` takes a byte vector and produces a `~str`, converting
any invalid UTF-8 sequence into the U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.
The replacement follows the guidelines in §5.22 Best Practice for U+FFFD
Substitution from the Unicode Standard (Version 6.2)[1], which also
matches the WHATWG rules for utf-8 decoding[2].

Closes #9516.

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.

* All I/O now returns IoResult<T> = Result<T, IoError>
* All formatting traits now return fmt::Result = IoResult<()>
* The if_ok!() macro was added to libstd

Rename existing iterators to get rid of the Iterator suffix and to
give them names that better describe the things being iterated over.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also remove all instances of 'self within the codebase.
This fixes #10889.

Who doesn't like a massive renaming?
|
|
|
|
Delete the following API functions:
- set_dirname()
- with_dirname()
- set_filestem()
- with_filestem()
- add_extension()
- file_path()
Also change pop() to return a boolean instead of an owned copy of the
old filename.
|
|
Standardize the is_sep() functions to be the same in both posix and
windows, and re-export from path. Update extra::glob to use this.
Remove the usage of either, as it's going away.
Move the WindowsPath-specific methods out of WindowsPath and make them
top-level functions of path::windows instead. This way you cannot
accidentally write code that will fail to compile on non-windows
architectures without typing ::windows anywhere.
Remove GenericPath::from_c_str() and just impl BytesContainer for
CString instead.
Remove .join_path() and .push_path() and just implement BytesContainer
for Path instead.
Remove FilenameDisplay and add a boolean flag to Display instead.
Remove .each_parent(). It only had one caller, so just inline its
definition there.
|
|
Rewrite these methods as methods on Display and FilenameDisplay. This
turns
do path.with_display_str |s| { ... }
into
do path.display().with_str |s| { ... }
|
|
Add a new trait BytesContainer that is implemented for both byte vectors
and strings.
Convert Path::from_vec and ::from_str to one function, Path::new().
Remove all the _str-suffixed mutation methods (push, join, with_*,
set_*) and modify the non-suffixed versions to use BytesContainer.
|
|
There are no clients of this API, so just remove it.
Update the module docstring to mention normalization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the old path.
Rename path2 to path.
Update all clients for the new path.
Also make some miscellaneous changes to the Path APIs to help the
adoption process.
