I think this was just missed when `Send` and `Sync` were redone, since it seems odd to not be able to use things like `Arc<AtomicPtr>`. If it was intentional feel free to just close this.
I used another test as a template for writing mine, so I hope I got all the headers and stuff right.
As described in the module documentation, the memory orderings in Rust
are the same with that of LLVM. However, the documentation for the
memory orderings enum says the memory orderings are the same of that of
C++. Note that they differ in that C++'s support the consume reads,
while LLVM's does not. Hence this commit fixes the bug in the
documentation for the enum.
Namely:
* Change parameter `old` to read `current` so it is clearer what the argument refers to (originally
suggested `expected`, but shot down by Steve);
* Add some formatting and fix some mistakes like referring to the method as `swap` rather than
`compare_and_swap`.
An automated script was run against the `.rs` and `.md` files,
subsituting every occurrence of `task` with `thread`. In the `.rs`
files, only the texts in the comment blocks were affected.
This commit cleans out a large amount of deprecated APIs from the standard
library and some of the facade crates as well, updating all users in the
compiler and in tests as it goes along.
* The lint visitor's visit_ty method did not recurse, and had a
reference to the now closed#10894
* The newly enabled recursion has only affected the `deprectated` lint
which now detects uses of deprecated items in trait impls and
function return types
* Renamed some references to `CowString` and `CowVec` to `Cow<str>` and
`Cow<[T]>`, respectively, which appear outside of the crate which
defines them
* Replaced a few instances of `InvariantType<T>` with
`PhantomData<Cell<T>>`
* Disabled the `deprecated` lint in several places that
reference/implement traits on deprecated items which will get cleaned
up in the future
* Disabled the `exceeding_bitshifts` lint for
compile-fail/huge-array-simple test so it doesn't shadow the expected
error on 32bit systems
* Unfortunately, this means that if a library declares
`#![deny(deprecated)]` and marks anything as deprecated, it will have
to disable the lint for any uses of said item, e.g. any impl the now
deprecated item
For any library that denies deprecated items but has deprecated items
of its own, this is a [breaking-change]
These methods were intended to be stable as of #16258 but the tags have since
been lost in various refactorings. This commit re-adds the `#[stable]`
attributes to each of these functions.
This commit takes a first pass at stabilizing `std::thread`:
* It removes the `detach` method in favor of two constructors -- `spawn`
for detached threads, `scoped` for "scoped" (i.e., must-join)
threads. This addresses some of the surprise/frustrating debug
sessions with the previous API, in which `spawn` produced a guard that
on destruction joined the thread (unless `detach` was called).
The reason to have the division in part is that `Send` will soon not
imply `'static`, which means that `scoped` thread creation can take a
closure over *shared stack data* of the parent thread. On the other
hand, this means that the parent must not pop the relevant stack
frames while the child thread is running. The `JoinGuard` is used to
prevent this from happening by joining on drop (if you have not
already explicitly `join`ed.) The APIs around `scoped` are
future-proofed for the `Send` changes by taking an additional lifetime
parameter. With the current definition of `Send`, this is forced to be
`'static`, but when `Send` changes these APIs will gain their full
flexibility immediately.
Threads that are `spawn`ed, on the other hand, are detached from the
start and do not yield an RAII guard.
The hope is that, by making `scoped` an explicit opt-in with a very
suggestive name, it will be drastically less likely to be caught by a
surprising deadlock due to an implicit join at the end of a scope.
* The module itself is marked stable.
* Existing methods other than `spawn` and `scoped` are marked stable.
The migration path is:
```rust
Thread::spawn(f).detached()
```
becomes
```rust
Thread::spawn(f)
```
while
```rust
let res = Thread::spawn(f);
res.join()
```
becomes
```rust
let res = Thread::scoped(f);
res.join()
```
[breaking-change]
* The `sync` module is stable
* The `sync::mpsc` module is stable
* The `Sender::send` method is stable.
* The `Once::doit` method is now removed.
* Deprecated atomic initializers are removed.
* Renamed atomic initializers are now stable.
This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
This pass performs a second pass of stabilization through the `std::sync`
module, avoiding modules/types that are being handled in other PRs (e.g.
mutexes, rwlocks, condvars, and channels).
The following items are now stable
* `sync::atomic`
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_BOOL_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_BOOL`)
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_INT_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_INT`)
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_UINT_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_UINT`)
* `sync::Once`
* `sync::ONCE_INIT`
* `sync::Once::call_once` (was `doit`)
* C == `pthread_once(..)`
* Boost == `call_once(..)`
* Windows == `InitOnceExecuteOnce`
* `sync::Barrier`
* `sync::Barrier::new`
* `sync::Barrier::wait` (now returns a `bool`)
* `sync::Semaphore::new`
* `sync::Semaphore::acquire`
* `sync::Semaphore::release`
The following items remain unstable
* `sync::SemaphoreGuard`
* `sync::Semaphore::access` - it's unclear how this relates to the poisoning
story of mutexes.
* `sync::TaskPool` - the semantics of a failing task and whether a thread is
re-attached to a thread pool are somewhat unclear, and the
utility of this type in `sync` is question with respect to
the jobs of other primitives. This type will likely become
stable or move out of the standard library over time.
* `sync::Future` - futures as-is have yet to be deeply re-evaluated with the
recent core changes to Rust's synchronization story, and will
likely become stable in the future but are unstable until
that time comes.
