This drops more of the old C++ runtime to rather be written in rust. A few
features were lost along the way, but hopefully not too many. The main loss is
that there are no longer backtraces associated with allocations (rust doesn't
have a way of acquiring those just yet). Other than that though, I believe that
the rest of the debugging utilities made their way over into rust.
Closes#8704
Visit the free functions of std::vec and reimplement or remove some. Most prominently, remove `each_permutation` and replace with two iterators, ElementSwaps and Permutations.
Replace unzip, unzip_slice with an updated `unzip` that works with an iterator argument.
Replace each_permutation with a Permutation iterator. The new permutation iterator is more efficient since it uses an algorithm that produces permutations in an order where each is only one element swap apart, including swapping back to the original state with one swap at the end.
Unify the seldomly used functions `build`, `build_sized`, `build_sized_opt` into just one function `build`.
Remove `equal_sizes`
These functions have very few users since they are mostly replaced by
iterator-based constructions.
Convert a few remaining users in-tree, and reduce the number of
functions by basically renaming build_sized_opt to build, and removing
the other two. This for both the vec and the at_vec versions.
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.
This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.
- 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
This moves the raw struct layout of closures, vectors, boxes, and strings into a
new `unstable::raw` module. This is meant to be a centralized location to find
information for the layout of these values.
As safe method, `repr`, is provided to convert a rust value to its raw
representation. Unsafe methods to convert back are not provided because they are
rarely used and too numerous to write an implementation for each (not much of a
common pattern).
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.
