Some of the functions could be converted to rust, but the functions dealing with
signals were moved to rust_builtin.cpp instead (no reason to keep the original
file around for one function).
Closes#2674
While usage of change_dir_locked is synchronized against itself, it's not
synchronized against other relative path usage, so I'm of the opinion that it
just really doesn't help in running tests. In order to prevent the problems that
have been cropping up, this completely removes the function.
All existing tests (except one) using it have been moved to run-pass tests where
they get their own process and don't need to be synchronized with anyone else.
There is one now-ignored rustpkg test because when I moved it to a run-pass test
apparently run-pass isn't set up to have 'extern mod rustc' (it ends up having
linkage failures).
This PR fixes#7235 and #3371, which removes trailing nulls from `str` types. Instead, it replaces the creation of c strings with a new type, `std::c_str::CString`, which wraps a malloced byte array, and respects:
* No interior nulls
* Ends with a trailing null
cc #6004 and #3273
This is a rewrite of TLS to get towards not requiring `@` when using task local storage. Most of the rewrite is straightforward, although there are two caveats:
1. Changing `local_set` to not require `@` is blocked on #7673
2. The code in `local_pop` is some of the most unsafe code I've written. A second set of eyes should definitely scrutinize it...
The public-facing interface currently hasn't changed, although it will have to change because `local_data::get` cannot return `Option<T>`, nor can it return `Option<&T>` (the lifetime isn't known). This will have to be changed to be given a closure which yield `&T` (or as an Option). I didn't do this part of the api rewrite in this pull request as I figured that it could wait until when `@` is fully removed.
This also doesn't deal with the issue of using something other than functions as keys, but I'm looking into using static slices (as mentioned in the issues).
This sets the `get_tydesc()` return type correctly and removes the intrinsic module. See #3730, #3475.
Update: this now also removes the unused shape fields in tydescs.
Under valgrind on 64->32 cross compiles the dynamic linker is emitting
some error messages on stderr, which interferes with the tests that
are checking stderr.
