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.
Previously an ExprLit was created *per byte* causing a huge increase in memory
bloat. This adds a new `lit_binary` to contain a literal of binary data, which
is currently only used by the include_bin! syntax extension. This massively
speeds up compilation times of the shootout-k-nucleotide-pipes test
before:
time: 469s
memory: 6GB
assertion failure in LLVM (section too large)
after:
time: 2.50s
memory: 124MB
Closes#2598

Add a new trait BytesContainer that is implemented for both byte vectors
and strings.
Convert Path::from_vec and ::from_str to one function, Path::new().
Remove all the _str-suffixed mutation methods (push, join, with_*,
set_*) and modify the non-suffixed versions to use BytesContainer.
Remove the old path.
Rename path2 to path.
Update all clients for the new path.
Also make some miscellaneous changes to the Path APIs to help the
adoption process.
This provides 2 methods: .reseed() and ::from_seed that modify and
create respecitively.
Implement this trait for the RNGs in the stdlib for which this makes
sense.
This is 2x faster on 64-bit computers at generating anything larger
than 32-bits.
It has been verified against the canonical C implementation from the
website of the creator of ISAAC64.
Also, move `Rng.next` to `Rng.next_u32` and add `Rng.next_u64` to
take full advantage of the wider word width; otherwise Isaac64 will
always be squeezed down into a u32 wasting half the entropy and
offering no advantage over the 32-bit variant.
It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.
Closes#6592

Also, documentation & general clean-up:
- remove `gen_char_from`: better served by `sample` or `choose`.
- `gen_bytes` generalised to `gen_vec`.
- `gen_int_range`/`gen_uint_range` merged into `gen_integer_range` and
made to be properly uniformly distributed. Fixes#8644.
Minor adjustments to other functions.
This was a dead end experiment, and not a sensible way of implementing
generic data parallelism. This also removes the `graph500-bfs.rs`
benchmark because it relies on `extra::par`.
Closes#5626
Remove these in favor of the two traits themselves and the wrapper
function std::from_str::from_str.
Add the function std::num::from_str_radix in the corresponding role for
the FromStrRadix trait.
This pull request converts the scheduler from a naive shared queue scheduler to a naive workstealing scheduler. The deque is still a queue inside a lock, but there is still a substantial performance gain. Fiddling with the messaging benchmark I got a ~10x speedup and observed massively reduced memory usage.
There are still *many* locations for optimization, but based on my experience so far it is a clear performance win as it is now.
This is a fairly large rollup, but I've tested everything locally, and none of
it should be platform-specific.

This module provided adaptors for the old internal iterator protocol,
but they proved to be quite unreadable and are not generic enough to
handle borrowed pointers well.
Since Rust no longer defines an internal iteration protocol, I don't
think there's going to be any reuse via these adaptors.
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
