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.

This involved changing a fair amount of code, rooted in how we access the local
IoFactory instance. I added a helper method to the rtio module to access the
optional local IoFactory. This is different than before in which it was assumed
that a local IoFactory was *always* present. Now, a separate io_error is raised
when an IoFactory is not present, yet I/O is requested.
This removes the PathLike trait associated with this "support module". This is
yet another "container of bytes" trait, so I didn't want to duplicate what
already exists throughout libstd. In actuality, we're going to pass of C strings
to the libuv APIs, so instead the arguments are now bound with the 'ToCStr'
trait instead.
Additionally, a layer of complexity was removed by immediately converting these
type-generic parameters into CStrings to get handed off to libuv apis.
This now makes it unsafe to save the pointer returned by .with_c_str
as that pointer now may be pointing at a stack allocated array.
I arbitrarily chose 32 bytes as the length of the stack vector, and
so it might not be the most optimal size.
before:
test c_str::bench::bench_with_c_str_long ... bench: 539 ns/iter (+/- 91)
test c_str::bench::bench_with_c_str_medium ... bench: 97 ns/iter (+/- 2)
test c_str::bench::bench_with_c_str_short ... bench: 70 ns/iter (+/- 5)
after:
test c_str::bench::bench_with_c_str_long ... bench: 542 ns/iter (+/- 13)
test c_str::bench::bench_with_c_str_medium ... bench: 53 ns/iter (+/- 6)
test c_str::bench::bench_with_c_str_short ... bench: 19 ns/iter (+/- 0)
The trait will keep the `Iterator` naming, but a more concise module
name makes using the free functions less verbose. The module will define
iterables in addition to iterators, as it deals with iteration in
general.
.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().
Previous dicussions about CString suggested that interior nulls should
throw an error. This was never implemented. Add this now, using a
condition (named null_byte) to allow for recovery.
Add method .to_c_str_unchecked() that skips this check.
