Implement [RFC #1048][rfc].
On Windows, when you create a symbolic link you must specify whether it
points to a directory or a file, even if it is created dangling, while
on Unix, the same symbolic link could point to a directory, a file, or
nothing at all. Furthermore, on Windows special privilege is necessary
to use a symbolic link, while on Unix, you can generally create a
symbolic link in any directory you have write privileges to.
This means that it is unlikely to be able to use symbolic links purely
portably; anyone who uses them will need to think about the cross
platform implications. This means that using platform-specific APIs
will make it easier to see where code will need to differ between the
platforms, rather than trying to provide some kind of compatibility
wrapper.
Furthermore, `soft_link` has no precedence in any other API, so to avoid
confusion, move back to the more standard `symlink` terminology.
Create a `std::os::unix::symlink` for the Unix version that is
destination type agnostic, as well as `std::os::windows::{symlink_file,
symlink_dir}` for Windows.
Because this is a stable API, leave a compatibility wrapper in
`std::fs::soft_link`, which calls `symlink` on Unix and `symlink_file`
on Windows, preserving the existing behavior of `soft_link`.

This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

This patch adds a `Debug` impl for `std::fs::File`.
On all platforms (Unix and Windows) it shows the file descriptor.
On Linux, it displays the path and access mode as well.
Ideally we should show the path/mode for all platforms, not just Linux,
but this will do for now.

As pointed out in [RFC issue 1043][rfc] it is quite useful to have the standard
I/O types to provide the contract that they are the sole owner of the underlying
object they represent. This guarantee enables writing safe interfaces like the
`MemoryMap` API sketched out in that issue.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1043
As constructing objects from these raw handles may end up violating these
ownership gurantees, the functions for construction are now marked unsafe.
[breaking-change]
Closesrust-lang/rfcs#1043
The logic for only closing file descriptors >= 3 was inherited from quite some
time ago and ends up meaning that some internal APIs are less consistent than
they should be. By unconditionally closing everything entering a `FileDesc` we
ensure that we're consistent in our behavior as well as robustly handling the
stdio case.
* De-indent quite a bit by removing usage of FnOnce closures
* Clearly separate code for the parent/child after the fork
* Use `fs2::{File, OpenOptions}` instead of calling `open` manually
* Use RAII to close I/O objects wherever possible
* Remove loop for closing all file descriptors, all our own ones are now
`CLOEXEC` by default so they cannot be inherited
This commit starts to set the CLOEXEC flag for all files and sockets opened by
the standard library by default on all unix platforms. There are a few points of
note in this commit:
* The implementation is not 100% satisfactory in the face of threads. File
descriptors only have the `F_CLOEXEC` flag set *after* they are opened,
allowing for a fork/exec to happen in the middle and leak the descriptor.
Some platforms do support atomically opening a descriptor while setting the
`CLOEXEC` flag, and it is left as a future extension to bind these apis as it
is unclear how to do so nicely at this time.
* The implementation does not offer a method of opting into the old behavior of
not setting `CLOEXEC`. This will possibly be added in the future through
extensions on `OpenOptions`, for example.
* This change does not yet audit any Windows APIs to see if the handles are
inherited by default by accident.
This is a breaking change for users who call `fork` or `exec` outside of the
standard library itself and expect file descriptors to be inherted. All file
descriptors created by the standard library will no longer be inherited.

This commit stabilizes the old `io::Error::from_os_error` after being renamed to
use the `raw_os_error` terminology instead. This function is often useful when
writing bindings to OS functions but only actually converting to an I/O error at
a later point.

write_fmt calls write for each formatted field. The default implementation of write_fmt is used,
which will call write on not-yet-locked stdout (and write locking after), therefore making print!
in multithreaded environment still interleave contents of two separate prints.
I’m not sure whether we want to do this change, though, because it has the same deadlock hazard which we tried to avoid by not locking inside write_fmt itself (see [this comment](80def6c244/src/libstd/io/stdio.rs (L267))).

This patch implements reentrant mutexes, changes stdio handles to use these mutexes and overrides
write_fmt to lock the stdio handle for the whole duration of the call.
These constants are small and can fit even in `u8`, but semantically they have type `usize` because they denote sizes and are almost always used in `usize` context. The change of their type to `u32` during the integer audit led only to the large amount of `as usize` noise (see the second commit, which removes this noise).
This is a minor [breaking-change] to an unstable interface.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC 979][rfc] which changes the meaning of
the count parameter to the `splitn` function on strings and slices. The
parameter now means the number of items that are returned from the iterator, not
the number of splits that are made.

This commit stabilizes a few remaining bits of the `io::Error` type:
* The `Error::new` method is now stable. The last `detail` parameter was removed
and the second `desc` parameter was generalized to `E: Into<Box<Error>>` to
allow creating an I/O error from any form of error. Currently there is no form
of downcasting, but this will be added in time.
* An implementation of `From<&str> for Box<Error>` was added to liballoc to
allow construction of errors from raw strings.
* The `Error::raw_os_error` method was stabilized as-is.
* Trait impls for `Clone`, `Eq`, and `PartialEq` were removed from `Error` as it
is not possible to use them with trait objects.
This is a breaking change due to the modification of the `new` method as well as
the removal of the trait implementations for the `Error` type.

This commit is an implementation of [RFC #1011][rfc] which adds an `exit`
function to the standard library for immediately terminating the current process
with a specified exit code.

* Marks `#[stable]` the contents of the `std::convert` module.
* Added methods `PathBuf::as_path`, `OsString::as_os_str`,
`String::as_str`, `Vec::{as_slice, as_mut_slice}`.
* Deprecates `OsStr::from_str` in favor of a new, stable, and more
general `OsStr::new`.
* Adds unstable methods `OsString::from_bytes` and `OsStr::{to_bytes,
to_cstring}` for ergonomic FFI usage.

This commit cleans out a large amount of deprecated APIs from the standard
library and some of the facade crates as well, updating all users in the
compiler and in tests as it goes along.
This commit stabilizes the platform-specific `io` modules, specifically around
the traits having to do with the raw representation of each object on each
platform.
Specifically, the following material was stabilized:
* `AsRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}`
* `RawFd` (renamed from `Fd`)
* `RawHandle` (renamed from `Handle`)
* `RawSocket` (renamed from `Socket`)
* `AsRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}` implementations
* `std::os::{unix, windows}::io`
The following material was added as `#[unstable]`:
* `FromRaw{Fd,Socket,Handle}`
* Implementations for various primitives
There are a number of future improvements that are possible to make to this
module, but this should cover a good bit of functionality desired from these
modules for now. Some specific future additions may include:
* `IntoRawXXX` traits to consume the raw representation and cancel the
auto-destructor.
* `Fd`, `Socket`, and `Handle` abstractions that behave like Rust objects and
have nice methods for various syscalls.
At this time though, these are considered backwards-compatible extensions and
will not be stabilized at this time.
This commit is a breaking change due to the addition of `Raw` in from of the
type aliases in each of the platform-specific modules.

This commit stabilizes the `std::num` module:
* The `Int` and `Float` traits are deprecated in favor of (1) the
newly-added inherent methods and (2) the generic traits available in
rust-lang/num.
* The `Zero` and `One` traits are reintroduced in `std::num`, which
together with various other traits allow you to recover the most
common forms of generic programming.
* The `FromStrRadix` trait, and associated free function, is deprecated
in favor of inherent implementations.
* A wide range of methods and constants for both integers and floating
point numbers are now `#[stable]`, having been adjusted for integer
guidelines.
* `is_positive` and `is_negative` are renamed to `is_sign_positive` and
`is_sign_negative`, in order to address #22985
* The `Wrapping` type is moved to `std::num` and stabilized;
`WrappingOps` is deprecated in favor of inherent methods on the
integer types, and direct implementation of operations on
`Wrapping<X>` for each concrete integer type `X`.

This commit revises `path` and `os_str` to use blanket impls for `From`
on reference types. This both cuts down on the number of required impls,
and means that you can pass through e.g. `T: AsRef<OsStr>` to
`PathBuf::from` without an intermediate call to `as_ref`.
It also makes a FIXME note for later generalizing the blanket impls for
`AsRef` and `AsMut` to use `Deref`/`DerefMut`, once it is possible to do
so.
Linking `__pthread_get_minstack`, even weakly, was causing Debian’s `dpkg-shlibdeps` to detect an unnecessarily strict versioned dependency on libc6.
Closes#23628.
This commit:
* Introduces `std::convert`, providing an implementation of
RFC 529.
* Deprecates the `AsPath`, `AsOsStr`, and `IntoBytes` traits, all
in favor of the corresponding generic conversion traits.
Consequently, various IO APIs now take `AsRef<Path>` rather than
`AsPath`, and so on. Since the types provided by `std` implement both
traits, this should cause relatively little breakage.
* Deprecates many `from_foo` constructors in favor of `from`.
* Changes `PathBuf::new` to take no argument (creating an empty buffer,
as per convention). The previous behavior is now available as
`PathBuf::from`.
* De-stabilizes `IntoCow`. It's not clear whether we need this separate trait.
