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.

These two attributes are no longer useful now that Rust has decided to leave
segmented stacks behind. It is assumed that the rust task's stack is always
large enough to make an FFI call (due to the stack being very large).
There's always the case of stack overflow, however, to consider. This does not
change the behavior of stack overflow in Rust. This is still normally triggered
by the __morestack function and aborts the whole process.
C stack overflow will continue to corrupt the stack, however (as it did before
this commit as well). The future improvement of a guard page at the end of every
rust stack is still unimplemented and is intended to be the mechanism through
which we attempt to detect C stack overflow.

Almost all languages provide some form of buffering of the stdout stream, and
this commit adds this feature for rust. A handle to stdout is lazily initialized
in the Task structure as a buffered owned Writer trait object. The buffer
behavior depends on where stdout is directed to. Like C, this line-buffers the
stream when the output goes to a terminal (flushes on newlines), and also like C
this uses a fixed-size buffer when output is not directed at a terminal.
We may decide the fixed-size buffering is overkill, but it certainly does reduce
write syscall counts when piping output elsewhere. This is a *huge* benefit to
any code using logging macros or the printing macros. Formatting emits calls to
`write` very frequently, and to have each of them backed by a write syscall was
very expensive.
In a local benchmark of printing 10000 lines of "what" to stdout, I got the
following timings:
when | terminal | redirected
----------------------------------
before | 0.575s | 0.525s
after | 0.197s | 0.013s
C | 0.019s | 0.004s
I can also confirm that we're buffering the output appropriately in both
situtations. We're still far slower than C, but I believe much of that has to do
with the "homing" that all tasks due, we're still performing an order of
magnitude more write syscalls than C does.
When uv's TTY I/O is used for the stdio streams, the file descriptors are put
into a non-blocking mode. This means that other concurrent writes to the same
stream can fail with EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK. By all I/O to event-loop I/O, we
avoid this error.
There is one location which cannot move, which is the runtime's dumb_println
function. This was implemented to handle the EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK errors and
simply retry again and again.
This adds a large doc-block to the top of the std::logging module explaining how
to use it. This is mostly just making sure that all the information in the
manual's section about logging is also here (in case someone decides to look
into this module first).
This also removes the old console_{on,off} methods. As far as I can tell, the
functions were only used by the compiler, and there's no reason for them to be
used because they're all turned off by default anyway (maybe they were turned on
by default at some point...)
I believe that this is the final nail in the coffin and closes#5021
This lifts various restrictions on the runtime, for example the character limit
when logging a message. Right now the old debug!-style macros still involve
allocating (because they use fmt! syntax), but the new debug2! macros don't
involve allocating at all (unless the formatter for a type requires allocation.
A SendStr is a string that can hold either a ~str or a &'static str.
This can be useful as an optimization when an allocation is sometimes needed but the common case is statically known.
Possible use cases include Maps with both static and owned keys, or propagating error messages across task boundaries.
SendStr implements most basic traits in a way that hides the fact that it is an enum; in particular things like order and equality are only determined by the content of the wrapped strings.
Replaced std::rt:logging::SendableString with SendStr
Added tests for using an SendStr as key in Hash- and Treemaps
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.
.with_c_str() is a replacement for the old .as_c_str(), to avoid
unnecessary boilerplate.
Replace all usages of .to_c_str().with_ref() with .with_c_str().
The truncation needs to be done in the console logger in order
to catch all the logging output, and because truncation only matters
when outputting to the console.
