2014-11-23	std: Add a new top-level thread_local module	Alex Crichton	-26/+0
	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.

2014-05-07	std: Modernize the local_data api	Alex Crichton	-8/+6
	This commit brings the local_data api up to modern rust standards with a few key improvements: * The `pop` and `set` methods have been combined into one method, `replace` * The `get_mut` method has been removed. All interior mutability should be done through `RefCell`. * All functionality is now exposed as a method on the keys themselves. Instead of importing std::local_data, you now use "key.replace()" and "key.get()". * All closures have been removed in favor of RAII functionality. This means that get() and get_mut() no long require closures, but rather return Option<SmartPointer> where the smart pointer takes care of relinquishing the borrow and also implements the necessary Deref traits * The modify() function was removed to cut the local_data interface down to its bare essentials (similarly to how RefCell removed set/get).

2013-10-01	remove the `float` type	Daniel Micay	-1/+1
	It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now. A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more numbers into SSE/AVX registers. If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`. Closes #6592 The mailing list thread, for reference: https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-July/004632.html
2013-09-25	Fix run-pass tests to have 'pub fn main'	Alex Crichton	-1/+1
	This is required by the check-fast target because each test is slurped up into a submodule.
2013-08-16	syntax: add a local_data_key macro that creates a key for access to the TLS.	Huon Wilson	-0/+28
	This allows the internal implementation details of the TLS keys to be changed without requiring the update of all the users. (Or, applying changes that have to be applied for the keys to work correctly, e.g. forcing LLVM to not merge these constants.)
