Runtime services, including the task scheduler and I/O dispatcher The `rt` module provides the private runtime infrastructure necessary to support core language features like the exchange and local heap, the garbage collector, logging, local data and unwinding. It also implements the default task scheduler and task model. Initialization routines are provided for setting up runtime resources in common configurations, including that used by `rustc` when generating executables. It is intended that the features provided by `rt` can be factored in a way such that the core library can be built with different 'profiles' for different use cases, e.g. excluding the task scheduler. A number of runtime features though are critical to the functioning of the language and an implementation must be provided regardless of the execution environment. Of foremost importance is the global exchange heap, in the module `heap`. Very little practical Rust code can be written without access to the global heap. Unlike most of `rt` the global heap is truly a global resource and generally operates independently of the rest of the runtime. All other runtime features are task-local, including the local heap, the garbage collector, local storage, logging and the stack unwinder. The relationship between `rt` and the rest of the core library is not entirely clear yet and some modules will be moving into or out of `rt` as development proceeds. Several modules in `core` are clients of `rt`: * `std::task` - The user-facing interface to the Rust task model. * `std::local_data` - The interface to local data. * `std::gc` - The garbage collector. * `std::unstable::lang` - Miscellaneous lang items, some of which rely on `std::rt`. * `std::cleanup` - Local heap destruction. * `std::io` - In the future `std::io` will use an `rt` implementation. * `std::logging` * `std::comm` */ // FIXME: this should not be here. #![allow(missing_doc)] use failure; use rustrt; // Reexport some of our utilities which are expected by other crates. pub use self::util::{default_sched_threads, min_stack, running_on_valgrind}; // Reexport functionality from librustrt and other crates underneath the // standard library which work together to create the entire runtime. pub use alloc::{heap, libc_heap}; pub use rustrt::{task, local, mutex, exclusive, stack, args, rtio, thread}; pub use rustrt::{Stdio, Stdout, Stderr, begin_unwind, begin_unwind_fmt}; pub use rustrt::{bookkeeping, at_exit, unwind, DEFAULT_ERROR_CODE, Runtime}; // Simple backtrace functionality (to print on failure) pub mod backtrace; // Just stuff mod util; /// One-time runtime initialization. /// /// Initializes global state, including frobbing /// the crate's logging flags, registering GC /// metadata, and storing the process arguments. #[allow(experimental)] pub fn init(argc: int, argv: **u8) { rustrt::init(argc, argv); unsafe { unwind::register(failure::on_fail); } } /// One-time runtime cleanup. /// /// This function is unsafe because it performs no checks to ensure that the /// runtime has completely ceased running.
