Been meaning to try my hand at something like this for a while, and noticed something similar mentioned as part of #13537. The suggestion on the original ticket is to use `TcpStream::open(&str)` to pass in a host + port string, but seems a little cleaner to pass in host and port separately -- so a signature like `TcpStream::open(&str, u16)`.
Also means we can use std::io::net::addrinfo directly instead of using e.g. liburl to parse the host+port pair from a string.
One outstanding issue in this PR that I'm not entirely sure how to address: in open_timeout, the timeout_ms will apply for every A record we find associated with a hostname -- probably not the intended behavior, but I didn't want to waste my time on elaborate alternatives until the general idea was a-OKed. :)
Anyway, perhaps there are other reasons for us to prefer the original proposed syntax, but thought I'd get some thoughts on this. Maybe there are some solid reasons to prefer using liburl to do this stuff.
Prior to this commit, TcpStream::connect and TcpListener::bind took a
single SocketAddr argument. This worked well enough, but the API felt a
little too "low level" for most simple use cases.
A great example is connecting to rust-lang.org on port 80. Rust users would
need to:
1. resolve the IP address of rust-lang.org using
io::net::addrinfo::get_host_addresses.
2. check for errors
3. if all went well, use the returned IP address and the port number
to construct a SocketAddr
4. pass this SocketAddr to TcpStream::connect.
I'm modifying the type signature of TcpStream::connect and
TcpListener::bind so that the API is a little easier to use.
TcpStream::connect now accepts two arguments: a string describing the
host/IP of the host we wish to connect to, and a u16 representing the
remote port number.
Similarly, TcpListener::bind has been modified to take two arguments:
a string describing the local interface address (e.g. "0.0.0.0" or
"127.0.0.1") and a u16 port number.
Here's how to port your Rust code to use the new TcpStream::connect API:
// old ::connect API
let addr = SocketAddr{ip: Ipv4Addr{127, 0, 0, 1}, port: 8080};
let stream = TcpStream::connect(addr).unwrap()
// new ::connect API (minimal change)
let addr = SocketAddr{ip: Ipv4Addr{127, 0, 0, 1}, port: 8080};
let stream = TcpStream::connect(addr.ip.to_str(), addr.port()).unwrap()
// new ::connect API (more compact)
let stream = TcpStream::connect("127.0.0.1", 8080).unwrap()
// new ::connect API (hostname)
let stream = TcpStream::connect("rust-lang.org", 80)
Similarly, for TcpListener::bind:
// old ::bind API
let addr = SocketAddr{ip: Ipv4Addr{0, 0, 0, 0}, port: 8080};
let mut acceptor = TcpListener::bind(addr).listen();
// new ::bind API (minimal change)
let addr = SocketAddr{ip: Ipv4Addr{0, 0, 0, 0}, port: 8080};
let mut acceptor = TcpListener::bind(addr.ip.to_str(), addr.port()).listen()
// new ::bind API (more compact)
let mut acceptor = TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0", 8080).listen()

The `FileStat` struct contained a `path` field, which was filled by the
`stat` and `lstat` function. Since this field isn't in fact returned by
the operating system (it was copied from the paths passed to the
functions) it was removed, as in the `fstat` case we aren't working with
a `Path`, but directly with a fd.
If your code used the `path` field of `FileStat` you will now have to
manually store the path passed to `stat` along with the returned struct.

Despite implementing the Container trait, StrBuf did not implement the Mutable trait and had no clear method; this request implements the clear method of the Mutable trait for StrBuf.
Testing done: added a test and ran `make check` without any failures.
This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes
all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely,
folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate
of each function in the `cast` module.
* transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as
#[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute`
function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment).
For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898
* transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is
is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different
sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This
function is now #[stable]
* forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable]
* bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of
managed boxes as well as its questionable utility.
* transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part
of this commit.
* transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it
can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was
removed.
* transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong
indication that code is incorrect in the first place.
* transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as
`transmute_lifetime`
* copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked
`#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in
the future if it is found to not be very useful.
* copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same
treatment as `copy_lifetime`.
* copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today,
and its existence is not necessary with DST
(copy_lifetime will suffice).
In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the
functions were moved to the `mem` module.
transmute - #[unstable]
transmute_copy - #[stable]
forget - #[stable]
copy_lifetime - #[unstable]

In stage0, all allocations are 8-byte aligned. Passing a size and
alignment to free is not yet implemented everywhere (0 size and 8 align
are used as placeholders). Fixing this is part of #13994.

This adds a `std::rt::heap` module with a nice allocator API. It's a
step towards fixing #13094 and is a starting point for working on a
generic allocator trait.

This was intended as part of the I/O timeouts commit, but it was mistakenly
forgotten. The type of the timeout argument is not guaranteed to remain constant
into the future.
With `~[T]` no longer growable, the `FromIterator` impl for `~[T]` doesn't make
much sense. Not only that, but nearly everywhere it is used is to convert from
a `Vec<T>` into a `~[T]`, for the sake of maintaining existing APIs. This turns
out to be a performance loss, as it means every API that returns `~[T]`, even a
supposedly non-copying one, is in fact doing extra allocations and memcpy's.
Even `&[T].to_owned()` is going through `Vec<T>` first.
Remove the `FromIterator` impl for `~[T]`, and adjust all the APIs that relied
on it to start using `Vec<T>` instead. This includes rewriting
`&[T].to_owned()` to be more efficient, among other performance wins.
Also add a new mechanism to go from `Vec<T>` -> `~[T]`, just in case anyone
truly needs that, using the new trait `FromVec`.

This code does not belong in libstd, and rather belongs in a dedicated crate. In
the future, the syntax::ext::format module should move to the fmt_macros crate
(hence the name of the crate), but for now the fmt_macros crate will only
contain the format string parser.
The entire fmt_macros crate is marked #[experimental] because it is not meant
for general consumption, only the format!() interface is officially supported,
not the internals.
This is a breaking change for anyone using the internals of std::fmt::parse.
Some of the flags have moved to std::fmt::rt, while the actual parsing support
has all moved to the fmt_macros library.

There was no reason to remove them from slice. They're testing methods
defined in slice, so that's where they belong.
Leave vec with copies of the partition/partitioned tests because it has
its own implementation of those methods.
Add a new trait FromVec with one self-less method from_vec(). This is
kind of like FromIterator, but it consumes a Vec<T>. It's only
implemented for ~[T], but the idea is post-DST it can be implemented for
any Boxed<[T]>.
