Externally loaded libraries are able to do things that cause references
to them to survive past the expansion phase (e.g. creating @-box cycles,
launching a task or storing something in task local data). As such, the
library has to stay loaded for the lifetime of the process.
This patch gets rid of ObsoleteExternModAttributesInParens and
ObsoleteNamedExternModule since the replacement of `extern mod` with
`extern crate` avoids those cases and raises different errors. Both have
been around for at least a version which makes this a good moment to get
rid of them.
This patch adds a new keyword `crate` which is intended to replace mod
in the context of `extern mod` as part of the issue #9880. The patch
doesn't replace all `extern mod` cases since it is necessary to first
push a new snapshot 0.
The implementation could've been less invasive than this. However I
preferred to take this chance to split the `parse_item_foreign_mod`
method and pull the `extern crate` part out of there, hence the new
method `parse_item_foreign_crate`.
This patch replaces all `crate` usage with `krate` before introducing the
new keyword. This ensures that after introducing the keyword, there
won't be any compilation errors.
krate might not be the most expressive substitution for crate but it's a
very close abbreviation for it. `module` was already used in several
places already.
While working on #11363 I stumbled over a couple of ignored tests, that seem to be fixed or invalid.
* src/test/run-pass/issue-3559.rs was fixed in #4726
* src/test/compile-fail/borrowck-call-sendfn.rs was fixed in #2978
* update src/test/compile-fail/issue-5500-1.rs to work with current Rust (I'm not 100% sure if the original condition is tested as mentioned in #5500, but I think so)
* removed src/test/compile-fail/issue-5500.rs because it is tested in
src/test/run-fail/issue-5500.rs (they are the same test cases, I just renamed src/test/run-fail/addr-of-bot.rs to be consistent with the other issue name

Currently, a scheduler will hit epoll() or kqueue() at the end of *every task*.
The reason is that the scheduler will context switch back to the scheduler task,
terminate the previous task, and then return from run_sched_once. In doing so,
the scheduler will poll for any active I/O.
This shows up painfully in benchmarks that have no I/O at all. For example, this
benchmark:
for _ in range(0, 1000000) {
spawn(proc() {});
}
In this benchmark, the scheduler is currently wasting a good chunk of its time
hitting epoll() when there's always active work to be done (run with
RUST_THREADS=1).
This patch uses the previous two commits to alter the scheduler's behavior to
only return from run_sched_once if no work could be found when trying really
really hard. If there is active I/O, this commit will perform the same as
before, falling back to epoll() to check for I/O completion (to not starve I/O
tasks).
In the benchmark above, I got the following numbers:
12.554s on today's master
3.861s with #12172 applied
2.261s with both this and #12172 applied
cc #8341
This is in preparation for running do_work in a loop while there are no active
I/O handles. This changes the do_work and interpret_message_queue methods to
return a triple where the last element is a boolean flag as to whether work was
done or not.
This commit preserves the same behavior as before, it simply re-structures the
code in preparation for future work.
The green scheduler can optimize its runtime based on this by deciding to not go
to sleep in epoll() if there is no active I/O and there is a task to be stolen.
This is implemented for librustuv by keeping a count of the number of tasks
which are currently homed. If a task is homed, and then performs a blocking I/O
operation, the count will be nonzero while the task is blocked. The homing count
is intentionally 0 when there are I/O handles, but no handles currently blocked.
The reason for this is that epoll() would only be used to wake up the scheduler
anyway.
The crux of this change was to have a `HomingMissile` contain a mutable borrowed
reference back to the `HomeHandle`. The rest of the change was just dealing with
this fallout. This reference is used to decrement the homed handle count in a
HomingMissile's destructor.
Also note that the count maintained is not atomic because all of its
increments/decrements/reads are all on the same I/O thread.
This adopts the rules posted in #10432:
1. If a seek position is negative, then an error is generated
2. Seeks beyond the end-of-file are allowed. Future writes will fill the gap
with data and future reads will return errors.
3. Seeks within the bounds of a file are fine.
Closes#10432
Cleans up a few issues with `fourcc`:
* Corrects the endianness in the docs example
* Removes `#[cfg(not(test))]` (bors might not build this on Windows. If the build fails, I'll re-add it)
* Adds a FIXME referencing the LLVM assert issue we encountered with bors builds on Windows (Same error as #10872)
Loadable syntax extensions don't work when cross compiling (see #12102), so the
fourcc tests all need to be ignored. They're valuable tests, so they shouldn't
be outright ignored, so they're now flagged with ignore-cross-compile

The user-facing API-level change of this commit is that `SharedChan` is gone and `Chan` now has `clone`. The major parts of this patch are the internals which have changed.
Channels are now internally upgraded from oneshots to streams to shared channels depending on the use case. I've noticed a 3x improvement in the oneshot case and very little slowdown (if any) in the stream/shared case.
This patch is mostly a reorganization of the `std::comm` module, and the large increase in code is from either dispatching to one of 3 impls or the duplication between the stream/shared impl (because they're not entirely separate).
The `comm` module is now divided into `oneshot`, `stream`, `shared`, and `select` modules. Each module contains the implementation for that flavor of channel (or the select implementation for select).
Some notable parts of this patch
* Upgrades are done through a semi-ad-hoc scheme for oneshots and messages for streams
* Upgrades are processed ASAP and have some interesting interactions with select
* send_deferred is gone because I expect the mutex to land before this
* Some of stream/shared is straight-up duplicated, but I like having the distinction between the two modules
* Select got a little worse, but it's still "basically limping along"
* This lumps in the patch of deallocating the queue backlog on packet drop
* I'll rebase this on top of the "more errors from try_recv" patch once it lands (all the infrastructure is here already)
All in all, this shouldn't be merged until the new mutexes are merged (because send_deferred wasn't implemented).
Closes#11351
This is an attempt to remove some more of Rust's dependencies on libgcc and replace it with LLVM's compiler-rt lib. I've added compiler-rt as a submodule and changed libstd to link with it.
As far as I could verify, after this change, the only symbols still imported by std from libgcc are the stack unwinding functions. Other crates, however, still picked up symbols from libgcc, not from libstd, as I had hoped. So linking definitely requires some work.
I've only tested this on windows, 32-bit linux and android and fully expect it to fail on other platforms. Patches are welcome.
This, the Nth rewrite of channels, is not a rewrite of the core logic behind
channels, but rather their API usage. In the past, we had the distinction
between oneshot, stream, and shared channels, but the most recent rewrite
dropped oneshots in favor of streams and shared channels.
This distinction of stream vs shared has shown that it's not quite what we'd
like either, and this moves the `std::comm` module in the direction of "one
channel to rule them all". There now remains only one Chan and one Port.
This new channel is actually a hybrid oneshot/stream/shared channel under the
hood in order to optimize for the use cases in question. Additionally, this also
reduces the cognitive burden of having to choose between a Chan or a SharedChan
in an API.
My simple benchmarks show no reduction in efficiency over the existing channels
today, and a 3x improvement in the oneshot case. I sadly don't have a
pre-last-rewrite compiler to test out the old old oneshots, but I would imagine
that the performance is comparable, but slightly slower (due to atomic reference
counting).
This commit also brings the bonus bugfix to channels that the pending queue of
messages are all dropped when a Port disappears rather then when both the Port
and the Chan disappear.
Beforehand, using a concurrent queue always mandated that the "shared state" be
stored internally to the queues in order to provide a safe interface. This isn't
quite as flexible as one would want in some circumstances, so instead this
commit moves the queues to not containing the shared state.
The queues no longer have a "default useful safe" interface, but rather a
"default safe" interface (minus the useful part). The queues have to be shared
manually through an Arc or some other means. This allows them to be a little
more flexible at the cost of a usability hindrance.
I plan on using this new flexibility to upgrade a channel to a shared channel
seamlessly.
I implemented an add method for the btree in progress. It is intended to be refactored later using an alternative to .clone() that passes the borrow checker, but for now, it works as intended. r? @catamorphism
I factored the commits by affected files, for the most part. The last 7 or 8 contain the meat of the PR. The rest are small changes to closures found in the codebase. Maybe interesting to read to see some of the impact of the rules.
