Sorry this is so huge, but it's been accumulating for about a month. There's lots of stuff here, mostly oriented toward enabling multithreaded scheduling and improving compatibility between the old and new runtimes. Adds task pinning so that we can create the 'platform thread' in servo.
[Here](e1555f9b56/src/libstd/rt/mod.rs (L201)) is the current runtime setup code.
About half of this has already been reviewed.
The free-standing functions in f32, f64, i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16,
u32, u64, float, int, and uint are replaced with generic functions in
num instead.
This means that instead of having to know everywhere what the type is, like
~~~
f64::sin(x)
~~~
You can simply write code that uses the type-generic versions in num instead, this works for all types that implement the corresponding trait in num.
~~~
num::sin(x)
~~~
Note 1: If you were previously using any of those functions, just replace them
with the corresponding function with the same name in num.
Note 2: If you were using a function that corresponds to an operator, use the
operator instead.
Note 3: This is just https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/7090 reopened against master.
Basically, one may just do:
MemoryMap::new(16, ~[
MapExecutable,
MapReadable,
MapWritable
])
And executable+readable+writable chunk of at least 16 bytes size will be
allocated and freed with the result of `MemoryMap::new`.
Correct treatment of irrefutable patterns. The old code was wrong in many, many ways. `ref` bindings didn't work, it sometimes copied when it should have moved, the borrow checker didn't even look at such patterns at all, we weren't consistent about preventing values with destructors from being pulled apart, etc.

Avoids the overhead of read_char for every character.

Regression testing is already done by isrustfastyet.
In particular, it is not valid to go around passing uninitialized or zero'd
memory as arguments. Rust should generally be free to assume that the arguments
it gets are valid input values, but the output of intrinsics::uninit() and
intrinsics::init() are not (e.g., an @T is just null, leading to an error
if we should try to increment the ref count).

This is work continued from the now landed #7495 and #7521 pulls.
Removing the headers from unique vectors is another project, so I've separated the allocator.
