The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.

This adds impls of Eq/Ord/PartialEq/PartialOrd/Show/Default to Arc<T>, and it
also removes the `Send + Sync` bound on the `Clone` impl of Arc to make it more
deriving-friendly. The `Send + Sync` requirement is still enforce on
construction, of course!
compiletest: compact "linux" "macos" etc.as "unix".
liballoc: remove a superfluous "use".
libcollections: remove invocations of deprecated methods in favor of
their suggested replacements and use "_" for a loop counter.
libcoretest: remove invocations of deprecated methods; also add
"allow(deprecated)" for testing a deprecated method itself.
libglob: use "cfg_attr".
libgraphviz: add a test for one of data constructors.
libgreen: remove a superfluous "use".
libnum: "allow(type_overflow)" for type cast into u8 in a test code.
librustc: names of static variables should be in upper case.
libserialize: v[i] instead of get().
libstd/ascii: to_lowercase() instead of to_lower().
libstd/bitflags: modify AnotherSetOfFlags to use i8 as its backend.
It will serve better for testing various aspects of bitflags!.
libstd/collections: "allow(deprecated)" for testing a deprecated
method itself.
libstd/io: remove invocations of deprecated methods and superfluous "use".
Also add #[test] where it was missing.
libstd/num: introduce a helper function to effectively remove
invocations of a deprecated method.
libstd/path and rand: remove invocations of deprecated methods and
superfluous "use".
libstd/task and libsync/comm: "allow(deprecated)" for testing
a deprecated method itself.
libsync/deque: remove superfluous "unsafe".
libsync/mutex and once: names of static variables should be in upper case.
libterm: introduce a helper function to effectively remove
invocations of a deprecated method.
We still see a few warnings about using obsoleted native::task::spawn()
in the test modules for libsync. I'm not sure how I should replace them
with std::task::TaksBuilder and native::task::NativeTaskBuilder
(dependency to libstd?)

This leaves the `Share` trait at `std::kinds` via a `#[deprecated]` `pub use`
statement, but the `NoShare` struct is no longer part of `std::kinds::marker`
due to #12660 (the build cannot bootstrap otherwise).
All code referencing the `Share` trait should now reference the `Sync` trait,
and all code referencing the `NoShare` type should now reference the `NoSync`
type. The functionality and meaning of this trait have not changed, only the
naming.
Closes#16281

This commit stabilizes the `std::sync::atomics` module, renaming it to
`std::sync::atomic` to match library precedent elsewhere, and tightening
up behavior around incorrect memory ordering annotations.
The vast majority of the module is now `stable`. However, the
`AtomicOption` type has been deprecated, since it is essentially unused
and is not truly a primitive atomic type. It will eventually be replaced
by a higher-level abstraction like MVars.
Due to deprecations, this is a:
[breaking-change]
This commit applies stability attributes to the contents of these modules,
summarized here:
* The `unit` and `bool` modules have become #[unstable] as they are purely meant
for documentation purposes and are candidates for removal.
* The `ty` module has been deprecated, and the inner `Unsafe` type has been
renamed to `UnsafeCell` and moved to the `cell` module. The `marker1` field
has been removed as the compiler now always infers `UnsafeCell` to be
invariant. The `new` method i stable, but the `value` field, `get` and
`unwrap` methods are all unstable.
* The `tuple` module has its name as stable, the naming of the `TupleN` traits
as stable while the methods are all #[unstable]. The other impls in the module
have appropriate stability for the corresponding trait.
* The `arc` module has received the exact same treatment as the `rc` module
previously did.
* The `any` module has its name as stable. The `Any` trait is also stable, with
a new private supertrait which now contains the `get_type_id` method. This is
to make the method a private implementation detail rather than a public-facing
detail.
The two extension traits in the module are marked #[unstable] as they will not
be necessary with DST. The `is` method is #[stable], the as_{mut,ref} methods
have been renamed to downcast_{mut,ref} and are #[unstable].
The extension trait `BoxAny` has been clarified as to why it is unstable as it
will not be necessary with DST.
This is a breaking change because the `marker1` field was removed from the
`UnsafeCell` type. To deal with this change, you can simply delete the field and
only specify the value of the `data` field in static initializers.

Implement for Vec, DList, RingBuf. Add MutableSeq to the prelude.
Since the collections traits are in the prelude most consumers of
these methods will continue to work without change.

floating point numbers for real.
This will break code that looks like:
let mut x = 0;
while ... {
x += 1;
}
println!("{}", x);
Change that code to:
let mut x = 0i;
while ... {
x += 1;
}
println!("{}", x);

The following are tagged 'experimental'
- Clone::clone_from - may not provide enough utility
- impls for various extern "Rust" fns - may not handle lifetimes correctly

This breaks a fair amount of code. The typical patterns are:
* `for _ in range(0, 10)`: change to `for _ in range(0u, 10)`;
* `println!("{}", 3)`: change to `println!("{}", 3i)`;
* `[1, 2, 3].len()`: change to `[1i, 2, 3].len()`.

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.

This patch makes `Arc::make_unique` examine the number of weak
references as well as strong references, which is required for safety.
It also adds a `make_unique` method to the `Rc` type for consistency.
Closes#14521.
Types that implement Deref can cause weird error messages due to their
private fields conflicting with a field of the type they deref to, e.g.,
previously
struct Foo { x: int }
let a: Arc<Foo> = ...;
println!("{}", a.x);
would complain the the `x` field of `Arc` was private (since Arc has a
private field called `x`) rather than just ignoring it.
This patch doesn't fix that issue, but does mean one would have to write
`a._ptr` to hit the same error message, which seems far less
common. (This patch `_`-prefixes all private fields of
`Deref`-implementing types.)
cc #12808
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.
