Native timers are a much hairier thing to deal with than green timers due to the
interface that we would like to expose (both a blocking sleep() and a
channel-based interface). I ended up implementing timers in three different ways
for the various platforms that we supports.
In all three of the implementations, there is a worker thread which does send()s
on channels for timers. This worker thread is initialized once and then
communicated to in a platform-specific manner, but there's always a shared
channel available for sending messages to the worker thread.
* Windows - I decided to use windows kernel timer objects via
CreateWaitableTimer and SetWaitableTimer in order to provide sleeping
capabilities. The worker thread blocks via WaitForMultipleObjects where one of
the objects is an event that is used to wake up the helper thread (which then
drains the incoming message channel for requests).
* Linux/(Android?) - These have the ideal interface for implementing timers,
timerfd_create. Each timer corresponds to a timerfd, and the helper thread
uses epoll to wait for all active timers and then send() for the next one that
wakes up. The tricky part in this implementation is updating a timerfd, but
see the implementation for the fun details
* OSX/FreeBSD - These obviously don't have the windows APIs, and sadly don't
have the timerfd api available to them, so I have thrown together a solution
which uses select() plus a timeout in order to ad-hoc-ly implement a timer
solution for threads. The implementation is backed by a sorted array of timers
which need to fire. As I said, this is an ad-hoc solution which is certainly
not accurate timing-wise. I have done this implementation due to the lack of
other primitives to provide an implementation, and I've done it the best that
I could, but I'm sure that there's room for improvement.
I'm pretty happy with how these implementations turned out. In theory we could
drop the timerfd implementation and have linux use the select() + timeout
implementation, but it's so inaccurate that I would much rather continue to use
timerfd rather than my ad-hoc select() implementation.
The only change that I would make to the API in general is to have a generic
sleep() method on an IoFactory which doesn't require allocating a Timer object.
For everything but windows it's super-cheap to request a blocking sleep for a
set amount of time, and it's probably worth it to provide a sleep() which
doesn't do something like allocate a file descriptor on linux.

Major changes:
- Define temporary scopes in a syntax-based way that basically defaults
to the innermost statement or conditional block, except for in
a `let` initializer, where we default to the innermost block. Rules
are documented in the code, but not in the manual (yet).
See new test run-pass/cleanup-value-scopes.rs for examples.
- Refactors Datum to better define cleanup roles.
- Refactor cleanup scopes to not be tied to basic blocks, permitting
us to have a very large number of scopes (one per AST node).
- Introduce nascent documentation in trans/doc.rs covering datums and
cleanup in a more comprehensive way.
The `print!` and `println!` macros are now the preferred method of printing, and so there is no reason to export the `stdio` functions in the prelude. The functions have also been replaced by their macro counterparts in the tutorial and other documentation so that newcomers don't get confused about what they should be using.

Instead of reading a byte at a time in a loop we copy the relevant bytes into
a temporary vector of size eight. We can then read the value from the temporary
vector using a single u64 read. LLVM seems to be able to optimize this
almost scarily good.
This is just an unnecessary trait that no one's ever going to parameterize over
and it's more useful to just define the methods directly on the types
themselves. The implementors of this type almost always don't want
inner_mut_ref() but they're forced to define it as well.
This will allow capturing of common things like logging messages, stdout prints
(using stdio println), and failure messages (printed to stderr). Any new prints
added to libstd should be funneled through these task handles to allow capture
as well.
Additionally, this commit redirects logging back through a `Logger` trait so the
log level can be usefully consumed by an arbitrary logger.
This commit also introduces methods to set the task-local stdout handles:
* std::io::stdio::set_stdout
* std::io::stdio::set_stderr
* std::io::logging::set_logger
These methods all return the previous logger just in case it needs to be used
for inspection.
I plan on using this infrastructure for extra::test soon, but we don't quite
have the primitives that I'd like to use for it, so it doesn't migrate
extra::test at this time.
Closes#6369
Similarly to the recent commit to do this for networking, there's no reason that
a read on a file descriptor should continue reading until the entire buffer is
full. This makes sense when dealing with literal files, but when dealing with
things like stdin this doesn't make sense.

libnative erroneously would attempt to fill the entire buffer in a call to
`read` before returning, when rather it should return immediately because
there's not guaranteed to be any data that will ever be received again.

These methods are sorely needed on readers and writers, and I believe that the
encoding story should be solved with composition. This commit adds back the
missed functions when reading/writing strings onto generic Readers/Writers.
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.

Note that this removes a number of run-pass tests which are exercising behavior
of the old runtime. This functionality no longer exists and is thoroughly tested
inside of libgreen and libnative. There isn't really the notion of "starting the
runtime" any more. The major notion now is "bootstrapping the initial task".
All tests except for the homing tests are now working again with the
librustuv/libgreen refactoring. The homing-related tests are currently commented
out and now placed in the rustuv::homing module.
I plan on refactoring scheduler pool spawning in order to enable more homing
tests in a future commit.
This commit introduces a new crate called "native" which will be the crate that
implements the 1:1 runtime of rust. This currently entails having an
implementation of std::rt::Runtime inside of libnative as well as moving all of
the native I/O implementations to libnative.
The current snag is that the start lang item must currently be defined in
libnative in order to start running, but this will change in the future.
Cool fact about this crate, there are no extra features that are enabled.
Note that this commit does not include any makefile support necessary for
building libnative, that's all coming in a later commit.
Printing is an incredibly useful debugging utility, and it's not much help if
your debugging prints just trigger an obscure abort when you need them most. In
order to handle this case, forcibly fall back to a libc::write implementation of
printing whenever a local task is not available.
Note that this is *not* a 1:1 fallback. All 1:1 rust tasks will still have a
local Task that it can go through (and stdio will be created through the local
IO factory), this is only a fallback for "no context" rust code (such as that
setting up the context).
It is not the case that all programs will always be able to acquire an instance
of the LocalIo borrow, so this commit exposes this limitation by returning
Option<LocalIo> from LocalIo::borrow().
At the same time, a helper method LocalIo::maybe_raise() has been added in order
to encapsulate the functionality of raising on io_error if there is on local I/O
available.
This module contains many M:N specific concepts. This will no longer be
available with libgreen, and most functions aren't really that necessary today
anyway. New testing primitives will be introduced as they become available for
1:1 and M:N.
A new io::test module is introduced with the new ip4/ip6 address helpers to
continue usage in io tests.
Could prevent callers from catching the situation and lead to e.g early
iterator terminations (cf. `Reader::read_byte`) since `None` is only to
be returned only on EOF.

This adds a bunch of useful Reader and Writer implementations. I'm not a
huge fan of the name `util` but I can't think of a better name and I
don't want to make `std::io` any longer than it already is.

- `Buffer.lines()` returns `LineIterator` which yields line using
`.read_line()`.
- `Reader.bytes()` now takes `&mut self` instead of `self`.
- `Reader.read_until()` swallows `EndOfFile`. This also affects
`.read_line()`.
This reverts commit c54427ddfb.
