cannot use an `as` expression to coerce, so I used a one-off function
instead (this is a no-op in stage0, but in stage1+ it triggers
coercion from the fn pointer to the fn item type).
This commit is part of a series that introduces a `std::thread` API to
replace `std::task`.
In the new API, `spawn` returns a `JoinGuard`, which by default will
join the spawned thread when dropped. It can also be used to join
explicitly at any time, returning the thread's result. Alternatively,
the spawned thread can be explicitly detached (so no join takes place).
As part of this change, Rust processes now terminate when the main
thread exits, even if other detached threads are still running, moving
Rust closer to standard threading models. This new behavior may break code
that was relying on the previously implicit join-all.
In addition to the above, the new thread API also offers some built-in
support for building blocking abstractions in user space; see the module
doc for details.

This commit merges the `rustrt` crate into `std`, undoing part of the
facade. This merger continues the paring down of the runtime system.
Code relying on the public API of `rustrt` will break; some of this API
is now available through `std::rt`, but is likely to change and/or be
removed very soon.

followed by a semicolon.
This allows code like `vec![1i, 2, 3].len();` to work.
This breaks code that uses macros as statements without putting
semicolons after them, such as:
fn main() {
...
assert!(a == b)
assert!(c == d)
println(...);
}
It also breaks code that uses macros as items without semicolons:
local_data_key!(foo)
fn main() {
println("hello world")
}
Add semicolons to fix this code. Those two examples can be fixed as
follows:
fn main() {
...
assert!(a == b);
assert!(c == d);
println(...);
}
local_data_key!(foo);
fn main() {
println("hello world")
}

This commit:
* Changes the #deriving code so that it generates code that utilizes fewer
reexports (in particur Option::* and Result::*), which is necessary to
remove those reexports in the future
* Changes other areas of the codebase so that fewer reexports are utilized
This commit removes the `std::local_data` module in favor of a new
`std::thread_local` module providing thread local storage. The module provides
two variants of TLS: one which owns its contents and one which is based on
scoped references. Each implementation has pros and cons listed in the
documentation.
Both flavors have accessors through a function called `with` which yield a
reference to a closure provided. Both flavors also panic if a reference cannot
be yielded and provide a function to test whether an access would panic or not.
This is an implementation of [RFC 461][rfc] and full details can be found in
that RFC.
This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `std::local_data` module.
All users can migrate to the new thread local system like so:
thread_local!(static FOO: Rc<RefCell<Option<T>>> = Rc::new(RefCell::new(None)))
The old `local_data` module inherently contained the `Rc<RefCell<Option<T>>>` as
an implementation detail which must now be explicitly stated by users.
