This involved adding 'copy' to more generics than I hoped, but an
experiment with making it implicit showed that that way lies madness --
unless enforced, you will not remember to mark functions that don't
copy as not requiring copyable kind.
Issue #1177
Had to ignore some task failure tests due to the current implementation
of spawn which guarantees that there's always something in the spawned
task that needs to be unwound.
Fixed some win-specific build problems.
It takes a lot of boilerplate to create a task and establish a way to talk to
it. This function simplifies that, allowing you to write something like
'worker(f).chan <| start'. Implementation is very unsafe and only works for a
few types of channels, but something like this is very useful.
This replaces the make-based test runner with a set of Rust-based test
runners. I believe that all existing functionality has been
preserved. The primary objective is to dogfood the Rust test
framework.
A few main things happen here:
1) The run-pass/lib-* tests are all moved into src/test/stdtest. This
is a standalone test crate intended for all standard library tests. It
compiles to build/test/stdtest.stageN.
2) rustc now compiles into yet another build artifact, this one a test
runner that runs any tests contained directly in the rustc crate. This
allows much more fine-grained unit testing of the compiler. It
compiles to build/test/rustctest.stageN.
3) There is a new custom test runner crate at src/test/compiletest
that reproduces all the functionality for running the compile-fail,
run-fail, run-pass and bench tests while integrating with Rust's test
framework. It compiles to build/test/compiletest.stageN.
4) The build rules have been completely changed to use the new test
runners, while also being less redundant, following the example of the
recent stageN.mk rewrite.
It adds two new features to the cfail/rfail/rpass/bench tests:
1) Tests can specify multiple 'error-pattern' directives which must be
satisfied in order.
2) Tests can specify a 'compile-flags' directive which will make the
test runner provide additional command line arguments to rustc.
There are some downsides, the primary being that Rust has to be
functioning pretty well just to run _any_ tests, which I imagine will
be the source of some frustration when the entire test suite
breaks. Will also cause some headaches during porting.
Not having individual make rules, each rpass, etc test no longer
remembers between runs whether it completed successfully. As a result,
it's not possible to incrementally fix multiple tests by just running
'make check', fixing a test, and repeating without re-running all the
tests contained in the test runner. Instead you can filter just the
tests you want to run by using the TESTNAME environment variable.
This also dispenses with the ability to run stage0 tests, but they
tended to be broken more often than not anyway.
