Work a bit towards #9157 "Remove Either". These instances don't need to use Either and are better expressed in other ways (removing allocations and simplifying types).
This is a series of patches to modernize option and result. The highlights are:
* rename `.unwrap_or_default(value)` and etc to `.unwrap_or(value)`
* add `.unwrap_or_default()` that uses the `Default` trait
* add `Default` implementations for vecs, HashMap, Option
* add `Option.and(T) -> Option<T>`, `Option.and_then(&fn() -> Option<T>) -> Option<T>`, `Option.or(T) -> Option<T>`, and `Option.or_else(&fn() -> Option<T>) -> Option<T>`
* add `option::ToOption`, `option::IntoOption`, `option::AsOption`, `result::ToResult`, `result::IntoResult`, `result::AsResult`, `either::ToEither`, and `either::IntoEither`, `either::AsEither`
* renamed `Option::chain*` and `Result::chain*` to `and_then` and `or_else` to avoid the eventual collision with `Iterator.chain`.
* Added a bunch of impls of `Default`
* Added a `#[deriving(Default)]` syntax extension
* Removed impls of `Zero` for `Option<T>` and vecs.
While usage of change_dir_locked is synchronized against itself, it's not
synchronized against other relative path usage, so I'm of the opinion that it
just really doesn't help in running tests. In order to prevent the problems that
have been cropping up, this completely removes the function.
All existing tests (except one) using it have been moved to run-pass tests where
they get their own process and don't need to be synchronized with anyone else.
There is one now-ignored rustpkg test because when I moved it to a run-pass test
apparently run-pass isn't set up to have 'extern mod rustc' (it ends up having
linkage failures).
This is mostly for consistency, as you can now compare raw pointers in
constant expressions or without the standard library.
It also reduces the number of `ptrtoint` instructions in the IR, making
tracking down culprits of what's usually an anti-pattern easier.
The purpose of this macro is to further reduce the number of allocations which
occur when dealing with formatting strings. This macro will perform all of the
static analysis necessary to validate that a format string is safe, and then it
will wrap up the "format string" into an opaque struct which can then be passed
around.
Two safe functions are added (write/format) which take this opaque argument
structure, unwrap it, and then call the unsafe version of write/format (in an
unsafe block). Other than these two functions, it is not intended for anyone to
ever look inside this opaque struct.
The macro looks a bit odd, but mostly because of rvalue lifetimes this is the
only way for it to be safe that I know of.
Example use-cases of this are:
* third-party libraries can use the default formatting syntax without any
forced allocations
* the fail!() macro can avoid allocating the format string
* the logging macros can avoid allocation any strings
I plan on transitioning the standard logging/failing to using these macros soon. This is currently blocking on inner statics being usable in cross-crate situations (still tracking down bugs there), but this will hopefully be coming soon!
Additionally, I'd rather settle on a name now than later, so if anyone has a better suggestion other than `format_args`, I'm not attached to the name at all :)
