/*! Runtime support for message passing with protocol enforcement.


Pipes consist of two endpoints. One endpoint can send messages and
the other can receive messages. The set of legal messages and which
directions they can flow at any given point are determined by a
protocol. Below is an example protocol.

~~~
proto! pingpong {
    ping: send {
        ping -> pong
    }
    pong: recv {
        pong -> ping
    }
}
~~~

The `proto!` syntax extension will convert this into a module called
`pingpong`, which includes a set of types and functions that can be
used to write programs that follow the pingpong protocol.

*/

/* IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

The initial design for this feature is available at:

https://github.com/eholk/rust/wiki/Proposal-for-channel-contracts

Much of the design in that document is still accurate. There are
several components for the pipe implementation. First of all is the
syntax extension. To see how that works, it is best see comments in
libsyntax/ext/pipes.rs.

This module includes two related pieces of the runtime
implementation: support for unbounded and bounded
protocols. The main difference between the two is the type of the
buffer that is carried along in the endpoint data structures.


The heart of the implementation is the packet type. It contains a
header and a payload field. Much of the code in this module deals with
the header field. This is where the synchronization information is
stored. In the case of a bounded protocol, the header also includes a
pointer to the buffer the packet is contained in.

Packets represent a single message in a protocol. The payload field
gets instatiated at the type of the message, which is usually an enum
generated by the pipe compiler. Packets are conceptually single use,
although in bounded protocols they are reused each time around the
loop.


Packets are usually handled through a send_packet_buffered or
recv_packet_buffered object. Each packet is referenced by one
send_packet and one recv_packet, and these wrappers enforce that only
one end can send and only one end can receive. The structs also
include a destructor that marks packets are terminated if the sender
or receiver destroys the object before sending or receiving a value.

The *_packet_buffered structs take two type parameters. The first is
the message type for the current packet (or state). The second
represents the type of the whole buffer. For bounded protocols, the
protocol compiler generates a struct with a field for each protocol
state. This generated struct is used as the buffer type parameter. For
unbounded protocols, the buffer is simply one packet, so there is a
shorthand struct called send_packet and recv_packet, where the buffer
type is just `packet<T>`. Using the same underlying structure for both
bounded and unbounded protocols allows for less code duplication.
