Forking off a child which survives the parent is often a useful task, and is
currently not possible because the Process type will invoke `wait()` in its
destructor in order to prevent leaking resources. This function adds a new safe
method, `daemonize`, which can be used to consume an instance of `Process` which
will then not call `wait` in the destructor.
This new method is clearly documented as a leak of resources, but it must be
forcibly opted in to.
Closes#14467
* os::pipe() now returns IoResult<os::Pipe>
* os::pipe() is now unsafe because it does not arrange for deallocation of file
descriptors
* os::Pipe fields are renamed from input to reader and out to write.
* PipeStream::pair() has been added. This is a safe method to get a pair of
pipes.
* Dealing with pipes in native process bindings have been improved to be more
robust in the face of failure and intermittent errors. This converts a few
fail!() situations to Err situations.

It seems in one of rebases I’ve resolved conflicts wrong and left one redundant line, it is absent in current master and it might cause compilation failure by copying file into itself.
Previous update unfortunately included changes which
broke Android compilation. This update fixes it and
should allow correct compilation of SjLj for iOS and
all builtins for Android.
This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.
Closes#14193

There was feedback gathered by @bjz which request for larger click targets in the rustdoc sidebar. Here's my attempt at that.
My only concern with this patch is the removal of `<br>` between sidebar links. This may break formatting for text-only viewers of this documentation. If there is a large enough demographic of people that will be affected, perhaps we can try switching the structure of each sidebar block sidebar to an `<ol>` with each item as a `<li>`.
* Change links to display:block for click larger targets
* Remove linebreaks due to extra space
* Adjust margins so that element spacing stays the same
* Sidebar item hover background colour chosen from `<pre>` styling
Move analyze_restrictions_on_use and check_if_path_is_moved so that all
of the code related to assignments is in a contiguous block at the end
of the file.
Implement the stronger guarantees for mutable borrows from #12624. This
removes the ability to read from a mutably borrowed path for the
duration of the borrow, and enforces a unique access path for any
mutable borrow, for both reads and writes.
This makes mutable borrows work better with concurrent accesses from
multiple threads, and it opens the door for allowing moves out of
mutably borrowed values, as long as a new value is written before the
mutable borrow ends. This also aligns Rust more closely with academic
languages based on substructural types and separation logic.
The most common situation triggering an error after this change is a
call to a function mutably borrowing self with self.field as one of the
arguments. The workaround is to bind self.field to a temporary, but the
need for these temporaries will hopefully go away after #6268 is fixed.
Another situation that triggers an error is using the head expression of
a match in an arm that binds a variable with a mutable reference. The
use of the head expression needs to be replaced with an expression that
reconstructs it from match-bound variables.
This fixes#12624.

Currently analyze_move_out_from checks all restrictions on all base
paths of the move path, but it only needs to check restrictions from
loans of the base paths, and can disregard restrictions from loans of
extensions of those base paths.
This obsoletes the old `to_err_msg` method. Replace
println!("Error: {}", failure.to_err_msg())
let string = failure.to_err_msg();
with
println!("Error: {}", failure)
let string = failure.to_str();

Rust no longer has support for JIT compilation, so it doesn't currently
require a PaX MPROTECT exception. The extended attributes are preferred
over modifying the binaries so it's not actually going to work on most
systems like this anyway.
If JIT compilation ends up being supported again, it should handle this
by *always* applying the exception via an extended attribute without
performing auto-detection of PaX on the host. The `paxctl` tool is only
necessary with the older method involving modifying the ELF binary.
Once a native mutex has been used once, it is never allowed to be moved again.
This is because some pthreads implementations take pointers inside the mutex
itself.
This commit adds stern wording around the methods on native mutexes, and fixes
one use case in the codebase. The Mutex type in libsync was susceptible to
movement, so the inner static mutex is now boxed to ensure that the address of
the native mutex is constant.
This commit fixes a bug in the calculation of the hash of a type which didn't
factor in the length of a constant-sized vector. As a result of this, a type
placed into an Any of a fixed length could be peeled out with any other fixed
length in a safe manner.
