This enables `num_milliseconds` to return an `i64` again instead of
`Option<i64>`, because it is guaranteed not to overflow.
The Duration range is now rougly 300e6 years (positive and negative),
whereas it was 300e9 years previously. To put these numbers in
perspective, 300e9 years is about 21 times the age of the universe
(according to Wolfram|Alpha). 300e6 years is about 1/15 of the age of
the earth (according to Wolfram|Alpha).
Pros:
I like this example because it's concise without being trivial. The Monty Hall example code is somewhat lengthy and possibly inaccessible to those unfamiliar with probability.
Cons:
The Monty Hall example already exists. Do we need another example? Also, this is probably inaccessible to people who don't know basic geometry.
int/uint aren't considered FFI safe, replace them with the actual type they
represent (i64/u64 or i32/u32). This is a breaking change, but at most a cast
to `uint` or `int` needs to be added.

As of RFC 18, struct layout is undefined. Opting into a C-compatible struct
layout is now down with #[repr(C)]. For consistency, specifying a packed
layout is now also down with #[repr(packed)]. Both can be specified.
To fix errors caused by this, just add #[repr(C)] to the structs, and change
#[packed] to #[repr(packed)]

This changes the internal representation of `Duration` from
days: i32,
secs: i32,
nanos: u32
to
secs: i64,
nanos: i32
This resolves#16466. Some methods now take `i64` instead of `i32` due
to the increased range. Some methods, like `num_milliseconds`, now
return an `Option<i64>` instead of `i64`, because the range of
`Duration` is now larger than e.g. 2^63 milliseconds.
The first commit improves code generation through a few changes:
- The `#[inline]` attributes allow llvm to constant fold the encoding step away in certain situations. For example, code like this changes from a call to `encode_utf8` in a inner loop to the pushing of a byte constant:
```rust
let mut s = String::new();
for _ in range(0u, 21) {
s.push_char('a');
}
```
- Both methods changed their semantic from causing run time failure if the target buffer is not large enough to returning `None` instead. This makes llvm no longer emit code for causing failure for these methods.
- A few debug `assert!()` calls got removed because they affected code generation due to unwinding, and where basically unnecessary with today's sound handling of `char` as a Unicode scalar value.
~~The second commit is optional. It changes the methods from regular indexing with the `dst[i]` syntax to unsafe indexing with `dst.unsafe_mut_ref(i)`. This does not change code generation directly - in both cases llvm is smart enough to see that there can never be an out-of-bounds access. But it makes it emit a `nounwind` attribute for the function.
However, I'm not sure whether that is a real improvement, so if there is any objection to this I'll remove the commit.~~
This changes how the methods behave on a too small buffer, so this is a
[breaking-change]
declared with the same name in the same scope.
This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:
use foo::bar;
use baz::bar;
Change this code to the following:
use baz::bar;
Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:
use foo::*; // including `bar`
use baz::bar;
Change this code to remove the glob:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz::bar;
Or qualify all uses of `bar`:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz;
... baz::bar ...
Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.
extern crate std;
Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.
The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.
This implements RFC #116.
Closes#16464.

- Both can now be inlined and constant folded away
- Both can no longer cause failure
- Both now return an `Option` instead
Removed debug `assert!()`s over the valid ranges of a `char`
- It affected optimizations due to unwinding
- Char handling is now sound enought that they became uneccessary
* Fix `LimitReader`'s `Buffer::consume` impl to avoid limit underflow
* Make `MultiWriter` fail fast instead of always running through each
`Writer`. This may or may not be what we want, but it at least
doesn't throw any errors encountered in later `Writer`s into oblivion.
* Prevent `IterReader`'s `Reader::read` impl from returning EOF if given
an empty buffer.

Put `Duration` in `time::duration`, where the two constants can
be called just `MAX` and `MIN`. Reexport from `time`.
This provides more room for the time module to expand.
Rename io::timer::sleep, Timer::sleep, Timer::oneshot,
Timer::periodic, to sleep_ms, oneshot_ms, periodic_ms. These functions
all take an integer and interpret it as milliseconds.
Replacement functions will be added that take Duration.

This required some contortions because importing both raw::Slice
and slice::Slice makes rustc crash.
Since `Slice` is in the prelude, this renaming is unlikely to
casue breakage.

ImmutableVector -> ImmutableSlice
ImmutableEqVector -> ImmutableEqSlice
ImmutableOrdVector -> ImmutableOrdSlice
MutableVector -> MutableSlice
MutableVectorAllocating -> MutableSliceAllocating
MutableCloneableVector -> MutableCloneableSlice
MutableOrdVector -> MutableOrdSlice
These are all in the prelude so most code will not break.
