2014-02-18Spellcheck library docs.Huon Wilson-1/+1
2014-02-15auto merge of #12235 : huonw/rust/raii-lock, r=alexcrichtonbors-5/+6
- adds a `LockGuard` type returned by `.lock` and `.trylock` that unlocks the mutex in the destructor - renames `mutex::Mutex` to `StaticNativeMutex` - adds a `NativeMutex` type with a destructor - removes `LittleLock` - adds `#[must_use]` to `sync::mutex::Guard` to remind people to use it
2014-02-16sync: Add `#[must_use]` to the Mutex guard.Huon Wilson-0/+1
This helps people remember to save the return value to keep the mutex locked as appropriate.
2014-02-16std: Rename unstable::mutex::Mutex to StaticNativeMutex.Huon Wilson-3/+3
This better reflects its purpose and design.
2014-02-16std: add an RAII unlocker to Mutex.Huon Wilson-2/+2
This automatically unlocks its lock when it goes out of scope, and provides a safe(ish) method to call .wait.
2014-02-14extern mod => extern crateAlex Crichton-1/+1
This was previously implemented, and it just needed a snapshot to go through
2014-02-11Rewrite channels yet again for upgradeabilityAlex Crichton-4/+4
This, the Nth rewrite of channels, is not a rewrite of the core logic behind channels, but rather their API usage. In the past, we had the distinction between oneshot, stream, and shared channels, but the most recent rewrite dropped oneshots in favor of streams and shared channels. This distinction of stream vs shared has shown that it's not quite what we'd like either, and this moves the `std::comm` module in the direction of "one channel to rule them all". There now remains only one Chan and one Port. This new channel is actually a hybrid oneshot/stream/shared channel under the hood in order to optimize for the use cases in question. Additionally, this also reduces the cognitive burden of having to choose between a Chan or a SharedChan in an API. My simple benchmarks show no reduction in efficiency over the existing channels today, and a 3x improvement in the oneshot case. I sadly don't have a pre-last-rewrite compiler to test out the old old oneshots, but I would imagine that the performance is comparable, but slightly slower (due to atomic reference counting). This commit also brings the bonus bugfix to channels that the pending queue of messages are all dropped when a Port disappears rather then when both the Port and the Chan disappear.
2014-02-11Move replace and swap to std::mem. Get rid of std::utilEdward Wang-2/+2
Also move Void to std::any, move drop to std::mem and reexport in prelude.
