2015-01-20std: Rename Show/String to Debug/DisplayAlex Crichton-2/+6
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 565][rfc] which is a stabilization of the `std::fmt` module and the implementations of various formatting traits. Specifically, the following changes were performed: [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0565-show-string-guidelines.md * The `Show` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Debug` * The `String` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Display` * Many `Debug` and `Display` implementations were audited in accordance with the RFC and audited implementations now have the `#[stable]` attribute * Integers and floats no longer print a suffix * Smart pointers no longer print details that they are a smart pointer * Paths with `Debug` are now quoted and escape characters * The `unwrap` methods on `Result` now require `Display` instead of `Debug` * The `Error` trait no longer has a `detail` method and now requires that `Display` must be implemented. With the loss of `String`, this has moved into libcore. * `impl<E: Error> FromError<E> for Box<Error>` now exists * `derive(Show)` has been renamed to `derive(Debug)`. This is not currently warned about due to warnings being emitted on stage1+ While backwards compatibility is attempted to be maintained with a blanket implementation of `Display` for the old `String` trait (and the same for `Show`/`Debug`) this is still a breaking change due to primitives no longer implementing `String` as well as modifications such as `unwrap` and the `Error` trait. Most code is fairly straightforward to update with a rename or tweaks of method calls. [breaking-change] Closes #21436

2015-01-16Rewrite Condvar::wait_timeout and make it publicSteven Fackler-1/+16
**The implementation is a direct adaptation of libcxx's condition_variable implementation.** pthread_cond_timedwait uses the non-monotonic system clock. It's possible to change the clock to a monotonic via pthread_cond_attr, but this is incompatible with static initialization. To deal with this, we calculate the timeout using the system clock, and maintain a separate record of the start and end times with a monotonic clock to be used for calculation of the return value.

2015-01-02std: Stabilize the prelude moduleAlex Crichton-1/+1
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports. Some reexports are kept around, however: * `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn. * `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed. * All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all at once to `std::io::prelude::*`. This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to find the locations of where to import them.

2014-12-29std: Stabilization pass for mutex/rwlock/condvarAlex Crichton-0/+7
This commit performs a stabilization pass over the sync::{mutex, rwlock, condvar} modules, marking the following items as stable: * Mutex * Mutex::new * Mutex::lock * Mutex::try_lock * MutexGuard * RWLock * RWLock::new * RWLock::read * RWLock::try_read * RWLock::write * RWLock::try_write * RWLockReadGuard * RWLockWriteGuard * Condvar * Condvar::new * Condvar::wait * Condvar::notify_one * Condvar::notify_all * PoisonError * TryLockError * TryLockError::Poisoned * TryLockError::WouldBlock * LockResult * TryLockResult The following items remain unstable to explore future possibilities of unifying the static/non-static variants of the types: * StaticMutex * StaticMutex::new * StaticMutex::lock * StaticMutex::try_lock * StaticMutex::desroy * StaticRWLock * StaticRWLock::new * StaticRWLock::read * StaticRWLock::try_read * StaticRWLock::write * StaticRWLock::try_write * StaticRWLock::destroy The following items were removed in favor of `Guard<'static, ()>` instead. * StaticMutexGuard * StaticRWLockReadGuard * StaticRWLockWriteGuard
2014-12-29std: Return Result from RWLock/Mutex methodsAlex Crichton-13/+102
All of the current std::sync primitives have poisoning enable which means that when a task fails inside of a write-access lock then all future attempts to acquire the lock will fail. This strategy ensures that stale data whose invariants are possibly not upheld are never viewed by other tasks to help propagate unexpected panics (bugs in a program) among tasks. Currently there is no way to test whether a mutex or rwlock is poisoned. One method would be to duplicate all the methods with a sister foo_catch function, for example. This pattern is, however, against our [error guidelines][errors]. As a result, this commit exposes the fact that a task has failed internally through the return value of a `Result`. [errors]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0236-error-conventions.md#do-not-provide-both-result-and-fail-variants All methods now return a `LockResult<T>` or a `TryLockResult<T>` which communicates whether the lock was poisoned or not. In a `LockResult`, both the `Ok` and `Err` variants contains the `MutexGuard<T>` that is being returned in order to allow access to the data if poisoning is not desired. This also means that the lock is *always* held upon returning from `.lock()`. A new type, `PoisonError`, was added with one method `into_guard` which can consume the assertion that a lock is poisoned to gain access to the underlying data. This is a breaking change because the signatures of these methods have changed, often incompatible ways. One major difference is that the `wait` methods on a condition variable now consume the guard and return it in as a `LockResult` to indicate whether the lock was poisoned while waiting. Most code can be updated by calling `.unwrap()` on the return value of `.lock()`. [breaking-change]

2014-12-08Remove Result and Option reexportsCorey Farwell-1/+1
Brief note: This does *not* affect anything in the prelude Part of #19253 All this does is remove the reexporting of Result and Option from their respective modules. More core reexports might be removed, but these ones are the safest to remove since these enums (and their variants) are included in the prelude. [breaking-change]
2014-12-05std: Rewrite the `sync` moduleAlex Crichton-0/+48
This commit is a reimplementation of `std::sync` to be based on the system-provided primitives wherever possible. The previous implementation was fundamentally built on top of channels, and as part of the runtime reform it has become clear that this is not the level of abstraction that the standard level should be providing. This rewrite aims to provide as thin of a shim as possible on top of the system primitives in order to make them safe. The overall interface of the `std::sync` module has in general not changed, but there are a few important distinctions, highlighted below: * The condition variable type, `Condvar`, has been separated out of a `Mutex`. A condition variable is now an entirely separate type. This separation benefits users who only use one mutex, and provides a clearer distinction of who's responsible for managing condition variables (the application). * All of `Condvar`, `Mutex`, and `RWLock` are now directly built on top of system primitives rather than using a custom implementation. The `Once`, `Barrier`, and `Semaphore` types are still built upon these abstractions of the system primitives. * The `Condvar`, `Mutex`, and `RWLock` types all have a new static type and constant initializer corresponding to them. These are provided primarily for C FFI interoperation, but are often useful to otherwise simply have a global lock. The types, however, will leak memory unless `destroy()` is called on them, which is clearly documented. * The `Condvar` implementation for an `RWLock` write lock has been removed. This may be added back in the future with a userspace implementation, but this commit is focused on exposing the system primitives first. * The fundamental architecture of this design is to provide two separate layers. The first layer is that exposed by `sys_common` which is a cross-platform bare-metal abstraction of the system synchronization primitives. No attempt is made at making this layer safe, and it is quite unsafe to use! It is currently not exported as part of the API of the standard library, but the stabilization of the `sys` module will ensure that these will be exposed in time. The purpose of this layer is to provide the core cross-platform abstractions if necessary to implementors. The second layer is the layer provided by `std::sync` which is intended to be the thinnest possible layer on top of `sys_common` which is entirely safe to use. There are a few concerns which need to be addressed when making these system primitives safe: * Once used, the OS primitives can never be **moved**. This means that they essentially need to have a stable address. The static primitives use `&'static self` to enforce this, and the non-static primitives all use a `Box` to provide this guarantee. * Poisoning is leveraged to ensure that invalid data is not accessible from other tasks after one has panicked. In addition to these overall blanket safety limitations, each primitive has a few restrictions of its own: * Mutexes and rwlocks can only be unlocked from the same thread that they were locked by. This is achieved through RAII lock guards which cannot be sent across threads. * Mutexes and rwlocks can only be unlocked if they were previously locked. This is achieved by not exposing an unlocking method. * A condition variable can only be waited on with a locked mutex. This is achieved by requiring a `MutexGuard` in the `wait()` method. * A condition variable cannot be used concurrently with more than one mutex. This is guaranteed by dynamically binding a condition variable to precisely one mutex for its entire lifecycle. This restriction may be able to be relaxed in the future (a mutex is unbound when no threads are waiting on the condvar), but for now it is sufficient to guarantee safety. * Condvars now support timeouts for their blocking operations. The implementation for these operations is provided by the system. Due to the modification of the `Condvar` API, removal of the `std::sync::mutex` API, and reimplementation, this is a breaking change. Most code should be fairly easy to port using the examples in the documentation of these primitives. [breaking-change] Closes #17094 Closes #18003
