for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

This commit shreds all remnants of libextra from the compiler and standard
distribution. Two modules, c_vec/tempfile, were moved into libstd after some
cleanup, and the other modules were moved to separate crates as seen fit.

Most IO related functions return an IoResult so that the caller can handle failure
in whatever way is appropriate. However, the `lines`, `bytes`, and `chars` iterators all
supress errors. This means that code that needs to handle errors can't use any of these
iterators. All three of these iterators were updated to produce IoResults.
Fixes#12368
These two containers are indeed collections, so their place is in
libcollections, not in libstd. There will always be a hash map as part of the
standard distribution of Rust, but by moving it out of the standard library it
makes libstd that much more portable to more platforms and environments.
This conveniently also removes the stuttering of 'std::hashmap::HashMap',
although 'collections::HashMap' is only one character shorter.
* Reexport io::mem and io::buffered structs directly under io, make mem/buffered
private modules
* Remove with_mem_writer
* Remove DEFAULT_CAPACITY and use DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE (in io::buffered)
The `print!` and `println!` macros are now the preferred method of printing, and so there is no reason to export the `stdio` functions in the prelude. The functions have also been replaced by their macro counterparts in the tutorial and other documentation so that newcomers don't get confused about what they should be using.
- `Buffer.lines()` returns `LineIterator` which yields line using
`.read_line()`.
- `Reader.bytes()` now takes `&mut self` instead of `self`.
- `Reader.read_until()` swallows `EndOfFile`. This also affects
`.read_line()`.
This function had type &[u8] -> ~str, i.e. it allocates a string
internally, even though the non-allocating version that take &[u8] ->
&str and ~[u8] -> ~str are all that is necessary in most circumstances.
The reasons for doing this are:
* The model on which linked failure is based is inherently complex
* The implementation is also very complex, and there are few remaining who
fully understand the implementation
* There are existing race conditions in the core context switching function of
the scheduler, and possibly others.
* It's unclear whether this model of linked failure maps well to a 1:1 threading
model
Linked failure is often a desired aspect of tasks, but we would like to take a
much more conservative approach in re-implementing linked failure if at all.

This commit re-organizes the io::native module slightly in order to have a
working implementation of rtio::IoFactory which uses native implementations. The
goal is to seamlessly multiplex among libuv/native implementations wherever
necessary.
Right now most of the native I/O is unimplemented, but we have existing bindings
for file descriptors and processes which have been hooked up. What this means is
that you can now invoke println!() from libstd with no local task, no local
scheduler, and even without libuv.
There's still plenty of work to do on the native I/O factory, but this is the
first steps into making it an official portion of the standard library. I don't
expect anyone to reach into io::native directly, but rather only std::io
primitives will be used. Each std::io interface seamlessly falls back onto the
native I/O implementation if the local scheduler doesn't have a libuv one
(hurray trait ojects!)
This renames to_str_ascii to as_str_ascii and makes it non-copying,
which is possible now that strings no longer have a hidden extra
byte/null terminator.
Fixes#6120.
Previously an ExprLit was created *per byte* causing a huge increase in memory
bloat. This adds a new `lit_binary` to contain a literal of binary data, which
is currently only used by the include_bin! syntax extension. This massively
speeds up compilation times of the shootout-k-nucleotide-pipes test
before:
time: 469s
memory: 6GB
assertion failure in LLVM (section too large)
after:
time: 2.50s
memory: 124MB
Closes#2598
Add a new trait BytesContainer that is implemented for both byte vectors
and strings.
Convert Path::from_vec and ::from_str to one function, Path::new().
Remove all the _str-suffixed mutation methods (push, join, with_*,
set_*) and modify the non-suffixed versions to use BytesContainer.
Remove the old path.
Rename path2 to path.
Update all clients for the new path.
Also make some miscellaneous changes to the Path APIs to help the
adoption process.
It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.
Closes#6592
