links to issues: #7065 the race that's fixed; #7066 the perf improvement I added. There are also some minor cleanup commits here.
To measure the performance improvement from replacing the exclusive with an atomic uint, I edited the ```msgsend-ring-rw-arcs``` bench test to do a ```write_downgrade``` instead of just a ```write```, so that it stressed the code paths that accessed ```read_count```. (At first I was still using ```write``` and saw no performance difference whatsoever, whoooops.)
The bench test measures how long it takes to send 1,000,000 messages by using rwarcs to emulate pipes. I also measured the performance difference imposed by the fix to the ```access_lock``` race (which involves taking an extra semaphore in the ```cond.wait()``` path). The net result is that fixing the race imposes a 4% to 5% slowdown, but doing the atomic uint optimization gives a 6% to 8% speedup.
Note that this speedup will be most visible in read- or downgrade-heavy workloads. If an RWARC's only users are writers, the optimization doesn't matter. All the same, I think this more than justifies the extra complexity I mentioned in #7066.
The raw numbers are:
```
with xadd read count
before write_cond fix
4.18 to 4.26 us/message
with write_cond fix
4.35 to 4.39 us/message
with exclusive read count
before write_cond fix
4.41 to 4.47 us/message
with write_cond fix
4.65 to 4.76 us/message
```
Implement conditional support in terminfo, along with a few other related operators.
Fix implementation of non-commutative arithmetic operators.
Remove all known cases of task failure from `terminfo::parm::expand`, and change the method signature.
Fix some other miscellaneous issues.
Implement the %?, %t, %e, and %; operators. Also implement the %<, %=,
%> operators, without which conditionals aren't very useful.
Fix the order of parameters for the arithmetic operators.
Implement the missing %^ operator.
Replace all potentially-failing operations with Err returns and add
tests.
Remove the Char parameter type; characters are represented as Numbers.
Fix integer constants to work properly when there are multiple constants
in the same capability string.
Tweak loop to use iterators instead of indexing into cap.
This fixes the strange random crashes in compile-fail tests.
This reverts commit 96cd61ad03.

The confusing mixture of byte index and character count meant that every
use of .substr was incorrect; replaced by slice_chars which only uses
character indices. The old behaviour of `.substr(start, n)` can be emulated
via `.slice_from(start).slice_chars(0, n)`.
This was a lot more painful than just changing `x.each` to `x.iter().advance` . I ran into my old friend #5898 and had to add underscores to some method names as a temporary workaround.
The borrow checker also had other ideas because rvalues aren't handled very well yet so temporary variables had to be added. However, storing the temporary in a variable led to dynamic `@mut` failures, so those had to be wrapped in blocks except where the scope ends immediately.
Anyway, the ugliness will be fixed as the compiler issues are fixed and this change will amount to `for x.each |x|` becoming `for x.iter |x|` and making all the iterator adaptors available.
I dropped the run-pass tests for `old_iter` because there's not much point in fixing a module that's on the way out in the next week or so.
OS X's terminfo uses the hex representation of the first character of
the terminal name as the directory name.
Ubuntu seems to use /lib/terminfo instead of /usr/share/terminfo, at
least on the one machine I have access to.
This removes some unnecessary allocations in the lexer, the typechecker and the metadata decoder. Reduces the time spent in the parsing and typechecking passes by about 10% for me.
Fix a laundry list of warnings involving unused imports that glutted
up compilation output. There are more, but there seems to be some
false positives (where 'remedy' appears to break the build), but this
particular set of fixes seems safe.

Previously, FromBase64 was only implemented on ~[u8] and ~str when
any pointer would do. The implementations of FromBase64 are now
consistent with the implementations of ToBase64.
This works with pandoc linked against highlighting-kate >= 0.5.3.8. It seems to just be a no-op with earlier versions, because I successfully ran this through `try`.
This also fixes some consistency issues (like making `Example`/`Examples` always a header and always using three tildes).
There were several old `#[doc(hidden)]` attributes in libstd and
libextra, left over from when rustdoc didn't hide private
definitions, tagged with `FIXME #3538`.
Since #3538 is now closed, I removed the `#[doc(hidden)]` attributes
as well as the FIXMEs, but I left `#[doc(hidden)]` in
libstd/task/spawn.rs and libstd/task/rt.rs since those two are
apparently `pub`, as well as in libextra/std.rc since std/extra is
`pub`.
mentioned in #2625.
This change makes the module more oriented around
Process values instead of having to deal with process ids
directly.
Apart from issues mentioned in #2625, other changes include:
- Changing the naming to be more consistent - Process/process
is now used instead of a mixture of Program/program and
Process/process.
- More docs/tests.
Some io/scheduler related issues remain (mentioned in #2625).
