This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

Replace its usage with byte string literals, except in `bytes!()` tests.
Also add a new snapshot, to be able to use the new b"foo" syntax.

Forking off a child which survives the parent is often a useful task, and is
currently not possible because the Process type will invoke `wait()` in its
destructor in order to prevent leaking resources. This function adds a new safe
method, `forget`, which can be used to consume an instance of `Process` which
will then not call `wait` in the destructor.
This new method is clearly documented as a leak of resources, but it must be
forcibly opted in to.

This PR adds two features to make it possible to transform an `Iterator<u8>` into a `Reader`. The first patch adds a method to mutable slices that allows it to be updated with an `Iterator<T>` without paying for the bounds cost. The second adds a Iterator adaptor, `IterReader`, to provide that `Reader` interface.
I had two questions. First, are these named the right things? Second, should `IterReader` instead wrap an `Iterator<Result<u8, E>>`? This would allow you to `IterReader::new(rdr.bytes())`, which could be useful if you want to apply some iterator transformations on a reader while still exporting the Reader interface, but I'd expect there'd be a lot of overhead annotating each byte with an error result.
This commit removes the <M: Any + Send> type parameter from Option::expect in
favor of just taking a hard-coded `&str` argument. This allows this function to
move into libcore.
Previous code using strings with `expect` will continue to work, but code using
this implicitly to transmit task failure will need to unwrap manually with a
`match` statement.

This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more

This plugs a leak where resolve was treating enums defined in parent modules as

eliminates the code path in resolve entirely.
If this breaks any existing code, then it indicates that the variants need to be

1. Wherever the `buf` field of a `Formatter` was used, the `Formatter` is used
instead.
2. The usage of `write_fmt` is minimized as much as possible, the `write!` macro
is preferred wherever possible.
3. Usage of `fmt::write` is minimized, favoring the `write!` macro instead.
This new method, write_fmt(), is the one way to write a formatted list of
arguments into a Writer stream. This has a special adaptor to preserve errors
which occur on the writer.
All macros will be updated to use this method explicitly.
After discussion with Alex, we think the proper policy is for dtors
to not fail. This is consistent with C++. BufferedWriter already
does this, so this patch modifies TempDir to not fail in the dtor,
adding a `close` method for handling errors on destruction.
The existing APIs for spawning processes took strings for the command
and arguments, but the underlying system may not impose utf8 encoding,
so this is overly limiting.
The assumption we actually want to make is just that the command and
arguments are viewable as [u8] slices with no interior NULLs, i.e., as
CStrings. The ToCStr trait is a handy bound for types that meet this
requirement (such as &str and Path).
However, since the commands and arguments are often a mixture of
strings and paths, it would be inconvenient to take a slice with a
single T: ToCStr bound. So this patch revamps the process creation API
to instead use a builder-style interface, called `Command`, allowing
arguments to be added one at a time with differing ToCStr
implementations for each.
The initial cut of the builder API has some drawbacks that can be
addressed once issue #13851 (libstd as a facade) is closed. These are
detailed as FIXMEs.

I feel that this is a very vital, missing piece of functionality. This adds on to #13072.
Only bits used in the definition of the bitflag are considered for the universe set. This is a bit safer than simply inverting all of the bits in the wrapped value.

FlagB = 0x00000010,
FlagC = 0x00000100,
FlagABC = FlagA.bits
| FlagB.bits
| FlagC.bits
})
...
// `Not` implements set complement
assert!(!(FlagB | FlagC) == FlagA);
// `all` and `is_all` are the inverses of `empty` and `is_empty`
assert!(Flags::all() - FlagA == !FlagA);

Reader.read_at_least() ensures that at least a given number of bytes
have been read. The most common use-case for this is ensuring at least 1
byte has been read. If the reader returns 0 enough times in a row, a new
error kind NoProgress will be returned instead of looping infinitely.
This change is necessary in order to properly support Readers that
repeatedly return 0, either because they're broken, or because they're
attempting to do a non-blocking read on some resource that never becomes
available.
Also add .push() and .push_at_least() methods. push() is like read() but
the results are appended to the passed Vec.
Remove Reader.fill() and Reader.push_exact() as they end up being thin
wrappers around read_at_least() and push_at_least().

This implements set_timeout() for std::io::Process which will affect wait()
operations on the process. This follows the same pattern as the rest of the
timeouts emerging in std::io::net.
The implementation was super easy for everything except libnative on unix
(backwards from usual!), which required a good bit of signal handling. There's a
doc comment explaining the strategy in libnative. Internally, this also required
refactoring the "helper thread" implementation used by libnative to allow for an
extra helper thread (not just the timer).
This is a breaking change in terms of the io::Process API. It is now possible
for wait() to fail, and subsequently wait_with_output(). These two functions now
return IoResult<T> due to the fact that they can time out.
Additionally, the wait_with_output() function has moved from taking `&mut self`
to taking `self`. If a timeout occurs while waiting with output, the semantics
are undesirable in almost all cases if attempting to re-wait on the process.
Equivalent functionality can still be achieved by dealing with the output
handles manually.

Been meaning to try my hand at something like this for a while, and noticed something similar mentioned as part of #13537. The suggestion on the original ticket is to use `TcpStream::open(&str)` to pass in a host + port string, but seems a little cleaner to pass in host and port separately -- so a signature like `TcpStream::open(&str, u16)`.
Also means we can use std::io::net::addrinfo directly instead of using e.g. liburl to parse the host+port pair from a string.
One outstanding issue in this PR that I'm not entirely sure how to address: in open_timeout, the timeout_ms will apply for every A record we find associated with a hostname -- probably not the intended behavior, but I didn't want to waste my time on elaborate alternatives until the general idea was a-OKed. :)
Anyway, perhaps there are other reasons for us to prefer the original proposed syntax, but thought I'd get some thoughts on this. Maybe there are some solid reasons to prefer using liburl to do this stuff.
Prior to this commit, TcpStream::connect and TcpListener::bind took a
single SocketAddr argument. This worked well enough, but the API felt a
little too "low level" for most simple use cases.
A great example is connecting to rust-lang.org on port 80. Rust users would
need to:
1. resolve the IP address of rust-lang.org using
io::net::addrinfo::get_host_addresses.
2. check for errors
3. if all went well, use the returned IP address and the port number
to construct a SocketAddr
4. pass this SocketAddr to TcpStream::connect.
I'm modifying the type signature of TcpStream::connect and
TcpListener::bind so that the API is a little easier to use.
TcpStream::connect now accepts two arguments: a string describing the
host/IP of the host we wish to connect to, and a u16 representing the
remote port number.
Similarly, TcpListener::bind has been modified to take two arguments:
a string describing the local interface address (e.g. "0.0.0.0" or
"127.0.0.1") and a u16 port number.
Here's how to port your Rust code to use the new TcpStream::connect API:
// old ::connect API
let addr = SocketAddr{ip: Ipv4Addr{127, 0, 0, 1}, port: 8080};
let stream = TcpStream::connect(addr).unwrap()
// new ::connect API (minimal change)
let addr = SocketAddr{ip: Ipv4Addr{127, 0, 0, 1}, port: 8080};
let stream = TcpStream::connect(addr.ip.to_str(), addr.port()).unwrap()
// new ::connect API (more compact)
let stream = TcpStream::connect("127.0.0.1", 8080).unwrap()
// new ::connect API (hostname)
let stream = TcpStream::connect("rust-lang.org", 80)
Similarly, for TcpListener::bind:
// old ::bind API
let addr = SocketAddr{ip: Ipv4Addr{0, 0, 0, 0}, port: 8080};
let mut acceptor = TcpListener::bind(addr).listen();
// new ::bind API (minimal change)
let addr = SocketAddr{ip: Ipv4Addr{0, 0, 0, 0}, port: 8080};
let mut acceptor = TcpListener::bind(addr.ip.to_str(), addr.port()).listen()
// new ::bind API (more compact)
let mut acceptor = TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0", 8080).listen()

The `FileStat` struct contained a `path` field, which was filled by the
`stat` and `lstat` function. Since this field isn't in fact returned by
the operating system (it was copied from the paths passed to the
functions) it was removed, as in the `fstat` case we aren't working with
a `Path`, but directly with a fd.
If your code used the `path` field of `FileStat` you will now have to
manually store the path passed to `stat` along with the returned struct.

This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes
all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely,
folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate
of each function in the `cast` module.
* transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as
#[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute`
function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment).
For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898
* transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is
is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different
sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This
function is now #[stable]
* forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable]
* bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of
managed boxes as well as its questionable utility.
* transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part
of this commit.
* transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it
can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was
removed.
* transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong
indication that code is incorrect in the first place.
* transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as
`transmute_lifetime`
* copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked
`#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in
the future if it is found to not be very useful.
* copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same
treatment as `copy_lifetime`.
* copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today,
and its existence is not necessary with DST
(copy_lifetime will suffice).
In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the
functions were moved to the `mem` module.

This was intended as part of the I/O timeouts commit, but it was mistakenly

This was intended as part of the I/O timeouts commit, but it was mistakenly
forgotten. The type of the timeout argument is not guaranteed to remain constant
into the future.
This is the last remaining networkig object to implement timeouts for. This
takes advantage of the CancelIo function and the already existing asynchronous
I/O functionality of pipes.
These timeouts all follow the same pattern as established by the timeouts on
acceptors. There are three methods: set_timeout, set_read_timeout, and
set_write_timeout. Each of these sets a point in the future after which
operations will time out.
Timeouts with cloned objects are a little trickier. Each object is viewed as
having its own timeout, unaffected by other objects' timeouts. Additionally,
timeouts do not propagate when a stream is cloned or when a cloned stream has
its timeouts modified.
This commit is just the public interface which will be exposed for timeouts, the
implementation will come in later commits.
Two new methods were added to TcpStream and UnixStream:
fn close_read(&mut self) -> IoResult<()>;
fn close_write(&mut self) -> IoResult<()>;
These two methods map to shutdown()'s behavior (the system call on unix),
closing the reading or writing half of a duplex stream. These methods are
primarily added to allow waking up a pending read in another task. By closing
the reading half of a connection, all pending readers will be woken up and will
return with EndOfFile. The close_write() method was added for symmetry with
close_read(), and I imagine that it will be quite useful at some point.
Implementation-wise, librustuv got the short end of the stick this time. The
native versions just delegate to the shutdown() syscall (easy). The uv versions
can leverage uv_shutdown() for tcp/unix streams, but only for closing the
writing half. Closing the reading half is done through some careful dancing to
wake up a pending reader.
As usual, windows likes to be different from unix. The windows implementation
uses shutdown() for sockets, but shutdown() is not available for named pipes.
Instead, CancelIoEx was used with same fancy synchronization to make sure
everyone knows what's up.

These implementations must live in libstd right now because the fmt module has
not been migrated yet. This will occur in a later PR.
Just to be clear, there are new extension traits, but they are not necessary
once the std::fmt module has migrated to libcore, which is a planned migration
in the future.
This moves as much allocation as possible from teh std::str module into
core::str. This includes essentially all non-allocating functionality, mostly
iterators and slicing and such.
This primarily splits the Str trait into only having the as_slice() method,
adding a new StrAllocating trait to std::str which contains the relevant new
allocation methods. This is a breaking change if any of the methods of "trait
Str" were overriden. The old functionality can be restored by implementing both
the Str and StrAllocating traits.

The underlying I/O objects implement a good deal of various options here and

of "whatever libuv provides", but these options are genuinely useful.

not, or whether they have correct names or not. For now, I believe it's better
to expose the functionality than to not, but all new methods are added with

This patch changes `std::io::FilePermissions` from an exposed `u32`
representation to a typesafe representation (that only allows valid
flag combinations) using the `std::bitflags`, thus ensuring a greater
degree of safety on the Rust side.
Despite the change to the type, most code should continue to work
as-is, sincde the new type provides bit operations in the style of C
flags. To get at the underlying integer representation, use the `bits`
method; to (unsafely) convert to `FilePermissions`, use
`FilePermissions::from_bits`.

This adds support for connecting to a unix socket with a timeout (a named pipe
on windows), and accepting a connection with a timeout. The goal is to bring
unix pipes/named sockets back in line with TCP support for timeouts.
Similarly to the TCP sockets, all methods are marked #[experimental] due to
uncertainty about the type of the timeout argument.
This internally involved a good bit of refactoring to share as much code as
possible between TCP servers and pipe servers, but the core implementation did
not change drastically as part of this commit.

The `walk_dir` iterator was simulating a queue using a vector (in particular, using `shift`),
leading to O(n^2) performance. Since the order was not well-specified (see issue #13411),
the simplest fix is to use the vector as a stack (and thus yield a depth-first traversal).
This patch does exactly that. It leaves the order as originally specified -- "some top-down
order" -- and adds a test to ensure a top-down traversal.
Note that the underlying `readdir` function does not specify any particular order, nor
does the system call it uses.
Closes#13411.
This adds experimental support for timeouts when accepting sockets through
`TcpAcceptor::accept`. This does not add a separate `accept_timeout` function,
but rather it adds a `set_timeout` function instead. This second function is
intended to be used as a hard deadline after which all accepts will never block
and fail immediately.
This idea was derived from Go's SetDeadline() methods. We do not currently have
a robust time abstraction in the standard library, so I opted to have the
argument be a relative time in millseconds into the future. I believe a more
appropriate argument type is an absolute time, but this concept does not exist
yet (this is also why the function is marked #[experimental]).
The native support is built on select(), similarly to connect_timeout(), and the
green support is based on channel select and a timer.

This alters the borrow checker's requirements on invoking closures from
requiring an immutable borrow to requiring a unique immutable borrow. This means
that it is illegal to invoke a closure through a `&` pointer because there is no
guarantee that is not aliased. This does not mean that a closure is required to
be in a mutable location, but rather a location which can be proven to be
unique (often through a mutable pointer).
For example, the following code is unsound and is no longer allowed:
type Fn<'a> = ||:'a;
fn call(f: |Fn|) {
f(|| {
f(|| {})
});
}
fn main() {
call(|a| {
a();
});
}
There is no replacement for this pattern. For all closures which are stored in
structures, it was previously allowed to invoke the closure through `&self` but
it now requires invocation through `&mut self`.
The standard library has a good number of violations of this new rule, but the
fixes will be separated into multiple breaking change commits.

This adds a `TcpStream::connect_timeout` function in order to assist opening
connections with a timeout (cc #13523). There isn't really much design space for
this specific operation (unlike timing out normal blocking reads/writes), so I
am fairly confident that this is the correct interface for this function.
The function is marked #[experimental] because it takes a u64 timeout argument,
and the u64 type is likely to change in the future.

Exposing ctpop, ctlz, cttz and bswap as taking signed i8/i16/... is just
exposing the internal LLVM names pointlessly (LLVM doesn't have "signed
integers" or "unsigned integers", it just has sized integer types
with (un)signed *operations*).
These operations are semantically working with raw bytes, which the
unsigned types model better.
