I think it's WIP - but I wanted to ask for feedback (/cc @thestinger)
I had to move the impl of FromIter for vec into extra::iter because I don't think std can depend on extra, but that's a bit messed up. Similarly some FromIter uses are gone now, not sure if this is fixable or if I made a complete mess here..
Continuation of #7430.
I haven't removed the `map` method, since the replacement `v.iter().transform(f).collect::<~[SomeType]>()` is a little ridiculous at the moment.
With these changes, exchange allocator headers are never initialized, read or written to. Removing the header will now just involve updating the code in trans using an offset to only do it if the type contained is managed.
The only thing blocking removing the initialization of the last field in the header was ~fn since it uses it to store the dynamic size/types due to captures. I temporarily switched it to a `closure_exchange_alloc` lang item (it uses the same `exchange_free`) and #7496 is filed about removing that.
Since the `exchange_free` call is now inlined all over the codebase, I don't think we should have an assert for null. It doesn't currently ever happen, but it would be fine if we started generating code that did do it. The `exchange_free` function also had a comment declaring that it must not fail, but a regular assert would cause a failure. I also removed the atomic counter because valgrind can already find these leaks, and we have valgrind bots now.
Note that exchange free does not currently print an error an out-of-memory when it aborts, because our `io` code may allocate. We could probably get away with a `#[rust_stack]` call to a `stdio` function but it would be better to make a write system call.
Add method .move_from() to MutableVector, which consumes another vector
and moves elements into the receiver.
Add new trait MutableCloneableVector with one method .copy_from(), which
clones elements from another vector into the receiver.
This sets the `get_tydesc()` return type correctly and removes the intrinsic module. See #3730, #3475.
Update: this now also removes the unused shape fields in tydescs.
the `test/run-pass/class-trait-bounded-param.rs` test was xfailed and
written in an ancient dialect of Rust so I've just removed it
this also removes `to_vec` from DList because it's provided by
`std::iter::to_vec`
an Iterator implementation is added for OptVec but some transitional
internal iterator methods are still left
To achieve this, the following changes were made:
* Move TyDesc, TyVisitor and Opaque to std::unstable::intrinsics
* Convert TyDesc, TyVisitor and Opaque to lang items instead of specially
handling the intrinsics module
* Removed TypeDesc, FreeGlue and get_type_desc() from sys
Fixes#3475.
I removed the `static-method-test.rs` test because it was heavily based
on `BaseIter` and there are plenty of other more complex uses of static
methods anyway.
The removed test for issue #2611 is well covered by the `std::iterator`
module itself.
This adds the `count` method to `IteratorUtil` to replace `EqIter`.
