2014-06-11rustc: Remove ~[T] from the languageAlex Crichton-14/+12
The following features have been removed * box [a, b, c] * ~[a, b, c] * box [a, ..N] * ~[a, ..N] * ~[T] (as a type) * deprecated_owned_vector lint All users of ~[T] should move to using Vec<T> instead.
2014-06-09core: Move the collections traits to libcollectionsAlex Crichton-1/+1
This commit moves Mutable, Map, MutableMap, Set, and MutableSet from `core::collections` to the `collections` crate at the top-level. Additionally, this removes the `deque` module and moves the `Deque` trait to only being available at the top-level of the collections crate. All functionality continues to be reexported through `std::collections`. [breaking-change]
2014-05-29std: Recreate a `rand` moduleAlex Crichton-0/+123
This commit shuffles around some of the `rand` code, along with some reorganization. The new state of the world is as follows: * The librand crate now only depends on libcore. This interface is experimental. * The standard library has a new module, `std::rand`. This interface will eventually become stable. Unfortunately, this entailed more of a breaking change than just shuffling some names around. The following breaking changes were made to the rand library: * Rng::gen_vec() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_iter() which will return an infinite stream of random values. Previous behavior can be regained with `rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()` * Rng::gen_ascii_str() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_ascii_chars() which will return an infinite stream of random ascii characters. Similarly to gen_iter(), previous behavior can be emulated with `rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()` * {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs. * Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for librand to not depend on liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not supported. If this is undesirable, librand can depend on liballoc and regain these implementations. * The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`, but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice structure now has a lifetime associated with it. * The `sample` method on `Rng` has been moved to a top-level function in the `rand` module due to its dependence on `Vec`. cc #13851 [breaking-change]
2014-03-12std: Move rand to librand.Huon Wilson-124/+0
This functionality is not super-core and so doesn't need to be included in std. It's possible that std may need rand (it does a little bit now, for io::test) in which case the functionality required could be moved to a secret hidden module and reexposed by librand. Unfortunately, using #[deprecated] here is hard: there's too much to mock to make it feasible, since we have to ensure that programs still typecheck to reach the linting phase.
2014-02-28std: Change assert_eq!() to use {} instead of {:?}Alex Crichton-1/+1
Formatting via reflection has been a little questionable for some time now, and it's a little unfortunate that one of the standard macros will silently use reflection when you weren't expecting it. This adds small bits of code bloat to libraries, as well as not always being necessary. In light of this information, this commit switches assert_eq!() to using {} in the error message instead of {:?}. In updating existing code, there were a few error cases that I encountered: * It's impossible to define Show for [T, ..N]. I think DST will alleviate this because we can define Show for [T]. * A few types here and there just needed a #[deriving(Show)] * Type parameters needed a Show bound, I often moved this to `assert!(a == b)` * `Path` doesn't implement `Show`, so assert_eq!() cannot be used on two paths. I don't think this is much of a regression though because {:?} on paths looks awful (it's a byte array). Concretely speaking, this shaved 10K off a 656K binary. Not a lot, but sometime significant for smaller binaries.
2014-02-03std: Remove io::io_errorAlex Crichton-9/+9
* 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
2014-01-17Tweak the interface of std::ioAlex Crichton-3/+3
* Reexport io::mem and io::buffered structs directly under io, make mem/buffered private modules * Remove with_mem_writer * Remove DEFAULT_CAPACITY and use DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (in io::buffered)

Fallout from the previous commits
2013-12-26std::rand: remove the `fn main()` from the examples.Huon Wilson-4/+2
2013-11-11Move std::rt::io to std::ioAlex Crichton-3/+3
2013-10-28Remove the extension traits for Readers/WritersAlex Crichton-5/+4
These methods are all excellent candidates for default methods, so there's no need to require extra imports of various traits.

2013-10-09std::rand: make the windows OSRng more correct, remove some C++.Huon Wilson-7/+31
This lets the C++ code in the rt handle the (slightly) tricky parts of random number generation: e.g. error detection/handling, and using the values of the `#define`d options to the various functions.
2013-10-09std::rand: Add OSRng, ReaderRng wrappers around the OS RNG & generic Readers ↵Huon Wilson-0/+94
respectively. The former reads from e.g. /dev/urandom, the latter just wraps any std::rt::io::Reader into an interface that implements Rng. This also adds Rng.fill_bytes for efficient implementations of the above (reading 8 bytes at a time is inefficient when you can read 1000), and removes the dependence on src/rt (i.e. rand_gen_seed) although this last one requires implementing hand-seeding of the XorShiftRng used in the scheduler on Linux/unixes, since OSRng relies on a scheduler existing to be able to read from /dev/urandom.
