* Factor out the nigh-identical bodies of `_print` and `_eprint` to a helper
function `print_to` (I was sorely tempted to call it `_doprnt`).
* Update the issue number for the unstable `eprint` feature.
* Add entries to the "unstable book" for `eprint` and `eprint_internal`.
* Style corrections to the documentation.
WriteConsoleW can fail if called with a large buffer so we need to slice
any stdout/stderr output.
However the current slicing has a few problems:
1. It slices by byte but still expects valid UTF-8.
2. The slicing happens even when not outputting to a console.
3. panic! output is not sliced.
This fixes these issues by moving the slice to right before
WriteConsoleW and slicing on a char boundary.
This pushes the implementation detail of proxying `read_to_end` through to
`read_to_end_uninitialized` all the way down to the `FileDesc` and `Handle`
implementations on Unix/Windows. This way intermediate layers will also be able
to take advantage of this optimized implementation.
This commit also adds the optimized implementation for `ChildStdout` and
`ChildStderr`.
On all platforms, reading from stdin where the actual stdin isn't present should
return 0 bytes as having been read rather than the entire buffer.
On Windows, handle the case where we're inheriting stdio handles but one of them
isn't present. Currently the behavior is to fail returning an I/O error but
instead this commit corrects it to detecting this situation and propagating the
non-set handle.
Closes#31167
* Delete `sys::unix::{c, sync}` as these are now all folded into libc itself
* Update all references to use `libc` as a result.
* Update all references to the new flat namespace.
* Moves all windows bindings into sys::c
Currently if a print happens while a thread is being torn down it may cause a
panic if the LOCAL_STDOUT TLS slot has been destroyed by that point. This adds a
guard to check and prints to the process stdout if that's the case (as we do for
if the slot is already borrowed).
Closes#29488
Closes#25977
The various `stdfoo_raw` methods in std::io now return `io::Result`s,
since they may not exist on Windows. They will always return `Ok` on
Unix-like platforms.
[breaking-change]
An automated script was run against the `.rs` and `.md` files,
subsituting every occurrence of `task` with `thread`. In the `.rs`
files, only the texts in the comment blocks were affected.
Changes the style guidelines regarding unit tests to recommend using a
sub-module named "tests" instead of "test" for unit tests as "test"
might clash with imports of libtest.
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.
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.
Previously a panic was generated for recursive prints due to a double-borrow of
a `RefCell`. This was solved by the second borrow's output being directed
towards the global stdout instead of the per-thread stdout (still experimental
functionality).
After this functionality was altered, however, recursive prints still deadlocked
due to the overridden `write_fmt` method which locked itself first and then
wrote all the data. This was fixed by removing the override of the `write_fmt`
method. This means that unlocked usage of `write!` on a `Stdout`/`Stderr` may be
slower due to acquiring more locks, but it's easy to make more performant with a
call to `.lock()`.
Closes#23781
