This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

This patch
1. renames libunicode to librustc_unicode,
2. deprecates several pieces of libunicode (see below), and
3. removes references to deprecated functions from
librustc_driver and libsyntax. This may change pretty-printed
output from these modules in cases involving wide or combining
characters used in filenames, identifiers, etc.
The following functions are marked deprecated:
1. char.width() and str.width():
--> use unicode-width crate
2. str.graphemes() and str.grapheme_indices():
--> use unicode-segmentation crate
3. str.nfd_chars(), str.nfkd_chars(), str.nfc_chars(), str.nfkc_chars(),
char.compose(), char.decompose_canonical(), char.decompose_compatible(),
char.canonical_combining_class():
--> use unicode-normalization crate
* Marks `#[stable]` the contents of the `std::convert` module.
* Added methods `PathBuf::as_path`, `OsString::as_os_str`,
`String::as_str`, `Vec::{as_slice, as_mut_slice}`.
* Deprecates `OsStr::from_str` in favor of a new, stable, and more
general `OsStr::new`.
* Adds unstable methods `OsString::from_bytes` and `OsStr::{to_bytes,
to_cstring}` for ergonomic FFI usage.

The collections debug helpers no longer prefix output with the
collection name, in line with the current conventions for Debug
implementations. Implementations that want to preserve the current
behavior can simply add a `try!(write!(fmt, "TypeName "));` at the
beginning of the `fmt` method.

Previously a panic was generated for recursive prints due to a double-borrow of
a `RefCell`. This was solved by the second borrow's output being directed
towards the global stdout instead of the per-thread stdout (still experimental
functionality).
After this functionality was altered, however, recursive prints still deadlocked
due to the overridden `write_fmt` method which locked itself first and then
wrote all the data. This was fixed by removing the override of the `write_fmt`
method. This means that unlocked usage of `write!` on a `Stdout`/`Stderr` may be
slower due to acquiring more locks, but it's easy to make more performant with a
call to `.lock()`.

Found a few 404s that seemed like simple fixes:
In footer.inc, certain 404 pages were 404ing on the request to jquery.js and playpen.js. This is easily demonstrated by visiting http://doc.rust-lang.org/foo then http://doc.rust-lang.org/foo/bar. The latter 404s, looking for foo/jquery.js.
The Result docs use old_io Writer as an example. Fix the link to old_io Writer. There's probably an effort to update the example away from a deprecated api but this was a simple fix.
rustc/plugin was pointing at the old guide and it was a broken link anyways (plugin vs plugins). Point at the book instead.
The main page of the API docs referenced c_{str,vec}. Looks like these were deleted in 25d5a3a194. Point at ffi docs instead.

This commit removes compiler support for the `old_impl_check` attribute which
should in theory be entirely removed now. The last remaining use of it in the
standard library has been updated by moving the type parameter on the
`old_io::Acceptor` trait into an associated type. As a result, this is a
breaking change for all current users of the deprecated `old_io::Acceptor`
trait. Code can be migrated by using the `Connection` associated type instead.

This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.
[breaking change]
* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Previously, impls for `[T; n]` were collected in the same place as impls for `[T]` and `&[T]`. This splits them out into their own primitive page in both core and std.

This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.

This commit clarifies some of the unstable features in the `str` module by
moving them out of the blanket `core` and `collections` features.
The following methods were moved to the `str_char` feature which generally
encompasses decoding specific characters from a `str` and dealing with the
result. It is unclear if any of these methods need to be stabilized for 1.0 and
the most conservative route for now is to continue providing them but to leave
them as unstable under a more specific name.
* `is_char_boundary`
* `char_at`
* `char_range_at`
* `char_at_reverse`
* `char_range_at_reverse`
* `slice_shift_char`
The following methods were moved into the generic `unicode` feature as they are
specifically enabled by the `unicode` crate itself.
* `nfd_chars`
* `nfkd_chars`
* `nfc_chars`
* `graphemes`
* `grapheme_indices`
* `width`
Specifically, the following actions were taken:
* The `copy_memory` and `copy_nonoverlapping_memory` functions
to drop the `_memory` suffix (as it's implied by the functionality). Both
functions are now marked as `#[stable]`.
* The `set_memory` function was renamed to `write_bytes` and is now stable.
* The `zero_memory` function is now deprecated in favor of `write_bytes`
directly.
* The `Unique` pointer type is now behind its own feature gate called `unique`
to facilitate future stabilization.
* All type parameters now are `T: ?Sized` wherever possible and new clauses were
added to the `offset` functions to require that the type is sized.
[breaking-change]
This commit stabilizes `std::borrow`, making the following modifications
to catch up the API with language changes:
* It renames `BorrowFrom` to `Borrow`, as was originally intended (but
blocked for technical reasons), and reorders the parameters
accordingly.
* It moves the type parameter of `ToOwned` to an associated type. This
is somewhat less flexible, in that each borrowed type must have a
unique owned type, but leads to a significant simplification for
`Cow`. Flexibility can be regained by using newtyped slices, which is
advisable for other reasons anyway.
* It removes the owned type parameter from `Cow`, making the type much
less verbose.
* Deprecates the `is_owned` and `is_borrowed` predicates in favor of
direct matching.
The above API changes are relatively minor; the basic functionality
remains the same, and essentially the whole module is now marked
`#[stable]`.

Per [RFC 579](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/579), this commit
adds a new `std::process` module. This module is largely based on the
existing `std::old_io::process` module, but refactors the API to use
`OsStr` and other new standards set out by IO reform.
The existing module is not yet deprecated, to allow for the new API to
get a bit of testing before a mass migration to it.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 807][rfc] which adds a `std::net`
module for basic neworking based on top of `std::io`. This module serves as a
replacement for the `std::old_io::net` module and networking primitives in
`old_io`.
[rfc]: fillmein
The major focus of this redesign is to cut back on the level of abstraction to
the point that each of the networking types is just a bare socket. To this end
functionality such as timeouts and cloning has been removed (although cloning
can be done through `duplicate`, it may just yield an error).
With this `net` module comes a new implementation of `SocketAddr` and `IpAddr`.
This work is entirely based on #20785 and the only changes were to alter the
in-memory representation to match the `libc`-expected variants and to move from
public fields to accessors.

There are a number of holes that the stability lint did not previously cover,
including:
* Types
* Bounds on type parameters on functions and impls
* Where clauses
* Imports
* Patterns (structs and enums)
These holes have all been fixed by overriding the `visit_path` function on the
AST visitor instead of a few specialized cases. This change also necessitated a
few stability changes:
* The `collections::fmt` module is now stable (it was already supposed to be).
* The `thread_local:👿:Key` type is now stable (it was already supposed to
be).
* The `std::rt::{begin_unwind, begin_unwind_fmt}` functions are now stable.
These are required via the `panic!` macro.
* The `std::old_io::stdio::{println, println_args}` functions are now stable.
These are required by the `print!` and `println!` macros.
* The `ops::{FnOnce, FnMut, Fn}` traits are now `#[stable]`. This is required to
make bounds with these traits stable. Note that manual implementations of
these traits are still gated by default, this stability only allows bounds
such as `F: FnOnce()`.
Additionally, the compiler now has special logic to ignore its own generated
`__test` module for the `--test` harness in terms of stability.

A good bit of functionality was copied over from `std::old_io`, but many tweaks
were required for the new method signatures. Behavior such as precisely when
buffered objects call to the underlying object may have been tweaked slightly in
the transition. All implementations were audited to use composition wherever
possible. For example the custom `pos` and `cap` cursors in `BufReader` were
removed in favor of just using `Cursor<Vec<u8>>`.
A few liberties were taken during this implementation which were not explicitly
spelled out in the RFC:
* The old `LineBufferedWriter` is now named `LineWriter`
* The internal representation of `Error` now favors OS error codes (a
0-allocation path) and contains a `Box` for extra semantic data.
* The io prelude currently reexports `Seek` as `NewSeek` to prevent conflicts
with the real prelude reexport of `old_io::Seek`
* The `chars` method was moved from `BufReadExt` to `ReadExt`.
* The `chars` iterator returns a custom error with a variant that explains that
the data was not valid UTF-8.
Use the crates.io crate `rand` (version 0.1 should be a drop in
replacement for `std::rand`) and `rand_macros` (`#[derive_Rand]` should
be a drop-in replacement).

As part of [RFC 474](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/474), this

simple as adjusting imports, and the prelude still maps to the old path
APIs for now.

This is an implementation of [RFC 578][rfc] which adds a new `std::env` module
to replace most of the functionality in the current `std::os` module. More
details can be found in the RFC itself, but as a summary the following methods
have all been deprecated:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/578
* `os::args_as_bytes` => `env::args`
* `os::args` => `env::args`
* `os::consts` => `env::consts`
* `os::dll_filename` => no replacement, use `env::consts` directly
* `os::page_size` => `env::page_size`
* `os::make_absolute` => use `env::current_dir` + `join` instead
* `os::getcwd` => `env::current_dir`
* `os::change_dir` => `env::set_current_dir`
* `os::homedir` => `env::home_dir`
* `os::tmpdir` => `env::temp_dir`
* `os::join_paths` => `env::join_paths`
* `os::split_paths` => `env::split_paths`

* `os::set_exit_status` => `env::set_exit_status`
* `os::get_exit_status` => `env::get_exit_status`
* `os::env` => `env::vars`
* `os::env_as_bytes` => `env::vars`
* `os::getenv` => `env::var` or `env::var_string`
* `os::getenv_as_bytes` => `env::var`
* `os::setenv` => `env::set_var`
* `os::unsetenv` => `env::remove_var`
Many function signatures have also been tweaked for various purposes, but the
main changes were:
* `Vec`-returning APIs now all return iterators instead
* All APIs are now centered around `OsString` instead of `Vec<u8>` or `String`.
There is currently on convenience API, `env::var_string`, which can be used to
get the value of an environment variable as a unicode `String`.
All old APIs are `#[deprecated]` in-place and will remain for some time to allow
for migrations. The semantics of the APIs have been tweaked slightly with regard
to dealing with invalid unicode (panic instead of replacement).
The new `std::env` module is all contained within the `env` feature, so crates
must add the following to access the new APIs:

In preparation for the I/O rejuvination of the standard library, this commit
renames the current `io` module to `old_io` in order to make room for the new
I/O modules. It is expected that the I/O RFCs will land incrementally over time
instead of all at once, and this provides a fresh clean path for new modules to
enter into as well as guaranteeing that all old infrastructure will remain in
place for some time.
As each `old_io` module is replaced it will be deprecated in-place for new
structures in `std::{io, fs, net}` (as appropriate).
This commit does *not* leave a reexport of `old_io as io` as the deprecation
lint does not currently warn on this form of use. This is quite a large breaking
change for all imports in existing code, but all functionality is retained
precisely as-is and path statements simply need to be renamed from `io` to
`old_io`.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 565][rfc] which is a stabilization of
the `std::fmt` module and the implementations of various formatting traits.
Specifically, the following changes were performed:
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0565-show-string-guidelines.md
* The `Show` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Debug`
* The `String` trait is now deprecated, it was renamed to `Display`
* Many `Debug` and `Display` implementations were audited in accordance with the
RFC and audited implementations now have the `#[stable]` attribute
* Integers and floats no longer print a suffix
* Smart pointers no longer print details that they are a smart pointer
* Paths with `Debug` are now quoted and escape characters
* The `unwrap` methods on `Result` now require `Display` instead of `Debug`
* The `Error` trait no longer has a `detail` method and now requires that
`Display` must be implemented. With the loss of `String`, this has moved into
libcore.
* `impl<E: Error> FromError<E> for Box<Error>` now exists
* `derive(Show)` has been renamed to `derive(Debug)`. This is not currently
warned about due to warnings being emitted on stage1+
While backwards compatibility is attempted to be maintained with a blanket
implementation of `Display` for the old `String` trait (and the same for
`Show`/`Debug`) this is still a breaking change due to primitives no longer
implementing `String` as well as modifications such as `unwrap` and the `Error`
trait. Most code is fairly straightforward to update with a rename or tweaks of
method calls.

This partially implements the feature staging described in the
[release channel RFC][rc]. It does not yet fully conform to the RFC as
written, but does accomplish its goals sufficiently for the 1.0 alpha
release.
It has three primary user-visible effects:
* On the nightly channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of unstable APIs generates a warning.
* On the beta channel, use of feature gates generates a warning.
Code that does not trigger these warnings is considered 'stable',
modulo pre-1.0 bugs.
Disabling the warnings for unstable APIs continues to be done in the
existing (i.e. old) style, via `#[allow(...)]`, not that specified in
the RFC. I deem this marginally acceptable since any code that must do
this is not using the stable dialect of Rust.
Use of feature gates is itself gated with the new 'unstable_features'
lint, on nightly set to 'allow', and on beta 'warn'.
The attribute scheme used here corresponds to an older version of the
RFC, with the `#[staged_api]` crate attribute toggling the staging
behavior of the stability attributes, but the user impact is only
in-tree so I'm not concerned about having to make design changes later
(and I may ultimately prefer the scheme here after all, with the
`#[staged_api]` crate attribute).
Since the Rust codebase itself makes use of unstable features the
compiler and build system do a midly elaborate dance to allow it to
bootstrap while disobeying these lints (which would otherwise be
errors because Rust builds with `-D warnings`).
This patch includes one significant hack that causes a
regression. Because the `format_args!` macro emits calls to unstable
APIs it would trigger the lint. I added a hack to the lint to make it
not trigger, but this in turn causes arguments to `println!` not to be
checked for feature gates. I don't presently understand macro
expansion well enough to fix. This is bug #20661.

Next steps are to disable the existing out-of-tree behavior for stability attributes, and convert the remaining system to be feature-based per the RFC. During the first beta cycle we will set these lints to 'forbid'.
To avoid using the feauture, change uses of `box <expr>` to
`Box::new(<expr>)` alternative, as noted by the feature gate message.
(Note that box patterns have no analogous trivial replacement, at
least not in general; you need to revise the code to do a partial
match, deref, and then the rest of the match.)

redesign is to separate the concepts of a hasher's state from a hashing
algorithm itself.
The primary change of this commit is to separate the `Hasher` trait into a
`Hasher` and a `HashState` trait. Conceptually the old `Hasher` trait was
actually just a factory for various states, but hashing had very little control
over how these states were used. Additionally the old `Hasher` trait was
actually fairly unrelated to hashing.
This commit redesigns the existing `Hasher` trait to match what the notion of a
`Hasher` normally implies with the following definition:
trait Hasher {
type Output;
fn reset(&mut self);
fn finish(&self) -> Output;
}
This `Hasher` trait emphasizes that hashing algorithms may produce outputs other
than a `u64`, so the output type is made generic. Other than that, however, very
little is assumed about a particular hasher. It is left up to implementors to
provide specific methods or trait implementations to feed data into a hasher.
The corresponding `Hash` trait becomes:
trait Hash<H: Hasher> {
fn hash(&self, &mut H);
}
The old default of `SipState` was removed from this trait as it's not something
that we're willing to stabilize until the end of time, but the type parameter is
always required to implement `Hasher`. Note that the type parameter `H` remains
on the trait to enable multidispatch for specialization of hashing for
particular hashers.
Note that `Writer` is not mentioned in either of `Hash` or `Hasher`, it is
simply used as part `derive` and the implementations for all primitive types.
With these definitions, the old `Hasher` trait is realized as a new `HashState`
trait in the `collections::hash_state` module as an unstable addition for
now. The current definition looks like:
trait HashState {
type Hasher: Hasher;
fn hasher(&self) -> Hasher;
}
The purpose of this trait is to emphasize that the one piece of functionality
for implementors is that new instances of `Hasher` can be created. This
conceptually represents the two keys from which more instances of a
`SipHasher` can be created, and a `HashState` is what's stored in a
`HashMap`, not a `Hasher`.
Implementors of custom hash algorithms should implement the `Hasher` trait, and
only hash algorithms intended for use in hash maps need to implement or worry
about the `HashState` trait.
The entire module and `HashState` infrastructure remains `#[unstable]` due to it
being recently redesigned, but some other stability decision made for the
`std::hash` module are:
* The `Writer` trait remains `#[experimental]` as it's intended to be replaced
with an `io::Writer` (more details soon).
* The top-level `hash` function is `#[unstable]` as it is intended to be generic
over the hashing algorithm instead of hardwired to `SipHasher`
* The inner `sip` module is now private as its one export, `SipHasher` is
reexported in the `hash` module.
And finally, a few changes were made to the default parameters on `HashMap`.
* The `RandomSipHasher` default type parameter was renamed to `RandomState`.
This renaming emphasizes that it is not a hasher, but rather just state to
generate hashers. It also moves away from the name "sip" as it may not always
be implemented as `SipHasher`. This type lives in the
`std::collections::hash_map` module as `#[unstable]`
* The associated `Hasher` type of `RandomState` is creatively called...
`Hasher`! This concrete structure lives next to `RandomState` as an
implemenation of the "default hashing algorithm" used for a `HashMap`. Under
the hood this is currently implemented as `SipHasher`, but it draws an
explicit interface for now and allows us to modify the implementation over
time if necessary.
There are many breaking changes outlined above, and as a result this commit is
a:
[breaking-change]
This PR introduces `isize` and `usize` modules to `core` and `std`, and
deprecates the existing `int` and `uint` modules. The rustdoc primitive
type links now point to these new modules.
Due to deprecation this is a:
[breaking-change]
Many of libstd's macros are now re-exported from libcore and libcollections.
Their libstd definitions have moved to a macros_stage0 module and can disappear
after the next snapshot.
Where the two crates had already diverged, I took the libstd versions as
they're generally newer and better-tested. See e.g. d3c831b, which was a fix to
libstd's assert_eq!() that didn't make it into libcore's.
Fixes#16806.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 494][rfc] which removes the entire
`std::c_vec` module and redesigns the `std::c_str` module as `std::ffi`.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0494-c_str-and-c_vec-stability.md
The interface of the new `CString` is outlined in the linked RFC, the primary
changes being:
* The `ToCStr` trait is gone, meaning the `with_c_str` and `to_c_str` methods
are now gone. These two methods are replaced with a `CString::from_slice`
method.
* The `CString` type is now just a wrapper around `Vec<u8>` with a static
guarantee that there is a trailing nul byte with no internal nul bytes. This
means that `CString` now implements `Deref<Target = [c_char]>`, which is where
it gains most of its methods from. A few helper methods are added to acquire a
slice of `u8` instead of `c_char`, as well as including a slice with the
trailing nul byte if necessary.
* All usage of non-owned `CString` values is now done via two functions inside
of `std::ffi`, called `c_str_to_bytes` and `c_str_to_bytes_with_nul`. These
functions are now the one method used to convert a `*const c_char` to a Rust
slice of `u8`.
Many more details, including newly deprecated methods, can be found linked in
the RFC. This is a:

Closes#20444
This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization
story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports.
Some reexports are kept around, however:
* `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn.
* `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to
prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed.
* All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all
at once to `std::io::prelude::*`.
This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and
the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to
find the locations of where to import them.

Closes#20068
This is a [breaking-change]. The new rules require that, for an impl of a trait defined
in some other crate, two conditions must hold:
1. Some type must be local.
2. Every type parameter must appear "under" some local type.
Here are some examples that are legal:
```rust
struct MyStruct<T> { ... }
// Here `T` appears "under' `MyStruct`.
impl<T> Clone for MyStruct<T> { }
// Here `T` appears "under' `MyStruct` as well. Note that it also appears
// elsewhere.
impl<T> Iterator<T> for MyStruct<T> { }
```
Here is an illegal example:
```rust
// Here `U` does not appear "under" `MyStruct` or any other local type.
// We call `U` "uncovered".
impl<T,U> Iterator<U> for MyStruct<T> { }
```
There are a couple of ways to rewrite this last example so that it is
legal:
1. In some cases, the uncovered type parameter (here, `U`) should be converted
into an associated type. This is however a non-local change that requires access
to the original trait. Also, associated types are not fully baked.
2. Add `U` as a type parameter of `MyStruct`:
```rust
struct MyStruct<T,U> { ... }
impl<T,U> Iterator<U> for MyStruct<T,U> { }
```
3. Create a newtype wrapper for `U`
```rust
impl<T,U> Iterator<Wrapper<U>> for MyStruct<T,U> { }
```
Because associated types are not fully baked, which in the case of the
`Hash` trait makes adhering to this rule impossible, you can
temporarily disable this rule in your crate by using
`#![feature(old_orphan_check)]`. Note that the `old_orphan_check`
feature will be removed before 1.0 is released.
The new semantics of this function are that the callbacks are run when the *main
thread* exits, not when all threads have exited. This implies that other threads
may still be running when the `at_exit` callbacks are invoked and users need to
be prepared for this situation.
Users in the standard library have been audited in accordance to these new rules
as well.
Closes#20012
This commit takes a second pass through the `vec` module to
stabilize its API. The changes are as follows:
**Stable**:
* `dedup`
* `from_raw_parts`
* `insert`
* `into_iter`
* `is_empty`
* `remove`
* `reserve_exact`
* `reserve`
* `retain`
* `swap_remove`
* `truncate`
**Deprecated**:
* `from_fn`, `from_elem`, `grow_fn` and `grow`, all deprecated in
favor of iterators. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/509
* `partition`, `partitioned`, deprecated in favor of a new, more
general iterator consumer called `partition`.
* `unzip`, deprecated in favor of a new, more general iterator
consumer called `unzip`.
A few remaining methods are left at experimental status.
[breaking-change]
This commit is a second pass stabilization for the `std::comm` module,
performing the following actions:
* The entire `std::comm` module was moved under `std::sync::mpsc`. This movement
reflects that channels are just yet another synchronization primitive, and
they don't necessarily deserve a special place outside of the other
concurrency primitives that the standard library offers.
* The `send` and `recv` methods have all been removed.
* The `send_opt` and `recv_opt` methods have been renamed to `send` and `recv`.
This means that all send/receive operations return a `Result` now indicating
whether the operation was successful or not.
* The error type of `send` is now a `SendError` to implement a custom error
message and allow for `unwrap()`. The error type contains an `into_inner`
method to extract the value.
* The error type of `recv` is now `RecvError` for the same reasons as `send`.
* The `TryRecvError` and `TrySendError` types have had public reexports removed
of their variants and the variant names have been tweaked with enum
namespacing rules.
* The `Messages` iterator is renamed to `Iter`
This functionality is now all `#[stable]`:
* `Sender`
* `SyncSender`
* `Receiver`
* `std::sync::mpsc`
* `channel`
* `sync_channel`
* `Iter`
* `Sender::send`
* `Sender::clone`
* `SyncSender::send`
* `SyncSender::try_send`
* `SyncSender::clone`
* `Receiver::recv`
* `Receiver::try_recv`
* `Receiver::iter`
* `SendError`
* `RecvError`
* `TrySendError::{mod, Full, Disconnected}`
* `TryRecvError::{mod, Empty, Disconnected}`
* `SendError::into_inner`
* `TrySendError::into_inner`
This is a breaking change due to the modification of where this module is
located, as well as the changing of the semantics of `send` and `recv`. Most
programs just need to rename imports of `std::comm` to `std::sync::mpsc` and
add calls to `unwrap` after a send or a receive operation.
