2014-06-06std: Extract librustrt out of libstdAlex Crichton-361/+0
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]
2014-06-06rtio: Remove usage of `Path`Alex Crichton-3/+2
The rtio interface is a thin low-level interface over the I/O subsystems, and the `Path` type is a little too high-level for this interface.
2014-06-06rtio: Remove unused stuctAlex Crichton-12/+0
2014-06-04std: Improve non-task-based usageAlex Crichton-1/+4
A few notable improvements were implemented to cut down on the number of aborts triggered by the standard library when a local task is not found. * Primarily, the unwinding functionality was restructured to support an unsafe top-level function, `try`. This function invokes a closure, capturing any failure which occurs inside of it. The purpose of this function is to be as lightweight of a "try block" as possible for rust, intended for use when the runtime is difficult to set up. This function is *not* meant to be used by normal rust code, nor should it be consider for use with normal rust code. * When invoking spawn(), a `fail!()` is triggered rather than an abort. * When invoking LocalIo::borrow(), which is transitively called by all I/O constructors, None is returned rather than aborting to indicate that there is no local I/O implementation. * Invoking get() on a TLD key will return None if no task is available * Invoking replace() on a TLD key will fail if no task is available. A test case was also added showing the variety of things that you can do without a runtime or task set up now. In general, this is just a refactoring to abort less quickly in the standard library when a local task is not found.
2014-05-14Process::new etc should support non-utf8 commands/argsAaron Turon-2/+57
The existing APIs for spawning processes took strings for the command and arguments, but the underlying system may not impose utf8 encoding, so this is overly limiting. The assumption we actually want to make is just that the command and arguments are viewable as [u8] slices with no interior NULLs, i.e., as CStrings. The ToCStr trait is a handy bound for types that meet this requirement (such as &str and Path). However, since the commands and arguments are often a mixture of strings and paths, it would be inconvenient to take a slice with a single T: ToCStr bound. So this patch revamps the process creation API to instead use a builder-style interface, called `Command`, allowing arguments to be added one at a time with differing ToCStr implementations for each. The initial cut of the builder API has some drawbacks that can be addressed once issue #13851 (libstd as a facade) is closed. These are detailed as FIXMEs. Closes #11650. [breaking-change]
2014-05-13io: Implement process wait timeoutsAlex Crichton-1/+2
This implements set_timeout() for std::io::Process which will affect wait() operations on the process. This follows the same pattern as the rest of the timeouts emerging in std::io::net. The implementation was super easy for everything except libnative on unix (backwards from usual!), which required a good bit of signal handling. There's a doc comment explaining the strategy in libnative. Internally, this also required refactoring the "helper thread" implementation used by libnative to allow for an extra helper thread (not just the timer). This is a breaking change in terms of the io::Process API. It is now possible for wait() to fail, and subsequently wait_with_output(). These two functions now return IoResult<T> due to the fact that they can time out. Additionally, the wait_with_output() function has moved from taking `&mut self` to taking `self`. If a timeout occurs while waiting with output, the semantics are undesirable in almost all cases if attempting to re-wait on the process. Equivalent functionality can still be achieved by dealing with the output handles manually. [breaking-change] cc #13523
2014-05-12Add `stat` method to `std::io::fs::File` to stat without a Path.Yuri Kunde Schlesner-0/+1
The `FileStat` struct contained a `path` field, which was filled by the `stat` and `lstat` function. Since this field isn't in fact returned by the operating system (it was copied from the paths passed to the functions) it was removed, as in the `fstat` case we aren't working with a `Path`, but directly with a fd. If your code used the `path` field of `FileStat` you will now have to manually store the path passed to `stat` along with the returned struct. [breaking-change]
2014-05-11core: Remove the cast moduleAlex Crichton-4/+4
This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely, folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate of each function in the `cast` module. * transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as #[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute` function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment). For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898 * transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This function is now #[stable] * forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable] * bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of managed boxes as well as its questionable utility. * transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part of this commit. * transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was removed. * transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong indication that code is incorrect in the first place. * transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as `transmute_lifetime` * copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked `#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in the future if it is found to not be very useful. * copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same treatment as `copy_lifetime`. * copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today, and its existence is not necessary with DST (copy_lifetime will suffice). In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the functions were moved to the `mem` module. transmute - #[unstable] transmute_copy - #[stable] forget - #[stable] copy_lifetime - #[unstable] copy_mut_lifetime - #[unstable] [breaking-change]

2014-05-07std: Add I/O timeouts to networking objectsAlex Crichton-0/+9
These timeouts all follow the same pattern as established by the timeouts on acceptors. There are three methods: set_timeout, set_read_timeout, and set_write_timeout. Each of these sets a point in the future after which operations will time out. Timeouts with cloned objects are a little trickier. Each object is viewed as having its own timeout, unaffected by other objects' timeouts. Additionally, timeouts do not propagate when a stream is cloned or when a cloned stream has its timeouts modified. This commit is just the public interface which will be exposed for timeouts, the implementation will come in later commits.
2014-05-07std: Add close_{read,write}() methods to I/OAlex Crichton-0/+4
Two new methods were added to TcpStream and UnixStream: fn close_read(&mut self) -> IoResult<()>; fn close_write(&mut self) -> IoResult<()>; These two methods map to shutdown()'s behavior (the system call on unix), closing the reading or writing half of a duplex stream. These methods are primarily added to allow waking up a pending read in another task. By closing the reading half of a connection, all pending readers will be woken up and will return with EndOfFile. The close_write() method was added for symmetry with close_read(), and I imagine that it will be quite useful at some point. Implementation-wise, librustuv got the short end of the stick this time. The native versions just delegate to the shutdown() syscall (easy). The uv versions can leverage uv_shutdown() for tcp/unix streams, but only for closing the writing half. Closing the reading half is done through some careful dancing to wake up a pending reader. As usual, windows likes to be different from unix. The windows implementation uses shutdown() for sockets, but shutdown() is not available for named pipes. Instead, CancelIoEx was used with same fancy synchronization to make sure everyone knows what's up. cc #11165
2014-05-06librustc: Remove `~EXPR`, `~TYPE`, and `~PAT` from the language, exceptPatrick Walton-23/+28
for `~str`/`~[]`. 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`.

2014-04-24std: Add timeouts to unix connect/acceptAlex Crichton-1/+3
This adds support for connecting to a unix socket with a timeout (a named pipe on windows), and accepting a connection with a timeout. The goal is to bring unix pipes/named sockets back in line with TCP support for timeouts. Similarly to the TCP sockets, all methods are marked #[experimental] due to uncertainty about the type of the timeout argument. This internally involved a good bit of refactoring to share as much code as possible between TCP servers and pipe servers, but the core implementation did not change drastically as part of this commit. cc #13523
2014-04-23std: Add support for an accept() timeoutAlex Crichton-0/+1
This adds experimental support for timeouts when accepting sockets through `TcpAcceptor::accept`. This does not add a separate `accept_timeout` function, but rather it adds a `set_timeout` function instead. This second function is intended to be used as a hard deadline after which all accepts will never block and fail immediately. This idea was derived from Go's SetDeadline() methods. We do not currently have a robust time abstraction in the standard library, so I opted to have the argument be a relative time in millseconds into the future. I believe a more appropriate argument type is an absolute time, but this concept does not exist yet (this is also why the function is marked #[experimental]). The native support is built on select(), similarly to connect_timeout(), and the green support is based on channel select and a timer. cc #13523
2014-04-19std: Add an experimental connect_timeout functionAlex Crichton-1/+2
This adds a `TcpStream::connect_timeout` function in order to assist opening connections with a timeout (cc #13523). There isn't really much design space for this specific operation (unlike timing out normal blocking reads/writes), so I am fairly confident that this is the correct interface for this function. The function is marked #[experimental] because it takes a u64 timeout argument, and the u64 type is likely to change in the future.
2014-04-10std,native,green,rustuv: make readdir return `Vec`.Huon Wilson-1/+2

2014-03-13auto merge of #12855 : alexcrichton/rust/shutdown, r=brsonbors-0/+1
This is something that is plausibly useful, and is provided by libuv. This is not currently surfaced as part of the `TcpStream` type, but it may possibly appear in the future. For now only the raw functionality is provided through the Rtio objects.

2014-03-13std: Rename Chan/Port types and constructorAlex Crichton-4/+4
* Chan<T> => Sender<T> * Port<T> => Receiver<T> * Chan::new() => channel() * constructor returns (Sender, Receiver) instead of (Receiver, Sender) * local variables named `port` renamed to `rx` * local variables named `chan` renamed to `tx` Closes #11765
2014-02-23Roll std::run into std::io::processAlex Crichton-0/+1
The std::run module is a relic from a standard library long since past, and there's not much use to having two modules to execute processes with where one is slightly more convenient. This commit merges the two modules, moving lots of functionality from std::run into std::io::process and then deleting std::run. New things you can find in std::io::process are: * Process::new() now only takes prog/args * Process::configure() takes a ProcessConfig * Process::status() is the same as run::process_status * Process::output() is the same as run::process_output * I/O for spawned tasks is now defaulted to captured in pipes instead of ignored * Process::kill() was added (plus an associated green/native implementation) * Process::wait_with_output() is the same as the old finish_with_output() * destroy() is now signal_exit() * force_destroy() is now signal_kill() Closes #2625 Closes #10016
2014-02-12Expose whether event loops have active I/OAlex Crichton-0/+1
The green scheduler can optimize its runtime based on this by deciding to not go to sleep in epoll() if there is no active I/O and there is a task to be stolen. This is implemented for librustuv by keeping a count of the number of tasks which are currently homed. If a task is homed, and then performs a blocking I/O operation, the count will be nonzero while the task is blocked. The homing count is intentionally 0 when there are I/O handles, but no handles currently blocked. The reason for this is that epoll() would only be used to wake up the scheduler anyway. The crux of this change was to have a `HomingMissile` contain a mutable borrowed reference back to the `HomeHandle`. The rest of the change was just dealing with this fallout. This reference is used to decrement the homed handle count in a HomingMissile's destructor. Also note that the count maintained is not atomic because all of its increments/decrements/reads are all on the same I/O thread.
2014-02-11Rewrite channels yet again for upgradeabilityAlex Crichton-2/+2
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.
2014-02-05Implement clone() for TCP/UDP/Unix socketsAlex Crichton-0/+4
This is part of the overall strategy I would like to take when approaching issue #11165. The only two I/O objects that reasonably want to be "split" are the network stream objects. Everything else can be "split" by just creating another version. The initial idea I had was the literally split the object into a reader and a writer half, but that would just introduce lots of clutter with extra interfaces that were a little unnnecssary, or it would return a ~Reader and a ~Writer which means you couldn't access things like the remote peer name or local socket name. The solution I found to be nicer was to just clone the stream itself. The clone is just a clone of the handle, nothing fancy going on at the kernel level. Conceptually I found this very easy to wrap my head around (everything else supports clone()), and it solved the "split" problem at the same time. The cloning support is pretty specific per platform/lib combination: * native/win32 - uses some specific WSA apis to clone the SOCKET handle * native/unix - uses dup() to get another file descriptor * green/all - This is where things get interesting. When we support full clones of a handle, this implies that we're allowing simultaneous writes and reads to happen. It turns out that libuv doesn't support two simultaneous reads or writes of the same object. It does support *one* read and *one* write at the same time, however. Some extra infrastructure was added to just block concurrent writers/readers until the previous read/write operation was completed. I've added tests to the tcp/unix modules to make sure that this functionality is supported everywhere.

2013-12-24rustuv: Remove the id() function from IoFactoryAlex Crichton-2/+0
The only user of this was the homing code in librustuv, and it just manually does the cast from a pointer to a uint now.
2013-12-24green: Rip the bandaid off, introduce libgreenAlex Crichton-4/+7
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.
2013-12-24std: Expose that LocalIo may not always be availableAlex Crichton-23/+37
It is not the case that all programs will always be able to acquire an instance of the LocalIo borrow, so this commit exposes this limitation by returning Option<LocalIo> from LocalIo::borrow(). At the same time, a helper method LocalIo::maybe_raise() has been added in order to encapsulate the functionality of raising on io_error if there is on local I/O available.

2013-11-18Allow piped stdout/stderr use uv_tty_tAlex Crichton-0/+1
There are issues with reading stdin when it is actually attached to a pipe, but I have run into no problems in writing to stdout/stderr when they are attached to pipes.
2013-11-13Implement native::IoFactoryAlex Crichton-9/+17
This commit re-organizes the io::native module slightly in order to have a working implementation of rtio::IoFactory which uses native implementations. The goal is to seamlessly multiplex among libuv/native implementations wherever necessary. Right now most of the native I/O is unimplemented, but we have existing bindings for file descriptors and processes which have been hooked up. What this means is that you can now invoke println!() from libstd with no local task, no local scheduler, and even without libuv. There's still plenty of work to do on the native I/O factory, but this is the first steps into making it an official portion of the standard library. I don't expect anyone to reach into io::native directly, but rather only std::io primitives will be used. Each std::io interface seamlessly falls back onto the native I/O implementation if the local scheduler doesn't have a libuv one (hurray trait ojects!)
2013-11-11Move std::rt::io to std::ioAlex Crichton-12/+12
2013-11-12Implemented a ProcessExit enum and helper methods to std::rt::io::process ↵Matthew Iselin-2/+2
for getting process termination status, or the signal that terminated a process. A test has been added to rtio-processes.rs to ensure signal termination is picked up correctly.
2013-11-10Fall back from uv tty instances more aggressivelyAlex Crichton-1/+0
It appears that uv's support for interacting with a stdio stream as a tty when it's actually a pipe is pretty problematic. To get around this, promote a check to see if the stream is a tty to the top of the tty constructor, and bail out quickly if it's not identified as a tty. Closes #10237
2013-11-10Rework the idle callback to have a safer interfaceAlex Crichton-3/+1
It turns out that the uv implementation would cause use-after-free if the idle callback was used after the call to `close`, and additionally nothing would ever really work that well if `start()` were called twice. To change this, the `start` and `close` methods were removed in favor of specifying the callback at creation, and allowing destruction to take care of closing the watcher.

2013-11-03Fill out the remaining functionality in io::fileAlex Crichton-5/+18
This adds bindings to the remaining functions provided by libuv, all of which are useful operations on files which need to get exposed somehow. Some highlights: * Dropped `FileReader` and `FileWriter` and `FileStream` for one `File` type * Moved all file-related methods to be static methods under `File` * All directory related methods are still top-level functions * Created `io::FilePermission` types (backed by u32) that are what you'd expect * Created `io::FileType` and refactored `FileStat` to use FileType and FilePermission * Removed the expanding matrix of `FileMode` operations. The mode of reading a file will not have the O_CREAT flag, but a write mode will always have the O_CREAT flag. Closes #10130 Closes #10131 Closes #10121
2013-11-03Remove all blocking std::os blocking functionsAlex Crichton-2/+5
This commit moves all thread-blocking I/O functions from the std::os module. Their replacements can be found in either std::rt::io::file or in a hidden "old_os" module inside of native::file. I didn't want to outright delete these functions because they have a lot of special casing learned over time for each OS/platform, and I imagine that these will someday get integrated into a blocking implementation of IoFactory. For now, they're moved to a private module to prevent bitrot and still have tests to ensure that they work. I've also expanded the extensions to a few more methods defined on Path, most of which were previously defined in std::os but now have non-thread-blocking implementations as part of using the current IoFactory. The api of io::file is in flux, but I plan on changing it in the next commit as well. Closes #10057
