The API documentation is not explicit enough that because `try!` returns
`Err` early for you, you can only use it in functions that return
`Result`. The book mentions this, but if you come across `try!` outside
of the book and look it up in the docs, this restriction on the return
type of the function is not particularly clear.
I seriously had this epiphany a few days ago after working with Rust for MONTHS, and after seeing [a friend have to come to the same realization](http://joelmccracken.github.io/entries/a-simple-web-app-in-rust-pt-2a/), I'd like to save more people from this confusion :) 💖

These are implemented in asm, they're just not inlined.
Open questions are:
* Should I just inline them? They're.. big, but it seems as though this needs violates the #[inline(always)] gaurantees the others make.
* Does something (llvm?) provide these as intrinsics? The structure of this code suggests that we could be hoisting off something else, instead of flagrantly ignoring it like we do for power and mips.
This takes the cases from `InvalidInput` where a data format error
was encountered. This is different from the documented semantics
of `InvalidInput`, which more likely indicate a programming error.
Fixesrust-lang/rfcs#906
Currently the compiler has no knowledge of `#[thread_local]` which forces users
to take on two burdens of unsafety:
* The lifetime of the borrow of a `#[thread_local]` static is **not** `'static`
* Types in `static`s are required to be `Sync`
The thread-local modules mostly curb these facets of unsafety by only allowing
very limited scopes of borrows as well as allowing all types to be stored in a
thread-local key (regardless of whether they are `Sync`) through an `unsafe
impl`.
Unfortunately these measures have the consequence of being able to take the
address of the key itself and send it to another thread, allowing the same key
to be accessed from two different threads. This is clearly unsafe, and this
commit fixes this problem with the same trick used by `LocalKey`, which is to
have an indirect function call to find the address of the *current thread's*
thread local. This way the address of thread local keys can safely be sent among
threads as their lifetime truly is `'static`.
This commit will reduce the performance of cross-crate scoped thread locals as
it now requires an indirect function call, but this can likely be overcome in a
future commit.
Closes#25894
This commit adds a ./configure option called `--disable-elf-tls` which disables
ELF based TLS (that which is communicated to LLVM) on platforms which already
support it. OSX 10.6 does not support this form of TLS, and some users of Rust
need to target 10.6 and are unable to do so due to the usage of TLS. The
standard library will continue to use ELF based TLS on OSX by default (as the
officially supported platform is 10.7+), but this adds an option to compile the
standard library in a way that is compatible with 10.6.
Closes#25342
The `HashMap` and `HashSet` iterators use `RawTable::first_bucket_raw` which is generic and will get inlined cross-crate.
However, `first_bucket_raw` calls `calculate_offsets` and the call doesn't get inlined, despite being a simple function.
This missing `#[inline]` results in `hash_table::calculate_offsets` showing up at the top of a callgrind profile with 3 million calls (for the testcase in #25916).
This commit implements a number of standard traits for the standard library's
process I/O handles. The `FromRaw{Fd,Handle}` traits are now implemented for the
`Stdio` type and the `AsRaw{Fd,Handle}` traits are now implemented for the
`Child{Stdout,Stdin,Stderr}` types.
The stability markers for these implementations mention that they are stable for
1.1 as I will nominate this commit for cherry-picking to beta.
This takes the cases from InvalidInput where a data format error
was encountered. This is different from the documented semantics
of InvalidInput, which more likely indicate a programming error.
The first commit simply forwards `io::Error`'s `cause` implementation to the inner error.
The second commit adds accessor methods for the inner error. Method names mirror those used elsewhere like `BufReader`.
