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]
copy_mut_lifetime - #[unstable]
[breaking-change]
This adds a `TcpStream::connect_timeout` function in order to assist opening
connections with a timeout (cc #13523). There isn't really much design space for
this specific operation (unlike timing out normal blocking reads/writes), so I
am fairly confident that this is the correct interface for this function.
The function is marked #[experimental] because it takes a u64 timeout argument,
and the u64 type is likely to change in the future.
This appears to be causing the BSD bots to lock up when looking at the core
dumps I've managed to get. Dropping the `FileDesc` structure triggers the `Arc`
it's contained in to get cleaned up, invoking free(). This instead just closes
the file descriptor (the arc itself is never cleaned up).
I'm still not entirely sure why this is a problem because the pthreads runtime
should register hooks for fork() to prevent this sort of deadlock, but perhaps
that's only done on linux?
move errno -> IoError converter into std, bubble up OSRng errors
Also adds a general errno -> `~str` converter to `std::os`, and makes the failure messages for the things using `OSRng` (e.g. (transitively) the task-local RNG, meaning hashmap initialisation failures aren't such a black box).
It turns out that on linux, and possibly other platforms, child processes will
continue to accept signals until they have been *reaped*. This means that once
the child has exited, it will succeed to receive signals until waitpid() has
been invoked on it.
This is unfortunate behavior, and differs from what is seen on OSX and windows.
This commit changes the behavior of Process::signal() to be the same across
platforms, and updates the documentation of Process::kill() to note that when
signaling a foreign process it may accept signals until reaped.
Implementation-wise, this invokes waitpid() with WNOHANG before each signal to
the child to ensure that if the child has exited that we will reap it. Other
possibilities include installing a SIGCHLD signal handler, but at this time I
believe that that's too complicated.
Closes#13124
The OSX bots have been deadlocking recently in the rustdoc tests. I have only
been able to rarely reproduce the deadlock on my local setup. When reproduced,
it looks like the child process is spinning on the malloc mutex, which I
presume is locked with no other threads to unlock it.
I'm not convinced that this is what's happening, because OSX should protect
against this with pthread_atfork by default. Regardless, running as little code
as possible in the child after fork() is normally a good idea anyway, so this
commit moves all allocation to the parent process to run before the child
executes.
After running 6k iterations of rustdoc tests, this deadlocked twice before, and
after 20k iterations afterwards, it never deadlocked. I draw the conclusion that
this is either sweeping the bug under the rug, or it did indeed fix the
underlying problem.
This removes all usage of Poly in format strings from libstd. This doesn't
prevent more future strings from coming in, but it at least removes the ones for
now.
The std::run module is a relic from a standard library long since past, and
there's not much use to having two modules to execute processes with where one
is slightly more convenient. This commit merges the two modules, moving lots of
functionality from std::run into std::io::process and then deleting
std::run.
New things you can find in std::io::process are:
* Process::new() now only takes prog/args
* Process::configure() takes a ProcessConfig
* Process::status() is the same as run::process_status
* Process::output() is the same as run::process_output
* I/O for spawned tasks is now defaulted to captured in pipes instead of ignored
* Process::kill() was added (plus an associated green/native implementation)
* Process::wait_with_output() is the same as the old finish_with_output()
* destroy() is now signal_exit()
* force_destroy() is now signal_kill()
Closes#2625Closes#10016
Renamed the invert() function in iter.rs to flip().
Also renamed the Invert<T> type to Flip<T>.
Some related code comments changed. Documentation that I could find has
been updated, and all the instances I could locate where the
function/type were called have been updated as well.
Move the tests into libstd, use the `iotest!` macro to test both native and uv
bindings, and use the cloexec trick to figure out when the child process fails
in exec.
* vec::raw::to_ptr is gone
* Pausible => Pausable
* Removing @
* Calling the main task "<main>"
* Removing unused imports
* Removing unused mut
* Bringing some libextra tests up to date
* Allowing compiletest to work at stage0
* Fixing the bootstrap-from-c rmake tests
* assert => rtassert in a few cases
* printing to stderr instead of stdout in fail!()
This commit introduces a new crate called "native" which will be the crate that
implements the 1:1 runtime of rust. This currently entails having an
implementation of std::rt::Runtime inside of libnative as well as moving all of
the native I/O implementations to libnative.
The current snag is that the start lang item must currently be defined in
libnative in order to start running, but this will change in the future.
Cool fact about this crate, there are no extra features that are enabled.
Note that this commit does not include any makefile support necessary for
building libnative, that's all coming in a later commit.
