... to convert between Box and raw pointers. E. g. use
```
let b: Box<Foo> = Box::from_raw(p);
```
instead of
```
let b: Box<Foo> = mem::transmute(p);
```
Patch also changes closure release code in `src/libstd/sys/unix/thread.rs`
when `pthread_create` failed. Raw pointer was transmuted to box of
`FnOnce()` instead of `Thunk`. This code was probably never executed,
because `pthread_create` rarely fails in practice.
This is not a complete implementation of the RFC:
- only existing methods got updated, no new ones added
- doc comments are not extensive enough yet
- optimizations got lost and need to be reimplemented

Technically a
[breaking-change]
* Adds features and allows
* Removes unused muts, unused imports, dead code
* Migrates some deprecated code to new io/env
* Changes std::num::uint/int to be re-exports of std::num::usize/isize
libcollections, liballoc, and libcoretest no longer warn during testing.
libstd warns much less, though there's some dangly bits that weren't obvious fixes. In particular, how to only supress deprecated warnings in specific submodules of std.
This commit removes many unnecessary `unsafe impl` blocks as well as pushing the
needed implementations to the lowest level possible. I noticed that the bounds
for `RwLock` are a little off when reviewing #22574 and wanted to ensure that we
had our story straight on these implementations.
The windows/unix modules were currently inconsistent about the traits being
implemented for `DirEntry` and there isn't much particular reason why the traits
*couldn't* be implemented for `ReadDir` and `DirEntry`, so this commit ensures
that they are implemented.
Closes#22577
This commit stabilizes `std::borrow`, making the following modifications
to catch up the API with language changes:
* It renames `BorrowFrom` to `Borrow`, as was originally intended (but
blocked for technical reasons), and reorders the parameters
accordingly.
* It moves the type parameter of `ToOwned` to an associated type. This
is somewhat less flexible, in that each borrowed type must have a
unique owned type, but leads to a significant simplification for
`Cow`. Flexibility can be regained by using newtyped slices, which is
advisable for other reasons anyway.
* It removes the owned type parameter from `Cow`, making the type much
less verbose.
* Deprecates the `is_owned` and `is_borrowed` predicates in favor of
direct matching.
The above API changes are relatively minor; the basic functionality
remains the same, and essentially the whole module is now marked
`#[stable]`.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 592][r592] and [RFC 840][r840]. These
two RFCs tweak the behavior of `CString` and add a new `CStr` unsized slice type
to the module.
[r592]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0592-c-str-deref.md
[r840]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0840-no-panic-in-c-string.md
The new `CStr` type is only constructable via two methods:
1. By `deref`'ing from a `CString`
2. Unsafely via `CStr::from_ptr`
The purpose of `CStr` is to be an unsized type which is a thin pointer to a
`libc::c_char` (currently it is a fat pointer slice due to implementation
limitations). Strings from C can be safely represented with a `CStr` and an
appropriate lifetime as well. Consumers of `&CString` should now consume `&CStr`
instead to allow producers to pass in C-originating strings instead of just
Rust-allocated strings.
A new constructor was added to `CString`, `new`, which takes `T: IntoBytes`
instead of separate `from_slice` and `from_vec` methods (both have been
deprecated in favor of `new`). The `new` method returns a `Result` instead of
panicking. The error variant contains the relevant information about where the
error happened and bytes (if present). Conversions are provided to the
`io::Error` and `old_io::IoError` types via the `FromError` trait which
translate to `InvalidInput`.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of existing `#[unstable]` APIs
and new deprecation, and more detailed information can be found in the two RFCs.
Notable breakage includes:
* All construction of `CString` now needs to use `new` and handle the outgoing
`Result`.
* Usage of `CString` as a byte slice now explicitly needs a `.as_bytes()` call.
* The `as_slice*` methods have been removed in favor of just having the
`as_bytes*` methods.
