Believe or not, `CreateProcess()` is racy if several threads create
child processes: [0], [1], [2].
This caused some tests show crash dialogs during
`make check-stage#-rpass`.
More explanation:
On Windows, `SetErrorMode()` controls display of error dialogs: it
accepts new error mode and returns old error mode.
The error mode is process-global and automatically inherited to child
process when created.
MSYS2 bash shell internally sets it to not show error dialogs, therefore
`make check-stage#-rpass` should not show them either.
However, [1] says that `CreateProcess()` internally invokes
`SetErrorMode()` twice: at first it sets mode `0x8001` and saves
original mode, and at second it restores original mode.
So if two threads simultaneously call `CreateProcess()`, the first
thread sets error mode to `0x8001` then the second thread recognizes
that current error mode is `0x8001`. Therefore, The second thread will
create process with wrong error mode.
This really occurs inside `compiletest`: it creates several processes on
each thread, so some `run-pass` tests are invoked with wrong error mode
therefore show crash dialog.
This commit adds `StaticMutex` for `CreateProcess()` call. This seems
to fix the "dialog annoyance" issue.

This commit takes a first pass at stabilizing `std::thread`:
* It removes the `detach` method in favor of two constructors -- `spawn`
for detached threads, `scoped` for "scoped" (i.e., must-join)
threads. This addresses some of the surprise/frustrating debug
sessions with the previous API, in which `spawn` produced a guard that
on destruction joined the thread (unless `detach` was called).
The reason to have the division in part is that `Send` will soon not
imply `'static`, which means that `scoped` thread creation can take a
closure over *shared stack data* of the parent thread. On the other
hand, this means that the parent must not pop the relevant stack
frames while the child thread is running. The `JoinGuard` is used to
prevent this from happening by joining on drop (if you have not
already explicitly `join`ed.) The APIs around `scoped` are
future-proofed for the `Send` changes by taking an additional lifetime
parameter. With the current definition of `Send`, this is forced to be
`'static`, but when `Send` changes these APIs will gain their full
flexibility immediately.
Threads that are `spawn`ed, on the other hand, are detached from the
start and do not yield an RAII guard.
The hope is that, by making `scoped` an explicit opt-in with a very
suggestive name, it will be drastically less likely to be caught by a
surprising deadlock due to an implicit join at the end of a scope.
* The module itself is marked stable.
* Existing methods other than `spawn` and `scoped` are marked stable.
The migration path is:
```rust
Thread::spawn(f).detached()
```
becomes
```rust
Thread::spawn(f)
```
while
```rust
let res = Thread::spawn(f);
res.join()
```
becomes
```rust
let res = Thread::scoped(f);
res.join()
```

Both FreeBSD and DragonFly define pthread_key_t as int, while Linux
defines it as uint. As pthread_key_t is used as an opaque type and
storage size of both int and uint are the same, this is rather a
cosmetic change.
iOS uses ulong (as OS X) so difference is critical on 64bit platforms.
This calculates the width and height using the bounding box of the window in the buffer. Bounding box coordinates are inclusive so I have to add 1 to both dimensions.
fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 494][rfc] which removes the entire
`std::c_vec` module and redesigns the `std::c_str` module as `std::ffi`.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0494-c_str-and-c_vec-stability.md
The interface of the new `CString` is outlined in the linked RFC, the primary
changes being:
* The `ToCStr` trait is gone, meaning the `with_c_str` and `to_c_str` methods
are now gone. These two methods are replaced with a `CString::from_slice`
method.
* The `CString` type is now just a wrapper around `Vec<u8>` with a static
guarantee that there is a trailing nul byte with no internal nul bytes. This
means that `CString` now implements `Deref<Target = [c_char]>`, which is where
it gains most of its methods from. A few helper methods are added to acquire a
slice of `u8` instead of `c_char`, as well as including a slice with the
trailing nul byte if necessary.
* All usage of non-owned `CString` values is now done via two functions inside
of `std::ffi`, called `c_str_to_bytes` and `c_str_to_bytes_with_nul`. These
functions are now the one method used to convert a `*const c_char` to a Rust
slice of `u8`.
Many more details, including newly deprecated methods, can be found linked in
the RFC. This is a:
[breaking-change]
Closes#20444
This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
This modifies `Parser::eat_lt` to always split up `<<`s, instead of doing so only when a lifetime name followed or the `force` parameter (now removed) was `true`. This is because `Foo<<TYPE` is now a valid start to a type, whereas previously only `Foo<<LIFETIME` was valid.
This is a [breaking-change]. Change code that looks like this:
```rust
let x = foo as bar << 13;
```
to use parentheses, like this:
```rust
let x = (foo as bar) << 13;
```
Closes#17362.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization
story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports.
Some reexports are kept around, however:
* `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn.
* `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to
prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed.
* All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all
at once to `std::io::prelude::*`.
This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and
the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to
find the locations of where to import them.

This pass performs a second pass of stabilization through the `std::sync`
module, avoiding modules/types that are being handled in other PRs (e.g.
mutexes, rwlocks, condvars, and channels).
The following items are now stable
* `sync::atomic`
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_BOOL_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_BOOL`)
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_INT_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_INT`)
* `sync::atomic::ATOMIC_UINT_INIT` (was `INIT_ATOMIC_UINT`)
* `sync::Once`
* `sync::ONCE_INIT`
* `sync::Once::call_once` (was `doit`)
* C == `pthread_once(..)`
* Boost == `call_once(..)`
* Windows == `InitOnceExecuteOnce`
* `sync::Barrier`
* `sync::Barrier::new`
* `sync::Barrier::wait` (now returns a `bool`)
* `sync::Semaphore::new`
* `sync::Semaphore::acquire`
* `sync::Semaphore::release`
The following items remain unstable
* `sync::SemaphoreGuard`
* `sync::Semaphore::access` - it's unclear how this relates to the poisoning
story of mutexes.
* `sync::TaskPool` - the semantics of a failing task and whether a thread is
re-attached to a thread pool are somewhat unclear, and the
utility of this type in `sync` is question with respect to
the jobs of other primitives. This type will likely become
stable or move out of the standard library over time.
* `sync::Future` - futures as-is have yet to be deeply re-evaluated with the
recent core changes to Rust's synchronization story, and will
likely become stable in the future but are unstable until
that time comes.
[breaking-change]
This commit performs a second pass over the `std::thread_local` module. Most of
the functionality remains explicitly unstable, but the specific actions taken
were:
* `thread_local` is now stable
* `thread_local!` is now stable
* `thread_local::Key` is now stable
* `thread_local::Key::with` is now stable
* `thread_local::Key::destroyed` is deprecated in favor of a more general
`state` function
* `thread_local::Key::state` was added to query the three states that a key can
be in: uninitialized, valid, or destroyed. This function, and the
corresponding `State` enum, are both marked unstable as we may wish to expand
it later on.
* `thread_local::scoped` is entirely unstable. There hasn't been a whole lot of
usage of this module in the standard distribution, so it remains unstable at
this time.
Note that while the structure `Key` is marked stable, it is currently forced to
expose all of its implementation details due to the use of
construction-via-macro. The use of construction-via-macro is currently required
in order to place the `#[thread_local]` attribute on static in a
platform-specific manner. These stability attributes were assigned assuming that
it will be acceptable to tweak the implementation of `Key` in the future.
The new semantics of this function are that the callbacks are run when the *main
thread* exits, not when all threads have exited. This implies that other threads
may still be running when the `at_exit` callbacks are invoked and users need to
be prepared for this situation.
Users in the standard library have been audited in accordance to these new rules
as well.
Closes#20012
I've created a patch for #20226, which maps `EEXIST` to the `PathAlreadyExists` error on Unix. To test this, I use `mkdir`, which raises `EEXIST` if the directory already exists.
On Windows, I map `ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS` to `PathAlreadyExist`, but I am note sure if `mkdir` on Windows raises `ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS` and do not have a Windows installation handy for testing.
And I noticed another thing. No error seems to map to `IoErrorKind::PathDoesntExist` and I am wondering what the difference to `FileNotFound` is?
