For libgreen, bookeeping should not be global but rather on a per-pool basis.
Inside libnative, it's known that there must be a global counter with a
mutex/cvar.
The benefit of taking this strategy is to remove this functionality from libstd
to allow fine-grained control of it through libnative/libgreen. Notably, helper
threads in libnative can manually decrement the global count so they don't count
towards the global count of threads. Also, the shutdown process of *all* sched
pools is now dependent on the number of tasks in the pool being 0 rather than
this only being a hardcoded solution for the initial sched pool in libgreen.
This involved adding a Local::try_take() method on the Local trait in order for
the channel wakeup to work inside of libgreen. The channel send was happening
from a SchedTask when there is no Task available in TLS, and now this is
possible to work (remote wakeups are always possible, just a little slower).
Turns out when you grab an OS mutex, you need to be careful about when and where
things are scheduled!
I've confirmed that I could fairly reliably get a deadlock (1 in 100 times ish) before this, and I cannot get a deadlock after this (after 1000+ runs).
Closes#11200
Some people have requested this, and I think it's quite useful to have
documentation for the compiler libraries. libnative and libgreen are
self-explanatory I think.
The old `rtio-processes` run-pass test is now moved into libstd's `io::process` module, and all process and TCP tests are now run with `iotest!` (both a native and a green version are tested).
All TCP networking on windows is provided by `ws2_32` which is apparently very similar to unix networking (hurray!).
Move the tests into libstd, use the `iotest!` macro to test both native and uv
bindings, and use the cloexec trick to figure out when the child process fails
in exec.
This patch changes `result::collect` (and adds a new `option::collect`) from creating a `~[T]` to take an `Iterator`. This makes the function much more flexible, and may replace the need for #10989.
This patch is a little more complicated than it needs to be because of #11084. Once that is fixed we can replace the `CollectIterator` with a `Scan` iterator.
It also fixes a test warning.
This commit uniforms the short title of modules provided by libstd,
in order to make their roles more explicit when glancing at the index.
