2015-03-30std: Stabilize the rest of Any/BoxAnyAlex Crichton-1/+0
This commit stabilizes the following APIs: * `TypeId::of` - now that it has an `Any` bound it's ready to be stable. * `Box<Any>::downcast` - now that an inherent impl on `Box<Any>` as well as `Box<Any+Send>` is allowed the `BoxAny` trait is removed in favor of these inherent methods. This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `BoxAny` trait, but consumers can simply remove imports to fix crates. [breaking-change]
2015-03-27rollup merge of #23752: alexcrichton/remove-should-failAlex Crichton-2/+2
This attribute has been deprecated in favor of #[should_panic]. This also updates rustdoc to no longer accept the `should_fail` directive and instead renames it to `should_panic`.
2015-03-27rollup merge of #23651: alexcrichton/unwind-tryAlex Crichton-0/+49
This commit provides a safe, but unstable interface for the `try` functionality of running a closure and determining whether it panicked or not. There are two primary reasons that this function was previously marked `unsafe`: 1. A vanilla version of this function exposes the problem of exception safety by allowing a bare try/catch in the language. It is not clear whether this concern should be directly tied to `unsafe` in Rust at the API level. At this time, however, the bounds on `ffi::try` require the closure to be both `'static` and `Send` (mirroring those of `thread::spawn`). It may be possible to relax the bounds in the future, but for now it's the level of safety that we're willing to commit to. 2. Panicking while panicking will leak resources by not running destructors. Because panicking is still controlled by the standard library, safeguards remain in place to prevent this from happening. The new API is now called `catch_panic` and is marked as `#[unstable]` for now.

2015-03-24Added `T:Send` bound to `JoinGuard<T>` to avoid specialized `Drop` impl.Felix S. Klock II-1/+1
2015-03-23Implement RFC 909: move thread_local into threadAaron Turon-0/+1026
This commit implements [RFC 909](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/909): The `std::thread_local` module is now deprecated, and its contents are available directly in `std::thread` as `LocalKey`, `LocalKeyState`, and `ScopedKey`. The macros remain exactly as they were, which means little if any code should break. Nevertheless, this is technically a: [breaking-change] Closes #23547
