This allows for easier static initialization of a pthread mutex, although the
windows mutexes still sadly suffer.
Note that this commit removes the clone() method from a mutex because it no
longer makes sense for pthreads mutexes. This also removes the Once type for
now, but it'll get added back shortly.
With the recently added double word CAS functionality on 32-bit ARM (enabled via
a 64-bit atomic instruction in LLVM IR), without some extra features enabled
LLVM lowers code to function calls which emulate atomic instructions. With the
v7 feature enabled, proper 64-bit CAS instructions are used on 32-bit arm.
I've been told that v7 for arm is what we should have been doing anyway. This is
overridable by providing some other non-empty feature string.
Turns out this was a little more far-reaching than I thought it was.
The first commit is the crux of this stack of commits. The `io::io_error` condition is completely removed and the `read` and `write` methods are altered to return `IoResult<T>`. This turned out to be an incredibly far-reaching change!
Overall, I'm very happy with how this turned out (in addition with the `unused_must_use` lint). I had to almost rewrite the pretty printer in `libsyntax` as well as the the formatting in `librustdoc` (as one would expect). These two modules do *tons* of I/O, and I believe that it's definitely improved.
This pull request also introduces the `if_ok!()` macro for returning-early from something that returns a result. I made quite liberal use of this in mostly the pretty printer and html renderer, and I found its usage generally quite pleasant and convenient to have. I didn't really feel like adding any other macro while I was using it, and I figured that pretty printing could be nicer, but it's nowhere near horrid today.
This may be a controversial issue closing, but I'm going to say it.
Closes#6163
* All I/O now returns IoResult<T> = Result<T, IoError>
* All formatting traits now return fmt::Result = IoResult<()>
* The if_ok!() macro was added to libstd
Make the definition of epoll_event use natural alignment on all
architectures except x86_64.
Before this commit, the struct was always 12 bytes big, which works okay
on x86 and x86_64 but not on ARM and MIPS, where it should be 16 bytes
big with the `data` field aligned on an 8 byte boundary.
I moved all documentation sources (guides, manuals, etc) to `src/doc` to free up `doc` as a build directory for all generated files.
At the same time, I also removed our usage of `VPATH` from the makefiles because it was wreaking havoc with doc deps and it's not very necessary now that we're primarily a rust project rather than having a good portion of C++/C inside of it.

This Pull Request aims to add backticks to all instances of code inside comments in snippets present in tutorial.md. It also includes backticks for filenames in the same conditions. See #11796 for motivation.
- renames `Default` to `Show`
- introduces some hidden `std::fmt::secret_...` functions, designed to work-around the lack of UFCS (with UFCS they can be replaced by referencing the trait methods directly) because I'm going to convert the traits to have methods rather than static functions, since `#[deriving]` works much better with true methods.
I'm blocked on a snapshot after this. (I could probably do a large number of `#[cfg]`s, but I can work on other things in the meantime.)
