I was seeing a lot of weird behavior with stdin behaving as a tty, and it
doesn't really quite make sense, so instead this moves to using libuv's pipes
instead (which make more sense for stdin specifically).
This prevents piping input to rustc hanging forever.
The general idea is to remove conditions completely from I/O, so in the meantime
remove the read_error condition to mean the same thing as the io_error condition.
The isn't an ideal patch, and the comment why is in the code. Basically uvio
uses task::unkillable which touches the kill flag for a task, and if the task is
failing due to mismangement of the kill flag, then there will be serious
problems when the task tries to print that it's failing.
When uv's TTY I/O is used for the stdio streams, the file descriptors are put
into a non-blocking mode. This means that other concurrent writes to the same
stream can fail with EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK. By all I/O to event-loop I/O, we
avoid this error.
There is one location which cannot move, which is the runtime's dumb_println
function. This was implemented to handle the EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK errors and
simply retry again and again.
This involved changing a fair amount of code, rooted in how we access the local
IoFactory instance. I added a helper method to the rtio module to access the
optional local IoFactory. This is different than before in which it was assumed
that a local IoFactory was *always* present. Now, a separate io_error is raised
when an IoFactory is not present, yet I/O is requested.
This removes the PathLike trait associated with this "support module". This is
yet another "container of bytes" trait, so I didn't want to duplicate what
already exists throughout libstd. In actuality, we're going to pass of C strings
to the libuv APIs, so instead the arguments are now bound with the 'ToCStr'
trait instead.
Additionally, a layer of complexity was removed by immediately converting these
type-generic parameters into CStrings to get handed off to libuv apis.
We get a little more functionality from libuv for these kinds of streams (things
like terminal dimentions), and it also appears to more gracefully handle the
stream being a window. Beforehand, if you used stdio and hit CTRL+d on a
process, libuv would continually return 0-length successful reads instead of
interpreting that the stream was closed.
I was hoping to be able to write tests for this, but currently the testing
infrastructure doesn't allow tests with a stdin and a stdout, but this has been
manually tested! (not that it means much)
Removed unused import warning in std::mem and cleaned it up too
Removed is_true and is_false from std::bool
Removed freestanding functions in std::bool
- Adds the `Sample` and `IndependentSample` traits for generating numbers where there are parameters (e.g. a list of elements to draw from, or the mean/variance of a normal distribution). The former takes `&mut self` and the latter takes `&self` (this is the only difference).
- Adds proper `Normal` and `Exp`-onential distributions
- Adds `Range` which generates `[lo, hi)` generically & properly (via a new trait) replacing the incorrect behaviour of `Rng.gen_integer_range` (this has become `Rng.gen_range` for convenience, it's far more efficient to use `Range` itself)
- Move the `Weighted` struct from `std::rand` to `std::rand::distributions` & improve it
- optimisations and docs
- Use ["nothing up my sleeve numbers"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_up_my_sleeve_number) for the ISAAC tests.
- Replace the default implementation of `Rng.fill_bytes` with something that doesn't try to do bad things with `transmute` and vectors just for the sake of a little speed.
- Replace the transmutes used to seed the ISAAC RNGs with calls into `vec::raw`.
r? @brson api::install_pkg now accepts an argument that's a list of
(kind, path) dependency pairs. This allows custom package scripts to
declare C dependencies, as is demonstrated in
rustpkg::tests::test_c_dependency_ok.
Closes#6403

Slice transmutes are now (and, really, always were) dangerous, so we
avoid them and do the (only?) non-(undefined behaviour in C) pointer
cast: casting to *u8.
I'm planning on doing more updates, but the section in the tutorial stood out at me since the 'rust' tool no longer exists, this should probably be removed to lessen confusion.
This reifies the computations required for uniformity done by
(the old) `Rng.gen_integer_range` (now Rng.gen_range), so that they can
be amortised over many invocations, if it is called in a loop.
Also, it makes it correct, but using a trait + impls for each type,
rather than trying to coerce `Int` + `u64` to do the right thing. This
also makes it more extensible, e.g. big integers could & should
implement SampleRange.
