Earlier commits have established a baseline of `experimental` stability
for all crates under the facade (so their contents are considered
experimental within libstd). Since `experimental` is `allow` by
default, we should use the same baseline stability for libstd itself.
This commit adds `experimental` tags to all of the modules defined in
`std`, and `unstable` to `std` itself.

This commit is the final step in the libstd facade, #13851. The purpose of this
commit is to move libsync underneath the standard library, behind the facade.
This will allow core primitives like channels, queues, and atomics to all live
in the same location.
There were a few notable changes and a few breaking changes as part of this
movement:
* The `Vec` and `String` types are reexported at the top level of libcollections
* The `unreachable!()` macro was copied to libcore
* The `std::rt::thread` module was moved to librustrt, but it is still
reexported at the same location.
* The `std::comm` module was moved to libsync
* The `sync::comm` module was moved under `sync::comm`, and renamed to `duplex`.
It is now a private module with types/functions being reexported under
`sync::comm`. This is a breaking change for any existing users of duplex
streams.
* All concurrent queues/deques were moved directly under libsync. They are also
all marked with #![experimental] for now if they are public.
* The `task_pool` and `future` modules no longer live in libsync, but rather
live under `std::sync`. They will forever live at this location, but they may
move to libsync if the `std::task` module moves as well.

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.

This commit is part of the libstd facade RFC, issue #13851. This creates a new
library, liballoc, which is intended to be the core allocation library for all
of Rust. It is pinned on the basic assumption that an allocation failure is an
abort or failure.
This module has inherited the heap/libc_heap modules from std::rt, the owned/rc
modules from std, and the arc module from libsync. These three pointers are
currently the three most core pointer implementations in Rust.
The UnsafeArc type in std::sync should be considered deprecated and replaced by
Arc<Unsafe<T>>. This commit does not currently migrate to this type, but future
commits will continue this refactoring.
|
|
This module only contains wrappers for malloc and realloc with
out-of-memory checks.
|
|
This adds a `std::rt::heap` module with a nice allocator API. It's a
step towards fixing #13094 and is a starting point for working on a
generic allocator trait.
The revision used for the jemalloc submodule is the stable 3.6.0 release.
Closes #11807

This adds an small of failure to libcore, hamstrung by the fact that std::fmt
hasn't been migrated yet. A few asserts were re-worked to not use std::fmt
features, but these asserts can go back to their original form once std::fmt has
migrated.
The current failure implementation is to just have some symbols exposed by
std::rt::unwind that are linked against by libcore. This is an explicit circular
dependency, unfortunately. This will be officially supported in the future
through compiler support with much nicer failure messages. Additionally, there
are two depended-upon symbols today, but in the future there will only be one
(once std::fmt has migrated).

Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

This is all purely fallout of getting the previous commit to compile.

The crate map is no longer necessary now that logging and event loop factories
have been moved out.
Closes #11617
Closes #11731

This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external
crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros
and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are:
* The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It
has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost
exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the
end goals of this movement.
* The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the
__log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module
specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging
system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler
itself.
* Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a
magical crate map being available to set module log levels.
* If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's
no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the
highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should
be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one
provided in the rust distribution.
With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some
subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros:
* The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical
log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but
there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level
is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously
generated logging code looked like:
if specified_level <= __module_log_level() {
println!(...)
}
The newly generated code looks like:
if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL {
if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) {
println!(...)
}
}
Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in
that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of
checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have
logging turned on.
This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules
with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive
dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not).
Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but
runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code.
* A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules
that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the
log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally,
warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was
supplied.
The new "hello world" for logging looks like:
#[phase(syntax, link)]
extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("Hello, world!");
}
|
|
Whenever a failure happens, if a program is run with
`RUST_LOG=std::rt::backtrace` a backtrace will be printed to the task's stderr
handle. Stack traces are uncondtionally printed on double-failure and
rtabort!().
This ended up having a nontrivial implementation, and here's some highlights of
it:
* We're bundling libbacktrace for everything but OSX and Windows
* We use libgcc_s and its libunwind apis to get a backtrace of instruction
pointers
* On OSX we use dladdr() to go from an instruction pointer to a symbol
* On unix that isn't OSX, we use libbacktrace to get symbols
* Windows, as usual, has an entirely separate implementation
Lots more fun details and comments can be found in the source itself.

When using tasks in Rust, the expectation is that the runtime does not exit
before all tasks have exited. This is enforced in libgreen through the
`SchedPool` type, and it is enforced in libnative through a `bookkeeping` module
and a global count/mutex pair. Unfortunately, this means that a process which
originates with libgreen will not wait for spawned native tasks.
In order to fix this problem, the bookkeeping module was moved from libnative to
libstd so the runtime itself can wait for native tasks to exit. Green tasks do
not manage themselves through this bookkeeping module, but native tasks will
continue to manage themselves through this module.
Closes #12684

This, the Nth rewrite of channels, is not a rewrite of the core logic behind
channels, but rather their API usage. In the past, we had the distinction
between oneshot, stream, and shared channels, but the most recent rewrite
dropped oneshots in favor of streams and shared channels.
This distinction of stream vs shared has shown that it's not quite what we'd
like either, and this moves the `std::comm` module in the direction of "one
channel to rule them all". There now remains only one Chan and one Port.
This new channel is actually a hybrid oneshot/stream/shared channel under the
hood in order to optimize for the use cases in question. Additionally, this also
reduces the cognitive burden of having to choose between a Chan or a SharedChan
in an API.
My simple benchmarks show no reduction in efficiency over the existing channels
today, and a 3x improvement in the oneshot case. I sadly don't have a
pre-last-rewrite compiler to test out the old old oneshots, but I would imagine
that the performance is comparable, but slightly slower (due to atomic reference
counting).
This commit also brings the bonus bugfix to channels that the pending queue of
messages are all dropped when a Port disappears rather then when both the Port
and the Chan disappear.

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.

Now that extra::sync primitives are built on a proper mutex instead of a
pthreads one, there's no longer any use for this function.
|
|
This ends up saving a single `call` instruction in the optimised code,
but saves a few hundred lines of non-optimised IR for `fn main() {
fail!("foo {}", "bar"); }` (comparing against the minimal generic
baseline from the parent commit).

This routine is currently only used to clean up the timer helper thread in the
libnative implementation, but there are possibly other uses for this.
The documentation is clear that the procedures are *not* run with any task
context and hence have very little available to them. I also opted to disallow
at_exit inside of at_exit and just abort the process at that point.

This extracts everything related to green scheduling from libstd and introduces
a new libgreen crate. This mostly involves deleting most of std::rt and moving
it to libgreen.
Along with the movement of code, this commit rearchitects many functions in the
scheduler in order to adapt to the fact that Local::take now *only* works on a
Task, not a scheduler. This mostly just involved threading the current green
task through in a few locations, but there were one or two spots where things
got hairy.
There are a few repercussions of this commit:
* tube/rc have been removed (the runtime implementation of rc)
* There is no longer a "single threaded" spawning mode for tasks. This is now
encompassed by 1:1 scheduling + communication. Convenience methods have been
introduced that are specific to libgreen to assist in the spawning of pools of
schedulers.
|
|
This trait is used to abstract the differences between 1:1 and M:N scheduling
and is the sole dispatch point for the differences between these two scheduling
modes.
This, and the following series of commits, is not intended to compile. Only
after the entire transition is complete are programs expected to compile.

This adds an implementation of the Chase-Lev work-stealing deque to libstd
under std::rt::deque. I've been unable to break the implementation of the deque
itself, and it's not super highly optimized just yet (everything uses a SeqCst
memory ordering).
The major snag in implementing the chase-lev deque is that the buffers used to
store data internally cannot get deallocated back to the OS. In the meantime, a
shared buffer pool (synchronized by a normal mutex) is used to
deallocate/allocate buffers from. This is done in hope of not overcommitting too
much memory. It is in theory possible to eventually free the buffers, but one
must be very careful in doing so.
I was unable to get some good numbers from src/test/bench tests (I don't think
many of them are slamming the work queue that much), but I was able to get some
good numbers from one of my own tests. In a recent rewrite of select::select(),
I found that my implementation was incredibly slow due to contention on the
shared work queue. Upon switching to the parallel deque, I saw the contention
drop to 0 and the runtime go from 1.6s to 0.9s with the most amount of time
spent in libuv awakening the schedulers (plus allocations).

Whenever the runtime is shut down, add a few hooks to clean up some of the
statically initialized data of the runtime. Note that this is an unsafe
operation because there's no guarantee on behalf of the runtime that there's no
other code running which is using the runtime.
This helps turn down the noise a bit in the valgrind output related to
statically initialized mutexes. It doesn't turn the noise down to 0 because
there are still statically initialized mutexes in dynamic_lib and
os::with_env_lock, but I believe that it would be easy enough to add exceptions
for those cases and I don't think that it's the runtime's job to go and clean up
that data.
