f1f6c1286f Rename unwrap functions to into_inner
This change applies the conventions to unwrap listed in [RFC 430][rfc] to rename
non-failing `unwrap` methods to `into_inner`. This is a breaking change, but all
`unwrap` methods are retained as `#[deprecated]` for the near future. To update
code rename `unwrap` method calls to `into_inner`.

85c2c2e38c implement Writer for Vec<u8>
The trait has an obvious, sensible implementation directly on vectors so
the MemWriter wrapper is unnecessary. This will halt the trend towards
providing all of the vector methods on MemWriter along with eliminating
the noise caused by conversions between the two types. It also provides
the useful default Writer methods on Vec<u8>.

After the type is removed and code has been migrated, it would make
sense to add a new implementation of MemWriter with seeking support. The
simple use cases can be covered with vectors alone, and ones with the
need for seeks can use a new MemWriter implementation.

cfafc1b737 Prelude: rename and consolidate extension traits
This commit renames a number of extension traits for slices and string
slices, now that they have been refactored for DST. In many cases,
multiple extension traits could now be consolidated. Further
consolidation will be possible with generalized where clauses.

The renamings are consistent with the [new `-Prelude`
suffix](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/344). There are probably
a few more candidates for being renamed this way, but that is left for
API stabilization of the relevant modules.

Because this renames traits, it is a:

[breaking-change]

However, I do not expect any code that currently uses the standard
library to actually break.

21ac985af4 collections: Remove all collections traits
As part of the collections reform RFC, this commit removes all collections
traits in favor of inherent methods on collections themselves. All methods
should continue to be available on all collections.

This is a breaking change with all of the collections traits being removed and
no longer being in the prelude. In order to update old code you should move the
trait implementations to inherent implementations directly on the type itself.

Note that some traits had default methods which will also need to be implemented
to maintain backwards compatibility.

7828c3dd28 Rename fail! to panic!
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/221

The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.

Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.

We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.

To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:

    grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'

You can of course also do this by hand.

f27ad3d3e9 Clean up rustc warnings.
compiletest: compact "linux" "macos" etc.as "unix".
liballoc: remove a superfluous "use".
libcollections: remove invocations of deprecated methods in favor of
    their suggested replacements and use "_" for a loop counter.
libcoretest: remove invocations of deprecated methods;  also add
    "allow(deprecated)" for testing a deprecated method itself.
libglob: use "cfg_attr".
libgraphviz: add a test for one of data constructors.
libgreen: remove a superfluous "use".
libnum: "allow(type_overflow)" for type cast into u8 in a test code.
librustc: names of static variables should be in upper case.
libserialize: v[i] instead of get().
libstd/ascii: to_lowercase() instead of to_lower().
libstd/bitflags: modify AnotherSetOfFlags to use i8 as its backend.
    It will serve better for testing various aspects of bitflags!.
libstd/collections: "allow(deprecated)" for testing a deprecated
    method itself.
libstd/io: remove invocations of deprecated methods and superfluous "use".
    Also add #[test] where it was missing.
libstd/num: introduce a helper function to effectively remove
    invocations of a deprecated method.
libstd/path and rand: remove invocations of deprecated methods and
    superfluous "use".
libstd/task and libsync/comm: "allow(deprecated)" for testing
    a deprecated method itself.
libsync/deque: remove superfluous "unsafe".
libsync/mutex and once: names of static variables should be in upper case.
libterm: introduce a helper function to effectively remove
    invocations of a deprecated method.

We still see a few warnings about using obsoleted native::task::spawn()
in the test modules for libsync.  I'm not sure how I should replace them
with std::task::TaksBuilder and native::task::NativeTaskBuilder
(dependency to libstd?)

fbc93082ec std: Rename slice::Vector to Slice
This required some contortions because importing both raw::Slice
and slice::Slice makes rustc crash.

Since `Slice` is in the prelude, this renaming is unlikely to

2bcb4bd406 std: Make MemWriter clonable 2014-07-29 16:32:07 -07:00
Erick Tryzelaar
e27b88d5bd remove seek from std::io::MemWriter, add SeekableMemWriter to librustc
Not all users of MemWriter need to seek, but having MemWriter
seekable adds between 3-29% in overhead in certain circumstances.
This fixes that performance gap by making a non-seekable MemWriter,
and creating a new SeekableMemWriter for those circumstances when
that functionality is actually needed.

66e1f11ef4 auto merge of #15471 : erickt/rust/push_all, r=acrichto
llvm is currently not able to conver `Vec::extend` into a memcpy for `Copy` types, which results in methods like `Vec::push_all` to run twice as slow as it should be running. This patch takes the unsafe `Vec::clone` optimization to speed up all the operations that are cloning a slice into a `Vec`.

7cbec5566c rustc: Stop leaking enum variants into children
This plugs a leak where resolve was treating enums defined in parent modules as
in-scope for all children modules when resolving a pattern identifier. This
eliminates the code path in resolve entirely.

If this breaks any existing code, then it indicates that the variants need to be
explicitly imported into the module.

Closes #14221

972f2e5855 io: Add .read_at_least() to Reader
Reader.read_at_least() ensures that at least a given number of bytes
have been read. The most common use-case for this is ensuring at least 1
byte has been read. If the reader returns 0 enough times in a row, a new
error kind NoProgress will be returned instead of looping infinitely.

This change is necessary in order to properly support Readers that
repeatedly return 0, either because they're broken, or because they're
attempting to do a non-blocking read on some resource that never becomes
available.

Also add .push() and .push_at_least() methods. push() is like read() but
the results are appended to the passed Vec.

Remove Reader.fill() and Reader.push_exact() as they end up being thin
wrappers around read_at_least() and push_at_least().

7d3b0bf391 std: Make ~[T] no longer a growable vector
This removes all resizability support for ~[T] vectors in preparation of DST.
The only growable vector remaining is Vec<T>. In summary, the following methods
from ~[T] and various functions were removed. Each method/function has an
equivalent on the Vec type in std::vec unless otherwise stated.

* slice::OwnedCloneableVector
* slice::OwnedEqVector
* slice::append
* slice::append_one
* slice::build (no replacement)
* slice::bytes::push_bytes
* slice::from_elem
* slice::from_fn
* slice::with_capacity
* ~[T].capacity()
* ~[T].clear()
* ~[T].dedup()
* ~[T].extend()
* ~[T].grow()
* ~[T].grow_fn()
* ~[T].grow_set()
* ~[T].insert()
* ~[T].pop()
* ~[T].push()
* ~[T].push_all()
* ~[T].push_all_move()
* ~[T].remove()
* ~[T].reserve()
* ~[T].reserve_additional()
* ~[T].reserve_exect()
* ~[T].retain()
* ~[T].set_len()
* ~[T].shift()
* ~[T].shrink_to_fit()
* ~[T].swap_remove()
* ~[T].truncate()
* ~[T].unshift()
* ~str.clear()
* ~str.set_len()
* ~str.truncate()

Note that no other API changes were made. Existing apis that took or returned
~[T] continue to do so.

5560383071 std: Add an I/O reader method to fill a buffer
I've found a common use case being to fill a slice (not an owned vector)
completely with bytes. It's posible for short reads to happen, and if you're
trying to get an exact number of bytes then this helper will be useful.

02882fbd7e std: Change assert_eq!() to use {} instead of {:?}
Formatting via reflection has been a little questionable for some time now, and
it's a little unfortunate that one of the standard macros will silently use
reflection when you weren't expecting it. This adds small bits of code bloat to
libraries, as well as not always being necessary. In light of this information,
this commit switches assert_eq!() to using {} in the error message instead of
{:?}.

In updating existing code, there were a few error cases that I encountered:

* It's impossible to define Show for [T, ..N]. I think DST will alleviate this
  because we can define Show for [T].
* A few types here and there just needed a #[deriving(Show)]
* Type parameters needed a Show bound, I often moved this to `assert!(a == b)`
* `Path` doesn't implement `Show`, so assert_eq!() cannot be used on two paths.
  I don't think this is much of a regression though because {:?} on paths looks
  awful (it's a byte array).

Concretely speaking, this shaved 10K off a 656K binary. Not a lot, but sometime
significant for smaller binaries.

7bb498bd7a Mass rename if_ok! to try!
This "bubble up an error" macro was originally named if_ok! in order to get it
landed, but after the fact it was discovered that this name is not exactly
desirable.

The name `if_ok!` isn't immediately clear that is has much to do with error
handling, and it doesn't look fantastic in all contexts (if if_ok!(...) {}). In
general, the agreed opinion about `if_ok!` is that is came in as subpar.

The name `try!` is more invocative of error handling, it's shorter by 2 letters,
and it looks fitting in almost all circumstances. One concern about the word
`try!` is that it's too invocative of exceptions, but the belief is that this
will be overcome with documentation and examples.

1b6a1e98a8 Finalize the Seek API
This adopts the rules posted in #10432:

1. If a seek position is negative, then an error is generated
2. Seeks beyond the end-of-file are allowed. Future writes will fill the gap
   with data and future reads will return errors.
3. Seeks within the bounds of a file are fine.
