eef913b290 auto merge of #10495 : alexcrichton/rust/more-native-io, r=brson
This implements a fair amount of the unimpl() functionality in io::native
relating to filesystem operations. I've also modified all io::fs tests to run in
both a native and uv environment (so everything is actually tested).

There are a few bits of remaining functionality which I was unable to get
working:

* truncate on windows
* change_file_times on windows
* lstat on windows

I think that change_file_times may just need a better interface, but the other
two have large implementations in libuv which I didn't want to tackle trying to
copy. I found a `chsize` function to work for truncate on windows, but it
doesn't quite seem to be working out.

24eb1b445d Implement a native mutex type
This mutex is built on top of pthreads for unix and the related windows apis on

recommended for general use.

These commits create a `Buffer` trait in the `io` module which represents an I/O reader which is internally buffered. This abstraction is used to reasonably implement `read_line` and `read_until` along with at least an ok implementation of `read_char` (although I certainly haven't benchmarked `read_char`).

58b5c618cf auto merge of #10457 : alexcrichton/rust/native-io, r=brson
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!)

a79ed57beb auto merge of #10451 : zkamsler/rust/buf_writer, r=alexcrichton
I implemented BufWriter. I realize the use of conditions are on their way out for IO, but it does raise a condition if a write will not fit in the buffer for now.

I also replaced the seek code for MemWriter. It was adding the offset as a uint, which is unsound for negative offsets. It only happened to work because unsigned addition performs the same operation with two's complement, and sizeof(uint) <= sizeof(i64) so there was no (lack of) sign extension. I replaced this with computing an offset as an i64 and clamping to zero. I don't expect anyone will have use BufWriter with a byte buffer greater than 2^63 bytes any time soon.

7bc092f109 Introduce an io::Buffer trait
This trait is meant to abstract whether a reader is actually implemented with an
underlying buffer. For all readers which are implemented as such, we can
efficiently implement things like read_char, read_line, read_until, etc. There
are two required methods for managing the internal buffer, and otherwise
read_line and friends can all become default methods.

(As a side note the precedence of the unary negative operator '-' tripped me up for a bit. Essentially I would expect `-25.0f32.sqrt()` to result in NaN instead of `-5.0`.)

I was benchmarking rust-http recently, and I saw that 50% of its time was spent
creating buffered readers/writers. Albeit rust-http wasn't using
std::rt::io::buffered, but the same idea applies here. It's much cheaper to
malloc a large region and not initialize it than to set it all to 0. Buffered
readers/writers never use uninitialized data, and their internal buffers are
encapsulated, so any usage of uninitialized slots are an implementation bug in
the readers/writers.

0966ec01dc auto merge of #10407 : alexcrichton/rust/no-fixed-stack-segment, r=brson
The commit messages have more details, but this removes all analysis and usage related to fixed_stack_segment and rust_stack attributes. It's now the assumption that we always have "enough stack" and we'll implement detection of stack overflow through other means.

The stack overflow detection is currently implemented for rust functions, but it is unimplemented for C functions (we still don't have guard pages).

1f19243095 Decrease the default stack size back to 2MB
I increased this to 4MB when I implemented abort-on-stack-overflow for Rust
functions. Now that the fixed_stack_segment attribute is removed, no rust
function will ever reasonably request 2MB of stack (due to calling an FFI
function).

The default size of 2MB should be plenty for everyday use-cases, and tasks can
still request more stack via the spawning API.

7755ffd013 Remove #[fixed_stack_segment] and #[rust_stack]
These two attributes are no longer useful now that Rust has decided to leave
segmented stacks behind. It is assumed that the rust task's stack is always
large enough to make an FFI call (due to the stack being very large).

There's always the case of stack overflow, however, to consider. This does not
change the behavior of stack overflow in Rust. This is still normally triggered
by the __morestack function and aborts the whole process.

C stack overflow will continue to corrupt the stack, however (as it did before
this commit as well). The future improvement of a guard page at the end of every
rust stack is still unimplemented and is intended to be the mechanism through
which we attempt to detect C stack overflow.

It appears that uv's support for interacting with a stdio stream as a tty when

quickly if it's not identified as a tty.

This Fixes #10265 and paves the way for fixing #9543. It works by adding a 'package_id' attribute by default for library crates that don't specify it. This is necessary to use the 'extern mod foo = "bar"' form instead of 'extern mod foo(name="bar") (as per #9543), because the former adds a required package_id when trying to link with the bar crate. I added a simple test to ensure that the default package_id value is being generated, and also added an explicit package_id in the link attribute in all rust libs to avoid getting warnings about default package_id values when building rust.

b95a8c63fd std::ascii: Provide a copyless [Ascii] -> str method.
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.

There were a few ambiguous error messages which look like they could have
cropped up from either the rust compiler for the format string parser. To
differentiate, the prefix 'invalid format string' is now added in front of all
format string errors.

47e0bd403a Move implementation for threads to Rust
This binds to the appropriate pthreads_* and Windows specific functions
and calls them from Rust. This allows for removal of the C++ support
code for threads.

Right now if you're running a program with its output piped to some location and
the program decides to go awry, when you kill the program via some signal none
of the program's last 4K of output will get printed to the screen. In theory the
solution to this would be to register a signal handler as part of the runtime
which then flushes the output stream.

I believe that the current behavior is far enough from what's expected that we
shouldn't be providing this sort of "super buffering" by default when stdout
isn't attached to a tty.

Fixes #2057.

Example:
```Rust
#[no_std];

type c_char = u8;
type c_int = i32;
type size_t = uint;

extern {
    fn printf(format: *c_char, ...) -> c_int;
}

fn fail_bounds_check(_: *c_char, _: size_t, _: size_t, _: size_t) {}

#[start]
#[fixed_stack_segment]
fn main(_: int, _: **u8) -> int {
    unsafe {
        let msg = bytes!("Hello World!

This isn't quite as fancy as the struct in #9913, but I'm not sure we should be exposing crate names/hashes of the types. That being said, it'd be pretty easy to extend this (the deterministic hashing regardless of what crate you're in was the hard part).

This fleshes out the io::file module a fair bit more, adding all of the functionality that I can think of that we would want. Some questions about the representation which I'm curious about:

* I modified `FileStat` to be a little less platform-agnostic, but it's still fairly platform-specific. I don't want to hide information that we have, but I don't want to depend on this information being available. One possible route is to have an `extra` field which has all this os-dependent stuff which is clearly documented as it should be avoided.

* Does it make sense for directory functions to be top-level functions instead of static methods? It seems silly to import `std::rt::io::file` and `std::rt::io::File` at the top of files that need to deal with directories and files.
