The new semantics of this function are that the callbacks are run when the *main
thread* exits, not when all threads have exited. This implies that other threads
may still be running when the `at_exit` callbacks are invoked and users need to
be prepared for this situation.
Users in the standard library have been audited in accordance to these new rules
as well.
Closes#20012
This is an initial pass at stabilizing the `iter` module. The module is
fairly large, but is also pretty polished, so most of the stabilization
leaves things as they are.
Some changes:
* Due to the new object safety rules, various traits needs to be split
into object-safe traits and extension traits. This includes `Iterator`
itself. While splitting up the traits adds some complexity, it will
also increase flexbility: once we have automatic impls of `Trait` for
trait objects over `Trait`, then things like the iterator adapters
will all work with trait objects.
* Iterator adapters that use up the entire iterator now take it by
value, which makes the semantics more clear and helps catch bugs. Due
to the splitting of Iterator, this does not affect trait objects. If
the underlying iterator is still desired for some reason, `by_ref` can
be used. (Note: this change had no fallout in the Rust distro except
for the useless mut lint.)
* In general, extension traits new and old are following an [in-progress
convention](rust-lang/rfcs#445). As such, they
are marked `unstable`.
* As usual, anything involving closures is `unstable` pending unboxed
closures.
* A few of the more esoteric/underdeveloped iterator forms (like
`RandomAccessIterator` and `MutableDoubleEndedIterator`, along with
various unfolds) are left experimental for now.
* The `order` submodule is left `experimental` because it will hopefully
be replaced by generalized comparison traits.
* "Leaf" iterators (like `Repeat` and `Counter`) are uniformly
constructed by free fns at the module level. That's because the types
are not otherwise of any significance (if we had `impl Trait`, you
wouldn't want to define a type at all).
Closes#17701
Due to renamings and splitting of traits, this is a:
[breaking-change]
This commit adds a `AsInner` trait to `sys_common` and provides
implementations on many `std::io` types. This is a building block for
exposing platform-specific APIs that hook into `std::io` types.
This patch continues the runtime removal by moving and refactoring the
process implementation into the new `sys` module.
Because this eliminates APIs in `libnative` and `librustrt`, it is a:
[breaking-change]
This functionality is likely to be available publicly, in some form,
from `std` in the future.
