"Truth passes, success `panic!`s" seems to be a typo. The closest fix would be something like "Success passes, failure `panic!`s" but to me a "comparison failure" suggests that we couldn't compare the two values at all, not that we could successfully compare them and that the result was non-equality. So I opted to rewrite the paragraph a bit. If there's a better alternative please let me know.

Padding and alignment are often not implemented by types and can cause confusion in the user. Per discussion with @alexcrichton, here is my PR.

The paper from which this example was taken made the mistake of assuming that all five philosophers are men. This it is a hypothetical example—there are no actual philosophers eating 🍝—so there is no good reason to make this assumption. Since women make up about half of the human population, all things being equal, women should represent about half of the philosophers. However, because this mistake has stood since 1985, I have changed *all* of the pronouns to be female, to make up for lost time. If someone would like to revert this patch or switch to neutral pronouns after 30 years, feel free to set your alarm clock for 2045.
r? @steveklabnik, since this is a documentation change and was created after reading http://words.steveklabnik.com/ouroboros, where I noticed this mistake.

This commits adds a method to the `std::process` module to get the process
identifier of the child as a `u32`. On Windows the underlying identifier is
already a `u32`, and on Unix the type is typically defined as `c_int` (`i32` for
almost all our supported platforms), but the actually pid is normally a small
positive number.
Eventually we may add functions to load information about a process based on its
identifier or the ability to terminate a process based on its identifier, but
for now this function should enable this sort of functionality to exist outside
the standard library.
This commit updates the `dist` target for MSVC to not build the mingw components
and to also ensure that the `llvm-ar.exe` binary is ferried along into the right
location for installs.
This commit adds a small non-generic non-inlineable shim function to
`rt::unwind::try` which the compiler can take care of for managing the exported
symbol instead of having to edit `src/rt/rust_try.ll`
This commit modifies the compiler to emit `dllexport` for all reachable
functions and data on MSVC targets, regardless of whether a dynamic library is
being created or not. More details can be found in the commit itself.
This function is imported across the DLL boundary by the libtest dynamic
library, so it has to be marked as dllexport somehow, and for now this is done
with an attribute on the function specifically.
At this time unwinding support is not implemented for MSVC as
`libgcc_s_seh-1.dll` is not available by default (and this is used on MinGW),
but this should be investigated soon. For now this change is just aimed at
getting the compiler far enough to bootstrap everything instead of successfully
running tests.
This commit refactors the `std::rt::unwind` module a bit to prepare for SEH
support eventually by moving all GCC-specific functionality to its own submodule
and defining the interface needed.
For imports of constants across DLLs to work on Windows it *requires* that the
import be marked with `dllimport` (unlike functions where the marker is
optional, but strongly recommended). This currently isn't working for importing
FFI constants across boundaries, however, so the one constant exported from
`rustc_llvm.dll` is now a function to be called instead.
Windows needs explicit exports of functions from DLLs but LLVM does not mention
any of its symbols as being export-able from a DLL. The compiler, however,
relies on being able to use LLVM symbols across DLL boundaries so we need to
force many of LLVM's symbols to be exported from `rustc_llvm.dll`. This commit
adds support for generation of a `rustc_llvm.def` file which is passed along to
the linker when generating `rustc_llvm.dll` which should keep all these symbols
exportable and usable.
This commit adds an implementation of the `Linker` trait which is used to drive
MSVC's `link.exe` support. Nothing too surprising here as it's mostly just
filling out the necessary tidbits here and there.
These libraries don't exist! The linker for MSVC is highly likely to not pass
`/NODEFAULTLIB` in which case the right standard library will automatically be
selected.
This commit was initially written to target either `ar` or `lib.exe` for MSVC,
but it ended up not needing `lib.exe` support after all. I would personally like
to refactor this to one day not invoke processes at all (but rather use the
`llvm-ar.cpp` file in LLVM as alibrary) so I chose to preserve this refactoring
to allow it to be easily done in the future.
It looks like section names in objects generated by `link.exe` are limited to at
most 8 characters in length, so shorten `.note.rustc` to just `.rustc`
The compiler will require that `llvm-ar.exe` be available for MSVC-targeting
builds (more comments on this soon), so this commit adds support for targets to
depend on LLVM tools. The `core` library for MSVC depends on `llvm-ar.exe` which
will be copied into place for the target before the compiler starts to run.
Note that these targets all depend on `llvm-config.exe` to ensure that they're
built before they're attempted to be copied.
This commit updates the rustllvm.mk file with the necessary flags and such to
build rustllvm.lib with cl.exe instead of gcc. Some comments can be found in the
commit itself.
It looks like compiler-rt has a cmake build sytem inside its source, but I have
been unable to figure out how to use it and actually build the right library.
For now this commit hard-wires MSVC-targeting builds of libcompiler-rt to
continue using `make` as the primary bulid system, but some frobbing of the
flags are necessary to ensure that the right compiler is used.
Currently the MSVC compilers don't have any cross prefixes and we're only able
to make an MSVC compiler with a cross compile, so just avoid this logic on msvc
for now.
We have a number of support C/C++ files in Rust that we link into the standard
library and other various locations, and these all need to be built with cl.exe
instead of gcc.exe when targeting MSVC. This commit adds helper macros for this
functionality to use different sets of programs/flags/invocations on MSVC than
on GNU-like platforms.
This commit modifies the makefiles to enable building LLVM with cmake and Visual
Studio to generate an LLVM that targets MSVC. Rust's configure script requires
cmake to be installed when targeting MSVC and will configure LLVM with cmake
instead of the normal `./configure` script LLVM provides. The build will then
run cmake to execute the build instead of the normal `make`.
Currently `make clean-llvm` isn't supported on MSVC as I can't figure out how to
run a "clean" target for the Visual Studio files.
This commit starts to add MSVC support to the ./configure script to enable the
build system to detect and build an MSVC target with the cl.exe compiler and
toolchain. The primary change here is a large sanity check when an MSVC target
is requested (and currently only `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` is recognized).
When building an MSVC target, the configure script either requires the
`--msvc-root` argument or for `cl.exe` to be in `PATH`. It also requires that if
in the path `cl.exe` is the 64-bit version of the compiler.
Once detected the configure script will run the `vcvarsall.bat` script provided
by Visual Studio to learn about the `INCLUDE` and `LIB` variables needed by the
`cl.exe` compiler to run (the default include/lib paths for the
compiler/linker). These variables are then reexported when running `make` to
ensure that our own compiles are running the same toolchain.
The purpose of this detection and environment variable scraping is to avoid
requiring the build itself to be run inside of a `cmd.exe` shell but rather
allow it to run in the currently expected MinGW/MSYS shell.
We use a script called `mklldeps.py` to run `llvm-config` to generate a list
of LLVM libraries and native dependencies needed by LLVM, but all cross-compiled
LLVM builds were using the *host triple's* `llvm-config` instead of the
*target's* `llvm-config`. This commit alters this to require the right
`llvmdeps.rs` to be generated which will run the correct `llvm-config`.
Previously libmorestack.a and libcompiler-rt.a were installed, but link.exe
looks for morestack.lib and compiler-rt.lib by default, so we need to install
these with the correct name
* Detect the #define _MSC_VER in addition to __WIN32__
* Don't include valgrind.h for windows
* Remove unused `rust_valgrind_stack_{un,}register` functions
* Add stub definition for `rust_running_on_valgrind` for windows
* Conditionally define `rust_dbg_extern_empty_struct` as empty structures are
not allowed by cl.exe apparently.
