2014-11-24Merge libsync into libstdAaron Turon-828/+0
This patch merges the `libsync` crate into `libstd`, undoing part of the facade. This is in preparation for ultimately merging `librustrt`, as well as the upcoming rewrite of `sync`. Because this removes the `libsync` crate, it is a: [breaking-change] However, all uses of `libsync` should be able to reroute through `std::sync` and `std::comm` instead.
2014-11-17Switch to purely namespaced enumsSteven Fackler-0/+2
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to refer to the new locations: ``` pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = A; } ``` => ``` pub use self::Foo::{A, B}; pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = A; } ``` or ``` pub enum Foo { A, B } fn main() { let a = Foo::A; } ``` [breaking-change]
2014-11-12Fix remaining documentation to reflect fail!() -> panic!()Barosl Lee-2/+2
Throughout the docs, "failure" was replaced with "panics" if it means a task panic. Otherwise, it remained as is, or changed to "errors" to clearly differentiate it from a task panic.
2014-10-29Rename fail! to panic!Steve Klabnik-16/+16
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/221 The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other circumlocutions. Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate out a section describing the "Err-producing" case. We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe. To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead. Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this will work on UNIX based systems: grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g' You can of course also do this by hand.

2014-08-07Rename `Share` to `Sync`Alex Crichton-5/+5
This leaves the `Share` trait at `std::kinds` via a `#[deprecated]` `pub use` statement, but the `NoShare` struct is no longer part of `std::kinds::marker` due to #12660 (the build cannot bootstrap otherwise). All code referencing the `Share` trait should now reference the `Sync` trait, and all code referencing the `NoShare` type should now reference the `NoSync` type. The functionality and meaning of this trait have not changed, only the naming. Closes #16281 [breaking-change]

2014-07-26std: Stabilize unit, bool, ty, tuple, arc, anyAlex Crichton-9/+9
This commit applies stability attributes to the contents of these modules, summarized here: * The `unit` and `bool` modules have become #[unstable] as they are purely meant for documentation purposes and are candidates for removal. * The `ty` module has been deprecated, and the inner `Unsafe` type has been renamed to `UnsafeCell` and moved to the `cell` module. The `marker1` field has been removed as the compiler now always infers `UnsafeCell` to be invariant. The `new` method i stable, but the `value` field, `get` and `unwrap` methods are all unstable. * The `tuple` module has its name as stable, the naming of the `TupleN` traits as stable while the methods are all #[unstable]. The other impls in the module have appropriate stability for the corresponding trait. * The `arc` module has received the exact same treatment as the `rc` module previously did. * The `any` module has its name as stable. The `Any` trait is also stable, with a new private supertrait which now contains the `get_type_id` method. This is to make the method a private implementation detail rather than a public-facing detail. The two extension traits in the module are marked #[unstable] as they will not be necessary with DST. The `is` method is #[stable], the as_{mut,ref} methods have been renamed to downcast_{mut,ref} and are #[unstable]. The extension trait `BoxAny` has been clarified as to why it is unstable as it will not be necessary with DST. This is a breaking change because the `marker1` field was removed from the `UnsafeCell` type. To deal with this change, you can simply delete the field and only specify the value of the `data` field in static initializers. [breaking-change]
2014-06-29librustc: Remove the fallback to `int` for integers and `f64` forPatrick Walton-2/+2
floating point numbers for real. This will break code that looks like: let mut x = 0; while ... { x += 1; } println!("{}", x); Change that code to: let mut x = 0i; while ... { x += 1; } println!("{}", x); Closes #15201. [breaking-change]
2014-06-24librustc: Remove the fallback to `int` from typechecking.Niko Matsakis-18/+18
This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are: * `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`; * `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`; * `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`. RFC #30. Closes #6023. [breaking-change]
2014-06-18Fallout from TaskBuilder changesAaron Turon-6/+4
This commit brings code downstream of libstd up to date with the new TaskBuilder API.
2014-06-11sync: Move underneath libstdAlex Crichton-4/+12
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. [breaking-change]

2014-05-25Paper over privacy issues with Deref by changing field names.Huon Wilson-17/+22
Types that implement Deref can cause weird error messages due to their private fields conflicting with a field of the type they deref to, e.g., previously struct Foo { x: int } let a: Arc<Foo> = ...; println!("{}", a.x); would complain the the `x` field of `Arc` was private (since Arc has a private field called `x`) rather than just ignoring it. This patch doesn't fix that issue, but does mean one would have to write `a._ptr` to hit the same error message, which seems far less common. (This patch `_`-prefixes all private fields of `Deref`-implementing types.) cc #12808
2014-05-17std: Refactor liballoc out of lib{std,sync}Alex Crichton-1/+1
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.
2014-04-23Move task::task() to TaskBuilder::new()Steven Fackler-1/+2
The constructor for `TaskBuilder` is being changed to an associated function called `new` for consistency with the rest of the standard library. Closes #13666 [breaking-change]
2014-04-10std: Make std::comm return types consistentAlex Crichton-1/+1
There are currently a number of return values from the std::comm methods, not all of which are necessarily completely expressive: Sender::try_send(t: T) -> bool This method currently doesn't transmit back the data `t` if the send fails due to the other end having disconnected. Additionally, this shares the name of the synchronous try_send method, but it differs in semantics in that it only has one failure case, not two (the buffer can never be full). SyncSender::try_send(t: T) -> TrySendResult<T> This method accurately conveys all possible information, but it uses a custom type to the std::comm module with no convenience methods on it. Additionally, if you want to inspect the result you're forced to import something from `std::comm`. SyncSender::send_opt(t: T) -> Option<T> This method uses Some(T) as an "error value" and None as a "success value", but almost all other uses of Option<T> have Some/None the other way Receiver::try_recv(t: T) -> TryRecvResult<T> Similarly to the synchronous try_send, this custom return type is lacking in terms of usability (no convenience methods). With this number of drawbacks in mind, I believed it was time to re-work the return types of these methods. The new API for the comm module is: Sender::send(t: T) -> () Sender::send_opt(t: T) -> Result<(), T> SyncSender::send(t: T) -> () SyncSender::send_opt(t: T) -> Result<(), T> SyncSender::try_send(t: T) -> Result<(), TrySendError<T>> Receiver::recv() -> T Receiver::recv_opt() -> Result<T, ()> Receiver::try_recv() -> Result<T, TryRecvError> The notable changes made are: * Sender::try_send => Sender::send_opt. This renaming brings the semantics in line with the SyncSender::send_opt method. An asychronous send only has one failure case, unlike the synchronous try_send method which has two failure cases (full/disconnected). * Sender::send_opt returns the data back to the caller if the send is guaranteed to fail. This method previously returned `bool`, but then it was unable to retrieve the data if the data was guaranteed to fail to send. There is still a race such that when `Ok(())` is returned the data could still fail to be received, but that's inherent to an asynchronous channel. * Result is now the basis of all return values. This not only adds lots of convenience methods to all return values for free, but it also means that you can inspect the return values with no extra imports (Ok/Err are in the prelude). Additionally, it's now self documenting when something failed or not because the return value has "Err" in the name. Things I'm a little uneasy about: * The methods send_opt and recv_opt are not returning options, but rather results. I felt more strongly that Option was the wrong return type than the _opt prefix was wrong, and I coudn't think of a much better name for these methods. One possible way to think about them is to read the _opt suffix as "optionally". * Result<T, ()> is often better expressed as Option<T>. This is only applicable to the recv_opt() method, but I thought it would be more consistent for everything to return Result rather than one method returning an Option. Despite my two reasons to feel uneasy, I feel much better about the consistency in return values at this point, and I think the only real open question is if there's a better suffix for {send,recv}_opt. Closes #11527

2014-03-23sync: Introduce new wrapper types for lockingAlex Crichton-0/+816
This introduces new synchronization types which are meant to be the foundational building blocks for sharing data among tasks. The new Mutex and RWLock types have a type parameter which is the internal data that is accessed. Access to the data is all performed through the guards returned, and the guards all have autoderef implemented for easy access.
