This adds an small of failure to libcore, hamstrung by the fact that std::fmt
hasn't been migrated yet. A few asserts were re-worked to not use std::fmt
features, but these asserts can go back to their original form once std::fmt has
migrated.
The current failure implementation is to just have some symbols exposed by
std::rt::unwind that are linked against by libcore. This is an explicit circular
dependency, unfortunately. This will be officially supported in the future
through compiler support with much nicer failure messages. Additionally, there
are two depended-upon symbols today, but in the future there will only be one
(once std::fmt has migrated).
for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

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).
Whenever a failure happens, if a program is run with
`RUST_LOG=std::rt::backtrace` a backtrace will be printed to the task's stderr
handle. Stack traces are uncondtionally printed on double-failure and
rtabort!().
This ended up having a nontrivial implementation, and here's some highlights of
it:
* We're bundling libbacktrace for everything but OSX and Windows
* We use libgcc_s and its libunwind apis to get a backtrace of instruction
pointers
* On OSX we use dladdr() to go from an instruction pointer to a symbol
* On unix that isn't OSX, we use libbacktrace to get symbols
* Windows, as usual, has an entirely separate implementation
Lots more fun details and comments can be found in the source itself.
Closes#10128
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.
This will hopefully bring us closer to #11937. We're still using gcc's idea of
"startup files", but this should prevent us from leaking in dependencies that we
don't quite want (libgcc for example once compiler-rt is what we use).
This, the Nth rewrite of channels, is not a rewrite of the core logic behind
channels, but rather their API usage. In the past, we had the distinction
between oneshot, stream, and shared channels, but the most recent rewrite
dropped oneshots in favor of streams and shared channels.
This distinction of stream vs shared has shown that it's not quite what we'd
like either, and this moves the `std::comm` module in the direction of "one
channel to rule them all". There now remains only one Chan and one Port.
This new channel is actually a hybrid oneshot/stream/shared channel under the
hood in order to optimize for the use cases in question. Additionally, this also
reduces the cognitive burden of having to choose between a Chan or a SharedChan
in an API.
My simple benchmarks show no reduction in efficiency over the existing channels
today, and a 3x improvement in the oneshot case. I sadly don't have a
pre-last-rewrite compiler to test out the old old oneshots, but I would imagine
that the performance is comparable, but slightly slower (due to atomic reference
counting).
This commit also brings the bonus bugfix to channels that the pending queue of
messages are all dropped when a Port disappears rather then when both the Port
and the Chan disappear.
* All I/O now returns IoResult<T> = Result<T, IoError>
* All formatting traits now return fmt::Result = IoResult<()>
* The if_ok!() macro was added to libstd
This ends up saving a single `call` instruction in the optimised code,
but saves a few hundred lines of non-optimised IR for `fn main() {
fail!("foo {}", "bar"); }` (comparing against the minimal generic
baseline from the parent commit).
This splits the vast majority of the code path taken by
`fail!()` (`begin_unwind`) into a separate non-generic inline(never)
function, so that uses of `fail!()` only monomorphise a small amount of
code, reducing code bloat and making very small crates compile faster.
The failure functions are generic, meaning they're candidates for getting
inlined across crates. This has been happening, leading to monstrosities like
that found in #11549. I have verified that the codegen is *much* better now that
we're not inlining the failure path (the slow path).
This will allow capturing of common things like logging messages, stdout prints
(using stdio println), and failure messages (printed to stderr). Any new prints
added to libstd should be funneled through these task handles to allow capture
as well.
Additionally, this commit redirects logging back through a `Logger` trait so the
log level can be usefully consumed by an arbitrary logger.
This commit also introduces methods to set the task-local stdout handles:
* std::io::stdio::set_stdout
* std::io::stdio::set_stderr
* std::io::logging::set_logger
These methods all return the previous logger just in case it needs to be used
for inspection.
I plan on using this infrastructure for extra::test soon, but we don't quite
have the primitives that I'd like to use for it, so it doesn't migrate
extra::test at this time.

Previously this was an rtabort!, indicating a runtime bug. Promote
this to a more intentional abort and print a (slightly) more
informative error message.
Can't test this sense our test suite can't handle an abort exit.

This extracts everything related to green scheduling from libstd and introduces
a new libgreen crate. This mostly involves deleting most of std::rt and moving
it to libgreen.
Along with the movement of code, this commit rearchitects many functions in the
scheduler in order to adapt to the fact that Local::take now *only* works on a
Task, not a scheduler. This mostly just involved threading the current green
task through in a few locations, but there were one or two spots where things
got hairy.
There are a few repercussions of this commit:
* tube/rc have been removed (the runtime implementation of rc)
* There is no longer a "single threaded" spawning mode for tasks. This is now
encompassed by 1:1 scheduling + communication. Convenience methods have been
introduced that are specific to libgreen to assist in the spawning of pools of
schedulers.
