Instead of copy-pasting the whole macro_rules! item from the original .rs file,
we serialize a separate name, attributes list, and body, the latter as
pretty-printed TTs. The compilation of macro_rules! macros is decoupled
somewhat from the expansion of macros in item position.
This filters out comments, and facilitates selective imports.
Many of libstd's macros are now re-exported from libcore and libcollections.
Their libstd definitions have moved to a macros_stage0 module and can disappear
after the next snapshot.
Where the two crates had already diverged, I took the libstd versions as
they're generally newer and better-tested. See e.g. d3c831b, which was a fix to
libstd's assert_eq!() that didn't make it into libcore's.
Fixes#16806.
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
Strictly speaking, this is a [breaking-change] (if you are using
associated types). You are no longer free to wantonly violate the type
system rules by closing associated types into objects without any form
of region bound. Instead you should add region bounds like `T::X :
'a`, just as you would with a normal type parameter.
This commit moves the libserialize crate (and will force the hand of the
rustc-serialize crate) to not require the `old_orphan_check` feature gate as
well as using associated types wherever possible. Concretely, the following
changes were made:
* The error type of `Encoder` and `Decoder` is now an associated type, meaning
that these traits have no type parameters.
* The `Encoder` and `Decoder` type parameters on the `Encodable` and `Decodable`
traits have moved to the corresponding method of the trait. This movement
alleviates the dependency on `old_orphan_check` but implies that
implementations can no longer be specialized for the type of encoder/decoder
being implemented.
Due to the trait definitions changing, this is a:
[breaking-change]
The previous scheme made it possible for another user/attacker to cause the
temporary directory creation scheme to panic. All you needed to know was the pid
of the process you wanted to target ('other_pid') and the suffix it was using
(let's pretend it's 'sfx') and then code such as this would, in essence, DOS it:
for i in range(0u, 1001) {
let tp = &Path::new(format!("/tmp/rs-{}-{}-sfx", other_pid, i));
match fs::mkdir(tp, io::USER_RWX) { _ => () }
}
Since the scheme retried only 1000 times to create a temporary directory before
dying, the next time the attacked process called TempDir::new("sfx") after that
would typically cause a panic. Of course, you don't necessarily need an attacker
to cause such a DOS: creating 1000 temporary directories without closing any of
the previous would be enough to DOS yourself.
This patch broadly follows the OpenBSD implementation of mkstemp. It uses the
operating system's random number generator to produce random directory names
that are impractical to guess (and, just in case someone manages to do that, it
retries creating the directory for a long time before giving up; OpenBSD
retries INT_MAX times, although 1<<31 seems enough to thwart even the most
patient attacker).
As a small additional change, this patch also makes the argument that
TempDir::new takes a prefix rather than a suffix. This is because 1) it more
closely matches what mkstemp and friends do 2) if you're going to have a
deterministic part of a filename, you really want it at the beginning so that
shell completion is useful.
