2014-06-13Audit usage of NativeMutexAlex Crichton-2/+9
Once a native mutex has been used once, it is never allowed to be moved again. This is because some pthreads implementations take pointers inside the mutex itself. This commit adds stern wording around the methods on native mutexes, and fixes one use case in the codebase. The Mutex type in libsync was susceptible to movement, so the inner static mutex is now boxed to ensure that the address of the native mutex is constant.
2014-06-11sync: Move underneath libstdAlex Crichton-11/+15
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]

2014-05-30std: Rename {Eq,Ord} to Partial{Eq,Ord}Alex Crichton-1/+1
This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord} or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}. cc #12517 [breaking-change]
2014-05-06librustc: Remove `~EXPR`, `~TYPE`, and `~PAT` from the language, exceptPatrick Walton-4/+4
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`.

2014-03-23sync: Move the Mutex type to using &selfAlex Crichton-0/+579
This also uses the Unsafe type for any interior mutability in the type to avoid transmutes.
