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).
Some unix platforms will send a SIGPIPE signal instead of returning EPIPE from a
syscall by default. The native runtime doesn't install a SIGPIPE handler,
causing the program to die immediately in this case. This brings the behavior in
line with libgreen by ignoring SIGPIPE and propagating EPIPE upwards to the
application in the form of an IoError.
Closes#13123

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.

* Remove clone-ability from all primitives. All shared state will now come
from the usage of the primitives being shared, not the primitives being
inherently shareable. This allows for fewer allocations for stack-allocated
primitives.
* Add `Mutex<T>` and `RWLock<T>` which are stack-allocated primitives for purely
wrapping a piece of data
* Remove `RWArc<T>` in favor of `Arc<RWLock<T>>`
* Remove `MutexArc<T>` in favor of `Arc<Mutex<T>>`
* Shuffle around where things are located
* The `arc` module now only contains `Arc`
* A new `lock` module contains `Mutex`, `RWLock`, and `Barrier`
* A new `raw` module contains the primitive implementations of `Semaphore`,
`Mutex`, and `RWLock`
* The Deref/DerefMut trait was implemented where appropriate
* `CowArc` was removed, the functionality is now part of `Arc` and is tagged
with `#[experimental]`.
* The crate now has #[deny(missing_doc)]
* `Arc` now supports weak pointers
This is not a large-scale rewrite of the functionality contained within the
`sync` crate, but rather a shuffling of who does what an a thinner hierarchy of
ownership to allow for better composability.
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.
The proper usage of shared types is now sharing through `&self` rather than
`&mut self` because the mutable version will provide stronger guarantees (no
aliasing on *any* thread).

The compiler will no longer inject libgreen as the default runtime for rust
programs, this commit switches it over to libnative by default. Now that
libnative has baked for some time, it is ready enough to start getting more
serious usage as the default runtime for rustc generated binaries.
We've found that there isn't really a correct decision in choosing a 1:1 or M:N
runtime as a default for all applications, but it seems that a larger number of
programs today would work more reasonable with a native default rather than a
green default.
With this commit come a number of bugfixes:
* The main native task is now named "<main>"
* The main native task has the stack bounds set up properly
* #[no_uv] was renamed to #[no_start]
* The core-run-destroy test was rewritten for both libnative and libgreen and
one of the tests was modified to be more robust.
* The process-detach test was locked to libgreen because it uses signal handling
This commit switches over the backtrace infrastructure from piggy-backing off
the RUST_LOG environment variable to using the RUST_BACKTRACE environment
variable (logging is now disabled in libstd).
This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external
crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros
and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are:
* The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It
has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost
exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the
end goals of this movement.
* The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the
__log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module
specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging
system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler
itself.
* Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a
magical crate map being available to set module log levels.
* If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's
no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the
highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should
be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one
provided in the rust distribution.
With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some
subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros:
* The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical
log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but
there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level
is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously
generated logging code looked like:
if specified_level <= __module_log_level() {
println!(...)
}
The newly generated code looks like:
if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL {
if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) {
println!(...)
}
}
Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in
that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of
checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have
logging turned on.
This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules
with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive
dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not).
Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but
runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code.
* A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules
that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the
log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally,
warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was
supplied.
The new "hello world" for logging looks like:
#[phase(syntax, link)]
extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("Hello, world!");
}
lint: add lint for use of a `~[T]`.
This is useless at the moment (since pretty much every crate uses
`~[]`), but should help avoid regressions once completely removed from a
crate.
This is something that is plausibly useful, and is provided by libuv. This is
not currently surfaced as part of the `TcpStream` type, but it may possibly
appear in the future. For now only the raw functionality is provided through the
Rtio objects.

When using tasks in Rust, the expectation is that the runtime does not exit
before all tasks have exited. This is enforced in libgreen through the
`SchedPool` type, and it is enforced in libnative through a `bookkeeping` module
and a global count/mutex pair. Unfortunately, this means that a process which
originates with libgreen will not wait for spawned native tasks.
In order to fix this problem, the bookkeeping module was moved from libnative to
libstd so the runtime itself can wait for native tasks to exit. Green tasks do
not manage themselves through this bookkeeping module, but native tasks will
continue to manage themselves through this module.

When the timer_helper thread exited, it would attempt to re-acquire the global
task count mutex, but the mutex had previously been deallocated, leading to
undefined behavior of the mutex, and in some cases deadlock.
Another mutex is used to coordinate shutting down the timer helper thread.

Using nanosleep() allows us to gracefully recover from EINTR because on error it
fills in the second parameter with the remaining time to sleep.

- Added `TraitObject` representation to `std::raw`.
- Added doc to `std::raw`.
- Removed `Any::as_void_ptr()` and `Any::as_mut_void_ptr()`
methods as they are uneccessary now after the removal of
headers on owned boxes. This reduces the number of virtual calls needed from 2 to 1.
- Made the `..Ext` implementations work directly with the repr of
a trait object.
- Removed `Any`-related traits from the prelude.
- Added bench.

I've been playing around with code size when linking to libstd recently, and these were some findings I found that really helped code size. I started out by eliminating all I/O implementations from libnative and instead just return an unimplemented error.
In doing so, a `fn main() {}` executable was ~378K before this patch, and about 170K after the patch. These size wins are all pretty minor, but they all seemed pretty reasonable to me. With native I/O not stubbed out, this takes the size of an LTO executable from 675K to 400K.
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.
There's a lot of these types in the compiler libraries, and a few of the
older or private stdlib ones. Some types are obviously meant to be
public, others not so much.
The compiler itself doesn't necessarily need any features of green threading
such as spawning tasks and lots of I/O, so libnative is slightly more
appropriate for rustc to use itself.
This should also help the rusti bot which is currently incompatible with libuv.
This commit splits the file implementation into file_unix and file_win32. The
two implementations have diverged to the point that they share almost 0 code at
this point, so it's easier to maintain as separate files.
The other major change accompanied with this commit is that file::open is no
longer based on libc's open function on windows, but rather windows's CreateFile
function. This fixes dealing with binary files on windows (test added in
previous commit).
This also changes the read/write functions to use ReadFile and WriteFile instead
of libc's read/write.
Closes#12406
Commits for details. Highlights:
- `flate` returns `CVec<u8>` to save reallocating a whole new `&[u8]`
- a lot of `transmute`s removed outright or replaced with `as` (etc.)
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()
