The aim of these changes is not working out a generic bi-endianness architectures support but to allow people develop for little endian MIPS machines (issue #7190).
* 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.

The following features have been removed
* box [a, b, c]
* ~[a, b, c]
* box [a, ..N]
* ~[a, ..N]
* ~[T] (as a type)
* deprecated_owned_vector lint
All users of ~[T] should move to using Vec<T> instead.
These functions are all much better expressed via RAII using the to_utf16()
method on strings. This refactoring also takes this opportunity to properly
handle when filenames aren't valid unicode when passed through to the windows
I/O layer by properly returning I/O errors.
All previous users of the `as_utf16_p` or `as_utf16_mut_p` functions will need
to convert their code to using `foo.to_utf16().append_one(0)` to get a
null-terminated utf16 string.

This commit removes the <M: Any + Send> type parameter from Option::expect in
favor of just taking a hard-coded `&str` argument. This allows this function to
move into libcore.
Previous code using strings with `expect` will continue to work, but code using
this implicitly to transmit task failure will need to unwrap manually with a
`match` statement.

Closes#14008
Adds a platform-specific function, `split_paths` to the `os` module. This
function can be used to parse PATH-like environment variables according to
local platform conventions.
Closes#14352.
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`.

[breaking-change]
With the test runner using ::std::os::args(), and std::std::os now being
a re-export of realstd::os, there's no more need for realstd stuff
mucking up rt::args.
Remove the one test of os::args(), as it's not very useful and it won't
work anymore now that rt::args doesn't use realstd.
* All of the *_val functions have gone from #[unstable] to #[stable]
* The overwrite and zeroed functions have gone from #[unstable] to #[stable]
* The uninit function is now deprecated, replaced by its stable counterpart,
uninitialized

1. Wherever the `buf` field of a `Formatter` was used, the `Formatter` is used
instead.
2. The usage of `write_fmt` is minimized as much as possible, the `write!` macro
is preferred wherever possible.
3. Usage of `fmt::write` is minimized, favoring the `write!` macro instead.
Changed libnative to use CreateProcessW instead of CreateProcessA. In
addition, the lpEnvironment parameter now uses Unicode.
Added a helper function os::win32::as_mut_utf16_p, which does basically
the same thing as os::win32::as_utf16_p except the pointer is mutable.

This moves as much allocation as possible from teh std::str module into
core::str. This includes essentially all non-allocating functionality, mostly
iterators and slicing and such.
This primarily splits the Str trait into only having the as_slice() method,
adding a new StrAllocating trait to std::str which contains the relevant new
allocation methods. This is a breaking change if any of the methods of "trait
Str" were overriden. The old functionality can be restored by implementing both
the Str and StrAllocating traits.

This removes all resizability support for ~[T] vectors in preparation of DST.
The only growable vector remaining is Vec<T>. In summary, the following methods
from ~[T] and various functions were removed. Each method/function has an
equivalent on the Vec type in std::vec unless otherwise stated.
* slice::OwnedCloneableVector
* slice::OwnedEqVector
* slice::append
* slice::append_one
* slice::build (no replacement)
* slice::bytes::push_bytes
* slice::from_elem
* slice::from_fn
* slice::with_capacity
* ~[T].capacity()
* ~[T].clear()
* ~[T].dedup()
* ~[T].extend()
* ~[T].grow()
* ~[T].grow_fn()
* ~[T].grow_set()
* ~[T].insert()
* ~[T].pop()
* ~[T].push()
* ~[T].push_all()
* ~[T].push_all_move()
* ~[T].remove()
* ~[T].reserve()
* ~[T].reserve_additional()
* ~[T].reserve_exect()
* ~[T].retain()
* ~[T].set_len()
* ~[T].shift()
* ~[T].shrink_to_fit()
* ~[T].swap_remove()
* ~[T].truncate()
* ~[T].unshift()
* ~str.clear()
* ~str.set_len()
* ~str.truncate()
Note that no other API changes were made. Existing apis that took or returned
~[T] continue to do so.
