If the TLS key is 0-sized, then the linux linker is apparently smart enough to
put everything at the same pointer. OSX on the other hand, will reserve some
space for all of them. To get around this, the TLS key now actuall consumes
space to ensure that it gets a unique pointer
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).
In an ideal world, the AST would be completely sendable, this gets us a step closer.
It removes the local heap allocations for `view_item`, `Path`, `Lifetime` `trait_ref` `OptVec<TyParamBounds>` and `Ty`. There are also a few other smaller changes I made as things went along.
Also, makes the pretty-printer use & instead of @ as much as possible,
which will help with later changes, though in the interim has produced
some... interesting constructs.
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.
This adds both `static mut` items and `static mut` foreign items. This involved changing far less code than I thought it was going to, but the tests seem to pass and the variables seem functional.
I'm more than willing to write more tests, so suggestions are welcome!
Closes#553
I removed the `static-method-test.rs` test because it was heavily based
on `BaseIter` and there are plenty of other more complex uses of static
methods anyway.
