Previously, `BufWriter::write` would just return an `std::io::OtherIoError` if someone attempted to write past the end of the wrapped buffer. This pull request changes the error to support partial writes and return a `std::io::ShortWrite`, or an `io::io::EndOfFile` if it's been fully exhausted.
I've also optimized away a bounds check inside `BufWriter::write`, which should help shave off some nanoseconds in an inner loops.
Adds the ability to use a custom allocator heap by passing either --cfg
external_crate and --extern external=<allocator_crate_name> or --cfg
external_funcs and defining the allocator functions prefixed by 'rust_'
somewhere.
This is useful for many applications including OS/embedded development,
and allocator development and testing.
Part of #18424
Adds `capacity()` function to VecMap, as per the collections reform.
(Salvaged from #19516, #19523, while we await an RFC regarding `reserve`/`reserve_index` for `VecMap`)
Right now, `DerefMut` is not `for Sized?`, so you can't impl `DerefMut<T> for Foo` where `Foo` is unsized. However, there is no reason that it can't be `for Sized?`, so this pull request fixes the issue.
Closes#19493.
We heavily rely on queries and fragments in the URL structure, so it is desired to preserve them even in the redirects. The generated redirect pages try to preserve them with scripts, which take precedence over the original `Refresh` metadata. Non-scripting browsers would continue to work (with no queries and fragments).
(This in turn solves a number of semi-broken links to the source code, which are actually linked to redirect pages.)
Added the example from [this Reddit thread][1], reworked to be more robust with correct logic (first link skipped the 0th and 1st Fibonacci numbers, second forgot about the last two valid values before overflow). Will yield all Fibonacci numbers sequentially in the range `[0, <u32 as Int>::max_value())`.
If the example is too complicated I can change it to a more naive version, perhaps using signed integers to check for overflow instead of `Option` and `.checked_add()`.
Also reworded the doc comments to clarify the usage and behavior of `Unfold`, as the thread suggested that it wasn't really clear how `Unfold` worked and when one should use it.
This change is in the `core` crate but I based the example on `std` since that's where most readers will find the example. I included a note about `core` for clarity. Edit: removed.
Tested with `rustdoc src/libcore/lib.rs`. Rebased against latest master as of the creation of this PR.

This series of commits deals with broken links to the source code. It also refactors some repetitive codes from Rustdoc. The most important commit, 1cb1f00d40, describes the rationale; this will fix a half of #16289. Other commits are reasonably independent to each other and can be made into indiviudal PRs at the request.
### Notes on the broken source links
As of bda97e8557 (I've used this to check the PR works as intended), there are 281 (!) such broken links. They can be further classified as follows:
* 178 links to incorrect item types. This is the first half of #16289, and this PR fixes all of them.
* 89 links to redirect pages. They are not technically "broken" but still doesn't give a source code. I have a fix for this in mind, which would make a redirect page slightly *fat*.
* 14 links to incorrect `DefId` in the `gotosrc` parameter. This is #15309, and affects many `liballoc` reexports in `libstd` but *nothing else* (curiously). I'm yet to track this down; might be a metadata bug (not sure).
* 0 links to the crate reexported as a different name. This is the second half of #16289, and seems not hard to fix but I'm running out of time.
Prevalence of this kind of bugs calls for a full link verifier integrated into the testing process. :S
As an example of what this changes, the following code:
```rust
let x: [int ..4];
```
Currently spits out ‘expected `]`, found `..`’. However, a comma would also be valid there, as would a number of other tokens. This change adjusts the parser to produce more accurate errors, so that that example now produces ‘expected one of `(`, `+`, `,`, `::`, or `]`, found `..`’.
(Thanks to cramer on IRC for pointing out this problem with diagnostics.)
deriving encodable + using json::PrettyEncoder removes the only ToJson trait implementation in the rust repository outside of libserialize
@pcwalton does this agree with your FIXME comment?
1. Made small improvements to the docs for checked_sub, checked_mul and checked_div.
2. Updated a confusingly outdated comment for intrinsics, noticed before at <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23582931/>.
Using `and` here instead of `but` sounds better to me, as but makes it sound like an item which is still under active development shouldn't normally require more testing, but this one does - or something like that :-)
@steveklabnik?
After the library successfully called `fork(2)`, the child does several
setup works such as setting UID, GID and current directory before it
calls `exec(2)`. When those setup works failed, the child exits but the
parent didn't call `waitpid(2)` and left it as a zombie.
This patch also add several sanity checks. They shouldn't make any
noticeable impact to runtime performance.
The new test case in `libstd/io/process.rs` calls the ps command to check
if the new code can really reap a zombie.
The output of `ps -A -o pid,sid,command` should look like this:
```
PID SID COMMAND
1 1 /sbin/init
2 0 [kthreadd]
3 0 [ksoftirqd/0]
...
12562 9237 ./spawn-failure
12563 9237 [spawn-failure] <defunct>
12564 9237 [spawn-failure] <defunct>
...
12592 9237 [spawn-failure] <defunct>
12593 9237 ps -A -o pid,sid,command
12884 12884 /bin/zsh
12922 12922 /bin/zsh
...
```
where `./spawn-failure` is my test program which intentionally leaves many
zombies. Filtering the output with the "SID" (session ID) column is
a quick way to tell if a process (zombie) was spawned by my own test
program. Then the number of "defunct" lines is the number of zombie
children.
io::stdin returns a new `BufferedReader` each time it's called, which
results in some very confusing behavior with disappearing output. It now
returns a `StdinReader`, which wraps a global singleton
`Arc<Mutex<BufferedReader<StdReader>>`. `Reader` is implemented directly
on `StdinReader`. However, `Buffer` is not, as the `fill_buf` method is
fundamentaly un-thread safe. A `lock` method is defined on `StdinReader`
which returns a smart pointer wrapping the underlying `BufferedReader`
while guaranteeing mutual exclusion.
Code that treats the return value of io::stdin as implementing `Buffer`
will break. Add a call to `lock`:
```rust
io::stdin().read_line();
// =>
io::stdin().lock().read_line();
```
Closes#14434

The only other place I know of that doesn’t allow trailing commas is closure types (#19414), and those are a bit tricky to fix (I suspect it might be impossible without infinite lookahead) so I didn’t implement that in this patch. There are other issues surrounding closure type parsing anyway, in particular #19410.
This commit is a reimplementation of `std::sync` to be based on the
system-provided primitives wherever possible. The previous implementation was
fundamentally built on top of channels, and as part of the runtime reform it has
become clear that this is not the level of abstraction that the standard level
should be providing. This rewrite aims to provide as thin of a shim as possible
on top of the system primitives in order to make them safe.
The overall interface of the `std::sync` module has in general not changed, but
there are a few important distinctions, highlighted below:
* The condition variable type, `Condvar`, has been separated out of a `Mutex`.
A condition variable is now an entirely separate type. This separation
benefits users who only use one mutex, and provides a clearer distinction of
who's responsible for managing condition variables (the application).
* All of `Condvar`, `Mutex`, and `RWLock` are now directly built on top of
system primitives rather than using a custom implementation. The `Once`,
`Barrier`, and `Semaphore` types are still built upon these abstractions of
the system primitives.
* The `Condvar`, `Mutex`, and `RWLock` types all have a new static type and
constant initializer corresponding to them. These are provided primarily for C
FFI interoperation, but are often useful to otherwise simply have a global
lock. The types, however, will leak memory unless `destroy()` is called on
them, which is clearly documented.
* The fundamental architecture of this design is to provide two separate layers.
The first layer is that exposed by `sys_common` which is a cross-platform
bare-metal abstraction of the system synchronization primitives. No attempt is
made at making this layer safe, and it is quite unsafe to use! It is currently
not exported as part of the API of the standard library, but the stabilization
of the `sys` module will ensure that these will be exposed in time. The
purpose of this layer is to provide the core cross-platform abstractions if
necessary to implementors.
The second layer is the layer provided by `std::sync` which is intended to be
the thinnest possible layer on top of `sys_common` which is entirely safe to
use. There are a few concerns which need to be addressed when making these
system primitives safe:
* Once used, the OS primitives can never be **moved**. This means that they
essentially need to have a stable address. The static primitives use
`&'static self` to enforce this, and the non-static primitives all use a
`Box` to provide this guarantee.
* Poisoning is leveraged to ensure that invalid data is not accessible from
other tasks after one has panicked.
In addition to these overall blanket safety limitations, each primitive has a
few restrictions of its own:
* Mutexes and rwlocks can only be unlocked from the same thread that they
were locked by. This is achieved through RAII lock guards which cannot be
sent across threads.
* Mutexes and rwlocks can only be unlocked if they were previously locked.
This is achieved by not exposing an unlocking method.
* A condition variable can only be waited on with a locked mutex. This is
achieved by requiring a `MutexGuard` in the `wait()` method.
* A condition variable cannot be used concurrently with more than one mutex.
This is guaranteed by dynamically binding a condition variable to
precisely one mutex for its entire lifecycle. This restriction may be able
to be relaxed in the future (a mutex is unbound when no threads are
waiting on the condvar), but for now it is sufficient to guarantee safety.
* Condvars support timeouts for their blocking operations. The
implementation for these operations is provided by the system.
Due to the modification of the `Condvar` API, removal of the `std::sync::mutex`
API, and reimplementation, this is a breaking change. Most code should be fairly
easy to port using the examples in the documentation of these primitives.
