This patch exposes actual ownership of an `ast::Crate` structure so it's not implicitly copied and reference counted via `@`.
The main purpose for this patch was to get rid of the massive spike in memory during the start of the compiler (this can be seen on isrustfastyet). The reason that this spike exists is that during `phase_2` we're creating many copies of the crate by folding. Because these are reference counted, all instances of the old crates aren't dropped until the end of the function, which is why so much memory is accumulated.
This patch exposes true ownership of the crate, meaning that it will be destroyed ASAP when requested. There are no code changes except for dealing with actual ownership of the crate. The large spike is then avoided: http://i.imgur.com/IO3NENy.png
This shouldn't help our overall memory usage (that still is the highest at the end), but if we ever manage to bring that down it should help us not have a 1GB spike at the beginning of compilation.
(This was to un-stuck bors (hopefully).)
Previously, if tests failed, you'd only get stderr which isn't very
useful, especially if the failure didn't happen directly in a test
function (e.g None.unwrap()).
This can cause unexpected errors in the runtime when done while
scheduler threads are still initializing. Required some restructuring
of the main_args functions in our libraries.
Treating a package as the thing that can have other packages depend on it,
and depends on other packages, was wrong if a package has more than one
crate. Now, rustpkg knows about dependencies between crates in the same
package. This solves the problem reported in #7879 where rustpkg wrongly
discovered a circular dependency between thhe package and itself, and
recursed infinitely.
Closes#7879
Install to the first directory in the RUST_PATH if the user set a
RUST_PATH. In the case where RUST_PATH isn't set, the behavior
remains unchanged.
Closes#7402
rustpkg now accepts most of rustc's command-line arguments and passes
them along to rustc when building or installing.
A few rarely-used arguments aren't implemented yet.
rustpkg doesn't support flags that don't make sense with rustpkg
(for example, --bin and --lib, which get inferred from crate file names).
Closes#8522
This commit adds a rustpkg flag, --rust-path-hack, that allows
rustpkg to *search* inside package directories if they appear in
the RUST_PATH, while *building* libraries and executables into a
different target directory.
This behavior is hidden behind a flag because I believe we only
want to support it temporarily, to make it easier to port servo to
rustpkg.
This commit also includes a fix for how rustpkg fetches sources
from git repositories -- it uses a temporary directory as the target
when invoking `git clone`, then moves that directory into the workspace
if the clone was successful. (The old behavior was that when the
`git clone` failed, the empty target directory would be left lying
around anyway.)
`rustpkg build` et al were only checking one directory up to see if it
was in a dir named "src". Ditch that entirely and instead check if the
cwd is descended from any of the workspace paths. Besides being more
intelligent about whether or not something is a workspace, this also
allows for package ids composed of multiple path components.
This necessitated some cleanup to how we parse library filenames
when searching for libraries, since rustpkg may now create filenames
that contain '-' characters. Also cleaned up how rustpkg passes the
sysroot to a custom build script.
Get rid of special cases for names beginning with "rust-" or
containing hyphens, and just store a Path in a package ID. The Rust-identifier
for the crate is none of rustpkg's business.
This commit allows you to write:
extern mod x = "a/b/c";
which means rustc will search in the RUST_PATH for a package with
ID a/b/c, and bind it to the name `x` if it's found.
Incidentally, move get_relative_to from back::rpath into std::path
- 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
`crate => Crate`
`local => Local`
`blk => Block`
`crate_num => CrateNum`
`crate_cfg => CrateConfig`
Also, Crate and Local are not wrapped in spanned<T> anymore.
`rustpkg build`, if executed in a package source directory inside
a workspace, will now build that package. By "inside a workspace"
I mean that the parent directory has to be called `src`, and rustpkg
will create a `build` directory in .. if there isn't already one.
Same goes for `rustpkg install` and `rustpkg clean`.
For the time being, `rustpkg build` (etc.) will still error out if
you run it inside a directory whose parent isn't called `src`.
I'm not sure whether or not it's desirable to have it do something
in a non-workspace directory.
rustpkg can now build code from a local git repository. In the
case where the local repo is in a directory not in the RUST_PATH,
it checks out the repository into a directory in the first workspace
in the RUST_PATH.
The tests no longer try to connect to github.com, which should
solve some of the sporadic failures we've been seeing.
rustpkg/api.rs provides functions intended for package scripts to call.
It will probably need more functionality added to it later, but this is
a start.
Added a test case checking that a package script can use the API.
Closes#6401
