Apparently windows doesn't like reading from stdin with a large buffer size, and
it also apparently is ok with a smaller buffer size. This changes the reader
returned by stdin() to return an 8k buffered reader for stdin rather than a 64k
buffered reader.
Apparently libuv has run into this before, taking a peek at their code, with a
specific comment in their console code saying that "ReadConsole can't handle big
buffers", which I presume is related to invoking ReadFile as if it were a file
descriptor.

`Reader`, `Writer`, `MemReader`, `MemWriter`, and `MultiWriter` now work with `Vec<u8>` instead of `~[u8]`. This does introduce some extra copies since `from_utf8_owned` isn't usable anymore, but I think that can't be helped until `~str`'s representation changes.
move errno -> IoError converter into std, bubble up OSRng errors
Also adds a general errno -> `~str` converter to `std::os`, and makes the failure messages for the things using `OSRng` (e.g. (transitively) the task-local RNG, meaning hashmap initialisation failures aren't such a black box).
The various ...Rng::new() methods can hit IO errors from the OSRng they use,
and it seems sensible to expose them at a higher level. Unfortunately, writing
e.g. `StdRng::new().unwrap()` gives a much poorer error message than if it
failed internally, but this is a problem with all `IoResult`s.
This removes the `attr` matcher and adds a `meta` matcher. The previous `attr`
matcher is now ambiguous because it doesn't disambiguate whether it means inner
attribute or outer attribute.
The new behavior can still be achieved by taking an argument of the form
`#[$foo:meta]` (the brackets are part of the macro pattern).

It turns out that on linux, and possibly other platforms, child processes will
continue to accept signals until they have been *reaped*. This means that once
the child has exited, it will succeed to receive signals until waitpid() has
been invoked on it.
This is unfortunate behavior, and differs from what is seen on OSX and windows.
This commit changes the behavior of Process::signal() to be the same across
platforms, and updates the documentation of Process::kill() to note that when
signaling a foreign process it may accept signals until reaped.
Implementation-wise, this invokes waitpid() with WNOHANG before each signal to
the child to ensure that if the child has exited that we will reap it. Other
possibilities include installing a SIGCHLD signal handler, but at this time I
believe that that's too complicated.
Closes#13124
This commit contains an implementation of synchronous, bounded channels for
Rust. This is an implementation of the proposal made last January [1]. These
channels are built on mutexes, and currently focus on a working implementation
rather than speed. Receivers for sync channels have select() implemented for
them, but there is currently no implementation of select() for sync senders.
Rust will continue to provide both synchronous and asynchronous channels as part
of the standard distribution, there is no intent to remove asynchronous
channels. This flavor of channels is meant to provide an alternative to
asynchronous channels because like green tasks, asynchronous channels are not
appropriate for all situations.

`Vec` is now used for the internal buffer instead of `~[]`. Some module
level documentation somehow ended up attached to `BufferedReader` so I
fixed that as well.
I've found a common use case being to fill a slice (not an owned vector)
completely with bytes. It's posible for short reads to happen, and if you're
trying to get an exact number of bytes then this helper will be useful.
These methods can be mistaken for general "read some bytes" utilities when
they're actually only meant for reading an exact number of bytes. By renaming
them it's much clearer about what they're doing without having to read the
documentation.

this comes from a discussion on IRC where the split between stdin and stdout
seemed unnatural, and the fact that reading on stdin won't flush stdout, which
is unlike every other language (including C's stdio).
This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external
crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros
and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are:
* The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It
has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost
exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the
end goals of this movement.
* The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the
__log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module
specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging
system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler
itself.
* Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a
magical crate map being available to set module log levels.
* If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's
no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the
highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should
be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one
provided in the rust distribution.
With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some
subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros:
* The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical
log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but
there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level
is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously
generated logging code looked like:
if specified_level <= __module_log_level() {
println!(...)
}
The newly generated code looks like:
if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL {
if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) {
println!(...)
}
}
Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in
that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of
checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have
logging turned on.
This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules
with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive
dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not).
Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but
runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code.
* A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules
that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the
log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally,
warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was
supplied.
The new "hello world" for logging looks like:
#[phase(syntax, link)]
extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("Hello, world!");
}
This commit shreds all remnants of libextra from the compiler and standard
distribution. Two modules, c_vec/tempfile, were moved into libstd after some
cleanup, and the other modules were moved to separate crates as seen fit.

This is something that is plausibly useful, and is provided by libuv. This is
not currently surfaced as part of the `TcpStream` type, but it may possibly
appear in the future. For now only the raw functionality is provided through the
Rtio objects.

As mentioned in #6109, ```mkdir_recursive``` doesn't really need to use recursive calls, so here is an iterative version.
The other points of the proposed overhaul (renaming and existing permissions) still need to be resolved.
I also bundled an iterative ```rmdir_recursive```, for the same reason.
Please do not hesitate to provide feedback on style as this is my first code change in rust.
Most IO related functions return an IoResult so that the caller can handle failure in whatever way is appropriate. However, the `lines`, `bytes`, and `chars` iterators all supress errors. This means that code that needs to handle errors can't use any of these iterators. All three of these iterators were updated to produce IoResults.
Fixes#12368
