This is a behavioral difference in libuv between different platforms in
different situations. It turns out that libuv on windows will immediately
allocate a buffer instead of waiting for data to be ready. What this implies is
that we must have our custom data set on the handle before we call
uv_read_start.
I wish I knew of a way to test this, but this relies to being on the windows
platform *and* reading from a true TTY handle which only happens when this is
actually attached to a terminal. I have manually verified this works.
Closes#10645
Currently, the parser doesn't give any context when it finds an unclosed
delimiter and it's not EOF. Report the most recent unclosed delimiter, to help
the user along.
Closes#10636
This is both useful for performance (otherwise logging is unbuffered), but also
useful for correctness. Because when a task is destroyed we can't block the task
waiting for the logger to close, loggers are opened with a 'CloseAsynchronously'
specification. This causes libuv do defer the call to close() until the next
turn of the event loop.
If you spin in a tight loop around printing, you never yield control back to the
libuv event loop, meaning that you simply enqueue a large number of close
requests but nothing is actually closed. This queue ends up never getting
closed, meaning that if you keep trying to create handles one will eventually
fail, which the runtime will attempt to print the failure, causing mass
destruction.
Caching will provide better performance as well as prevent creation of too many
handles.

The reasons for doing this are:
* The model on which linked failure is based is inherently complex
* The implementation is also very complex, and there are few remaining who
fully understand the implementation
* There are existing race conditions in the core context switching function of
the scheduler, and possibly others.
* It's unclear whether this model of linked failure maps well to a 1:1 threading
model
Linked failure is often a desired aspect of tasks, but we would like to take a
much more conservative approach in re-implementing linked failure if at all.

Make TrieMap/TrieSet's find_mut check the key for external nodes.
Without this find_mut sometimes returns a reference to another key when
querying for a non-present key.

With these changes I was able to cross compile for windows from a linux box. (Using the mingw-w64 package on Debian Testing).
Fixed a bug where the `target_family` cfg would be wrong when targeting something with a different value than the host. (i.e windows -> unix or unix -> windows).
Also, removed `LIBUV_FLAGS` in `mk/rt.mk` because of the redundancy between it and `CFG_GCCISH_CFLAGS_(target)`.
After this we can create a snapshot and migrate to mingw64 instead of mingw32.
This is based off of @blake2-ppc's work on #9429. That PR bitrotted and I haven't been able to contact the original author so I decided to take up the cause.
Overview
======
`Mut` encapsulates a mutable, non-nullable slot. The `Cell` type is currently used to do this, but `Cell` is much more commonly used as a workaround for the inability to move values into non-once functions. `Mut` provides a more robust API.
`Mut` duplicates the semantics of borrowed pointers with enforcement at runtime instead of compile time.
```rust
let x = Mut::new(0);
{
// make some immutable borrows
let p = x.borrow();
let y = *p.get() + 10;
// multiple immutable borrows are allowed simultaneously
let p2 = x.borrow();
// this would throw a runtime failure
// let p_mut = x.borrow_mut();
}
// now we can mutably borrow
let p = x.borrow_mut();
*p.get() = 10;
```
`borrow` returns a `Ref` type and `borrow_mut` returns a `RefMut` type, both of which are simple smart pointer types with a single method, `get`, which returns a reference to the wrapped data.
This also allows `RcMut<T>` to be deleted, as it can be replaced with `Rc<Mut<T>>`.
Changes
======
I've done things a little bit differently than the original proposal.
* I've added `try_borrow` and `try_borrow_mut` methods that return `Option<Ref<T>>` and `Option<RefMut<T>>` respectively instead of failing on a borrow check failure. I'm not totally sure when that'd be useful, but I don't see any reason to not put them in and @cmr requested them.
* `ReadPtr` and `WritePtr` have been renamed to `Ref` and `RefMut` respectively, as `Ref` is to `ref foo` and `RefMut` is to `ref mut foo` as `Mut` is to `mut foo`.
* `get` on `MutRef` now takes `&self` instead of `&mut self` for consistency with `&mut`. As @alexcrichton pointed, out this violates soundness by allowing aliasing `&mut` references.
* `Cell` is being left as is. It solves a different problem than `Mut` is designed to solve.
* There are no longer methods implemented for `Mut<Option<T>>`. Since `Cell` isn't going away, there's less of a need for these, and I didn't feel like they provided a huge benefit, especially as that kind of `impl` is very uncommon in the standard library.
Open Questions
============
* `Cell` should now be used exclusively for movement into closures. Should this be enforced by reducing its API to `new` and `take`? It seems like this use case will be completely going away once the transition to `proc` and co. finishes.
* Should there be `try_map` and `try_map_mut` methods along with `map` and `map_mut`?
