This makes the `in-header`, `markdown-before-content`, and `markdown-after-content` options available to `rustdoc` when generating documentation for any crate.
Before, these options were only available when creating documentation *from* markdown. Now, they are available when generating documentation from source.
This also updates the `rustdoc -h` output to reflect these changes. It does not update the `man rustdoc` page, nor does it update the documentation in [the `rustdoc` manual](http://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc.html).
Libcore's test infrastructure is complicated by the fact that many lang
items are defined in the crate. The current approach (realcore/realstd
imports) is hacky and hard to work with (tests inside of core::cmp
haven't been run for months!).
Moving tests to a separate crate does mean that they can only test the
public API of libcore, but I don't feel that that is too much of an
issue. The only tests that I had to get rid of were some checking the
various numeric formatters, but those are also exercised through normal
format! calls in other tests.
In line with what @brson, @cmr, @nikomatsakis and I discussed this morning, my
redux of the tutorial will be implemented as the Guide. This way, I can work in
small iterations, rather than dropping a huge PR, which is hard to review. In
addition, the community can observe my work as I'm doing it.
This adds a note in line with [this comment][reddit] that clarifies the state
of the tutorial, and the community's involvement with it.

This involved a few changes to the local build system:
* Makefiles now prefer our own LD_LIBRARY_PATH over the user's LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in order to support building rust with rust already installed.
* The compiletest program was taught to correctly pass through the aux dir as a
component of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in more situations.
This change was spliced out of #14832 to consist of just the fixes to running
tests without an rpath setting embedded in executables.
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.
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.
This adds a new configure option, --jemalloc-root, which will specify a location
at which libjemalloc_pic.a must live. This library is then used for the build
triple as the jemalloc library to link.
This commit is the final step in the libstd facade, #13851. The purpose of this
commit is to move libsync underneath the standard library, behind the facade.
This will allow core primitives like channels, queues, and atomics to all live
in the same location.
There were a few notable changes and a few breaking changes as part of this
movement:
* The `Vec` and `String` types are reexported at the top level of libcollections
* The `unreachable!()` macro was copied to libcore
* The `std::rt::thread` module was moved to librustrt, but it is still
reexported at the same location.
* The `std::comm` module was moved to libsync
* The `sync::comm` module was moved under `sync::comm`, and renamed to `duplex`.
It is now a private module with types/functions being reexported under
`sync::comm`. This is a breaking change for any existing users of duplex
streams.
* All concurrent queues/deques were moved directly under libsync. They are also
all marked with #![experimental] for now if they are public.
* The `task_pool` and `future` modules no longer live in libsync, but rather
live under `std::sync`. They will forever live at this location, but they may
move to libsync if the `std::task` module moves as well.

When generating documentation, rustdoc has the ability to generate relative
links within the current distribution of crates to one another. To do this, it
must recognize when a crate's documentation is in the same output directory. The
current threshold for "local documentation for crate X being available" is
whether the directory "doc/X" exists.
This change modifies the build system to have new dependencies for each
directory of upstream crates for a rustdoc invocation. This will ensure that
when building documentation that all the crates in the standard distribution are
guaranteed to have relative links to one another.
This change is prompted by guaranteeing that offline docs always work with one
another. Before this change, races could mean that some docs were built before
others, and hence may have http links when relative links would suffice.

As part of the libstd facade efforts, this commit extracts the runtime interface
out of the standard library into a standalone crate, librustrt. This crate will
provide the following services:
* Definition of the rtio interface
* Definition of the Runtime interface
* Implementation of the Task structure
* Implementation of task-local-data
* Implementation of task failure via unwinding via libunwind
* Implementation of runtime initialization and shutdown
* Implementation of thread-local-storage for the local rust Task
Notably, this crate avoids the following services:
* Thread creation and destruction. The crate does not require the knowledge of
an OS threading system, and as a result it seemed best to leave out the
`rt::thread` module from librustrt. The librustrt module does depend on
mutexes, however.
* Implementation of backtraces. There is no inherent requirement for the runtime
to be able to generate backtraces. As will be discussed later, this
functionality continues to live in libstd rather than librustrt.
As usual, a number of architectural changes were required to make this crate
possible. Users of "stable" functionality will not be impacted by this change,
but users of the `std::rt` module will likely note the changes. A list of
architectural changes made is:
* The stdout/stderr handles no longer live directly inside of the `Task`
structure. This is a consequence of librustrt not knowing about `std::io`.
These two handles are now stored inside of task-local-data.
The handles were originally stored inside of the `Task` for perf reasons, and
TLD is not currently as fast as it could be. For comparison, 100k prints goes
from 59ms to 68ms (a 15% slowdown). This appeared to me to be an acceptable
perf loss for the successful extraction of a librustrt crate.
* The `rtio` module was forced to duplicate more functionality of `std::io`. As
the module no longer depends on `std::io`, `rtio` now defines structures such
as socket addresses, addrinfo fiddly bits, etc. The primary change made was
that `rtio` now defines its own `IoError` type. This type is distinct from
`std::io::IoError` in that it does not have an enum for what error occurred,
but rather a platform-specific error code.
The native and green libraries will be updated in later commits for this
change, and the bulk of this effort was put behind updating the two libraries
for this change (with `rtio`).
* Printing a message on task failure (along with the backtrace) continues to
live in libstd, not in librustrt. This is a consequence of the above decision
to move the stdout/stderr handles to TLD rather than inside the `Task` itself.
The unwinding API now supports registration of global callback functions which
will be invoked when a task fails, allowing for libstd to register a function
to print a message and a backtrace.
The API for registering a callback is experimental and unsafe, as the
ramifications of running code on unwinding is pretty hairy.
* The `std::unstable::mutex` module has moved to `std::rt::mutex`.
* The `std::unstable::sync` module has been moved to `std::rt::exclusive` and
the type has been rewritten to not internally have an Arc and to have an RAII
guard structure when locking. Old code should stop using `Exclusive` in favor
of the primitives in `libsync`, but if necessary, old code should port to
`Arc<Exclusive<T>>`.
* The local heap has been stripped down to have fewer debugging options. None of
these were tested, and none of these have been used in a very long time.

This grows a new option inside of rustdoc to add the ability to submit examples
to an external website. If the `--markdown-playground-url` command line option
or crate doc attribute `html_playground_url` is present, then examples will have
a button on hover to submit the code to the playground specified.
This commit enables submission of example code to play.rust-lang.org. The code
submitted is that which is tested by rustdoc, not necessarily the exact code
shown in the example.
Closes#14654
As with the previous commit with `librand`, this commit shuffles around some
`collections` code. The new state of the world is similar to that of librand:
* The libcollections crate now only depends on libcore and liballoc.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::collections`. All functionality
of libcollections is reexported through this module.
I would like to stress that this change is purely cosmetic. There are very few
alterations to these primitives.
There are a number of notable points about the new organization:
* std::{str, slice, string, vec} all moved to libcollections. There is no reason
that these primitives shouldn't be necessarily usable in a freestanding
context that has allocation. These are all reexported in their usual places in
the standard library.
* The `hashmap`, and transitively the `lru_cache`, modules no longer reside in
`libcollections`, but rather in libstd. The reason for this is because the
`HashMap::new` contructor requires access to the OSRng for initially seeding
the hash map. Beyond this requirement, there is no reason that the hashmap
could not move to libcollections.
I do, however, have a plan to move the hash map to the collections module. The
`HashMap::new` function could be altered to require that the `H` hasher
parameter ascribe to the `Default` trait, allowing the entire `hashmap` module
to live in libcollections. The key idea would be that the default hasher would
be different in libstd. Something along the lines of:
// src/libstd/collections/mod.rs
pub type HashMap<K, V, H = RandomizedSipHasher> =
core_collections::HashMap<K, V, H>;
This is not possible today because you cannot invoke static methods through
type aliases. If we modified the compiler, however, to allow invocation of
static methods through type aliases, then this type definition would
essentially be switching the default hasher from `SipHasher` in libcollections
to a libstd-defined `RandomizedSipHasher` type. This type's `Default`
implementation would randomly seed the `SipHasher` instance, and otherwise
perform the same as `SipHasher`.
This future state doesn't seem incredibly far off, but until that time comes,
the hashmap module will live in libstd to not compromise on functionality.
* In preparation for the hashmap moving to libcollections, the `hash` module has
moved from libstd to libcollections. A previously snapshotted commit enables a
distinct `Writer` trait to live in the `hash` module which `Hash`
implementations are now parameterized over.
Due to using a custom trait, the `SipHasher` implementation has lost its
specialized methods for writing integers. These can be re-added
backwards-compatibly in the future via default methods if necessary, but the
FNV hashing should satisfy much of the need for speedier hashing.
A list of breaking changes:
* HashMap::{get, get_mut} no longer fails with the key formatted into the error
message with `{:?}`, instead, a generic message is printed. With backtraces,
it should still be not-too-hard to track down errors.
* The HashMap, HashSet, and LruCache types are now available through
std::collections instead of the collections crate.
* Manual implementations of hash should be parameterized over `hash::Writer`
instead of just `Writer`.
[breaking-change]
This commit shuffles around some of the `rand` code, along with some
reorganization. The new state of the world is as follows:
* The librand crate now only depends on libcore. This interface is experimental.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::rand`. This interface will
eventually become stable.
Unfortunately, this entailed more of a breaking change than just shuffling some
names around. The following breaking changes were made to the rand library:
* Rng::gen_vec() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_iter() which
will return an infinite stream of random values. Previous behavior can be
regained with `rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()`
* Rng::gen_ascii_str() was removed. This has been replaced with
Rng::gen_ascii_chars() which will return an infinite stream of random ascii
characters. Similarly to gen_iter(), previous behavior can be emulated with
`rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()`
* {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all
relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer
available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same
functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be
generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows
the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs.
* Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be
pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for librand to not depend on
liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not
supported. If this is undesirable, librand can depend on liballoc and regain
these implementations.
* The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`,
but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice
structure now has a lifetime associated with it.
* The `sample` method on `Rng` has been moved to a top-level function in the
`rand` module due to its dependence on `Vec`.

This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.
Closes#12019

I mostly tried to remain backwards compatible with old invocations of
the `configure` script; if you do not want to use `CC` et al., you
should not have to; you can keep using `--enable-clang` and/or
`--enable-ccache`.
The overall intention is to capture the following precedences for
guessing the C compiler:
1. Value of `CC` at make invocation time.
2. Value of `CC` at configure invocation time.
3. Compiler inferred at configure invocation time (`gcc` or `clang`).
The strategy is to check (at `configure` time) if each of the
environment variables is set, and if so, save its value in a
corresponding `CFG_` variable (e.g. `CFG_CC`).
Then, in the makefiles, if `CC` is not set but `CFG_CC` is, then we
use the `CFG_CC` setting as `CC`.
Also, I fold the potential user-provided `CFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS`
values into all of the per-platform `CFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS` settings.
(This was opposed to adding `$(CFLAGS)` in an ad-hoc manner to various
parts of the mk files.)
Fix#13805.
----
Note that if you try to set the compiler to clang via the `CC` and
`CXX` environment variables, you will probably need to also set
`CXXFLAGS` to `--enable-libcpp` so that LLVM will be configured
properly.
----
Introduce CFG_USING_CLANG, which is distinguished from
CFG_ENABLE_CLANG because the former represents "we think we're using
clang, choose appropriate warning-control options" while the latter
represents "we asked configure (or the host required) that we attempt
to use clang, so check that we have an appropriate version of clang."
The main reason I added this is that I wanted to allow the user to
choose clang via setting the `CC` environment variable, but I did not
want that method of selection to get confused with the user passing
the `--enable-clang` option.
----
A digression: The `configure` script does not infer the compiler
setting if `CC` is set; but if `--enable-clang` was passed, then it
*does* still attempt to validate that the clang version is compatible.
Supporting this required revising `CLANG_VERSION` check to be robust
in face of user-provided `CC` value.
In particular, on Travis, the `CC` is set to `gcc` and so the natural
thing to do is to attempt to use `gcc` as the compiler, but Travis is
also passing `--enable-clang` to configure. So, what is the right
answer in the face of these contradictory requests?
One approach would be to have `--enable-clang` supersede the setting
for `CC` (and instead just call whatever we inferred for `CFG_CLANG`).
That sounds maximally inflexible to me (pnkfelix): a developer
requesting a `CC` value probably wants it respected, and should be
able to set it to something else; it is harder for that developer to
hack our configure script to change its inferred path to clang.
A second approach would be to blindly use the `CC` value but keep
going through the clang version check when `--enable-clang` is turned
on. But on Travis (a Linux host), the `gcc` invocation won't print a
clang version, so we would not get past the CLANG_VERSION check in
that context.
A third approach would be to never run the CLANG_VERSION check if `CC`
is explicitly set. That is not a terrible idea; but if the user uses
`CC` to pass in a path to some other version of clang that they want
to test, probably should still send that through the `CLANG_VERSION`
check.
So in the end I (pnkfelix) took a fourth approach: do the
CLANG_VERSION check if `CC` is unset *or* if `CC` is set to a string
ending with `clang`. This way setting `CC` to things like
`path/to/clang` or `ccache clang` will still go through the
CLANG_VERSION check, while setting `CC` to `gcc` or some unknown
compiler will skip the CLANG_VERSION check (regardless of whether the
user passed --enable-clang to `configure`).
----
Drive-by fixes:
* The call that sets `CFG_CLANG_VERSION` was quoting `"$CFG_CC"` in
its invocation, but that does not play nicely with someone who sets
`$CFG_CC` to e.g. `ccache clang`, since you do not want to intepret
that whole string as a command.
(On the other hand, a path with spaces might need the quoted
invocation. Not sure which one of these corner use-cases is more
important to support.)
* Fix chk_cc error message to point user at `gcc` not `cc`.
Two line summary: Distinguish HOST_RPATH and TARGET_RPATH; added
RPATH_LINK_SEARCH; skip tests broken in stage1; general cleanup.
`HOST_RPATH_VAR$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3)` and `TARGET_RPATH_VAR$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3)`
both match the format of the old `RPATH_VAR$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3)` (which
is still being set the same way that it was before, to one of either
HOST/TARGET depending on what stage we are building). Namely, the format
is <XXX>_RPATH_VAR = "<LD_LIB_PATH_ENVVAR>=<COLON_SEP_PATH_ENTRIES>"
What this commit does:
* Pass both of the (newly introduced) HOST and TARGET rpath setup vars
to `maketest.py`
* Update `maketest.py` to no longer update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH itself
Instead, it passes along the HOST and TARGET rpath setup vars in
environment variables `HOST_RPATH_ENV` and `TARGET_RPATH_ENV`
* Also, pass the current stage number to maketest.py; it in turn
passes it (via an env var) to run-make tests.
This allows the run-make tests to selectively change behavior
(e.g. turn themselves off) to deal with incompatibilities with
e.g. stage1.
* Cleanup: Distinguish in tools.mk between the command to run (`RUN`)
and the file to generate to drive that command (`RUN_BINFILE`). The
main thing this enables is that `RUN` can now setup the
`TARGET_RPATH_ENV` without having to dirty up the runner code in
each of the `run-make` Makefiles.
* Cleanup: Factored out commands to delete dylib/rlib into
REMOVE_DYLIBS/REMOVE_RLIBS.
There were places where we were only calling `rm $(call DYLIB,foo)`
even though we really needed to get rid of the whole glob (at least
based on alex's findings on #13753 that removing the symlink does not
suffice).
Therefore rather than peppering the code with the awkward
`rm $(TMPDIR)/$(call DYLIB_GLOB,foo)`, I instead introduced a common
`REMOVE_DYLIBS` user function that expands into that when called.
After I adding an analogous `REMOVE_RLIBS`, I changed all of the
existing calls that rm dylibs or rlibs to use these routines
instead.
Note that the latter is not a true refactoring since I may have
changed cases where it was our intent to only remove the sym-link.
(But if that is the case, then we need to more deeply investigate
alex's findings on #13753 where the system was still dynamically
loading up the non-symlinked libraries that it finds on the load
path.)
* Added RPATH_LINK_SEARCH command and use it on Linux.
On some platforms, namely Linux, when you have libboot.so that has
its internal rpath set (to e.g. $(ORIGIN)/path/to/HOSTDIR), the
linker still complains when you do the link step and it does not
know where to find libraries that libboot.so depends upon that live
in HOSTDIR (think e.g. librustuv.so).
As far as I can tell, the GNU linker will consult the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH as part of the linking process to find such
libraries. But if you want to be more careful and not override
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the `gcc` invocation, then you need some other
way to tell the linker where it can find the libraries that
libboot.so needs. The solution to this on Linux is the
`-Wl,-rpath-link` command line option.
However, this command line option does not exist on Mac OS X, (which
appears to be figuring out how to resolve the libboot.dylib
dependency by some other means, perhaps by consulting the rpath
setting within libboot.dylib).
So, in order to abstract over this distinction, I added the
RPATH_LINK_SEARCH macro to the run-make infrastructure and added
calls to it where necessary to get Linux working. On architectures
other than Linux, the macro expands to nothing.
* Disable miscellaneous tests atop stage1.
* An especially interesting instance of the previous bullet point:
Excuse regex from doing rustdoc tests atop stage1.
This was a (nearly-) final step to get `make check-stage1` working
again.
The use of a special-case check for regex here is ugly but is
analogous other similar checks for regex such as the one that landed
in PR #13844.
The way this is written, the user will get a reminder that
doc-crate-regex is being skipped whenever their rules attempt to do
the crate documentation tests. This is deliberate: I want people
running `make check-stage1` to be reminded about which cases are
being skipped. (But if such echo noise is considered offensive, it
can obviously be removed.)
* Got windows working with the above changes.
This portion of the commit is a cleanup revision of the (previously
mentioned on try builds) re-architecting of how the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setup and extension is handled in order to accommodate Windows' (1.)
use of `$PATH` for that purpose and (2.) use of spaces in `$PATH`
entries (problematic for make and for interoperation with tools at
the shell).
* In addition, since the code has been rearchitected to pass the
HOST_RPATH_DIR/TARGET_RPATH_DIR rather than a whole sh
environment-variable setting command, there is no need to for the
convert_path_spec calls in maketest.py, which in fact were put in
place to placate Windows but were now causing the Windows builds to
fail. Instead we just convert the paths to absolute paths just like
all of the other path arguments.
Also, note for makefile hackers: apparently you cannot quote operands
to `ifeq` in Makefile (or at least, you need to be careful about
adding them, e.g. to only one side).
This commit is part of the libstd facade RFC, issue #13851. This creates a new
library, liballoc, which is intended to be the core allocation library for all
of Rust. It is pinned on the basic assumption that an allocation failure is an
abort or failure.
This module has inherited the heap/libc_heap modules from std::rt, the owned/rc
modules from std, and the arc module from libsync. These three pointers are
currently the three most core pointer implementations in Rust.
The UnsafeArc type in std::sync should be considered deprecated and replaced by
Arc<Unsafe<T>>. This commit does not currently migrate to this type, but future
commits will continue this refactoring.
