2015-01-24Add ffi::OsString and OsStrAaron Turon-2/+13
Per [RFC 517](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/575/), this commit introduces platform-native strings. The API is essentially as described in the RFC. The WTF-8 implementation is adapted from @SimonSapin's [implementation](https://github.com/SimonSapin/rust-wtf8). To make this work, some encodign and decoding functionality in `libcore` is now exported in a "raw" fashion reusable for WTF-8. These exports are *not* reexported in `std`, nor are they stable.
2015-01-05std: Redesign c_str and c_vecAlex Crichton-1/+1
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 494][rfc] which removes the entire `std::c_vec` module and redesigns the `std::c_str` module as `std::ffi`. [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0494-c_str-and-c_vec-stability.md The interface of the new `CString` is outlined in the linked RFC, the primary changes being: * The `ToCStr` trait is gone, meaning the `with_c_str` and `to_c_str` methods are now gone. These two methods are replaced with a `CString::from_slice` method. * The `CString` type is now just a wrapper around `Vec<u8>` with a static guarantee that there is a trailing nul byte with no internal nul bytes. This means that `CString` now implements `Deref<Target = [c_char]>`, which is where it gains most of its methods from. A few helper methods are added to acquire a slice of `u8` instead of `c_char`, as well as including a slice with the trailing nul byte if necessary. * All usage of non-owned `CString` values is now done via two functions inside of `std::ffi`, called `c_str_to_bytes` and `c_str_to_bytes_with_nul`. These functions are now the one method used to convert a `*const c_char` to a Rust slice of `u8`. Many more details, including newly deprecated methods, can be found linked in the RFC. This is a: [breaking-change] Closes #20444

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. [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0503-prelude-stabilization.md [breaking-change] Closes #20068

2014-12-18libs: merge librustrt into libstdAaron Turon-0/+3
This commit merges the `rustrt` crate into `std`, undoing part of the facade. This merger continues the paring down of the runtime system. Code relying on the public API of `rustrt` will break; some of this API is now available through `std::rt`, but is likely to change and/or be removed very soon. [breaking-change]

2014-12-05std: Rewrite the `sync` moduleAlex Crichton-1/+4
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
2014-11-26auto merge of #19169 : aturon/rust/fds, r=alexcrichtonbors-5/+4
This PR adds some internal infrastructure to allow the private `std::sys` module to access internal representation details of `std::io`. It then exposes those details in two new, platform-specific API surfaces: `std::os::unix` and `std::os::windows`. To start with, these will provide the ability to extract file descriptors, HANDLEs, SOCKETs, and so on from `std::io` types. More functionality, and more specific platforms (e.g. `std::os::linux`) will be added over time. Closes #18897
2014-11-23std: Add a new top-level thread_local moduleAlex Crichton-0/+1
This commit removes the `std::local_data` module in favor of a new `std::thread_local` module providing thread local storage. The module provides two variants of TLS: one which owns its contents and one which is based on scoped references. Each implementation has pros and cons listed in the documentation. Both flavors have accessors through a function called `with` which yield a reference to a closure provided. Both flavors also panic if a reference cannot be yielded and provide a function to test whether an access would panic or not. This is an implementation of [RFC 461][rfc] and full details can be found in that RFC. This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `std::local_data` module. All users can migrate to the new thread local system like so: thread_local!(static FOO: Rc<RefCell<Option<T>>> = Rc::new(RefCell::new(None))) The old `local_data` module inherently contained the `Rc<RefCell<Option<T>>>` as an implementation detail which must now be explicitly stated by users.

2014-11-21sys: reveal std::io representation to sys moduleAaron Turon-5/+4
This commit adds a `AsInner` trait to `sys_common` and provides implementations on many `std::io` types. This is a building block for exposing platform-specific APIs that hook into `std::io` types.

2014-11-08Runtime removal: add private sys, sys_common modulesAaron Turon-0/+91
These modules will house the code that used to be part of the runtime system in libnative. The `sys_common` module contains a few low-level but cross-platform details. The `sys` module is set up using `#[cfg()]` to include either a unix or windows implementation of a common API surface. This API surface is *not* exported directly in `libstd`, but is instead used to bulid `std::os` and `std::io`. Ultimately, the low-level details in `sys` will be exposed in a controlled way through a separate platform-specific surface, but that setup is not part of this patch.
